"-I don't know where Li is, I swear! The last time I saw him was-"
It's bothersome.
"Boss had the most trust in Captain Li, what the hell do you mean? He went to building 4, it's obvious he escaped in that time, you bastard! You're in charge of building 4!"
"Hah. Haha. Hahahahahahaha!"
The silence continued after between Aiz, Rue, and me.
"Just let the bitch run around for a bit Rue. It doesn't matter anyway."
"But boss, Aiz might have been an accomplice-"
"I said, let. The. Bitch. Run. Around. He's going to get caught anyways. Send out Hinami to snatch him back."
"Captain Hinami is currently at Japan, Tokyo, to negotiate with Merushi-san."
"Then send out K-zen."
"Understood. What should we do with Aiz?"
Kill him.
Just kidding.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
The sun was up to the tip of the two mountains in front of the balcony, and Nero woke me up as her sheer black fur bristled against my face.
What was my schedule for today again? Ah right, I need to visit New York's...Who was it again? Mr...Mr...Mr. Ken?
I flipped through my leather notebook to check the backgrounds I wrote down.
"Mezuwa Kenashi. Age 48, re-married to Kiyoko Sawagiri. Head of the Kenashi family and the Kenashi industry. Develops and launches various products for all ages. Their most famous works are, beauty items, electrical devices, toys, and more."
The Kenashi family...What do they want from us, suddenly giving me a direct email from Mezuwa Kenashi?
Hm?
"-Has one son, name is...Haru Kenashi."
Age, 20...Same age as me.
Brrrr...Brrrrr...BRRR
An unknown number was calling on my phone. How unusual.
"Yes, Kazia speaking."
"Hey Kazia, how's it going on in New York?"
"Ah, K-zen. Strange, I thought you were at our base, too."
"I was until you ordered me to bring back this scrawny mouse. He ran away, unfortunately, by sneaking inside a ship an hour before we could get his location."
"Where did he run off to?"
"Not sure, the direction was west from England's biggest harbor, a huge container ship. The place where it came from was... The Kenashi industry."
"Ever heard of that place, K-zen?"
"Of course! I've been living in New York my whole life! The Kenashi family were originally from Japan but they further launched their products in New York, they're probably richer than the president! Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. The head of the Kenashi family wants to discuss some matters with me."
"Oh, that's awesom-Wait what? With us, the Illion? You didn't tell me this! I should've known this and this should've been reported to me before you even got the information!"
"He personally contacted me. I told Rue."
"Wait you told Rue but not me? How cou-"
Beep.
So annoying.
I grabbed my outwear for today and decided to go with red. I like things monochrome, nothing stands out but stand out as a whole.
I stepped out of the door after changing. I didn't put any makeup nor accessories except for my earrings.
"See you later Nero."
As I headed out the door, my phone started to ring yet once again.
Brrr...Brrr...Brr-
"What is it now, Rue?"
"Boss, you're not going alone right?"
"I'm going alone, bye."
Beep.
Brrr...Brrr...Brr-
"...What?"
"Boss, I'm on my way to pick you up. At least let me drop you off there, you don't have a driver's license."
"I couldn't have realized that. Where are you right now?"
"Can you see me, boss?"
"Yes, I certainly can. Would you mind stepping out of the car for a moment? I need to check something."
I walked towards the car as Rue stepped out of the car. I told him to back off, which, he did.
"Boss, what are you-"
I hopped into the car's driver seat and locked the door on him.
"Boss?! BOSS!"
"Thanks, Rue, bye."
Well, shit. I don't know how to drive but I'm going alone. There's something off about the Kenashi family.
I'm not sure how I made the car move but Rue was still in the parking lot of my house, crying and begging me to come back.
Sorry, Rue.
I drove out of the parking lot as fast as I could and looked over to the car navigation.
"Let's see, the Kenashi industry...Ah, found it."
"BOSS! You can't do this to me! I'm the one who will get punished the most! Boss! Please wai-"
Rue's noisy voice went away as I slowly started to drive off.
Now let's see, the Kenshi industry...Found it. It was pretty easy to find. It was actually very closeby; turn left and go straight.
Not a moment after I drove off to turn to the left, had I made a mistake.
I didn't see the left side of the road and turned left. And bam! I bumped into a white sports car that looked overly expensive. I walked out of Rue's smoky car and knocked on the window of the other one.
Knock knock.
The window opened as the person inside the car glanced at me right back.
"Oh my, I wasn't expecting a woman to hit on my car like a reckless horse."
"And a good day to you sir. This was my first-time driving you see."
"I see. Well, my car seems alright but what about yours? It looks like it's about to explode."
"I guess I'll have to call Rue after all..." I muttered to myself as the man inside the car opened the door and went outside.
Whoa, he's tall. About 6'5? medium length, pure black, curly blow-dried hair. I sure didn't expect him to be so young.
"Why don't I drop you off of where you're headed? I'm not that dangerous."
I was hesitant for a moment.
"BOSS? IS T-THAT-Y-YOU? BOSS! IT'S RUE!" Rue was turning the corners as we spoke, breathing heavily as if he had just run a mile.
"Oh shit. You're driving."
"Is that your...stalker?"
"Oh no, he's just, the owner of this car."
"Oh, so you stole this car."
"If you say that again I will put up every last one of these pocky sticks into your nose. I don't steal." I held up the pocky box inside my bag and went closer in on him.
"Okay, I get it. Ms...?"
"Kazia. And you?"
"Haru."
Hm?
I mean, sure there would be a lot of Haru's around here, right?
"Is your last name by chance..."
"Kenashi, yes. My, my, I'm surprised you know it."
What. The. Fuck.
"Aren't you getting in Ms. Kazia? The stalker is about to catch up to you."
