Blue Moon - 10
They worked out together for awhile - or rather sporadically - if either wished to use a piece of equipment that required a spotter the other would take the position, sometimes switching afterwards. Other times they ended up using machines that were in the same vicinity. It was only during rest times that they talked, though; for a few minutes that is, then it was back to working out.
Up until he felt the burn in his muscles and had to stop. Gevanni glanced to the clock; it was past the time that Mikami usually left, he could only guess that him being here had effected his usual schedule.
"Well, it was nice meeting you." Though, it was usually just common courtesy to say such things, Gevanni meant it. For a lone wolf Mikami had been pleasant company for the time he was here. Perhaps he could actually start coming into the gym rather than sitting in the other room from now on. It would be a good enough excuse to be in Mikami's vicinity and shouldn't stir up any suspicion. For all Mikami knew he usually came here at night himself but had switched which nights he did so. "Good night."
Gevanni left the gym, feeling rather satisfied with the events of the night. He had been able to interact with Mikami, actually speak to him and get to know him a bit better than before. Plus there had been no plane of glass blocking his view; his perfect view.
Considering things it could have ended badly.
He let out a sigh after entering the locker room, opening his own and changing back into his usual attire. With a glance at the door, he closed his locker. Mikami must not be done with his last rep yet.
Well then, he would just follow him home in a few minutes.
Gevanni went back out into the hall, passing the receptionist on his way out and saying a quick good night to the lady before walking out of the building through the automatic doors. He walked across the parking lot for the gym, at the far end that belonged to a dark company building. His feet stopped moving though, upon not seeing his car in the shadows.
"Where..."
Had his car been hi-jacked? He supposed it would be easy since he purposely put it in a place where it wouldn't be noticed. In the dead of night it would be easy to go unseen while fiddling with the locks and then hot-wiring it.
No. He shouldn't jump to conclusions.
His gaze raised from where the handle of the car usually was, moving up to the wall, to the sign that was nailed there.
All cars will be towed after 10 o'clock.
What was the time? He glanced down to his watch; it read, ten seventeen. Mikami usually left fifteen minutes before ten though. So this rule had never been an issue before now. Gevanni sighed, feeling seriously tempted to go and bang his head on the wall in front of him. He should have known his luck would run out eventually.
A soft purr of an engine got louder as wheels crunched over loose gravel behind him in the parking lot; Gevanni turned around to see the car come to a halt close to where he stood. He instantly recognized it. How could he not? It was the same one he had been trailing for weeks now. It was Teru Mikami's car.
