The phone vibrated in Kaito's pocket. It was not a call. It was an alert. He had set the sensors himself. They monitored the ley lines of the city. They rarely triggered together. Tonight, they screamed.
Kaito stood on the rooftop. The wind was cold. He pulled out the phone. The screen showed three red dots. One in the Grey District. One in the Commercial Zone. One near the Academy.
Kuro said: "Three simultaneous breaches."
Kaito said: "I see them."
Kuro said: "You cannot be in three places."
Kaito said: "I do not need to be."
Kaito opened his jacket. He fanned the cards. They vibrated in his hand. They felt the rifts. They wanted to hunt. He selected three cards. He separated them from the deck.
Kaito said: "Kuro. Grey District."
Kuro said: "Alone."
Kaito said: "Containment. Do not engage unless necessary."
Kuro said: "Boring. But fine."
