Shotaro was leaned back in his seat behind his desk, his fedora placed over his face--giving off the illusion that he was unconscious--as his arms were folded and relaxed against his chest. The private detective was left grimacing at how there had been no cases as of recent. Without any cases to solve, not only was there nothing to do--but also this would impact him financially soon enough.
'Ah mou, and be she hitched or not Akiko wouldn't let me skip out on a payment...'
He shifted slightly in his seat.
'...I take it reminding her I'm a Kamen Rider wouldn't help either.'
He shifted again, this time a bit more aggressively--as if to depict frustration.
'...I really need a case...'

Rebecca parked the Chronoraider next to the Hardboilder. She smiled as she saw that the bike was here. So someone was here at least. Rebecca pulled off her helmet and slid it onto the handlebar of her bike. She replaced a newly acquired flat cap onto her head, sliding off her OTT shutter shades off.
She walked up to the door and swung the door open wide. Rebecca walked in, taking in the antique nature of everything in the office. It's like she had stepped back into the thirties. She was pretty sure she hadn't - this time. She saw a man laying back in his chair.
"Ah, there's the man I'm looking for" Rebecca said aloud.

Hearing the voice of a woman, Shotaro shot forward, propping himself upright as his fedora dropped from his face into an open hand that was ready to catch it. Shotaro saw the flat cap wearing woman standing there, making note she was foreign as he placed his fedora atop his head.
"The man you're looking for?" Shotaro made a bit of a slight smirk as he stood up from his desk, leaning against it slightly as he placed a hand on it.
"How can this hard-boiled detective be of service to you Miss..?" He slid a finger along the visor of his fedora, making an attempt to be cool.

Rebecca smiled, and pulled out her wallet. She displayed her investigator's licence. "I need a consult on a case. If your up for it..." Rebecca said.

Shotaro saw the license, his hand began to slide along the desk as he fell against it. "C-consult..?" He asked, rubbing his side in pain as he stood upright. "Well, of course I'm up for it--but what kind of case?"

"Your kind of case." Rebecca mined putting a Gaia Memory in her neck.

"..!" Shotaro perked up as he saw this.

Rebecca walked closer to the desk. "My client is looking for her missing sister." She pulled up a chair. "And as it turns out she - and several other college students - have been kidnapped by quote 'a rose with legs'. The good news is that he is targeting members of the same sorority, which only has one person left in it. He'll attempt to grab her try tonight." She brushed her hair out of her face, before continuing. "But Rosy is annoying to fight alone..."

"So in other words you'd rather my assistance in bringing the culprit in." Shotaro leaned against his desk again, arms folded across his chest. "Seeing as how you seem to already know who said-culprit is there's no need to hunt them down." He closed his eyes, taking a finger as he pinched his nose-bridge lightly.

"Well... not really." Rebecca sighed. "My best suspect has gotten kidnapped." She looked down slightly in shame. "I'm just relying on the fact that they get snatched up when they go into town."

"That so..?" Shotaro closed his eyes, he thought about what he knew from her so far. Normally he could relay the few important "key words" to his partner--but his partner was "out" for the time being. So Shotaro was on his own for this, "Well you've got my assistance on this though I hope you'll pay, right?" He glanced to her.

"Of course" Rebecca said, looking back up at Shoutaro. "I'll give you a cut of what I get. I'm more worried about finding this Dopant than anything else."

Shotaro cast his attention down towards Rebecca, "Well don't worry ma'am, I'll make sure we get him before anymore harm can be done." He tried to not smirk, seeming rather sure that he--or rather they--could get this Dopant dealt in. After all this was something Shotaro personally specialized in dealing with.

"Thanks for the help" Rebecca said. Rebecca explained the plan simply. Rebecca would follow the girl closely while Shoutaro would tail from a far. When the Rose Dopant appears, they would ambush him.
"Sound like a plan?"

"Sounds good to me." Shotaro only smiled.

"Good" Rebecca said, standing up. "I'll see you at the mall in a little bit then Mr. Hidari."
With that, Rebecca left the room. Though on her way out she did stop and stare at the radio. "Where do I find an old radio nowadays" she muttered under her breath. She then continued out the door.

Shotaro smiled a bit, his hands on his hips as he watched her walk out. "Well, I guess I better get myself ready then." He chuckled, speaking to himself as he let his eyes closed.
Shotaro would go to meet up at the mall with Rebecca as they had planned, though ready to keep his distance when necessary for the plan.

The plan was in motion an hour later. Rebecca follow behind the last girl on bike as she travelled to the mall. Once there, she posed as her friend. Rebecca was ready and waiting for Rose to show up.

Shotaro on the other hand was ready from a distance, ready for when their friend Rose showed themself. Shotaro would then be ready to spring into action with Rebecca.

They didn't have to wait long. After a few moments rose petal started to rain down from the roof. Rebecca had her watch at the ready, putting the girl behind her. A vine appeared from nowhere. Like a whip it destroyed a beam near Shoutaro. The owner of said Vine, the Rose Dopant, stood behind the detective.
