Chapter 1 Stolen cars
"hey," came a voice from down the hall getting closer and closer by each second as the door opened. "I'm the first this ti-"
"Nope not this time…" came a feminine voice when the first turned to face her with shock and anger battling in his eyes and a disappointed look took over his face. " I rule now!"
"ugh!" he said walking to his desk. "you Chiharu, will pay! I was about to get three days of being first in a row for work and I deserve having free coffee for a week!"
"oh, cool it now…" she said in a childish tone and "you'll get free coffee! But I think you have to pay for the first one so you can wake up soon!" she started laughing as soon as she finished her statement.
"oh, shut it your letting flies in!" he said in a disgusted voice.
"hay!" came yet another feminine voice " no one starts the fight without my presence Takashi!"
"-snort- oh ye, your right! What was the last time you won an argument again?" said Takashi.
"you-" she couldn't finish, because yet another voice came to hearing.
"Tomoyo-chan don't be mad!" he said in a comforting voice. "he's a goof!"
"Thanks Eriol-kun" said Tomoyo.
" I mean its not your fault you always lose in arguments!" Eriol said laughing with Takashi who just got what happened and high fived Eriol.
"they are both idiots, forget them talk business!" Chiharu said to Tomoyo who was glaring at Eriol and Takashi.
"ugh" she said looking away from Eriol and Takashi to face Chiharu. "Um, oh, our new member is coming in today. Well, now in fact."
She then went and leaned against Chiharu's desk and continued, "Li Syaoran, he knows:
A gun/bomb expert.
Material arts
Lip reading
And from the department his coming the say that he is smart
And Takashi he is also into computers."
" Great," Takashi said " so when do we quit?"
"what? You want to quit?" said Tomoyo with raised eyebrows.
" ye, well he has got the whole pact! What do you need us for?" he responded quickly.
"I'll fire you if needed!" Tomoyo said apparently tiered of his stupid jokes. "Plus, he's 20 which makes YOU look even older."
"What?" Takashi said in a terrified voice "I'm not old, I'm only 28-!"
"And ugly…" Tomoyo went on ignoring Takashi " Your 28, and you have neither children nor are married!"
" Oh, really?" Takashi said in a funny manner " How's the husband?"
"Oh at least I'm 25!" Tomoyo said smirking.
"Don't make me-" Takashi wanted to answer but there was a soft knock on the door that made him stop.
The door was gently opened and a really handsome, chocolate haired boy appeared.
"-ehem- um, excuse me, I'm Li Syaoran" He started saying as every one looked him up and down. (Girls were more caught in the charm though.) "I'm here to meet with miss Daidouji."
"Hi, I'm Tomoyo Daidouji" Tomoyo said walking towards him to shake his hand. " I'm the head of this department -Vital cases – and this is Takashi Yamazaki, Eriol Hiiragizawa and Chiharu Dimoni" (sorry I don't know her family name so I made it up. Sorry)She continued motioning to each person who she introduced.
"Hi" All Eriol, Takashi and Chiharu said together and bowed.
Syaoran in return nodded and also bowed.
"We have another member who is going to be a little late today due to the cold she caught, Kinomoto-"
Cut off again and this time because suddenly the door was harshly thrown open and a pink dash was skipped in hitting Syaoran's back so hard and was about to fall on the floor when Syaoran turned and took hold o f a really beautiful girl who had bumped into him so she wouldn't fall on the floor.
"-Sakura!" Tomoyo fininshed.
"Oh. Hi I… um… I'm really…really sorry!" Sakura said when she came to a normal pose.
Syaoran nodded in respond.
"Sakura-chan, Li-kun is our new member!" Chiharu said making every one jump because she hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Yes," Tomoyo started again. "and that is the office you share with Sakura" she said pointing to a glass walled room .
"Thank you" Syaoran said in his deep gentle voice and started walking towards his desk.
There was a weird silence in the room for a minute and suddenly everyone jumped up at the music of Tomoyo's mobile tone.
"Ohayou?" She said into the phone. "Oh…OK…they'll be down there right away!"
"Get in position! New case." Tomoyo said as soon as she hung up. "Found a body near the west forest under the bushes this morning. So we are on it."
Chiharu turned to her computer as Takashi went to get the file's description from Akito-san on the 15th floor and Eriol got on the phone.
Sakura also got up and seeing this Syaoran got ready to go too, and they both walked out as Sakura said "We'll keep in touch!"
And with that they were out.
?? Parking lot ??
"Our car is around the corner" Sakura said as she started walking towards the car they shared for work with Syaoran following. "Shall I drive?"
"As you wish!" Syaoran said politely.
"Oh, will you?" Sakura answered hesitantly. "I have been in this job for two years now but im still not good with dead bodies so can't consecrate on driving."
Syaoran nodded as he lipped into the driver's seat of a silver colored Ferrari and started the engine and they were off.
?? West forest ??
They pulled up in front of many police cars, ambulances and police officers and got out of the card and walked over to the yellow band around the area of the incident.
"Hi." Syaoran said with Sakura walking right behind him. " S.A Li and S.A Kinomoto"
he said showing the officer who stopped them his card.
"Oh, ye" said the officer "Mr. Shingh is waiting for you" he said showing the a man in the middle of his forties.
"Oh, Ms.Kinomoto and Mr. Li. Hi" He said walking towards them. "We found the body this morning and as Dr. Fou said he died last night near midnight shot in the chest by a 45 but he is going to give us more information by tomorrow…"
" And there are tire trails seen which is also being worked on and that's all we know by now." He finished just as the came to a stop almost 5 steps to the body when Mr. Shing's mobile rand and he excused himself and went.
Sakura's face was getting more purple , by each step they took closer to the body.
Syaoran felt someone hold his left arm really tightly and turned to see it was Sakura. Sick.
"Kinomoto-san, you better go wait in the car I'll take care of this." He said to Sakura who
had her head down.
She slowly moved her head and looked in Syaoran's amber eyes trying her best to remain calm and said "No, no I got it, I'm good."
Syaoran didn't say anything but kept staring in her eyes with a look that said : 'we both know your going to be sick if you stay here, so do us both a favor and stay in the car.'
"OK… OK…I'm going to stay in the car, I really do feel sick." She said running to the car. (To her relief).
Syaoran half sat down to take a closer look at the body and the situation. Not that he liked it. No way, he felt sick himself but he had to be there to help find the guilty part and…
As he was just sitting there examining the body, he felt someone tug on his right sleeve
He once more turned to see a little girl at the age of 3 looking in his eyes with her baby blues.
He suddenly hugged the baby girl and picked her up and ran as far as possible from the big hullabaloo and specially the body and put her down on her feet.
What else did he have to do? One look at the sight behind them with the dead body, police cars and all could make the girl suffer mentally till the rest of her life.
"What were you doing there? Who let you pass the yellow band?" He said politely with a tone of concern but really serious.
"I wanted to tell one of the policemen what I saw but everyone was busy so I passed the yellow ribbon and saw you and thought you might listen.!" The girl said with a light layer of water in her eyes. Somewhat hurt at Syaoran's action. And of course scared.
"What is your nam-" Syaoran stopped himself seeing the girl's watery eyes and scared look and started politely saying: "Oh, don't cry it's okay. Didn't you want to tell me what you saw?"
"I saw the men when they were going with their car! they had snakes." The girl said in a sweet but still scared voice.
"Oh, thank you for telling me this, it helps a lot" Syaoran said, still polite. "Now where is your mother?"
"Mama works in the university. She picks me up at 3." The girl answered now more scared as she said what she thought. " what if she doesn't find me?"
And that made her tears fall from her eyes and down her pink shaded cheeks.
"Now don't you be scared! Your strong!" he said strongly ,picking the girl up again, this time in no rush.
"Mama will find you. Don't you cry. OK? "He said in a baby-ish voice " If you cry I cry! Do you want me to cry?"
The girl moved her head from side to side sucking her thumb as Syaoran dried her tears with his thumb.
"OK. Now lets go and get something to eat and have some fun till your mama comes Ok?" Syaoran said walking slowly around the whole 'scene'-so the girl didn't see anything – towards the car.
"You didn't tell me your name!" He said yet in another kind of baby-ish voice.
"My name is Sana." She answered sweetly moving her thumb out a little to talk. "What is your name?"
"Syaoran." Syaoran answered. " Your name really nice."
" My mama chose it!" She said proudly. " Dada says I'm a lot like her."
"Wow, then she must be as strong as you are!" He said sounding surprised, Justas they reached the car.
He opened the back door and sat Sana down and fastened her seatbelt and that made Sakura jump up and turn to see who opened the door and found a little girl sitting at the back and at the same time the driver's seat opened and Syaoran slipped in.
"Ohayou!" Sakura said to Sana with a smile which Sana returned by also smiling and saying hi.
Then Sakura turned to Syaoran with a confused look on her face which Syaoran turned with yet another talking look that said : 'Tell you later'
And they took off to the office.
?? Parking lot ??
They entered the parking lot and parked the car in the same spot it was parked before and got out of the car and Syaoran opened the back seat and unfastened Sana's belt and picked her up bridal style as she just fell asleep.
" What happened?" Sakura asked looking at Sana, adoring her beauty.
"Nothing, I was looking at the body and she came up to me and said she saw them as they were going with there car and that they had snakes." Syaoran said in his always-except with children like Sana- dead serious/cold voice. "She said her mother works at the university and is going to pick her up at 3. so I'm going to call her mother to pick her up here since that place is no good for children."
"Oh, she is SOOOOOOO KAWAII!" Sakura said and couldn't help but laugh the sight.
"What are you laughing at?" Syaoran said. Cold confused. (lol)
"You look so KAWAII with Sana in your arms." She said between giggles. " You look like a really concerned father!"
Syaoran was shocked by the comment so all he could manage to do was raise only one eyebrow.
They got in the elevator and Sakura pressed the desired floor number which was 20 and the elevator started moving.
Sakura was trying to hold back giggles at the site Sayoran's fathery glows all the way up.
The elevator stopped on the 19th floor and a tall man came in and pressed the 25th floor and stood straight and said :
"Ohayou Kinomoto-chan, Ohayou" he said to both Sakura and Syaoran. "You must be the new member on the 20th floor. Am I right?"
"Yes, I'm Syaoran Li" he said and slightly bowed. Couldn't bow properly with Sana in his arms.
"I'm Yawashi Olami!" he said also bowing.
"Ohayou!" Sakura who wasn't keeping anymore giggles-she finally put a stop at the whole thing-finally answered.
" Li-kun, you have a beautiful daughter by the way!" Yawashi said just as the door of the elevator opened to the 20th floor.
Just when he finished saying 'way' Sakura couldn't help it any longer and started laughing all over again but this time really laughing as Syaoran's eyes widened big time.
"Thank you! Bu-" he wanted to say but had to go out because Sakura was already out due to her laughing SO much , so there was no time for explanation.
"Thank you" he said.
And he stepped out, the door closed and the elevator started moving up.
"TOLD YA!" Sakura said happily between giggles.
Syaoran just snorted and walked towards the office.
?? In the office ??
"Ohayou!" Sakura said when she and Syaoran entered the office.
"Ohayou!" Everyone said in unison looking up from their work and got wide eyed when the saw Syaoran holding the sleeping Sana in his arms and so were stopped from going back to work.
" WOW! Your daughter's cute!" Eriol said with his eyes as round as his glasses.
Sakura cracked up and Syaoran got red- he was fed up-.
"KAWAIIII!!!" Chiharu and Tomoyo said in unison.
"In your file it didn't say you were married let alone having such a kawaii baby"
Sakuracracked up even more. Syaoran a little more red.
"Told you, you make a kawaii father!" Sakura said between giggles.
"May be I am old after all!" Takashi said also wide eyed to which Chiharu, Eriol and Tomoyo responded by laughing. (Sakura and Syaoran weren't there when they had their morning conversation) (remember?)
"I am nor MARRIED neither do I have a baby and I am sure I am not at the age of being a kawaii father as Sakura may put it." Syaoran said in a scary voice. as he placed Sana on the black coach near them placing a coition under her head and took off his caot and civer her with it. "
"Now if your done with making fun of me I need to go and put this girl on the coach to sleep! She is going to me mad if she wakes up due to not having enough rest!" He continued whilst he placed Sana on the black coach near them placing a cautions under her head and took off his coat and covered her with it.
Every one stared at him each holding historic laughs into them.
Syaoran looked confiused but when he recalled what he said and done he was like:
"I give up!" he said putting both hands up.
That's all he said, 'I give up!"
Once more everyone cracked up as Syaoran shook his head.
"Ok, back to reality!" Tomoyo said getting serious to Syaoran's relief. "What did you find?"
