Dazai nodded his head before saying, "She is quite the sadistic woman.  I remember the last time I got her treatment she used an icepick..."

"Oh my God..."

When the woman came back, she asked for (Y/n) to sit on the desk as she began the check-up.  Yosano checked her vitals, her reflexes, and cleaned the dried blood from her face and around the wound.

"You won't need stitches, it's a surprisingly shallow wound.  You said you had memory loss though, so you likely have a concussion.  If you underwent my treatment, you could be back on your feet in a few minutes, and you'd be able to head back out into the field tomorrow."

(Y/n) shook her head before saying, "I'm not fatally wounded, and I don't want to become fatally wounded for your ability to work.  I'd rather take it easy a few days to recover--"

"Damn..."

(Y/n) couldn't help the sweatdrop that formed on her head at the woman's words.  She nervously laughed off the doctor's words.  "Ha...ha... Is the old man here?"

"Yes, I'm right here."

She turned around and smiled when she saw the man in question standing at the doorway with his signature stoic face.  But, she had read that stoicism for years and she knew when he was feeling happy, sad, guilty, stressed, angry, relieved, and so much more.  Right now, she could tell he was relieved to see her.

"Yukichi!  I have a report for you!"

He scowled at the woman before he said, "Email it to me.  Yosano, how many days until she can return to the field if she chooses to rest?"

The woman shrugged and said, "At least three, but I'll examine her again then and make sure she has no symptoms of the concussion."

The older man nodded his head before staring straight at (Y/n) as he said, "As of now, (Y/n), you will be on desk duty for three days.  I'd like to meet with you and Dazai in my office for now, if you will."

(Y/n) slipped off the desk as Dazai held a hand up to his mouth and with a smirk he said, "Oooo, (Y/n)'s in trouble......."

She playfully shoved him before saying, "I am not,  we're in trouble!  What the hell did you do while I was gone?!"

Dazai scowled and said, "Bold of you to assume I did anything while you were gone..."

"Of course!  You don't do work at all, so if you're in trouble it's because you shut down while I was gone!  Isn't it?! "

Kunikida spoke up over the two as he said, "The President is waiting, you two."

The pair simultaneously grumbled out, "Right..." Dazai and (Y/n) followed the President down a hallway and into his humble office before he said, "Please, close the door behind you."

Once everyone was seated the President said, "Do you know why I have called you here?"

The pair sent a look to each other before they simultaneously said:

"Because Dazai didn't do any work over the last few days."

"Because (Y/n) carelessly got captured by the same organization who had placed a live bounty on her."

The duo glared at each other before they said, "Why would you tell him that!"

Yukichi sighed at the pair before he said, "That is not why I've called you here.  You both are here because you're both the sharpest minds we have at the Agency, and I want your opinion on the situation."

Dazai nodded before saying, "(Y/n), while you were taken, we discovered that the Guild is after a Gifted business permit.  Considering the abduction of some of the Agency's agents, and other attacks on the Port Mafia, it's safe to assume they are willing to use force to obtain one from either organization.  What they don't know is that neither the Agency nor the Port Mafia would ever give up their permits."

(Y/n) nodded her head before she said, "The girl, Lucy, she said she was allowed to take any member of the Agency she wanted.  It's likely they planned to thin out our forces or use us as hostages against the President to force him to give up the permit.  What happened to the Port Mafia?"

"Entire buildings that were used as front companies for the Mafia disappeared."

"Entire buildings?!"

"Yes, exciting, isn't it!"

"No, that's actually terrifying!"

The President got the meeting back on track by saying, "(Y/n), did you find out anything while you were trapped in that girl's ability."

She nodded her head before saying, "I'm still a bit hazy on all of the details, but the girl said that I had started digging through her past while I was fighting her.  All of that information I found must have been saved on database, and I'm sure I could find out more about the other members based on the reports I found.  That, and an interesting man was also trapped in that girl's ability, though I can't imagine why he allowed himself to be trapped."

The President motioned for her to continue and she frowned as she said, "Dr. Mori Ougai was trapped in the ability.  Atsushi says the Doctor was trying to find Elise, who is none other than a fraction of his own ability.  That means he was likely there to stake out the Agency members or the Guild, but I don't know why he would be so invested.  That sort of infiltration is for grunts."

Dazai grabbed her arm before he exclaimed, "What?!  Mori was there?!  You're sure it was him!"

(Y/n) nodded and set her hand on his own before she said, "I called him by that name, and he answered.  It had to be him, he also had the little girl with him."

"Damn!  Did he see you use your ability at all!?"

"Dazai, stop yelling!  No, he didn't!  It's likely he only saw Atsushi's abilities.  Junichirou had me and my codes hidden in his holograms, so all that man knows is that I work with the agency, but he doesn't know my role."

Yukichi sighed out, "That is a relief.  Had Dr. Mori seen your abilities, he would surely have been able to tie you to the bounty from years ago."

(Y/n) nodded her head before she said, "I didn't even know that he had been brought to the room with Atsushi and Junichirou.  I just saw him there in the aftermath, I'm lucky...  I can keep my freedom just a while longer."
