Overshift

Light was on her way home, happy today shift is finally over! Reminiscing this day was weird! That is weirder then usual, she corrected herself mentally with a faint smile remembering her *daily duties* as a "member of guardian corps", beside usual morning patrol and monsters repelling often included *sidejobs* she would never think of and because of what she would often end up doing weirdest things! Like saving cats from the trees risking to break her neck in the process! or similar tasks regarding all possible pets and chores, even playing postman or worse! She try to complain about that once mentioning it to Amoda and how it seems citizens don't have any respect to their uniforms! and treat them as their servants expecting to do trivial chores! Amoda was just listening her in surprise amused and then just burst laughing answering in good humor "they are here to serve citizens" and "its their duty to be on service!" after all its all part of the job, Light try to argue complaining she never see psycoms doing anything like that, at what he asked with mischievous grin do you think they are favored more then we? Of course that was not the case, but if that's the price to pay for civilians to except them then,,, Light frowned she could not complain to that, it seems everyone was afraid even to avoid talking or looking at psycom forces, or to notice their presence even they were always hovering above their heads in their *fancy airships*, radiating that feeling on secrecy and urgency, even if any known danger was ancient history, she could not help but to ask what was their job anyway? Was that all just for show up? She was not to ambitious but during this crazy quests she sometimes envy them? curiosity make her wonder what's going on? Her gaze drifted up to Eden, maybe one day I will find out, just in that moment her eyes shifted back to the road before her noticing familiar silhouette progressing in her direction, she cursed herself mentally irritated by her own negligence for not noticing him earlier, "tall n blond with characteristic fashion style" how hard was he to miss? her hand flexed in tension, he was still in far distance but she could notice he look kind of pale? did he see me already? And there was something strange, his expression, Light realize he was not smiling? surprise n relief mix, maybe he didn't see me yet! She catch the straw and with one elegant turn on her heel hide herself behind the palm, moment she lean her back on it she realized how stupid and futile this attempt was, no way I can hide myself like this, of course he will see me! She closed her eyes preparing to endure teasing when he realize what she just did, wishing she could do the same with her ears so she would not had to listen his annoying "hi, sis!" talk, this day already wasted all her patience and last thing she need is to deal with him, part of her hoping he may not get it, regretting not having optical camouflage so she could turn invisible,

"Whoa! Are you alright?" She opened her eyes in surprise looking over her shoulder in voice direction; it seems Snow pass by without noticing her and bumped into his tall friend with even worse fashion style? Light mused staring at his hair style for a moment uncertain what to do? quickly glancing toward them, she didn't want to interfere, they were far enough so she was off their sight here, but is it safe to move of *her lil hideout* or not to push her luck too far?

"Eh,,, yeah,,, " Snow seems somehow out of place, with wry smile and his voice was different to kind of weak? Nothing like usual loud and cheerful, is he alright? Curiosity take over, she was almost tempted to approach them and ask what happened?! But that would be awkward so she kip quiet and waited patiently for air to clear out,

"Is Maqui home? I need to ask him something,"

"Yeah, all team is ready for your sign!" Other man confirmed with a thumb up and big grin all over his face,

"Here, tank is full just like you asked" tossing keys in Snow hand, and clasping his shoulders

"Don't worry about it! Nothing mach NORA!" Light rolled somehow she doubted this words, as far as she know that bunch of kids were nothing but trouble, What are they up to this time?

"Tnx, I may need to catch to Eden," Light gasped looking bewildered at Snow who answered her question, he was already jumping on his airbike and preparing to fly of, did she hear well?

"Eden?" her fist relax in tension hitting the palm she was hiding behind and move just in time to avoid be hit by a coconut? she catch it reflexively looking up, and consider to hit it on Snow but give up on that and toss it carefully on the ground as light on her wrist start pulsing green, she cover it with her palm, cursing mentally, it was her communicator, she set it on *silent mode* to avoid annoying *bip* sound and now it was flashing green! she had to answer it, cursing again troubled with this awkward situation she rolled noticing near flowerpots this will serve, she hunched behind it and take the route behind near corner, "yes?" when she finally answered her tone was calm but quiet, it was Radya, contrary to his "HOW WAS YOUR DAY?" loud as usual she rolled mentally, wondering is all chivalry so used to yell all the time?! And from all stupid questions?! And he had to call NOW?! But she compose reminding herself he was her superior in a way and take deep breath before answer as calmly as possible, "Usual. What do you want?" it was still bit of hostility in her voice and she regret it moment she hear it but he must notice it to as she hear him smile before answering "secret mission?" she rolled, he had to tease her, "maybe," answering humorlessly, after some more laughter he regain his serious tone and asked "any news regarding girl we talked earlier?" what,,, she was about to say something she would probably regret eventually but change her mind noticing his worried tone and expectation, "no, nothing," and adding quickly "I told you I will inform you moment I find out anything!", she did her best to hide her irritation, at his annoying behavior,

"ok,,," he replyed disappointed after some pause,

"Anything else?" she asked impatiently

"no, that would be all" he sound like he was about to say something more but change his mind adding quickly "please note me if you find anything!" with more cheerful tone,

"understood!" she confirmed and cut the line in relief, just in time to hear buzz over her head it was Snow on his motorbike and he was heading to Eden? Well I be damn if that punk decide to sign in for university! She didn't have time to think about it more when light on her wrist blink again it was orange, she answered reluctantly as it seems this day never ends, it was Amoda "report at station immediately we have code black!" black? Light roll over her memories searching for what would that be? she didn't remember hearing it? Moreover she doubt anyone ever hear it, it was probably long time that code was used,,, and before she get the chance to ask anything he cut the line, well,,, it seems I'm not going home for some time,,,, she concluded disappointed giving one sad look to her house before turning toward the station and her feet start walking in opposite direction, maybe if I do it quickly I will return home earlier? And with that smile return on her face and she start walking faster until she was running,
