The boys were in front of an office that said 'Scholar Finance.' The detector had indicated that Ross was close.
" So do you think she is in there?" asked Kuwa
"Well duh inless this thing is broken" said Yusuke shaking it
"Don't" said Kurama "remember she said she had a meeting at 12 and look what time it is" said Kurama raising his watch, the boys looked and sure enough the clock read noon.
"Alright, then come on" said Yusuke waling forward but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"We really should not pry in her affairs" said Kurama.
"Yeah well it's our job, now come on" said Yusuke entering the door, a secretary, with blue hair in a bun was at the front desk, she lowered her glasses.
"Can I help you?" she asked in a sweet tone her emerald eyes looked up.
"Yes , we need to uh. get out a student loan" said Yusuke putting his hand behind his head.
"Alright well just sign these and Mr. Butter-Field will be with you in a moment" she said going back to typing.
Yusuke took the forms and sat down at a chair with the others, a hall was to their left and they could here a girl's voice and a man's as well, they listened in.
~ In the hall~
"Im sorry but your bills have not been paid" said the man.
"What do you mean I have the receipt right there" she said slamming it on the table as he read it.
"No, no this is from last month's payment see" he said pointing to the date.
"What that is when I paid it I paid a month in advance" she said now annoyed.
"No, no that would mean that you didn't pay last month's, witch means I ma going to have to cancel your loan" He said.
"What no you can't do that, what do you expect me to do live on the streets" she said anxious.
"Well miss you should of thought of that before you opened this loan, now I am going to have to see some I.D" he said holding out a hand.
She clenched her teeth "You know what fine" She said digging threw her bag and slamming some green on the table.
"Here, happy I won't be able to eat for a moth but hey at least you have you money you greedy pig" she said storming out the door not even seeing the others.
"Thank you and come again" said the Secretary.
The boys got up and walked out, "Oh you don't have to wait anymore" said the secretary.
"Sorry we have other plans" said Kurama leaving with the others.
"Well that was-"
"Terrible" said Kuwa interrupting Yusuke.
"How can a jerk like that pick on her she's just a kid" said Kuwa putting his hands in his pocket.
"Watch who you are calling a kid, I have a feeling that girl is quite more powerful than you fool" said Hiei.
"Hey watch it"
"No now" said Kurama as he interrupted the too and they looked at the compass.
"Well she is in East of town" said Yusuke.
"Alright then let's go" said Kurama as they agreed and began heading in that direction.
**** Mean while****
"I can't believe this, now im totally screwed, I mean" she kicked a can down the street.
"What am I going to do get another load?" People looked at her as she kicked the can hard making it slam into the street light dead on.
"Bull's eye" she said making people turn and stare. "What?" she said harshly as they went back to what they were doing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The boys walked down a street and stopped in front of a brick two-story building, which had a sign that read ' Frank's Construction'
"Well this is where it says she is" said Kurama looking up, "She is on the 2nd floor" he said. The team looked around for a place to spy where they would not be caught and found that the fire escape would be the best bet.
The climbed up and peered in threw the window and there sat a woman in her forty's typing on a computer, she had beige hair, she got up and opened the door to another room.
"Ross, can you come here, I need you to do something for me, and sure enough came walking in was Ross hold about a billion papers in different clips she placed them on a chair and the woman pointed to a filing cabinet, Ross got on her knees and began to file tons of papers.
"What a waste of time" said Yusuke.
"Yes well im sure she is not arguing, since it is probably the only way she paying to live" said Kurama as he watched her. She got up and went to the next room. The boys switched windows and saw her go to a computer and a desk full of papers like she was holding earlier; she began to put them in order and then started to process them into the computer.
"Wow she's fast" Said Kurama which surprised them.
"Well I guess she does has a job, so that proves it she is innocent" said Yusuke.
"I suppose" said Kurama as the boys made their way down the fire escape.
"Well I guess we can go now huh?" said Kuwa
"Yes alright" said Kurama as they made there way to the west park of the city, they shopped for awhile and then noticed that she was moving again.
"Im sure she is going back home" said Yusuke.
"No she is going the opposite way" said Kurama.
"Here we go again" said Yusuke but just as they were going to walk in her direction a bus passed by and as they turned around they saw that Ross was holding onto the back on a skate board, The looked in Awe and then Hiei broke the silence.
"Come on" he said going after the zooming bus as the others ran behind him, they followed the bus for about 3 blocks and then it began to back a sharp turn.
"She's not going to make it" said Kurama.
And as they saw the bus turn, Ross bad a kick flip onto a car making it stop a cause traffic, they looked at the scene in shock and then began to follow her watching her jump from car to car, until she got to a stop sign and jumped off onto the side walk, while the car's owner yelled at her with his fist in the air.
Hs e shrugged it off and began to skate down the street and than gave the board to a young boy while ruffling his hair.
She entered a restaurant called 'Mark's Pizzeria' and the team followed in pursuit; she put on an apron and talked to a large Italian guy obviously her boss and he pointed to a broom in which she nodded and began to clean the restaurant.
The boy's seated themselves and a young waitress came up to them "Hello my name is Kate and I will be your server today, now what can I get you?" she asked taking out a pen and notepad. The boys told them what they wanted and then stopped her before she left.
"Hey wait" said Yusuke.
"Who is that girl?" he asked pointing to Ross and the girl smiled.
"Oh that's Ross, she is one of the waitress' here though she also cleans the place as a side gig for extra money, sweet girl come to think of it she's the youngest worker here" said Kate with a smile.
"I can go get her if you want" she said about to walk in her direction.
"NO" said Yusuke grabbing onto her arm "That's alright, but tell me how long has she been working here?" asked Yusuke.
The girl smile and then thought "oh I don't know longer than me, lets she since she was 9 or 10 I'd say about 3-4 years" she said with a smile.
"Alright thanks" he said, as she left to go get their food.
They ate their Pizza and watched as Ross moved form cleaning the floor to serving people as it got busy, she was good at it, and she actually had etiquette as a worker. B the time they were done eating she had jus taken off her apron and stuffed her tips in her pocket, as the large man smiled faintly. She looked up at the clock and cursed under her breath scurrying out the door.
The boys followed her, "Man that was good" said Yusuke rubbing his stomach.
"No time Yusuke lets go" said Kurama looking at his watch it was already 7 pm.
"Oh come on Kurama she can't have another job I mean geeze that's impossible 3 jobs and a full time student" said Yusuke.
"Well she has surprised us before" he said waking briskly.
The radar signaled that she was in the hospital.
"What would she be doing here" asked Yusuke out loud.
"I don't know come on" he said walking in through the front door.
"Yes may I help you" said a young girl about 15 with a stripped uniform on.
"Uh yeah were looking for someone perchance you know of them, Ross Gem" said Kurama.
"OH Ross yeah she is in med-Surg right down that hall and take a left" Said the girl pointing down the hall to their right. They thanked her and began there walk.
"Oh geeze I hope she's ok" said Kuwa just as they entered a ward, with the nurse's station in the middle they approached it but then, saw flying juices and cups coming from a room in front of them, then appeared Ross in a goofy looking red and white stripped outfit, she looked in their direction and then froze, her face got red and she stomped over to them while gritting her teeth trying to not make a scene.
"What are you DOING her" she said thought gritted teeth.
"Well Koenma said to"
"I should have know, Hah that little brat has you spying on me to make sure I have a job" said Ross, she left them in shock.
"Come on she said leading them to a door that led to the outside, she closed it behind her.
"Look, its bad enough that I have to deal with detectives at school but this is going too far." She said calmly.
"We know you have a job we saw you, you have 3 you don't have to worry" said Kuwa as he realized what he said and put his hand over is mouth.
" SO you have been spying on me" she said eyeing them.
"I thought someone was following me, anyways this is not one of my jobs though your right I do have three at the moment" she said shocking them.
"If this isn't a job then what is it?" asked Yusuke.
"Im a candy striper; thus the outfit I do this voluntarily" she said shocking them all as they did an anime fall.
"What you gotta be kidding me you wear that on purpose," said Yusuke cracking up laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, shut up" she said crossing her arms.
"But why?" asked Kurama.
"I don't have to tell you why, it should be obvious I like to help people and If I don't then who will?" she said making Yusuke shut up and them stare at her with wide eyes.
She got tired of the stares and looked at her watch "I gotta go, my shift doesn't end till 10 and then I gotta work till 2am" she sad opening the door.
"Hey wait" said Kuwa stopping her.
"What is your third job, you know so we don't have to follow you" he said as she turned around.
"Im a bus boy at 'Chez Mark'"
"Wouldn't it be Bus girl" said Yusuke.
"Shut up" she said closing the door behind her with a click.
"Wow hey I never got to ask her about, her helping me and junk when I was dead" said Yusuke putting his hands in his pocket.
"Yusuke don't I do this that's wise if she wanted to know she would have told you" said Kurama. Yusuke sighed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"SO she really does have a job" said Koenma as the team stood in front of him.
"A JOB, HA TRY THREE!" said Yusuke making Koenma fall off his chair.
"THREE really wow, didn't know the girl had it in her, well she is obviously innocent you can go now" he said while writing something in her file and handing it to an Ogre. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The team was now waling up the stair case to the boys' dorms.
"Well, classed start up tomorrow" said Kurama.
"Yeah im sure Keiko can't wait" said Yusuke crossing his arms.
"Hn"
"Well maybe this time will be different" said Kuwa.
"Yes, perhaps," said Kurama.
