Mikage: Hey guys, long time now see! I have been busy with missions and stuff... couldn't get back to ya. Life is busy busy busy.
Shiho: Sure you were... I bet you been playing video games.
Mikage: As always! Shiho-chan know my real plan -gave a fake smile-
Shiho: sigh.
Mikage: aren't you happy that this is the chapter that we finally meet?!
Shiho: no. I'm not.
Mikage: -heart broken-
Shiho: Onto the chapter...
Chapter 7: Shiho Miyano
I had an unexpected visitor today, waiting for me at my office room. It was the woman who introduced me to the organization. It was Chris Vineyard, also known as Vermouth.
She was comfortably sitting at my favorite chair, with her dirty legs on top of my desk.
"What do you want?" I knew my custom-made security was flawless, however it would seem that it wasn't good enough.
Vermouth chuckled.
"Is that how you treat your superior?"
I took out my gun that was hidden around my office bookshelves, and pointed directly towards Vermouth.
"I wish I could just kill you right here, right now…"
"why don't you try?" provoked Vermouth.
I didn't hesitate and quickly pulled the trigger.
Click. Click. No bullets came out.
I remembered that I had reloaded this gun just this morning, but somehow it seems that Vermouth already found this gun beforehand. I was somehow disappointed with the missed chance of killing her.
Vermouth chuckled again.
"Get to the point. What do you want?" I placed the empty loaded gun on the desk.
"I have a job for you…"
"Go on"
"I want you to go undercover to retrieve a special data that was stolen. Your mission is to retrieve the data and 'eliminate' the traitor"
"I see… why would give a killing job to a kid like me?" As I was referring to myself.
"That person is a long time member and knows most of the identity of our members, you are one of them newest and is unknown to him. He would not expect a child to go as an assassination job"
I personally did not want to kill someone, nor I have ever killed someone in my whole life. This would consider being my first killing job.
"I'll pass. Why don't you just disguise yourself? Since you're good at impersonating somebody else"
"I have another job to deal with. I thought you would be the best choice" smirked Vermouth.
I knew that Vermouth was lying. I knew that she wanted to see how I would deal with a mission that would assassinate the traitor.
"Fine. I'll go. What kind of data do I have to retrieve back?"
"Drug data"
"what kind of drug data?"
"You can ask more details to this person"
Vermouth handed me a piece of paper. I opened the paper. It had an address and the name of a person"
Shiho Miyano
Miyano. It was Akemi's sister's name.
"Fine." I took out a piece of lighter and began to burn the paper. I have already memorized the address of the place.
"So. Are you going to introduce me to this person?"
"Sorry. No can do. That girl isn't very fond of me. It better if you went alone. See you around."
Vermouth was about to leave, until she mentioned something else
"Ah. One more thing. If that traitor find out who you are. Bang!" Vermouth's hand was shaped as a gun and held it directly towards her own head.
Vermouth hummed, as she swiftly left the room.
I went to the address in which the paper had indicated. I arrived at a research building. It appeared to be a normal research building, but it somehow had the vibe that it was hiding a deep and dark secret.
I have already researched the layout and blueprint of research building. I was on my way to the sectionn where the organization was supervising.
I entered a room, where Shiho Miyano's office was supposed to be in, until there was something unexpected.
I saw two men dressed in black, and with a girl in a lab coat. It seemed that they were in an argument. I recognized the two men dressed in black at the incident during the time where Rena Mizunashi was at the warehouse. I remembered that the silvered hair man was referred to be as Gin, and the other was Vodka. The lab coat girl started to yell towards the silvered hair man, and was hesitating at the same time.
Gin noticed my presence and quickly turned into my direction and took out a gun.
"Who are you?" he questioned me
"Kouri Mikage. I was assigned by Vermouth to go undercover for this mission"
I noticed that Shiho Miyano shaken when I mentioned the name, Vermouth.
"Aniki. I don't trust this person. How can they sent someone so young to do an assassination mission" Vodka whispered to Gin.
Gin's gun was still pointed directly towards my head. I stayed strong and firmed on the ground.
"oy Gin! You better not mess my laboratory around!" Shiho shouted from the background.
I stared intentionally towards Gin.
"hmph! Fine." Gin handed me a cellphone. "My codename is Gin. Contact me for a daily report, everyday at 22:00. Do not fail to do so"
Gin left the room, with Vodka following behind.
After they left, Shiho fell onto her office chair, relieved. She let out a long sigh.
"That's right. Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you at the café, its nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself properly, my name is Kouri Mikage, just call me Mika" I extended my hand for a handshake, with a fake smile.
Shiho ignored me, as she turned around towards her computer and started her work.
I became pissed. She acted like an ignorant child in front of me.
"Ignoring me.. " I mumbled
I took a look around the laboratory. There were so many gadgets such as a microscope and other machines that I have never seen before.
I reached my hands towards a vial with a mysterious substance, before I could touch it. Shiho shouted. "Don't touch that!"
I was startled by her yelling.
"So… you were paying attention" I smirked.
Shiho began to blush a bit and resumed to her work. I went towards her and blankly watched her doing her work.
"What do you want?" questioned Shiho
"Ah. Sorry! I just wanted to ask you about the info on what kind of data that was stolen from here."
"Its classified information. I cannot tell you the details, but a scientist that used to work here stolen it"
"I see. Do you mind if you gave me some information on that person?"
"Here you go" Shiho quickly handed me a piece of paper with the biography of the person.
"That was quick"
Shiho returned back to her work.
She seemed to be a work-a-holic that made me wanted to fool around her.
I creped behind her, and yelled into her ear, She was stunned by surprised and fell onto the ground.
"What did you do that for?!" yelled Shiho.
I couldn't stop laughing. This was the first time that I have laughed this hard for a while, and it was very amusing.
"HEY!" yelled Shiho
"Haha.. sorry! Sorry! I didn't know you were the type to be scared like that"
Shiho sighed.
"I'm going back to work. Stop bothering me and go away. You got all the information you know"
"Ok. Then. I'll come back for a visit sometimes" I teased.
"Don't even bother" mumbled Shiho.
I chuckled. It has been a long time since I was delighted. Miyano Shiho, she kind of reminded a little bit of myself. I thought it would be fun to make fun of her. Akemi-san was right. I had a feeling that I would get along with her.
Mikage: haha...
Shiho: what is it?
Mikage: This is going to be fun! -smirk- see you around... Shiho-chan.
Shiho: Again... with that nickname. To be continued.
