That's right. He got himself caught over pancakes.

[you know, when Minato puts it that way, it's pretty hilarious. Akira can't help but smile]

Since we knew he was lying, we figured he had ulterior motives. So we had Futaba bug his phone, and that's when we overheard him talking about his plan.

He planned on accompanying us on a mission, betraying us to the police at the end of it, and then killing me in the interrogation room in a staged suicide.

Obviously, we couldn't let that happen. We had to outsmart him.
