Bloody Monday 66

Chapter 66

125

Guard: This is the main entrance of Kantou Special Prison.
Guard: The terrorists with the antivirus have arrived!

Guard: There are...10 of them!!

Sawakita: Section Chief Kamata, we've received word from the Kantou Special Prison.
Sawakita: At 8:38...10 terrorists arrived.
Kamata: I see.
Title: File 66 1 Hour of Offense and Defense

126

Kamata: So they've come for him.
Kamata: It's unfortunate, but Minister Kujou and the others' lives are indispensable.

Kamata: We'll release Kamishima Simon as the terrorists requested.
Kamata: We need to make the exchange for the antivirus as quickly as possible,
Kamata: Sawakita-kun.

Sawakita: Under...
Sawakita: stood...

Yajima: Don't let them release him.
Sawakita: Eh?

Yajima: Even if they hand over the antivirus as promised, we won't know if it's real until an hour or two from now.
Yajima: We should at least have a reason to make them wait that long.

127

Sawakita: Yajima-san, going against the deal would definitely be disobeying orders!
Sawakita: If we do that, we'll be lucky if we're just fired...
Kirishima: Under Fujimaru-kun's command, almost all of the enemies at Mishiro Academy have been taken out.

Sawakita: Huh!?
Kirishima: It seems the only one left is that Jack Damon.

Kirishima: If it all goes well, we can give them the antivirus we have.

Sawakita: So...
Sawakita: we just need to tell Section Chief Kamata that...

Kirishima: Think about it.
Kirishima: He'll go into a fit of rage over us taking actions without telling him.
Kirishima: He'll fire us and arrest Fujimaru-kun and the others...
Kirishima: He's sure to just take away everything we've achieved.

Kirishima: And whatever we do, it won't be long before the terrorists at the prison hear about this.
Kirishima: Once that happens, the deal's sure to be off.

128

Yajima: For now, handing over Kamishima Simon as Kamata ordered will be our worst case scenario.
Yajima: We'll invite the terrorists into the prison and buy some time.
Yajima: I'll take all responsibility.

Sawakita: ...Understood.
Sawakita: So he'll be in the dark like the emperor and his new clothes.

Kirishima: Okay...
Kirishima: let's get started!

129

Text right of guard: ...A high school girl?

Maya: We don't know when we're going to get a gun pointed at us.
Jacob: We're well aware.

130

Maya: ...That's right.

Maya: You're the elite squad...
Maya: chosen by "K".

Guard: Stop here.
Maya: Oh?

Maya: If you don't hand over OUR leader...
Maya: we aren't going to give you the antivirus.

Terrorist: Tch. Damn hired hand...

Guard: We've received instructions from "Third-i"...
Guard: to have you wait here until we've seen that the antivirus was effective.
Maya: Wait here?
Maya: For two hours?

131

Maya: That's not very fair.
Maya: And deals only work if things are fair.
Guard: Those are our orders.
Guard: And we can't trust you terrorists.
Guard: This is as far as we can compromise.

Maya: Well, we have no choice.
Maya: 1 hour.
Maya: We won't wait any longer than that.

Guard: 1 hour...
Guard: This is the prison!
Guard: The terrorist woman said that they would wait for 1 hour.

Maya: That will make it 2 hours and 10 minutes since they were infected.

Maya: I'm sure you already know that "Bloody-X"'s incubation period is 2 to 3 hours.
Maya: But about 50% of those infected show symptoms at 2 hours.

132

Maya: So if none of the 7 infected show symptoms after 2 hours...
Maya: the odds are that the antivirus was the real thing.
Maya: Right?

Guard: We've received consent.
Guard: We agree to those terms.

Maya: Then the negotiations were a success.
Maya: We left the drug at the location written here.

Maya: This would all be pointless if you handed over our leader but we couldn't get away.
Maya: And there's a risk for you that the antivirus is a fake.
Maya: We'll know if our individual risks came to be...

Maya: After this hour from 8:50 to 9:50.

133

Maya: Bring out your weapons.

Maya: Now neither side can move.
Maya: It'll be an hour long staring contest.
Text in the left of Maya's bubble: Hee hee

134

Maya: "J"?
Maya: It's Maya.
J: What?
Maya: The result of the negotiations is that we'll wait an hour so they can see whether the antivirus worked or not...
Maya: and then they'll hand over our leader.

J: In other words...
J: everything went as planned?
Maya: ...Yes.

J: I see...
J: But over here things have strayed from "K"'s plan quite a bit.
Maya: ...In what way?

J: Our radio and cell phones are cut off...
J: and Falcon changed the settings on the jamming device in order to give false orders to Jack.
J: He had him take all 16 guards at Mishiro Academy out of the fight.

135

J: Jack has realized he was given false orders, and is taking on the two "Third-i" members...
J: but seeing as that high schooler led him around by the nose back at that research institute...
J: it's only a matter of time before he's taken down.

J: ...You don't sound too surprised.
Text left of Maya: Hee hee hee
Maya: No...
Maya: It's just that that really sounds like something Falcon would do.

J: You sound like you're enjoying hearing about this...
J: but you know why they are able to fight back, don't you?

J: It's because of that lie...
J: you told.

136

J: You said you took care of all the antivirus at "Third-i"...
J: but...
J: that was a lie, wasn't it?

J: They still have some of the antivirus.
J: That's why they ignored our deal and attacked...right?

Maya: Who knows.
Maya: I thought I'd taken care of all of it...
Maya: but maybe there was some more elsewhere.

J: Stop it.
J: Hearing a pro make a pitiful excuse like that...
J: is painful.
Maya: But...

137

J: I...
J: have an idea as to why...
J: "K" sent YOU on this mission.

J: Well...
J: make sure you live up to "K"'s expectations.
J: I'm...
J: just going to enjoy this as much as I can.

Maya: So he's seen through it all.
Maya: And yet he still...

Jacob: You...

Maya: ...I've received word from "J".

138

Jacob: You bitch.
Jacob: What are you doing!?

Guard: G...
Guard: Get to cover!!!

Maya: Falcon and "Third-i"...
Maya: have ignored our deal and wiped out the units at Mishiro Academy.

Maya: Our negotiations have failed.
Jacob: What!?
Maya: But it's not a problem.

139

Maya: All we have to do...
Maya: is confine them here until the time comes.

Maya: Yes.
Maya: Before long...
Maya: the "answer" will come.

140

Jack: Haa haa
Jack: Haa...

Fujimaru: Minami-san, go in Room 3-A.
Fujimaru: Circle around behind Jack Damon by going out the windows and going over two classrooms.
Minami: Roger.

Fujimaru: Kanou-san, stay on standby where you are.
Fujimaru: Once Minami-san is behind him, he should come rushing towards you.
Kanou: Got it.
Kanou: But how do you know his location so accurately?

141

Fujimaru: Mishiro Academy is much like a prestigious private school.

Fujimaru: A lot of rich kids go here.
Fujimaru: For security purposes, there is an infrared sensor every 20 meters in the hallways and corridors.

Fujimaru: I go to this school, too, so when I'm bored, I sometimes hack into the security device's server.
Fujimaru: I guess you could say it's like my garden.
Minami: I see.
Minami: That's how you know we won't run into him while we're spread around the school like this.

Fujimaru: It's meant to locate an intruder...
Fujimaru: and figure out how and from where he got in.
Fujimaru: And I can know all that when I get the information.

142

Jack: Shit. They're behind me!

Fujimaru: He's moving.
Fujimaru: He'll be there in 5 seconds.

Jack: If I shoot, they'll know where I am...
Jack: I need to move quietly...
Jack: I'll circle around the other way and finish it in one shot!!

Fujimaru: 4...
Fujimaru: 3...
Fujimaru: 2...

Fujimaru: 1...

Kanou: Hey.

143

Kanou: This is Kanou.
Kanou: We've taken down the enemy.

144

Fujimaru: This is Takagi Fujimaru! This is an emergency call to "Third-i"'s BPT.
Fujimaru: All of the terrorists in Mishiro Academy have been taken out!

Fujimaru: I need you to take the antivirus to the infirmary on the 3rd floor of the main building immediately.
Fujimaru: I repeat! All hostiles within the building have been taken care of!! All clear!
