Life was dull.
It was boring.
Never truly exciting
I always wanted… wished for something to happen anything to make the dull days of my life seem less dull. I longed for adventure; I wanted something out of life… I wanted more and little did I know the adventure I so longed for was just around the corner and this adventure would change my life forever.
My life was pretty simple I worked a reasonable job that put money in my bank and food on my table, I worked for the police.
Unfortunately for me it wasn't the interesting part of police, with heart pumping chases and taking down of criminals, and locking them behind steel bars for life….the part of the police I wished to be in rather than being stuck behind the bars of a wooden desk filled with paperwork.
Yep instead of chasing down filthy criminals I worked in the office working day after day filling out paper work then sorting it for others. Not that sorting it for other was my job, but somehow there paper work would somehow need to be finished by me because they have something else going on.
I was one of the only females on the force, so I never got much respect from the males of the force, nope they just gave a 'charming' smile and placed there tall stack of papers on my desk before walking away….yep so much respect.
And if that wasn't enough they decided to constantly harass me, to be a 'darl' and get them a coffee…they should just get their own fucking coffee what am I their wife! I got so annoyed one time that I considered quitting the force. But I decided against it no matter how annoying things were around me I liked my job, and I hoped that I staying would maybe just maybe help me get on the real force to do what I had been dreaming of my entire life.
As of right now I sat at my desk reading aimlessly through the stacks of paper work that had been so rudely put on my desk by my boss who treated me like a secretary even though he already had one.
I wasn't even really taking in what I was reading but I just wanted to get through with it so I could go home on time and get away from the horrible place that I call a job.
The shuffling of feet quickly caught my attention, I looked up to see my boss talking with one of the superiors their voices were hush but I was able to pick up what they were saying.
(Conversation- Boss- Superior)
Well sources say that the Vongola have caught wind of the information that we have on the boxes
They what? How did that happen our security is the top in Japan?
Well they say the strongest of them was the one to crack it and get the information
Well then maybe we should move it, or at least take some precaution it's very important information if we lose that we may have no chance against the Vongola or the Milfiore
I realize this but what exactly we can do, we can't move it to another station…their sure to find out, and one of us can't hold it we will be the first place they look if it's not here.
That is true… you are right, so then what do we do if were not to keep it or transfer it?
(End of conversation)
At that I decided to stop listening to the conversation
The Vongola, thee Vongola, the most feared mafia in the world...what in the world was my branch getting them into that had the all-powerful Vongola involved.
At that point when I was caught within my thoughts their heads turned towards my their eyes burning into me making my attention snap back only to make eye contact that I knew would have severe consequences in the non to recent future.
It was then they started walking towards me, stepping closer and closer with each tick of the clock that rested above me.
Shit, what do I do, what do I they must know I listened to them I'm screwed I'm going to lose my job
They reached my desk and I braced myself for the words about to slip out of my boss's mouth
"Setsu Mihara, I believe we need to have a word with you" he began taking me by surprise as I had believed the first words that would leave his mouth where to be 'you're fired'. "I could not help but notice Setsu that you decided to eavesdrop on our conversation" he continued and I felt my whole body go stiff with fear…here it comes.
I braced myself waiting for him to continue but he didn't, I looked up only to find his eyes trailed down resting upon my figure clearly he was waiting for something…so I took the opportunity.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I promise I won't tell anyone, please don't fire me" I said my voice shaky my breath slightly uneven in panic.
"Well, I don't know, such an act is disrespectful, maybe you could make up for it by doing something important for me" he said looking down and me his eye tilted into his usual frown
"Yes, yes of course…what was it that you were needing me to sir" I said trying not to sound to desperate, they'd never let me live it down if he picked up just how desperate I was I'd probably have to do triple the work I do now.
I watched as he looked to the man next to him and whispered something into his ear, the man nodded in approval looking down at me a smirk gracing over his face making a shiver run down my spine.
My boss turned to me and smiled, I smiled in what I knew was awkwardly back.
"Well Miss Mihara it looks like it's your lucky day" he said giving me a smile that made a cold rush down my spine
And not the good type of rush
I watched as the man that was with my boss walk away coming back a minute late with a yellow file placing it on my desk, a large red stamp reading TOP SECRET was on its surface.
I looked up at them, a look of confusion clearly written on my features
"You are to keep this, you are not to let it out of your sight, is that clear Miss Mihara" the man whom I had not yet been given the pleasure of knowing the name of said, looking down at me with a sharp gaze.
I gave a light nod of my head in understanding, I grabbed the file placing it into my bag then after I was done I sat back up looking between the two men who stood in front of me.
"If you don't mind me asking what exactly this file is, and why it is important" I said my eyebrow rose into my hairline, wondering what I was getting myself into.
"If you were really paying attention to what we were saying then you would know that file is of the upmost importance, and is wanted by the Vongola" he said, pausing for a second before continuing "And if you're not stupid, you would know that file is not to be messed with" he said turning on his heel before making his way to the door on the other side of the office.
"Now if you'll excuse me" he said opening the door and letting himself out of the room
I heard my boss give a light chuckle
"Well you heard him, make sure nobody and I mean nobody Miss Mihara gets a hold of that file" he said his face turning into a frown obviously trying to be threatening
I gave him a glare of my own
"You do not need to worry yourself sir, I'm a very capable" I said my jaw tight
I hate this, they treat me like I'm some four year old, he gave a glare before he made his way out of the room.
Well it looks like I have quite a bit of work cut out for me
~A FEW HOURS LATER~
I picked up my bag swinging it around my shoulder
I looked at the clock it was 9:30, it was later than the usual time that I left work but that was probably because of the whole fiasco earlier with the file not to mention the stack of papers that my boss so kindly put on my desk.
Stupid man, no respect for those around him
The sound of my heels clicking against the tiled floors was the only sound in the building as I finally made my way out of this prison.
Finally I get to go home, get some rest. I opened the glass doors the cool night air blowing through my black tresses
I looked up into the sky the full moon glowing giving the night an ominous glow along the streets and trees, I gave a light smile shaking my head dismissing the thick feeling the in the air as I started making my way home along the sidewalk.
I looked down at my bag, the yellow envelope standing out against the dark material of my hand bag
I wonder what's inside it, they said something about boxes but what is that?
I shook my head, I had to stop thinking about it if they found out that I looked what was inside I'm sure that I would lose my job and I really don't need that right now
The sound of a bush rustling caught my attention
What was that?
I looked over to the bush in question, shaking my head. It's probably just the wind or a cat or something, yeah that's it and anyway it's not like the Vongola would know that I have the file, I mean I just got the god damn thing.
The bush rustled once again making me jump slightly and my heart beat against my rib cage; I looked behind my back the bush now standing still only its leaves blowing softly in the breeze
The sound of footsteps now grabbing my attention
"Who's there" I said my voice shaking a little
I got no answer; instead a metal object was hit against my neck
Crap…
And then I felt myself falling to the ground the last thing I saw was a tall dark figure
And then
Darkness….
