"... The coast of South America..."

"South America?!" He grinned. "I heard the ladies there are very lovely."

"I'm not sure, I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese."

"What a waste, you could have gotten yourself a girlfriend."

"I don't have time for relationships." Amon sighed. "I've heard that Takashi-san has gone missing?"

"Yes, last time I've seen him was a few weeks ago, at that time he was completely set on hunting down the ghoul siblings." Nakajima answered.

"Ghoul siblings?" Amon wondered as he took a file from his desk and scanned through it. In it was all the collected information of the ghouls who have received the most attention in the 20th ward. "The sibling ghouls? Those are the ghouls who appeared a few years ago and created quite some trouble in the ward, right?"

"Yes, they've become less active, but when they are, it's never pleasant. The cases may be less, but it's the same amount of bloodshed. Takashi-san had run into them some time ago, but they escaped."

"Any specifications about those ghouls? Gender, age, kagune type?"

"From Takashi-san's description they were pretty young, they didn't bring out their kagune during the encounter, but based on the lack of traces in the previous cases, we believe they're ukaku type, it's not confirmed yet. Their genders are unknown, they were both wearing long coats and from Takashi-san's description and probably wigs too."

Amon frowned. "They're clever. What about their masks?"

"According to Takashi-san's report, they were wearing hoodies and scarves to mask their faces."

"They were probably caught off guard during that time." The large man frowned. "This is troublesome. We don't have any leads to make a proper profile." He mumbled. "Is it their habit to work together during hunts? Have you found any evidence that they're related?"

"Nothing had been confirmed as of yet, however, based on the traces left behind at previous incidents, there was a match of about 53%, which means that the ghouls are probably siblings."

Amon nodded and sighed. "I see. It's still not enough evidence to start a proper investigation and considering their low body count and the lack of leads, I'd suggest you to focus on the more active ghouls first. We can leave the sibling ghouls for when we have more information on them. He sat down on his chair and let out a sigh. He got back only seconds ago and his work was already filled with unsolved cases.

Nakajima nodded and returned to his task, leaving his colleague with checking the files and the new job the headquarters had assigned him to. "The 20th ward..."

The morning was grey and cloudy, not a single raindrop was falling from the sky. Touka was, partly grateful for that. The bad thing was, now she had nothing to focus, except for Ayato's grumbling so and continuous complaining about his sister's 'low blow' as he would place it. It was a good thing he wasn't putting a scene, like he did hours ago when she woke him up.

"Just be obedient for once and listen to what that guy says." Touka commented. "And don't start asking him weird questions or throw any insults."

She heard her brother snorting behind her. Apparently he switched over to the silence treatment. Not that it would help much. She stopped abruptly, which resulted in Ayato bumping into her, because he wasn't paying much attention.

"We should go to Uta afterwards to get our masks repaired." She announced softly.

"We could have gone yesterday." The boy mumbled.
