As soon as the car was out of sight she looked at the phone number her father had given her earlier. She took out her a cell phone and dialled the number. Ring ring ring "Hello? Inspector Takahashi speaking. What can I do for you?" Said the voice on the other line.
"Hello this is Commander Hiwatari and I've just arrived at the scene. Can you alert the men at the front to let me through? Tell them to look for a girl with blue hair matching eyes and wearing glasses. That's me." She instructed the inspector.
"Understood, commander I'll let them know who you are." He replied then cut the connection.
Looks like things are going as smoothly as dad said they would. Now to get in and wait for Dark to appear so that at least I can see what he looks like. And if I can I might be able to capture him with no problems. She thought as she walked to the designated space she had told the inspector to send one of his men.
As she rounded the corner she spotted a policeman standing at attention. From the looks of him he must be a new recruit. At least it'll be easy to gain his trust, and he looks to be my age. Must've taken this as a part-time job. She thought to herself as she approached him.
"Commander Hiwatari it's a pleasure to meet you at last. I've heard a lot about you from your grandfather, and I look forward to working with you." He said while standing at attention and looking her right in the eye while speaking.
"It's nice to meet you as well. But when we're alone please call me Rin or Hiwatari I'm used to both. But if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"
"My name is Hatori Namikawa, and I took this as a part-time job. I am currently in middle school and I got this job as a recommendation from my uncle who was the inspector during the time your father worked with the police to catch Dark." He stated calmly.
"I see, at ease though. Well shall we join everyone else? I don't want to be absent when Dark appears." She told him while starting to walk towards the entrance but keeping to the shadows.
He ran to catch up with you and noticed how quite you were. She must not like to talk very much. But I heard that she already graduated college and university in less than ten months when she was six. That's pretty impressive, especially for a girl. But it's to be expected because she must've inherited it from her father who was the same. I just noticed but she's very cute and she has an impressive figure. He thought and suddenly became very jealous.
Hatori thought that hew would try to break this awkward silence. "So what school well you attending? We heard from your grandfather that you'll be going back to school to be with kids your own age." She looked at him and stopped walking.
"Yes I'll be attending the same school my father attended when he was my age. And yes the other key point is for me to socialize with others my age while keeping track of Dark." She told him with honesty in her voice.
"Really, well then I guess that mean's that we'll be attending the same school." He told her with a big smile.
"That's good but when I start please act as if you don't know me and just call me Hiwatari– san at school. Understand?' She told him with a stern voice.
"Yeah sure. No problem!" he told her and they continued to walk towards the scene.
"Inspector sir I've brought the Commander." Hatori told the Inspector while saluting him.
Great another kiss-up. At least the fun's going to start soon, and that way if I'm lucky I'll be able to ditch him. But I can't forget what dad told me. Rin thought as she watched as the inspector told Hatori to go back to his place.
Hatori saluted once more and ran to his post. "I'm sorry for the wait but it couldn't be helped. You see this is the week where we train potential police candidates. And Hatori's physical test was in the top ten. With you as number one obviously." He said trying to get on her good side.
"Thank you but I don't care about that what I want to know is what kind of security is set up. And what secondary measures you've taken." She told him with a look that said she didn't really care whether or not Dark got the artefact or not, but more likely what kind of security they had.
"Ah, no need to worry we have our top men watching the painting and these new recruits well come in handy." He tried to reassure her that they were already taking the necessary measures.
"It doesn't really matter besides of this I'm sure of: you're men are beyond incompetent, your security measures aren't good enough, and it was stupid to put trainees on this case. Do you even know what kind of training they have to go through just to take me down? As much as they would if they entered the military."
She told with no change of expression as she told him everything that was flawed. He just stood there and listened to her reasoning and deductions that were at hand and had to admit that she was right.
I can't believe this brat!! Even if she's right I can't just stand here and listen to her talk like this. But she is after all my commanding officer and my only way to getting promoted. he thought while turning his back on Rin.
It's almost time. Now where are you Dark? I'm waiting for you. Rin thought as she hid in the darkness of a pillar and waited for Dark to appear.
Five minutes later the power went out and she heard all the men running around in panic. And these guys are supposed to be officers? And know seeing them like this, it reminds me of a crowd of people in a haunted house. She thought smirking.
In the midst of the panic she noticed an officer that wasn't there before standing still and he was acting to calm. When the inspector told everyone to calm down and get the alarms turned off he noticed the officer that was standing still.
"Hey you!! What are you doing standing there?!" he yelled at the officer.
"I'm protecting the artefact so Dark won't get it sir." He replied in a calm voice with. "Good, stay where you are I'm going to turn off the alarms." "Yes sir." The officer saluted and waited until the coast was clear.
