Chapter 3

Do it or else!

" I've tried almost every number in the phone book, and no one want's to work for us!" said Michiru as she looked trough the phone book, for a company that she hadn't tried yet. She finally found one, and was about to pick up the phone, when it rang. She jumped in surprise. " Hello?" she said. ' Hey! It's just me, I'm calling to tell you that we have a place for the bar, do you have a pencil and paper?" asked Rai from the other side of the phone. " Yep, shoot." Answered Michiru. ' Ok, it's on the corner…. Of 5th….. and

Main…." She said slowly, ' Do you got all that?' she asked from the other side of the phone. " Yep!" said Michiru. ' Good! So how goes the search for help?' asked Rai. Michiru gave a heavy sigh on the phone, " Well, Everybody that I've phoned has given me some lame excuse of why they wont do it….I think it's because I'm a woman…" Michiru trailed off. ' Well, maybe if you actually go to the company's, you might get better results!' suggested Rai. " Hey that's a good idea! Thanks Rai! Chow!" she said as she hung up the phone. She looked through the phone book for all the company's she had tried, and copied down the addresses, then proceeded to gather her stuff, and head to her car. When she was driving down the highway, she looked at the paper for her first stop. " Bobby's eh? Guess I'm going there first." She said to herself. As she pulled into the parking lot, she looked at the place in front of her. ' Ew.' Was the only thought that came to her head. When she walked in, she noticed how grimy the place was, and then she

noticed three guy sitting in really ugly chairs, with beers in their hands. " Well that's

attractive." She said to herself. She walked over to the guys, stood in front of them and said, " Excuse me, I was looking for someone to…" She was interrupted by the guy to her left, who was ugly, and piggish looking, " Sorry lady, but were stocked up for the next

month or so." He said spitting while he talked. Michiru cringed in disgust, " But I can pay any…" she was interrupted again, this time by the guy to her right, " We told you lady, we ain't got no business with you." The guy in front of her spoke up as well, " Yeah, so leave." He said pointing to the door. Michiru left and walked out to her car. She looked at the piece of paper. " Who's next?" she asked herself, " Ah, Mr.Fixit's, this should be interesting." She said to herself, as she stated up the car, and went on her way. When she pulled into the parking lot of the next place, it looked almost as nasty as the last one. She walked in, and saw a man behind the desk. She walked up and said, " Umm, I was wondering if you could help me with some…" she was interrupted, ' god what is it with guys and interrupting!!' she thought to herself. " Sorry miss, but were busy for the next month, sorry." Michiru continued," But I can pay you whatever you want!" she said. The guy looked her up and down, " I told you miss, were busy, but thanks for stopping by." He said, as he pointed to the door. Michiru threw her arms up in frustration, and walked out the door to her car. She got in, and started to drive once more, " Ok, the next on the list is, ' The Handyman' well, this should be interesting." She said as she drove to her next location. As she pulled into the parking lot, she was amazed at what she saw. It was clean on the outside. She walked in, and was surprised to see that it was clean on the inside as well!!! She walked up to the man at the front desk, who looked up as soon as she stood in front of him. " Can I help you miss?" he said in a voice that seemed somewhat professional. She smiled, thinking that she would actually find someone to help them out. " Actually, yes you can! I am looking for someone to help renovate something for me. " The man looked at her, stuck his nose up in the air, and said, " Sorry miss, but we are fresh out of peoples for the next couples of months. Now, if you will excuse me, I am terribly busy." That was it, Michiru had had enough of all this bullshit about being busy. She walked as close to the counter as she could, grabbed his tie, and pulled him down to her level of sight. " Listen mister, I have had peoples telling me the same thing all day, and I know it's not true! You guys just wont help me because I'm a woman, am I right?" she asked, a threatening tone in her voice. The mans eyes were wide with fear. He

reached his hand under the counter to push the security button that was there. Michiru saw this, but at this point in time she really didn't care! She smiled at the guy, " That's right, you call your guards and I will take care of them as well!" Just as she said that, two buff looking guys came in with guns. They took one look at her and put their guns on the floor. One of them walked over to her, " Now miss, I don't think you wanna do that. A pretty little thing like you shouldn't be threatening peoples." He said with a smile. Michiru took this perfect chance, and let go of the guy behind the counter. She put on a seductive face, and started strutting over towards the security guy. " You're right officer, but I just couldn't help myself, I wanted to get a good look at the security guards for myself. "she said going and standing behind him. She took her hands and traced her fingers along his back, then moved around to the front. She saw how the security guard was smiling, like he was king of the world or something. Michiru smiled to herself, ' This is so perfect! This moron doesn't know anything!' She moved her body as close to his as

she could get it, and leaned up to whisper in his ear, " Sorry." The guard got a confused

look on his face, and that's when she brought up her knee, and kneed him in the groin. Then, she punched him in the face so hard, he fell unconscious. She looked over when she heard a noise. ' of course! They just don't learn the first time!' Michiru thought to

herself, as she ducked the punch from the second guard, and punched him in the stomach, and then upracoteded him. When he fell to the floor, she turned around, dusted herself off, and went back over towards the desk clerk, who now looked like he was ready to piss his pants. " Now, " she started, a pissed off ring in her voice, " Will you give me some guys so that I can start the renovation or do I have to hurt you like I did them?" The man looked at her terrified, and shook his head, " Y…Y…Yes….ma'am….I will send someone over there right away, I just need the address…. Please…." He said, as he gave her a piece of paper and a pen with shaky hands. Michiru smiled, and wrote down the address, then, headed back out to her car. She gave a smile to herself. " Oh! I am so good!" she said, as she picked up her cell, and dialed Rai's number.
