Lila: Alright people I've got a few brief moments to spare so I must choose
a story to update. (I only had time for one). Since it has been so long I'm
going to update "behind all the masks". It was finally starting to develop
a plot. The only problem is that I can't remember what I wrote.
Joey: You were about to make me the dashing secret agent that was going to infiltrate the pool area and uncover the attacker that bombarded defenseless Kaiba.
Lila: OH THAT"S RIGHT! I was just about to make you go in the poolroom and make a complete goon of yourself.
Joey: You what?
Lila: On with the story!
PS: I don't own anything so leave me alone!
BEHIND ALL THE MASKS
CHAPTER 15
Joey walked into the change room for a moment and pulled off his clothes. He'd wanted to go for a swim the whole time. Tristan found it sad that Joey had worn the swim trunks under his pants. Joey placed his clothes in a locker and walked out the pool. The man was still sitting in the hot tub. Joey took a deep breath. He was getting rather nervous now. He walked over to the side of the hot tub and slipped in. He gasped at the sensation of the hot water against his skin and slid deep into the water.
"You're a business man aren't you?" The man in the hot tub asked.
"What makes you say that?" Joey asked.
"Only a true business man would have that many tense muscles to enjoy the water." The man said.
"You pinned me right." Joey said. Actually he was a construction worker as of right now but he figured that was a business and he was technically a man. Business + Man = businessman. TA DAA!
"What company do you work for?" The man asked.
Joey had no idea what to say. He guessed he should try to sound professional. Translation: Lie till he was blue in the face.
"Um. I'm in the stock market." Joey said.
"Really?" The man said. He ran his hand through his thick chestnut hair. "That's a very stressful job I hear now a days. Any tips for someone like me?" He asked.
Joey groaned on the inside. How does Mika do this? "Stay away from wheat shares." He said. He winced out of fear that his plan would back fire.
Fortunately the man seem to know about as much about the market as he did. "Thanks for the tip." He said and leaned back on the side of the hot tub.
Some muffled barking drew Joey's attention. It was the dog outside. "He's a butte ain't he?" The man said.
Joey turned back to the man. "Yeah. The pit bull's yours?" Joey asked.
The man nodded proudly. "Brutes is about 4 years old now and as tough as bricks." Joey hated pit bulls. "I love pit bulls." He said.
"They are great dogs. Vicious killers though." The man commented.
Like owner like pet Joey thought. Joey turned to the man with a smile. "It's been great talking to you but I really must get back to my hotel room. I've got a busy day tomorrow." He said.
"You got a little misses with you eh?" The man grinned.
Joey took a moment to realize what he meant. "Oh.. Uh...Yeah. Ball and chain.you know how it is." He said.
"Fortunately I don't. Free is the life for me." The man said. "I didn't even get your name." The man said.
"It's.um.Keith." Joey said. "Keith Simmons."
"Let's have drinks sometime Keith." The man said. "My name is Edward Baines by the way."
"Drinks? Sure thing. Take care Baines." Joey said and walked back to the change room. He walked in. "Smooth like ice." He complimented himself on the great job. He got changed and walked around the room. "Edward Baines. Edward Baines." He repeated over and over looking for something that belonged to him. He found nothing though. He then got another idea. He didn't want to have to do it. But maybe if he did he could score a date with Mika. He walked out of the change room and into the hall just outside the pool. He heard the familiar growls and turned to the dog.
"Shadup!" Joey told the dog but it continued to growl. Joey pulled out the felt and looked from it to the dog. "There has to be an easier way." He told himself. He couldn't think of one. Joey walked up to the dog and it growled even louder. "Gah!" Joey said trying to protect his hand from the dog's big jaws. How else was he going to do this. Joey tried sweet-talking the dog. "Here boy. That's a good dog. You'll let me give your cute head a pat won't you?" He asked. The dog growled and snapped his jaws at Joey. "Stupid Mutt." Joey said.
Just then, Joey noticed a young boy trotting down the hall towards the pool. He had a hamburger in his little grubby fist and was happily eating away at it. "Hey Kiddo." Joey said. The kid stopped near Joey. "Hiya Mister. Cool Dog!" He said.
"Yeah! His name is Brutes. Say kid. Where'd you get the hamburger?" Joey asked.
"I got it from my mom. She ordered it on the phone." He said.
Joey knew he didn't have time for that. "I'll give you 5 bucks for that hamburger." Joey said.
"No way mister. I'm hungry and this hamburger is really good." He said. He took another bite.
"Please? It's for my dog. He's REALLY HUNGRY." Joey said. How pathetic. Why was he begging a kid. He'd better get a date with Mika for this.
The kid wiped his nose on his arm for a moment. "Tell you what." He said. "You give me twenty dollars for it."
"TWENTY DOLLARS!" Joey shouted. "That's robbery! You've already ate most of it!" Joey cried.
"Take it or leave it." The kid said.
Joey grumbled to himself and leafed through his wallet. "Stupid kid takin' all my money.no good rotten.. Lousy hamburger." He handed the money to the kid and took the remains of the burger.
"So long sucker!" The kid said and took of.
Joey stood for a moment. "You know.. I was feeling a little guilty but know I'm glad I just gave him Monopoly Money." Joey had been relieved that he hadn't cleaned his wallet out in ages and just happed to have the board game money in his wallet. He'd probably put it in there to try and impress the college girls even though he was dirt poor. Well.desperate times call for desperate measures.
Joey returned his attention to the dog and began to advance on it. Brutes growled at Joey again. "Here boy." Joey said waving the food at the dog. "Yummy 5 star hotel hamburger. Yum!" He said. This did win the dog over and the dog took the burger from Joey. " Good boy!" Joey said. He patted the dog on the head and placed the felt under his collar.
"Mission complete!" He said and walked up to Mika and Seto's room.
Mean while out on the docks...
Tristan and Duke sat in the van waiting patiently for the contact as the man had instructed on the phone.
"I'm getting creeped out by this place." Tristan said.
"It's not so bad." Duke said.
"You really think you stand a chance with her don't you?" Tristan smirked.
Duke ran his fingers through his black hair. "Why not? She obviously digs me and we look so hot together." He said.
"Some people just never change." Tristan sighed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Duke demanded, straightening up a little in the passenger side seat.
"What I mean is that you are so wrapped up in yourself that you can't see what's really happening." Tristan said.
"Which is?"
"That she's into me." Tristan said.
Duke snorted a laugh.
"Think what you will but she's so into me." Tristan said. "The way she looked at me when she saw me rescue Seto."
"In your dreams." Duke said.
"Up yours!"
"Screw You!"
"If you two are about finished." The deep voice said. The boys jumped in fear of the unknown visitor. "Don't get all jumpy now. You've got to get this back to Mika." The man said.
"Who the hell are you?" Duke demanded.
"That's none of your concern." The tall man said. His eyes were dark blue and his hair was jet black. He towered over both Tristan and Duke that they found rather intimidating. "Here." The man said. He tossed the bag into the window. "Get back to her pronto." The man turned and the two boys looked at one another.
"That was creepy." Duke said.
"And another thing." The man said returning to the window again giving them another scare.
"Stop doing that!" Tristan demanded.
"Sorry. Tell her that there is a small trio that she may want to look into. Code names: Hot Pink, Harper and Cruel2BU. Understand?" He said.
"Yes sir!" Tristan said giving him a little salute.
"I don't appreciate being mocked." The man glared.
Tristan gulped. "Yes sir."
Meanwhile in the hotel.
Mika had taken a break from typing on the computer. There was nothing else for her to do but wait for them to return. Seto was busying himself by checking reports on his company and the progress.
"Shit." Seto said.
"What?" Mika asked. She rolled over onto her stomach on the bed.
"Another pack of company files have gone missing." Seto groaned. "My whole business is falling to shit."
Mika hopped off the bed and came to sit next to him. "Don't worry." She said. She leaned onto his shoulder. "We'll get to the bottom of this and everything will be fixed."
Seto slowed in his typing and became very aware of his shoulder. He quickly turned and kissed the top of her head. "Thanks." He said and then went back to typing.
Mika watch the screens fly by at a rapid pace but was not confused by anything she saw...until one page appear. "Stop." She said. Seto's fingers froze like ice. "What is it?" He asked.
"There." She said. "Click there." She pointed to the messenger box which said it contain 255 old messaged and 43 new massages.
Seto clicked on the window and a new screen popped up. "What are you looking for?" He asked.
"Doesn't it seem a little odd that there are so many saved messages?" She asked.
"There's always messages." He said dully.
"But not that many. Review some of them." She said.
Seto decided to do so. She'd been right about most things so far. They found random messages of "Congratulations on the New Baby" and "The New Reports are in." all from different employees to different people. Nothing special though.
"See. Nothing." Seto said.
"Is there a recycle bin?" She asked.
Seto made a load humph noise and clicked on the recycle bin in the lower corner. Ten filed popped up. "What now your majesty?" He mocked.
"Stop being so fidgety and review them all." She said.
"This is a waste of time." He said.
"Just do it." She said. "Or you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight."
"You wouldn't dare." He said.
"Try me." She half glared half-grinned.
Seto clicked on the one file and began to read aloud.
"Messengers KittyHope and J-Crew. Jay Crew: How are you doing today? Kitty Hope: Just fine. Looking forward to tonight though. J-crew: Tell me about it. Make sure you where the tight pink one though. You look so hot in it." Seto stopped.
"What's wrong? It was just getting good." Mika teased.
"We're invading workers privacy." Seto said.
"Fine. Move onto the next one." Mika said.
"I'm not reading aloud this time though." Seto said.
He clicked on the file and it popped up.
MESAANGER EMAILING SYSTEM
Hotpink: Can you believe what happened to Joseph?
Cruel2BU: I can't believe he got busted. How did he get busted?
"Looks like busting Joeseph put the others in their places." Seto grinned.
Harper: Forget about him we have more important issues.
Hotpink: Like what? We'll be next!
"Next? What are they up to?" Mika asked with no answer desired.
Harper: Exactly why we have to act now.
Cruel2BU: It's all that Mika Bitches fault. Why did she have to get hired?
"Hey!" Mika said. "There just jealous." Seto wrapped an arm around her.
Harper: Someone must have pulled some strings. We should probably not message like this anymore either. It could be dangerous. She might uncover us with it.
"They were right." Mika said. Hotpink: Right. We'll make this the last one. Then how will we communicate?
Harper: I'll inform you later. For now, we need to deal with the little snoop problem at work.
Cruel2BU: How do you say we do that.
Harper: We have her 'removed'.
"Removed? This is starting to get serious." Mika said.
Hotpink: Isn't there any other way?
Harper: Didn't you hear what happened to Joseph after the bust? Do you want to be next?
"I knew something didn't feel right." Mika said.
Hotpink: NO
Cruel2BU: No.
Harper: Then you know what we have to do. We'll have a privatized lunch meeting tomorrow to discuss possible 'removal' techniques.
Hotpink: We may need to call for some assistance.
Harper: If it comes to that. For now lets all sign off and gets some sleep. Goodnight.
Hotpink: Night.
Cruel2BU: Bye.
Seto leaned back and looked at Mika who couldn't take her eyes off the screen. "I can't believe it. Well. Actually I can but it's still hard to take." She said.
"You were right all along. My business is full of sneaky little rats." Seto pounded on the keyboard. "When I figure out who these people are." He began to say.
"Keep looking. There may be more clues." She said.
Seto clicked on the next file.
MESSANGER SYSTEM
Cruel2BU: Is everything set?
Harper: Yes. She won't know what hit her.
HotPink: R U sure she won't be able to find these messages we are sending.
Harper: There's nothing to worry about. These files will be deleted right after we're finished.
HotPink: Good.
Cruel2BU: So when is it going to happen?
Harper: I've set it up for right after the committee party. She won't know what hit her.
"Those bastards!" She shouted at the screen.
Hotpink: I thought she wasn't going to go.
Harper: She changed her mind as far as I've heard.
Hotpink: This better work or we're all in for it.
Harper: Don't sweat it. There's no way she'll escape.
They sat back again. "So these three are responsible for that attack after the party." Mika said. "This is all starting to make sense.
"You know who it is?" Seto asked.
"I have my suspicions." She said. "I'm not totally sure yet. Are there more files?"
"Yes. I don't want to upset you with these though." He said.
"Seto. I've had worse." She said.
Seto clicked on the next file.
MESSANGER SYSTEM
Harper: Those idiots!
HotPink: I'm sure it was just a fluke.
Harper: They missed. They had one job and they missed.
Cruel2BU: We are in a lot of shit. A lot of shit!
"Beyond shit." Mika said.
Harper: Don't you think I already realized that? The boss is gonna be really pissed.
"Crap." Mika said.
"What?" Seto asked.
"There's a boss." She said.
"So?"
"So that changes everything. That means that there's another person we might know that could be against us."
"Oh."
HotPink: I talked to him and he wants to take the job under his control.
Harper: He gonna kill us!
HotPink: Don't worry about her. The boss will have her dealt with. We just have to follow orders and try not 2 piss him off again.
"Least we know it's a guy." Seto said.
"Yeah." Mika said sarcastically. "That narrows it down from 6 billion to about 3 billion."
Harper: That's it?
Cruel2BU: That's never it.
Harper: We are so dead.
HotPink: Not if she's dead first.
They sat back one last time and just stared at each other. Neither was sure what to say right then but they'd take care of that later. Right now they had to deal with Joey that just came strutting in the doorway.
END OF CAHPTER 15
Phew! I'm all typed out! How about some review eh?
