You are the best! Thanks for your amazing reviews guys, I'm sorry I can't reply them one by one. Here the next chapter for you. I revised this chapter and reupload it. Do not forget to read the author note in the end of the page.
The party was held on Jun Masao's place. Jun Masao was included in the list of 3 suspects as drug dealer. Haruka and Michiru would try to get as many information as they can tonight.
"I will handle the wives." Haruka said. They both still inside the car, preparing for the first mission.
"You can change the word 'handle' with 'flirt', I knew your intention." Michiru replied.
"What? Are you jealous?" The blonde shot back with mocking tone.
"No, I'm irritated. Oh, damn!" Michiru groaned. The zip on her back stucked while she put on the wire and the aquanette couldn't reach it.
"Need help?" Haruka was watching her, amused.
"No…" Michiru stubbornly refused but she gave up after hard struggle in several minutes.
"For Godsake! Yes! I need help! Just zip it back on." Michiru shifted on her seat, her back facing the blonde agent.
"What a way for asking help…" Haruka wanted Michiru to beg more.
"… please?" Michiru glared on the blonde.
"Do you have any idea how to approach Jun Masao? I heard he acts rather secretive with people." Haruka asked as she zipped the dress. She tried to control her eyes from looking more beneath those damn zips.
"He will approach me, after all he is the host." Michiru answered.
Haruka's eyebrow lifted, impressed with Michiru's confidence.
"What? You doubt me?" Michiru caught Haruka's expression on her through the rear mirror.
The blonde chuckled.
"No. I have one thing though."
Michiru turned to the blonde agent, she inspected Haruka would mock her.
"Let me handle the director." She continued.
"They know we can hear everything from here right?" Rei asked Mamoru who kept eating his potato chips. The guy only nodded and open some browsing page.
"Seriously, Mamoru… the mission's about to start!"
"I got it, I want to help Michiru facing this Jun Masao person. There's something in this guy…"
"So, you look it on google?" The raven haired girl rolled her eyes.
"Every resource would be great. Want some? I'm more worried about those two almost make out inside the car." He laughed hard. Rei blushed, Mamoru always exaggerated everything.
"They didn't…"
"I know, I know. How about a bet? I bet after this mission, they will make up and… more." Mamoru threw a chip to Rei's direction. Rei didn't seem interested with his idea.
"I think they will make up during the mission and more…" Rei grinned.
"It's on." Mamoru made high five with Rei.
The concept of the gathering night was more like a ball. The socialite interacted with each other through the dance floor. Each of them would exchange and paired with someone else constantly in the dance, so everyone would've known each other.
"You can dance?" Haruka wondered with the dance. So, rich people can dance.
"You will surprise." Michiru flashed a smile. Haruka knew the smile. The smile told everyone that she could do everything related dancing, even mentioning about the history itself centuries ago.
"Okay, Mrs. Tenoh, may I have this dance?"
Michiru sighed, she would keep up with Haruka's flirt – another way to mock her – for tonight. She extended her hand to Haruka which accepted it and kissed Michiru's wedding ring.
They both caught Jun Masao on the dance floor. He was dancing with a woman who Haruka didn't recognize.
"I see Jun but not the director." Michiru said,
"Guess he's too busy."
"Let's make a way through there." Michiru whispered. They changed steps and separated. Haruka ended up with a woman who just danced with Jun Masao and Michiru got Jun Masao.
"Hello, there." Haruka opened the conversation.
"I never see your face around here." The woman frowned, although she impressed with Haruka's lead on the dance.
"Are you sure?" The blonde gave her sweetest charming smile style.
"I won't forget faces like yours." She chuckled.
"Tenoh, Tenoh Haruka. I'm new in here, just moving today." Haruka replied, she wanted to find out more about the woman before her.
"Oh, the new neighbor! I'm Kaoru, Kaoru Tanaka. My house is about 3 houses from yours. My husband is over there." Kaoru pointed out the corner of the room with her chin. There stood an over weighted man having conversation with several men who looked like bodyguards.
"I see…" Haruka smiled.
"How about yours?" Kaoru asked curiously.
"Shoot, you find out about me." The blonde created a space for Kaoru to spin and fell into her arm perfectly.
"Everyone can guess it with this nice wedding ring around your finger." Kaoru entwined fingers with Haruka.
"Right." Haruka settled back and spotted Michiru in her left.
"Her?" Kaoru caught the hint. "She is wonderful."
Haruka shrugged, smiling. "You have no idea."
Meanwhile, the aquanette agent danced passing Haruka and Kaoru.
"Something's bothering you." The guy Michiru was dancing with, Jun Masao caught the frown forming on the beautiful face.
"Excuse me?" Michiru heard him, but she wanted to clarify whether it was statement or question.
"Don't worry, Kaoru is loyal to her husband. Yours is safe." He grinned. He actually had some humor style on him. Jun Masao was 'average' man in life. The typical face that easily mixed with others, however his attitude and clothes made him stand out.
"Trust me, there are lot of things bothering me but none of them about what you just implied." Michiru politely smiled.
He is sharp. Michiru thought. She wanted to know more about him. Unfortunately, while she ready to throw some questions, someone's phone went buzzing.
"Oh sorry, it's mine. I expect an important call tonight. If you would excuse me, mademoiselle…" He excused himself out of the dance floor. Michiru witnessed him until he disappeared outside.
3 seconds after Jun Masao left her, Haruka grabbed her arm and they both began to dance with quicker tempo.
Michiru looked at the blonde. "He accepted a call. I didn't get a chance to put the device on his phone. I get him though." She decreased the distance between herself and Haruka.
"You put it on him?"
"Yes, on his wristwatch. He said it was from his wife, and I think he wouldn't dispose the tracking device in the near future, wouldn't recognize it either." Michiru smiled.
"Let's celebrate it with grand closing." Haruka said.
"What do you have in mind?"
"This." Haruka gave a signal to Michiru to jump on her after the spin. Haruka caught the aquanette agent in time just few inches above the floor.
"Great." Haruka commented.
"The dance or me?"
"What do you think?" The blonde threw back the question. Mamoru cut them just when Michiru about to retaliate.
"You two, I hate it to ruin your romantic moment… but, Jun Masao is leaving." Mamoru shouted.
"Copy that." Michiru responded first, she exchanged glances with Haruka and they headed to the car.
"The coordinate shows he's heading straight to the south. If he keeps going, he will out of the town. Mamoru, can you look some places that may be his destination?" Haruka spoke over the phone.
"The data will come in any minute." Mamoru responded.
"I know what kind of places on the south of town." Clearly, Michiru didn't seem interested with the idea.
"There are many gambling sites, mob activities, crimes obviously everywhere in the night like this. However, I noticed something in Jun Masao while I danced with him." Michiru took a pen and a piece of paper form her purse.
"He got a tattoo like this on his palm." She drew a symbol that looked like M alphabet with some ornaments above.
"It possibly related with the place he headed to, because I felt his hand, and it's new. I saw his picture 6 months ago, and there's no tattoo. Maybe because of his wife." Michiru showed it to Haruka.
"His wife?"
"There are rumors going around about Jun and his wife having problems, but from my interaction with him tonight, this guy loves his wife deeply."
Haruka tried to piece back the puzzle without taking eyes off from the road.
"Mamoru, how about the data? Can you also search for places that have M symbol in it? Anything." The blonde turned on the monitor in the car. Mamoru's face appeared in the screen, Rei also accompanied him.
"Hi, Rei." Michiru greeted her friend. Rei became the aquanette's partner often, even before this mission, she and the raven haired girl had working various missions together.
"Hi, we got the data for you. I acknowledged the symbol." Rei took over the microphone.
"It's an exclusive bar. I'll send you the coordinate soon, hopefully your guess is right." The brunette winked before they ended the transmission.
"How friendly you both." Haruka's first comment wasn't connected with the coordinate at all. Michiru rolled her eyes, avoided to answer Haruka's mention.
After an hour driving, they arrived at the coordinate. Michiru was right, it's a bar and Jun Masao's car was parked nicely outside.
"Your gut's right. So, we don't have choice but go in, right?" Haruka took his gun and badge. From the look of the bar, she knew it will allow gun even drugs in. An illegal bar.
Michiru tore her dress around her lower leg so she could move freely. Haruka capable to see the strap on Michiru's thigh, revealing a '22 caliber gun and a pocket knife.
"You bring that all along?" The blonde actually did not really looking the gun.
"It's convenience this way." She shrugged and got out from the car followed by Haruka.
"I won't enter from the front passage, let's find another way in." Haruka spotted some men guarding the door.
"No, you get in first through that door. I have an idea." Michiru whispered.
"What kind of idea?" Although the blonde already knew what method Michiru will use.
"Distraction."
