Shin stared at Sagaki for a long moment. Was this just how things were done in America, with teenagers inserting themselves into murder investigations? Or had Sagaki seen one too many crime shows and somehow figured that it seemed like a cool hobby to have? Teenagers nowadays were so troublesome, Shin thought as he once again took a drag from his cigarette.

"I'm not the son of a cop, Sagaki-san. My parents own a popular bar that I help at. I overhear things, and that's it. I'm not buddies with any of the customers; the extent of my relationship with them is them asking if I can do chores for them, and me telling them I'll find someone that's interested," he exhaled, smoking trailing out of his mouth in a rush. "Kawasa of first year has a father that's a cop, but if you want to avoid attention I wouldn't be asking her to steal you a copy of the report. Kawasa's a snitch, and if she doesn't report you to her dad you can be sure she's going to report you to the detective that's been snooping around here.

"If you want info, just keep your eyes and ears open. Don't seek out people and interrogate them on what they may or, more likely, may not know or you'll find yourself having a nice chat with the detective. And I can guarantee once that happens, you won't be able to move about as freely as you can now. You've got to be patient and wait for the right time if you want to be the hero and catch the guy."

He glared down at his cigarette, disappointed in himself for taking such long drags and finishing the cigarette quicker. Snuffing it into the ground next to him, he grabbed his bag from the burger joint and dropped his trash in it before picking up his milkshake again. Standing, he swayed for a moment as he regained his balance before looking over at Sagaki.

"I'll let you know if I hear anything," he said. "Just cool, alright? Otherwise you'll burn out before you even began."

He frowned slightly, and pulled a small notebook from his bag, ad began writing notes based on Shin's suggestions.

Once finished he flip the book closed and looked at the other boy.

"I don't need advice on how to do my job. I will attend to my methods."

He extended a small card toward Shin.

"Just keep me posted if you hear anything. You can send it to that e-mail address."

He moved over toward the door to the roof and looked back toward Shin.

"....You've been very helpful."

Yeah, Sagaki was definitely like Brendan. Never had Shin sympathized with a movie character more than now. Still, he took the offered card and put it in his pocket without reading the address on it. The fact that Sagaki had a business card didn't strike Shin as odd as him investigating the murder; weren't business cards common in the big cities?

Whatever it was, Shin shrugged and followed after Sagaki to the door. Lunch had to be almost up by now.

"I try," he said, giving a cheeky grin before moving past Sagaki to be the first in. He'd have to ditch the bag somewhere remote, so a teacher wouldn't see it and propose some new rule with a strict penalty against those that left the school.

	It didn't matter that Shin didn't look at it, the card was mostly blank, just an e-mail address. He let Shin slip past him and head inside. Once the other boy had stepped into the building Thomas let the door close by itself, not stepping through. He turned toward the edge of the building so that he might contemplate the information Shin had provided him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
