Chapter 11: Tracking the Enemy

Are you sure you can do this? I mean, she's the one who taught us this stuff. Makoto asked Michiru as she threw her bag over her shoulder. Yes, hand me the bugged one. The brunette sighed and passed her a black cell phone, the same one that Setsuna carried around. Here she comes now too, good luck. Michiru took a deep breath before walking down the hall casually approaching the headmaster. Pretending not to be looking she bumped into her head on, gracefully pulling her cell out of the inside jacket pocket and dropping the bugged one on the floor. Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Meiou-sensei! Michiru begged, reaching down to pick up the phone. Setsuna grabbed it from her hand straightening her jacket. Please watch where you are going Miss Kaioh. she replied sternly before continuing her storm to her office. Michiru gulped before walking back to Makoto, Well, I think she bought it. Yeah with your sappy sobbings. the brunette replied, sticking her tongue out at her classmate.

When are--they gonna contact her? Mako yawned, stretching out and rubbing her eyes. They had been sitting in Michi's room since classes were out, that was 6 hours ago. The aqua girl glanced down at her watch, unsure of what to say. I think we should call it a night. Makoto suggested, leaning against the chair heavily. Just five more minutes. Hey, why are you so keen on helping Haruka anyway? Like, I know you guys are friends and all, but no one goes through this much trouble just for _friends_. Michiru suddenly raised her head off the desk she rested on, What do you mean by that!? There's nothing between us! She's just ... a close friend! Mako bursted out laughing, Remember, you were the one who just lost control about it. What?! Hey, that's not fai---

The computer speakers began ringing, cutting off their conversation. Mako sighed a relief, tapping away quickly at the keyboard as it began making notes of the radio waves before starting the recording:

Yes, I have the plates, where can should we make the drop? Are you sure this line is secure? Absolutely, it's my private line. And the students are guaranteed to be found guilty? Affirmative. They believed that they were doing a standard operation; this Creston Academy front was a great idea. While in mission, I had over ridden Mr. Matsouiki's computer and re-connected all security cameras. Excellent. We'll make the drop at pier 16 tonight in 3 hours.

Followed was a click, signaling the end of the phone call. Can you believe our luck?? Michiru grinned from ear to ear, jumping up and down hugging Makoto. They just confessed to everything!! All we have to do is present this to the judge, and Haruka will be released!! Mako laughed and stopped for a moment, Hey, you still haven't said why you're so keen on getting her out. Err, come on, we should get to bed if we're gonna go to the courts tomorrow. Michiru cut in, packing up all her stuff.
