A light gurgling broke his concentration as Makoto made her presence known to you at the counter. "Ohh. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you."
Hmmm...Athena is babysitting today. Not the best but she was in the rotation.
Just another day in paradise. All is right in the world.
Oh, that means bad things. You turned to look out the window. Nothing at the moment.

You sat on the Park bench and watched Makoto play around at the park. It was a nice autumn feeling. Despite the Earth being out alignment. It was a pleasant feeling.
"Excuse me are you Shinji Ikari?" A voice said as you positioned yourself to either rush him or shake his hand.
You nodded, "Who's asking? If your with one of the Foreign defence contractors, go to the main office instead of wasting my time." You moved and stood up against the man.
The man didn't look very intimidated, in fact he looked sad for you. "You don't like people, do you."
"I don't like people who ask for me and don't introduce themselves, it's rude." You responded, before offering a hand.
"Ryoji Kaji, I work for PSIA (Public Security Intelligence Agency) and am currently on loan to NERV's Cybernet war division." He said with a calm and steady voice.
NERV Cybernet, Ohh he means those Cyber-jacked assholes who are apart of NERV's internal security division.
You nodded. "Huh. So why are you talking to me, I'm just the Janitor."
"I know who you are Mandrake, your little probings into NERV America, have been noted by some powerful people." Kaji said quietly as if to emphasize a point.
You nodded preparing a round off before he can even notice you move, "Your point. Sir."
Kaji looked impressed by your poker face. "I'm just surprised you managed to do it during a scheduled Cyber attack drill, by professional contractors from the US Cyber Warfare division. I'm impressed you pulled it off."
Ahh...so the alibi you and Pritchard cooked up did bullshit people. "I have a feeling there is a point to all of this?"
Kaji laughed, "Well, just know that some people I know would like it very much if you continue digging into these things."
Ohh Shit..he was one of those theorists who didn't believe the whole story. Oh god...you aren't in trouble.
"Hmm. Enjoy the rest of your day Shinji Ikari, your doing a fine job raising her." He said as he walked away.
"What a peculiar man." You noted as you reupholstered your magnum.

*Bang* Just once...just once you wanted your father to love you like David did.

Carter and the others sighed. "You are a troubled young man,how is Makoto anyway?"
"She's three, and her smile is the world to me." You said as the men looked at eachother.
"Just forget about him, he doesn't deserve your love."Carter said as you raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Listen Shinji most of us had bad parents , and your lucky, you got sent away from that piece of shit by your own mother's last will. He's not your father, the only thing you have that belongs to him is your name, that's it. He didn't raise you, he didn't want to raise you , hence the minute he left you he stopped being your father."
"What's that supposed to mean?" You asked as you pondered.

"Good, now help with this power calculation." He said.
Shinji sighed. "What did NERV do to get the Chinese to start rioting?"
