It's kinda on the shortish side, but I'm gonna update really soon.


Dojima watched all of the other hunters bustling around the office, working on one assignment or another. She hadn't really been listening when they discussed the cases in the briefing room, but judging by the way everyone was scattered about doing research or making calls, she had missed quite a bit.

But that wasn't what currently occupied her thoughts. She shot a suspicious glance at Amon before leaning back in her seat, continuing to flip through a magazine way too casually to be natural. As far as she had heard, Amon hadn't given any explanation for where he had been all night, and knowing him, it wasn't likely that he ever would. But naturally, Dojima's curiosity had gotten the better of her, and now she was determined to find out why he had so mysteriously disappeared.

Finding her first target for information, Dojima slowly pulled herself out of her seat. She stretched meticulously, feigning a huge yawn, before walking nonchalantly over to Michael's desk.

As usual, Michael's fingers were skimming over the keyboard while his eyes flicked back and forth across the screen. Dojima leaned against the side of his desk and looked around the room to make sure Amon was out of earshot before speaking. "So Michael, you don't happen to know anything about Amon's little disappearing act, do you?" Dojima pursed her lips irritably as she noticed that Michael was listening to that music of his and hadn't even heard her. Pulling one of the earphones out, she said directly into his ear rather loudly, "Hey, Michael!"

He jumped out of his seat a few inches and turned to face her angrily. "Hey! What was that for?" Dojima ignored his outraged comment and smiled in an annoyingly satisfied way. "So, what's the deal with Amon? You must know something."

Michael turned back to his computer and said in an exasperated voice, "I don't know anything. No one does."

At that very moment, Robin walked into the office. Dojima immediately took notice of the way that both she and Amon carefully avoided looking at each other. Dojima tapped her finger against her lips thoughtfully, and then turned to smile sweetly at Michael. "You think so?"

Following her gaze over to where Robin was taking a seat at her desk, Michael turned back to Dojima with an almost pleading look on his face. "Come on Dojima, don't bring her into this. I'm sure she had nothing to do with it." Glancing over at Robin and noting how much paler she looked, he added, "And besides, I think I really freaked her out when I told her Amon was missing. She must have been really worried. That's why you should just leave her alone."

Dojima threw her hands in the air defensively. "I wasn't going to say anything to upset her." Michael raised an eyebrow at her as he looked up from the computer screen. Dojima sniffed in an offended way before stalking back to her desk and grabbing a magazine.

Dojima tried to look unnoticed at Robin from over the top of her magazine. She was going through a stack of papers offhandedly while glancing silently at Amon every once in a while.

How am I supposed to ask Robin about Amon if Michael's gonna be hanging around the whole time? she thought to herself. Dojima was now certain that whatever was going on with Amon, Robin had something to do with it.

I think I'll go shopping. Well, for now, it was as good a solution as any.
