.oOo.

It's been a little bit over three days since Umi has been kidnapped and Kotori was getting frustrated. It's as if both Eli and Umi had disappeared off the face of the Earth.

"Kotori?"

Kotori looked up from her work desk to see that her mom was giving her a worried face. Kotori sighed and put on a forced smile.

"Oh hey mom! What happened?" Kotori asked in her sweet voice, hoping that her mom wouldn't see right through her.

"Nothing, you have been looking a little stressed out recently; not just at work but at home too...what's bothering you?" Ms. Minami asked. Kotori gave a confused look and spoke to answer her mom's question.

"Oh... I have? Seems like I've just been working too much... I guess I need to take a break." Kotori lied. Her mom gave her a concered look before she sighed. "Well if you are stressed out, you need to tell me, so I can give you some time off." Ms. Minami smiled warmly at her daughter. Kotori gave an equally warm smile before her mom turned around to leave.

"Oh i forgot to say, Honoka is here, you want to see her?" Ms. Minami asked. Kotori quickly nodded as her mom told Honoka to come in. She greeted herself before sitting down in the chair across from Kotori.

Once Kotori's mom left, Kotori spoke up.

"So did you find anything on where Umi can be?" Kotori asked. Honoka shook her head. "No I haven't. I think they can't be here in Tokyo, they are probably out of town... but it's hard to say..." Honoka layed back in the chair, bringing her slightly curled index finger to her lips as she started to think.

Kotori suddenly slammed her head onto the desk and started to whine, which startled Honoka.

"I was so close on getting Eli! So close! But she ran away... and took Umi with her..." Honoka felt her heart ache, not just about how close Kotori was on catching the most wanted criminal, but also on how sad she talked about Umi, Honoka felt her heart start to fill with jealousy and despair, but tried not to act on it.

"K-kotori... dont worry... we'll find Umi soon, and we will also catch Eli too... watch...!" Honoka tried to enourage Kotori, but it didnt seem to work, as Kotori didnt respond or even look up at Honoka.

"Elicci! Elicci!" Nozomi ran towards the backyard where both Eli and Umi where. "A letter from Russia came!" Eli quickly stood up from the wooden bench that she was sharing with Umi and went towards Nozomi. Umi couldn't help but smile as her kidnapper looked happy about getting a letter from her home country.

Eli quickly took the letter from Nozomi and opened the letter and started to read out loud

Eli Ayase,

You have done a great job to our country, by taking information from Japan's greatest companies. We understand that you want to come home, so we will grant you your wish. But first you must infiltrate UTX company and get all their data on their trading with the United States. Do this mission successfully and you will get to come back. We already got invitations for you and its a party of seven, so try to bring seven of your greatest people.

We wish you good luck, and have a safe mission.

Sincerely,

.

Eli was beyond happy as she read the letter out loud.

"So... Elicci. Who are the seven people that you are going to take to the party?" Nozomi asked. Eli thought for a moment before answering. "Well im not sure... that's a good question. How about; you, Nico, Rin, Hanayo, and Maki."

"That's good... but you know Nico and Maki are going to argue in the mission... its inevitable... and Hanayo is incredibly shy. Not only that but you are also going to need one more person to go in the mission..." Nozomi let her sentence drift as she looked behind Eli. Out of curiosity, Eli turned around too to see Umi was enjoying the morning breeze. Eli quickly turned around and hit Nozomi in the arm.

"Ow-!"

"Are you stupid...? Hell no!" Eli scolded Nozomi. Nozomi gave Eli a questioning look as she rubbed her arm. "Why not? She can be very valuable in the mission. She can seduce security guards or something like that!" Nozomi winked and Eli. Eli got more mad and shook her head. "No means no... this is a huge mission... I don't want her to be in danger..." Eli scolded at Nozomi.

"Eli... she would be a valuable memeber to our team! Plus who else are you going to have in your other team... all the other people are injured or six feet under..." Nozomi said in a whisper. Eli was caught off guard. Nozomi had a point there... there was no one else capable of being in the mission. Only Umi could help... that is if she wanted to.

Eli slowly walked up to Umi and reluctantly spoke up.

"U-mm Umi... would you like to help me in this mission...?" Umi looked up at Eli and smiled. "Yes of course I will." Umi responded. Eli hugged Umi tightly, making it hard for Umi to breath.

"Thank you so much Umi..."

.oOo.

Maki sighed once more, as she sat alone in an ice cream shop.

"Well I didn't expect to see you here... I thought you were in America or something..."

Maki didnt turn around, as she knew who that voice belonged to. "I see you havent even grown a centimeter... you still look like a child, and those pig tails don't help you look younger." Maki shot back. Nico huffed as she sat across from Maki.

"Did you get her message?"

"Im reading it right now. How is it that we are partners in this mission...? I dont get why we are paired up..." Maki huffed as she turned off her phone and lazily threw her phone on the table. Nico sighed as she grabbed Her spoon and inserted it in her strawberry ice cream. "I dont know... but it is a party... so im guessing we are going to have to split up." Nico said before putting the spoon full on ice cream in her mouth.

"I bet Nozomi thought of putting us together..." Maki spoke as she grabbed her vanilla ice cream and started to eat hers.

"Did you know that after this mission, she is going back to Russia..." Nico informed Maki. "Stop playing..."

"I'm not. This is why she asked us to help her, we are her 'best people' for this mission, so she wants everything to go smoothly. Everyone has a role in this mission; Nozomi is the one driving when we run away... obviously, Rin is the one that is going to help anyone that is injured, im helping with the dresses and make up, and your the one that is going to drive the airplane!"

"I dont know much about driving an airplane!" Maki exclaimed. "Well your going to need to figure it out. How else are we supposed to go to Russia?"

Maki huffed as she relaxed in her seat. What else was she going to do?

.oOo.

"Kotori can i talk to you?" Ms. Minami politely asked. Kotori nodded as she let ger mom in.

"I have a job for you. UTX is having a party, we need all the people we can get as security guards. This job is yours unless you dont feel like your up to the job." This caught Kotori's attention and quickly knew that she was going no matter what. She knew that Eli was going to be there. UTX is one of the biggest companies out there.

"No mom... I'll go." Kotori said with a determined look. Ms. Minami smiled as she turned around to walk out of her daughters office.

Kotori quickly got her phone and dialed Honoka.

"Honoka! Can you help me with something?"

"Yeah... what is it?"

"UTX is having a a party and I know Eli is going to be there. Can you help me and try to find her?"

"Yeah of course. When is the party?"

"Im not sure my mom hasn't told me all the details yet, but once she does I'll text it to you. Anyways i got to go, I still got a lot of work to do. Ill call you later, bye.

With that Kotori hanged up and happily smiled as she knew that Eli was going to be there, and she would force Eli to tell her where Umi was. Nothing was going to get in her way.

Or so she thought.
