She admitted, he was quite a good dancer, but she wanted to continue her search as fast as possible. She kept keeping an eye on her surroundings, when she thought the purple head wasn't looking.

"You really need to relax some more." He suddenly said, making her turn her attention back on him. She narrowed her eyes "I'm terribly sorry, but I have important business to attend to." She said, not too friendly. The man chuckled "What business could that be?"

"No business of yours, so stop asking." She grumbled and was relieved when the music stopped. She pulled away from him "Thank you for the dance and the drink, but really I must go now."

He smiled "Maybe we'll see again."

"I hope not." She huffed and walked away with her nose in the air. When she reached the table from earlier, all men around it were gone, she cursed under her breath "Dammit... because of him I didn't find that boss." She grumbled. She asked a man if he knew where those men had disappeared to, but he didn't know.

In defeat she retreated homewards. She had missed a great opportunity to find out something about the biggest man in the underworld and she had been distracted by some handsome purple head. She sighed "What will Gilliam say when I tell him that I couldn't find out anything?" she mumbled.

Gilliam of course was disappointed when she appeared at work the next day. He sighed "What ever am I gonna do with you? I told you it was an important task Rosette." He said and looked up at the embarrassed girl. He let out another sigh "Fine, you're lucky you can get another chance," he mumbled and reached some pieces of paper out to her "We found out that there'll be a party on this luxury yacht. All "Big" men will be there, and you will too."

Rosette grinned "I will not disappoint you this time."

Before she could go out, he told her "We believe that someone is going to get killed that evening... we believe that that Mafioso will be behind it. I hope you understand me, this is your last chance."

Rosette nodded, a determined look in her eyes "You can count on me!" she growled and marched out of the office, slamming the door as she did so. Gilliam once again felt an upcoming headache.

The blonde was sitting in her apartment, looking through the papers "A big ship called... Majestic..." she mumbled "Sounds very expensive... I guess I'll have to find a fancy dress again." A grin started spreading on her face. She got up, grabbed her coat and stepped out of the door "Time for shopping~"

It was a beautiful warm evening. The party was at its fullest when she arrived after a long time of searching. She paid the cab and walked towards the party boat. She smiled "Wauw..." she whispered. The whole ship was full of lights and fancy clad people.

There was a guard at the ship, but fortunately it was big Al. She smirked "Hello there Al." she cooed. Al grimaced "You again? Fine... enter."

She grinned toothily "Thank you big boy!" and walked straight passed him.

There was full of people. She recognized a couple of men from the bar, but none of them looked like a Mafia boss to her. She sighed "This is going to be difficult... according to the information papers, a guy named Slasher will be the next victim." she grumbled and stepped through the crowd. She was wearing a purple dress this time, which got slightly darker in colour at the bottom. She had her hair pulled up into a high ponytail and wore a fake diamond necklace around her neck.

"This is too crowded for me!" she growled and pushed herself through the many guests, until she reached the banister. She stood with her back to it and watched the others with a pout "I'm never gonna find that guy here..."

"Find who?"

She spun to her right and saw none other than the same purple haired guy from last time. She sighed "What are you doing here?"

"Partying?" he grinned and held up the glass of wine he had in his hand. She smacked her forehead "I can see that doofus."

"Okay." He smiled and leaned against the banister as well. She leaned back too and continued her search. After a while of silence, he cleared his throat "So... looking for someone? Maybe I could help you."

She looked up at him "I am looking for a special man, but I don't need help." She told him.

"A special man?" he repeated curiously "The man in your life?"

"Gah, no... not the man in my life dummy." She snapped. He grinned "Could have been." His eyes got caught on two men walking by him. A dark shadow seemed to sweep into his eyes for a second, but as soon as it had appeared, it disappeared again. He turned to Rosette "I'm sorry, but I have to leave. Enjoy your evening, maybe we'll see again."

"Be on your way already." She huffed and saw him leave with a smile.

Through the evening she found out, that the man she was looking for was a smuggler of antiques and other rare things, also weapons. He had a strong connection to the Mafia gang called "The Sinners" nobody knew who the head of that gang was though. Nobody had ever seen him or found out anything about him. They knew that his head quarter was in New York somewhere though.

"Oh yeah, that was helpful." The blonde grumbled "Somewhere in New York..."

BLAM

She reeled back as the sound of a shot went off not far away. She started running in the direction the shot had come from and found the dead body of no one other than Slasher. She crouched down next to him, but there was nothing she could do "He's dead." She muttered and then cursed.

The police appeared soon after to take care of the body.

When she stood on solid ground in front of the boat she wrote down what she had found out "The Sinners... Head quarter somewhere in New York..." she sighed "I have to find it..."

"I could help you." a familiar voice said from behind her. She turned around and saw the same purple head from earlier. She narrowed her eyes "You mean you know where it is?"

He nodded "Sure, come on, let me give you a ride there." He started walking towards a black car which stood not far away. She smirked "I am lucky." She whispered.

When they were in the car, she found that the guy had a driver. She sat quietly on the backseat, while he sat next to her, each looking out the windows. After a while he broke the silence "What do you want there?" he asked.

"Want where?"

"By the Sinners." He said.

"Oh, well..." she thought for a few seconds "I need the money."

He chuckled "Don't we all... by the way... I never did catch your name."

"My name is Rose, let's stay with that." She answered shortly. He grabbed her hand with a smile and kissed it "Enchanted. My name is Chrno."

"An unusual name." she commented.

Chrno laughed "I know, but when you think about it... all names in this business are quite strange."

"Yeah, I guess you're right... so? What do you do?"

Chrno grinned "I own a chain of restaurants and stuff." He told her "I am very rich."

"Show off." She grumbled, making him laugh again "It's true." He assured her. Rosette turned narrowed eyes on him "I can tell by that, that you aren't a simple jump and run boy then?"

"No? I am not."

The car stopped at a big mansion. She smirked "Now I'll just have to stay here long enough to snoop around and find some evidence," a smirk found its way over her features "And then I just have to plant some bugs here and there and my work is done."
