After the alliance was made, the JSN agents left to go back to their own HQ. With a few hours until the cover-up business on SISN's first floor opened, the agents made sure there was no evidence JSN had ever been in the building. A lot of demons worked for SISN-their sharp sense of smell would easily detect the agents' scents. Not good.

The morning had been slow and uneventful, and now it was noon. Kouga, Sesshomaru, and Sango took care of Morioka's case file, making sure all the details about the anon tip and his death were there. It was almost funny; Morioka had been killed, and yet, it felt as if something so much bigger was just getting started. Why else would Rin be kidnapped?

Sesshomaru and Kouga were now just tying up some loose ends with their equipment- cleaning their guns, synching the frequencies on their earpieces and other tech things- your general spy stuff. Aside from the occasional small talk, they worked in silence. There wasn't really much to say, not after yesterday.

Kouga glanced over towards the aisle and noticed Sango was walking through. He nudged Sesshomaru and cocked his head towards their coworker.

"You notice she's been acting weird lately?" Kouga questioned.

Sesshomaru winced as he slid off his seat on Kouga's desk. Everything still hurt from being riddled with bullets. "Yes. Ever since we got the tip."

"What do yah think it is?"

"I do not know, nor do I care." Sesshomaru looked back to his gun and continued cleaning it with a newfound vigor.

Kouga rolled his eyes and turned back in Sango's direction. What is causing her to act like this? Kouga's next observation was troubling; two of SISN's security guards were briskly walking into the room.

"That's not right…those two never come down here…" Sesshomaru looked up to see what Kouga was talking about. He scoffed.

"And your point is?"

"My point is they're coming towards us."

Both agents stood up straight as the guards approached.

"Agent Taisho," one of them spoke, "please come with us, sir." A tense moment followed as Sesshomaru and Kouga exchanged glances, unsure of what was happening. They were both vaguely aware of everyone in the big room watching them.

"Is there a problem here?" Sesshomaru spoke.

"Please come with us, sir." The stoic agent made no move, and to his surprise, found himself being grabbed, turned around, and forcefully handcuffed. Kouga, suddenly enraged, lunged at the guard holding Sess but the other guy slammed into him. Everyone on the floor came to see what the ruckus was.

"Calm the fuck down Kouga. Can one of you explain why I'm being detained?"

"Mr. Renkoi-sama will explain everything, sir." Sesshomaru was led away, the entire floor shocked into silence, everyone thinking the same thing.

The CEO? What's going on?

Yeah so back in chapter 9, the only time the CEO was mentioned, I didn't give him a name. Whoops. Anyway. Kbye. Thanks for reading! (and reviewing, cough cough) ~Annalise

P.S. I'm publishing the first chapter of my new InuKag fic soon, so keep an eye out if you like that pairing :)
