Day: Teh heh... *playing with Ken's hair* Others: *blink* Aya: What's with her? Moon: We had a new fic idea, and we like it a lot *writes down some notes regarding said fic* Yohji: What pairing? Day: Telling would spoil ^__^ Brad: But people include the pairing in the warning. Moon: Hmmm, yes they do. We do too sometimes, but I think in this case it really would spoil. Schu: So we pretty much have to sit and wait. Day: Hai! Schu:.... well, that sucks. Moon: *rolls eyes* You won't die of it. Now quiet down so the viewers can read.
Infiltration having been complete for several months now, Bonny and I are at status quo, awaiting further orders. As I have stated before, again and again and again, the Kritiker databases are heavily protected by lots of coding, and I don't have that much free time to actually hack the computers, due to the cover provided by A51. Although I honestly think we could have learned more by infiltrating the managerial positions, like Manx or Birman. 'That won't work... I knew there was a reason I preferred to have Bonita write these reports,' he thought to himself. He sat in the dark of his bedroom, above the Koneko. He sighed to himself, deleting the contents of the screen. Mission Report: Kritiker Infiltration Infiltration has been complete for several months now. There has been no change in status for either Bonita or myself. My cover as an assassin provides little time for me to actually work on the many levels of coding protecting the Kritiker databases. As a result, I fear I may be rushed and sloppy in my work, leaving the results at a sub-par level. 'That's much better,' the assassin thought to himself, before continuing. It took a while to get to know my 'teammates' well, but it proved worth the effort. Through my personal observations of the other three members of Weiss, Kreuz, my assassin team, I have learned much about the types of people Kritiker recruits for their agents, and can now understand why Estet would think that Agent Wilson was one of their operatives. The figure reread what he had written, 'well, that covers my ass for not being able hack more information from the databases.' Attached are the newest files to update our records. Thank you, and have a nice day. The male smiled to himself, unable to resist adding that last bit. But they knew him well at A51 headquarters, and would probably expect something like that from him. Ah, well. Time for bed. ~*~*~ Manx stared at the four assassins in front of her, waiting for their reactions. Balinese was the first to respond. "No missions for an indefinite amount of time?" Yohji asked, incredulous, "What's wrong?" Manx sighed, "There've been hints that someone may or may not be trying to hack into Kritiker files. We investigated these hints, but have not been able to come up with any definite leads." "Why does that mean we get a vacation," asked Omi, perplexed. "We feel this unknown hacker has infiltrated Kritiker," explained Manx, "and as such, any and all information you may receive is suspect." "Infiltrated?!" exclaimed Ken, "Is that possible!?" "Yes," explained Manx, showing what Aya thought to be an infinite amount of patience, "Everything is possible if you put enough effort into it." "Yeah, but," began Ken, before Aya got fed up with the adorable brunette's disbelief. "Ken, get over it," the redhead said harshly, "Kritiker's been infiltrated. They'll find the responsible party, and then life will be business as usual." Ken subsided, knowing from experience when, and when not, to push Weiss's leader. Now was not the time. "Why does this affect us, though," asked Omi, "I mean, you bring us your information directly, so there's no chance of it being tampered with." "No chance after I receive it, Bombay," replied Manx, "but every chance before it gets to my desk. You guys are getting a vacation. Enjoy it." "Of course, Manx-san," said Yohji languidly, "We'll enjoy it very, very much." Manx glared at Yohji, "You four are getting a vacation. We at headquarters are not. Don't een try it." Yohji shrugged, "It was worth a try." The blonde stood up, "Anyway, I have plans to make." "Plans?" asked Omi. The elder Weiss member grinned, "Yeah, plans. I am not going to let an unexpected vacation go to waste." "Ah," said Aya, his eyes moving from the blonde playboy to where Ken was still sitting on the couch, "Well, it would be a shame to miss such an opportunity, now wouldn't it?" Ken glanced up at the tall redhead, "Why on earth are you encouraging him to go out and party? I mean, honestly, he goes out enough as it is, he doesn't need any encouragement." Omi raised his eyes heavenward, praying for patience. Ken was his best friend, but honestly, he could be so dense sometimes. Ken stretched, pushing himself to his feet, "Well, then I'm going to play some soccer. I'll be back for my shift." Aya frowned and watched the younger Weiss leave, turning back to Manx. "Do you have any idea how long this might take?" Manx shook her head. "Sorry Aya, since we still have to pinpoint the hacker, it could be anything between a week and months." ~*~*~ Yohji leaned back in his chair, yawning widely. He hated morning shifts, especially after long nights. And yesterday had been a long night. Sadly not long enough for Yohji to miss Aya. The redheaded leader of Weiss had still been awake, and very pissed when Yohji had come home drunk of his ass. That was the reason why he had to take the morning shift now instead of Ken. That was one thing that bugged Yohji immensely, the redhead's infatuation with the klutzy ex-soccer player. Yohji groaned and willed the Tylenol to kick in. Hangovers sucked, his only luck was that there was no mission tonight and it didn't seem like any would come up soon. Manx hadn't been back since she had left two weeks ago, and Yohji had to admit that it was getting a little boring in the Koneko. "You sure seem lost there, Balinese." Said a smooth voice right next to him and Yohji almost fell over with his chair. The blond man lowered his sunglasses and grinned up at the familiar redhead. "Well, hello there Manx. Long time no see." The woman ignored his comment and looked around. "Where are Ken and Aya?" "Most likely in their rooms." Answered Omi, finishing off restocking a shelf of seeds. Manx nodded. "Alright, go get them. I need to talk to all of you down in the mission room." Yohji frowned. "But Manx, the shop-" She shrugged. "Close it. It's Sunday after all." The blond assassin grinned. "I like that, now just explain that to Aya too okay?" ~*~*~ Soon all four of Weiss were assembled in the basement looking expectantly at Manx. The redhead on her side was just glaring at the guys making all except for Aya a bit nervous. The silence was deafening and then Manx spoke up. "Who of you is it?" The group blinked. That sure hadn't been what they had expected. "Sorry Manx, but... what are you talking about?" asked Yohji, looking confused. Manx sighed. "We found out who the hacker is." Omi's eyes widened. "Really? Who?" The woman looked at all four of them. "He's here, within Weiss." Silence once more filled the room as the four assassins tried to digest what Manx had just told them. Disbelief was clearly written in their faces and it was Yohji who cracked first in the end. "What do you mean, it's one of us!?" the playboy yelled, "How could it be one of us? Aya? I don't think so. Me? I know how to play solitaire. Ken? Excuse me, you know what Ken did to Omi's laptop-" "Hey!" the brunette protested. "Sorry, Kenken, but it's true. And Omi? Well, Omi could have, but I honestly doubt it." Manx narrowed her eyes at the blonde, "Well, our sources point to one of you in Weiss, and Omi is the most likely person to be able to do it." The hurt was evident in her voice, "I don't understand why, though. And, as there is no evidence of him actually getting into the system, Persia has decided to give you this mission anyway." "No way," protested Ken, "There is no way Omi could have done that! I mean, if somebody is skilled enough to hack into the files, couldn't they... I don't know... make it look like Omi did it?" Manx sighed and considered it, "It is possible, just highly unlikely. In any case, here is your mission data, boys. Review it like always." "One thing still bothers me, though," said Omi, getting over the shock of accusation. Manx signaled for him to go on, "If it is one of us, why trust us with a mission?" "Because," Manx sighed, "we feel we don't have any other teams capable of completing this mission and not getting killed." "Oh, jeez, thanks!" said Yohji sarcastically. "Just complete your mission, Balinese," said Manx, menacingly, "we'll handle the infiltrator." And her gaze rested on the youngest Weiss member. ~*~*~

Omi: Why did you stop?! Now everyone thinks I'm the hacker! Moon: Well, _maybe_ you are the hacker. Omi: Nonsense, I would know if I hack the files, which I didn't. And why should I backstab Kritiker? Moon: Cuz we make you? Day: And how would you know if you were the hacker if Moon and I haven't told you yet? Aya: Day..... that sentence is very confusing you are aware of that right. Day: ^_^ Thank you Aya. I do my best. Aya: *rolls eyes* Ken: What did I do to Omi's computer?? Moon: Well, you'll just have to wait and see ^__^ Who knows, we might explain it later Day: On to the next chapter!!! Weiss: *groan*
