re-cap time!
"Sure, but how come your not eating all your food?" Mai just shrugged, "I had a large lunch. Don't worry about it ok?" Soon enough Mai emptied her plates into the bin and washed her dishes before going into the bathroom. Soon enough Ami heared the shower running, When she quickly got up and looked threw the cupboards of her sisters apartment. There wasn't much food in, a few fruit, bag of rice. Even a few biscuits. More than anything else, Energy drinks and bottled water.
" I wonder..."
Chapter 3
Over the next couple of days, Ami-chan had been settling in nicely she had even switched schools so it was closer to her new home. Mai had spent most of her time taking care of Ami, surfing for a new job or a second part time job while trying to manage her studies.
It was a friday morning, the sun was blaring in the sky, Mai was wearing a pair of skinny blue jeans with her orange and white checkered shirt. She entered the kitchen and kissed Ami on the forehead, " 2 day weekend after today, your lucky! How you going to spend it?" Ami looked up to her brunette sister, " hmmm i'm not sure, might go to the mall or something. That boss of yours Shibuya isn't working you too hard is he? Your looking really exhausted."
Mai shook her head as she filled up a porcerline cup of hot roasted black coffee, " Nah, the office is alright, i've just been trying to find a new job. He pays well just, i want to be able to have extra money for you." sitting down with just a apple, Mai bit into it, " Are you going to have more than just an apple?"
Mai raised her eye brow, "Nah, i'll take a breakfast bar to work though and have a sandwich there also. Don't worry about me, just keep focused on your studies kay?"
Once their little talk that morning was over They went there seprate ways, to school/work.
Mai reached the SPR Office in just under 15 minutes. Straight as she walked in, she heared the words faintly but knew Naru was wanting his Tea, So as soon as she placed her bag on her desk she went straight to the kitchen, " Lin? want some Tea?"
The older chinese man just gave her a simple nod as she brought out 3 cups. An quickly made the hot drinks. After the kettle boiled and they was made, she placed each of the cups on a tray, and headed to Lins office first.
" Thank you Mai," he never even looked up to her from the laptop, that placed a small smile on her face, "your welcome Lin, just call me if you need anything." He nodded and she went to the next room. Giving her signature knock and walked in she placed the hot tea in front of Naru, " Mai, i want you to get a few papers ready, we have a possible client in 30 minutes."
She stood there waiting for the 2 magical words she wished to hear from him, but he looked up to her "You can go now" Giving out a flustration sigh she just walked out of the office. "that Narrsassit Tea-loving Jerk." Sitting down at her desk and taking a sip of her hot black liquid, She soon began to wake up. 30 minutes had passed quite quickly.
The door bell rang and a woman in her mid 30's walked in, Mai stood up and walked over to the woman, "Good morning, welcome to Shibuya Phsyic Research." The woman bowed to Mai " good morning, My names Rena Huuga. I'm here in need of your help please"
Mai offered her a seat and went straight into the kitchen to make the woman Tea as Naru came out of the office, He noticed her eyes Mai had not been sleeping well. Shaking his head slightly he went straight to the client. "Hello , my name is Kazuya Shibuya. Now can you tell me exactly what paranormal activity you have been experiancing?"
Mai brought back the tea for the woman and Lin was now sat there with his laptop ready to take notes. "Well i just moved into my new house around 2 months ago, Things was fine at first but after a week furniture would start to move around. At the time i thought it was my husband trying to play a trick on me but when he denied it things began getting worse. We would have large tempurature drops in some rooms, Especially my daughters, knifes have been flying across the room. Blood on the walls saying ' she belongs to me,' My daughter has even had a few bruises come out of no where. I'm really scared and worried for her saftey please Mr. shibuya help me..." the woman had bowed her head.
Naru looked the woman over, and then looked to mai, "We will take the case. Please have a large room with an afficiant amount of electrical plugs at bay, Also 2 seperate rooms for us to sleep. We will arrive tomorrow morning at 11 PM please leave your details with my assistant." the woman looked releaved and almost began crying when Naru accepted the case, "Thank you, thank you so much!" Naru stood up and bowed "If you please excuse me i have to get things ready to bring tomorrow." With that Naru took his leave, Mai took down the womans details and smiled to her, " We will do everything we can to help you ,"
Rena smiled " i appreciate it, i will see you tomorrow at 11, Thank you so much." And the woman also took her leave, Mai ran a hand threw her long brown hair, 'great before i can even get someone i know to ask if they can look after Ami while i go on cases, we get a case! theres not much time...' Mai went into Naru's office, " Naru... " He looked up to her, " Call everyone and inform them about the case and to be here at 9.30am sharp."
" Naru, i need to ask you if ... Ami can come with us, i don't have anyone i know to look after her in this such short notice, I promise she will behave!" Naru raised his eye brow, " i'm not a charity..." Mai slammed her hand on his desk, he could tell she was shaking and could tell she was quite pale, "Naru please! She's only 11, i'm not leaving her on her own!"
"Fine, but she is your responsability and yours only!" Mai gave out a sigh of releaf nodding, "thank you.." she began to walk out of the office to give the SPR Members a call. When Naru stopped her "Oh and you should eat something, Your looking rather pale, Skipping breakfast is a bad thing."
Mai just nodded "thank you for your concern, i had a large breakfast this morning so i will be ok," With that she left the office, he was quite confused, if she had a large breakfast she would be full in spirit not shaking like she was going to snap.
Naru called Lin into the office, " Lin, I want you to keep an extra close on Mai this case, She's hiding something and i'm not liking it..."
