Kaito frowned and picked the call. 

He was not too hopeful, but he did not have anyone else to depend on to find Bonnie and Clyde. Again, he could not leave the hidden danger within the city. If he or the authorities did not capture them, it would not matter if the bomb was found. 

Knowing those two, they would keep causing chaos. 

"Have you found anything?" Kaito asked. 

Yagi understood the urgency of the matter because Kaito explained how dangerous Bonnie and Clyde were. He did not waste time on chitchat. 

"My people have noticed a couple that looks like them," Yagi answered. "They seem to be going to one of the popular restaurants in the eastern districts.. The restaurant is called Floating Pavilion." 

Kaito frowned. He was not familiar with such a restaurant. But again, he did not visit popular eateries, even when he was in Tokyo. He always found it troublesome.

"Send me the photos," Kaito said. 

"I have already sent a complete folder of their activities for the last ten minutes," Yagi responded. 

"Thank you." Kaito was glad he did not reject Yagi's goodwill. Else, even with the CAB and the police, it was unlikely that Bonnie and Clyde could be found. 

"There is no need to mention it." Yagi smiled on the other end as he looked at the setting sun. 

"Make sure that your people do not approach the couple too closely. The two are quite keen, and they can be volatile. If they decide to fight back, the casualties will be extensive." Kaito warned again because he was worried that someone would trigger the firebugs. 

"I know what to do." Yagi paused. "Be careful." 

Kaito felt his lips twitching at the concern expressed. He did not understand why Yagi seemed to think so highly of him. At the most, he had only saved Yagi's niece. There was no need for the man to be so courteous towards him. 

However, Kaito did not know that to Yagi, he was the person who changed his entire outlook on life. The person that Yagi had become could only be attributed to Kaito. Therefore, Kaito was like a source of faith or belief for him. 

After a few more words, Kaito ended the call. Akira looked at him expectantly. 

"Did you find Bonnie and Clyde? Those two are quite good at evading surveillance cameras." Akira felt a little annoyed that she was not able to identify the location of the criminals. 

"Yeah. A new friend has helped me locate them. They are at the Floating Pavilion. Do you know its location?" Kaito asked. 

Akira thought about it for a moment before her eyes lit up. She remembered the location of that restaurant. As a chef and restaurant owner, she often made time to check out other eateries when she had time. 

She remembered the Floating Pavilion because the location, ambience and design were exceptional. However, the food was quite lacking. It was supposed to be a high-end regional cuisine restaurant, but the taste was a little bland. 

"I know about it. It is one of those modern restaurants that rely on the view and online popularity than real food." Akira could not help saying with some derision. 

"I also know that place." Jungle chimed up as he kept driving. "Should we head to the Crystal Plaza or the restaurant? They are not in the same direction." 

Kaito looked at Akira for her opinion. She pursed her lips as she thought about the case. She was still almost certain that the target location was Crystal Plaza, but the directions were obviously different. She could not figure out what was wrong. 

"Is it possible that the people who were caught on camera were decoys?" Akira could not help asking. 

"It is impossible." Kaito looked down at his phone again. In the photos sent by Yagi, Bonnie and Clyde were a little overdressed, but he could still recognise them. They were the real deal. 

"In that case, we should go to the Crystal Lounge. I will call the CAB to give them the information." Akira was not planning on going full-on vigilante on the two criminals. 

Her interest was making sure that the strings were tied completely because the case was directly related to Kaito and therefore, herself. She would not be at peace if she did not see the entire thing being handled with her eyes. 

She quickly found the executive chairman's number and called him. 

"Bonnie and Clyde are at the Floating Pavilion in the eastern region." She said without preamble. 

Chairman Fukui recognised the voice. "Ms Yamazaki, none of the locations that you gave us are close to the Floating Pavilion. Our behavioural analysts have already determined that narcissistic individuals like Bonnie and Clyde would not set off a bomb without being there to see it." 

Akira agreed with that assessment, but she was also confident in Kaito's words. If he said that Bonnie and Clyde were in that restaurant, they would be.

"It does not hurt to check on all the possible leads, Chairman Fukui." She said. 

"We are currently stretched a bit thin. It is difficult to spare more manpower for a wild goose chase." He responded. 

"You can put more people at the Crystal Plaza and send a few officers to the restaurant." Akira insisted. 

Chairman Fukui felt a little annoyed, especially after his assistant brought forward a new report with pictures of a couple near one of the other two targets that Akira identified. The couple matched the existing description of Bonnie and Clyde. 

"Ms Yamazaki, you have already done your part. Let us handle the rest. Go home and rest." Chairman Fukui said before hanging up the call. 

"Ugh!" Akira tossed her phone aside. "Jungle, go to the Floating Pavilion."

Kaito rubbed the soft hair on Akira's head. "Don't worry. All things will work out." 

In the Floating Pavilion restaurant, a couple entered. Their appearances were not too distinctive, but they had a strange charm. Perhaps, it was the intoxication of feelings in their eyes that caused them to look like they could not see anyone other than each other. 

Furthermore, it looked like they had both taken a lot of care to look good. 

"Mr and Mrs Barrow, welcome to the Floating Pavilion. Your table is ready." The hostess smiled at the couple. She found the name strange, but it was not her place to say anything. She just thought it was an unusual name, and it did not match the couple. 

"Thank you." Bonnie smiled back while clinging to Clyde's arm. "We specified that we specified that we would like to have a westward-facing table next to the windows. I hope that this matter is included in our reservation." 

"Of course. We pride ourselves in fulfilling our customer's requests." The hostess said. 

"Do not mind my wife for being pedantic. It is our anniversary. We have always dreamed of having a meal overlooking the evening sky for our fifth anniversary." Clyde said while hugging Bonnie closely, uncaring about the eyes on them as the hostess led them into the restaurant. 

"Happy anniversary." The hostess congratulated them with some genuine enthusiasm. 

Bonnie and Clyde looked at the beautiful restaurant with sparkling eyes. The Floating Pavilion was so named because the walls and the roof of this eatery, which was at the top floor of the high rise building, were made entirely of clear reinforced glass. 

In essence, standing in the restaurant would cause one to feel like they were on top of the world, flying. It was a romantic haven for young couples. It was also a popular spot for people who wanted to take cool photos.

In the distance, the sun had already set and darkness had set in, so the diners could not enjoy the alluring appearance of a vibrant horizon. However, Bonnie and Clyde did not care about the beauty and majesty of nature. 

Their eyes were glued on another high rise building across the town. It stood tall and proud, like a gem in the mud. It was their target of interest that would light up their love and commemorate their meeting. 

The light blue words 'Crystal Plaza' were emblazoned at the top, acting as a beacon. 

The Floating Pavilion was the perfect vantage point to see the wonders of their explosion. Bonnie and Clyde continued holding each other tightly as they saw their dream of creating the most beautiful explosions coming true. 

"Thank you. We have a feeling that it will be our best anniversary yet." Bonnie kissed Clyde's cheek. 

The hostess looked at the couple with unconcealed envy. It was difficult to find so much passion and devotion in modern relationships. She could only hope that she would find someone to love and love her as much as the two people seemed to love each other. 

It was only later in the evening that she would discover that the line between this kind of love and madness was thin. 

And she would see true love that transcended her imagination.
