By the time she had returned, it was about 11:15a.m. They had left an hour
and a half ago. When she walked into the building, miho and Michael sat
alone, their backs facing each other. They turned to her when the door
opened. Miho returned to her work, but Michael got up. (Michael)-\
where's haruto? What took you guys so long to get back? / She stared at
him, but her eyes weren't seeing anything. He shook her. (Michael)-\
what's-going-on!? / She focused in again. (Piere)-\ I'm sorry Michael.
Haruto said he was going to some bar place thing. He should be back soon.
Can I sit down please? / He pulled up a chair for himself then one for her.
(Piere)-\ thank you very much, Michael. / (Michael)-\ mhm you're welcome.
Now tell me what happened. / She waved it off as if it were nothing, and
started to wipe the sweat off her brow. Michael was frustrated by now. He
got up and went back to his computer to continue working. Piere began to
play with a piece of black paper. Then she crumpled it up and left it one
the nearest table, and got up and exited the building. When miho was sure
she was gone out the place completely and down the street, she slowly got
up and went to the paper. Should I really, miho thought, be doing this?
Its none of my business what she does. But what if he's hurt? She nodded
her head. She was doing this for haruto, not for her own entertainment and
pleasure. She reached for the paper, soiled with piere's thoughts and
memories. She was less than an inch away. Almost there, she thought.
Almost-- (haruto)-\ piere! Piere! Is she in here? She crashed her bike and
hurt herself, but she ran off and I haven't seen her since! Miho, did she
come in here? / Miho turned around, feeling ashamed of what she had just
done. The paper was just filled with her crush on michael, how hot she
thought he was, how bad she had felt when she found out michael wasn't
allowed outside, blah blah blah. Miho wondered. How did she fall so
deeply in love with Michael in hardly a day? Anyways, that proved nothing.
At least nothing important at the moment. (Haruto)-\ miho, did you see
her or not? / Miho snapped out of it. (Miho)-\ come on I'll show you which
way I saw her go./ miho felt badly about what she had done, otherwise she
would have pretended not to hear. (Miho)-\ I'll be back soon, ok? If Amon
comes in, just tell him what's happened. / Michael didn't turn around, he
simply nodded. Miho and haruto exited and got into miho's car.

Michael had only realized minutes ago that was supposed to be looking up all the information n he possibly could on a witch, named joy Koiyama. The repot was due in a couple of hours, and with all the commotion going on, he had completely forgotten about it. So far he had found out was that she was 28 years of age and works at a retirement home as a caregiver. She was born in France and moved here only two years ago. She had very recently taken in a young French girl, who apparently has no real background. That was unusual, it's like she just, came out of nowhere. But she had nothing to do with the assignment. He skipped over her and went to the next page of information.

Miho made a sharp turn. (Miho)-\I'm positive that she went this way, but I don't where she went after that that. / But haruto knew. She had went back home, why didn't he think of that! (Haruto)-\ come on, lets trade, I know where she went. / (miho)-\ are you sure? / He nodded. She stopped the car and they traded seats. It was kind weird, not having a helmet or his legs on different sides. He sped off in the direction of her apartment, passing the crash site, where there were news cameras and people talking to the reporters. Haruto took a quick glace out a t the site. He saw her bike, the front wheel all crushed up and pooped, he front half of bike a complete mess. He shuddered. Miho was staring out the site, too. (Miho)-\what the heck happened there?!/ Haruto didn't answer. She understood. He probably really likes her, miho thought. They got and went upstairs inside the building, and he showed her which door to go to. You do it, there's some kind of problem with her roomy and dudes. Before miho could protest, haruto was knocking on the door. No answer. He knocked more firmly. Still no answer. Then he kicked the door down in impatience. They walked inside. The home seemed empty; no lights were on, and the windows were closed tightly, but since it was still early morning, there was enough light to see everything. Haruto saw a small ivory elephant; it was blue, and smeared with fingerprints. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. This might help, he thought. (Miho)-\ this place reeks of evil. / Haruto turned around, startled. Her voice was thick and hoarse. Then, footsteps were heard coming down the hall (person)-\ its ok piere, don't cry, everything will be all right. / Haruto thought he recognized that voice. It was that woman he saw in the alleyway. (Haruto)-\ damn! I think she was talking to piere! That means they'll be coming in here. Miho come on we got to open a window and get outta here! / She nodded and he unlocked a window. Luckily they were only 4 feet above the ground. They jumped out and ran to Miho's car. Then they sped off to raven's flat, the ivory elephant resting safely in haruto's pocket.
