While on the run from some men dressed in black, Asami Ashikawa runs up a flight of stairs on a nearby building and discovers the Kirishima Detective Agency.

George uses the tiny missiles to stop the men in black just as their boss arrives. Suddenly Asami seems very angry and it is revealed that the men in black's boss is none other than Asami's father, who had sent the men after her when he discovered Asami had run away from home.
