Chapter 10
The young detective felt a little guilty about following his student, but what if Tada had gotten himself involved in something.
Tailing the student had turned out almost frustratingly easy. Tada only looked around once and that had been while crossing a street against the light. And soon the high school treasurer found himself outside a rich set of apartments. The lobby was crowded but not s much that Akira could slip in unnoticed and his opportunity came in the form of three girls from the theater group carrying a large Chinese dragon costume.
"Excuse me," Akira said approaching them with a smile. As they smiled back he continued, "I'm playing a game with a friend of mine and I need to get into that elevator," he pointed to the one Tada was waiting for, "I was wondering if you would help me."
"You bet," the girl closest to him said, "Jenny hold that elevetor," she winked, "It's an emergency." The tallest girl made a dash inside, "Akira-sensei you under this between Yoko and me." She instructed turning the dragon's head she held over to cover her body in draping fabric.
The ex-thief gratefully slipped under, "What do I have to do?" he asked thinking they might have to act the part.
"Don't worry about it," Yoko said behind is shoulder, "We runaround like this a lot when it's not too hot."
Akira just nodded. That wasn't quite what he was asking but he couldn't say more because he could hear Tada trying to convince Jenny to take the next elevator.
"Look they're right here," she said sounding relived.
As they got in the girls positioned the young detective near the doors. The wait was a quiet one and thankfully no one else got on and soon the door opened. Akira peaked out as the doors opened and Tada stepped out. When the doors started to close Akira dove out to roll silently behind a potted plant. Luckily there was no one else in the connecting hallways. Tada paused to knock on a door then and a harsh voice Akira didn't know told the student to come in. And as the door closed the silver eyed young man dashed up hearing, "Now we just need the bitch.." the rest was cut off by the door. While Akira was raking his brain on how he was going to listen in he walked to the other end of the hall. Maybe there was a vent or something.
He tuned the corner and nearly collided with someone. A familiar voice caused Akira to look up quickly. "Are you okay?" Miss. Carmolita asked giving him a hand up, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm fine thank you," Akira said feeling a bit sheepish for being caught, "I was looking for Kaichio. He seems to have gone missing again."
She laughed warmly, "Well good luck."
"Thank you," he said blushing. And left at a slight jog for the elevators he could see on this side.
As the doors closed to the elevator Akira felt a little guilty for lying but it was to late now. Maybe he should make her some tarts to make it up to her. She did like tarts after all and she didn't need to know what they were for.
In Quatre's sitting room
Trowa was careful as he pulled out Quatre's chair for dinner. The table was set for two and piles of get-well flowers were set nearly floor to ceiling. It might even be called romantic, that is if they could trust anything brought in. The four pilots had carefully scoured the two sets of adjoined rooms over the last few days. The nearest surveillance device was at the end of the hall, nothing that would give way anything that was happening in the rooms. So over all is was safe to talk and act normal, but objects brought in? Well it was safer to assume everything brought was bugged.
As the Heavy Arms pilot sat he paid the meal little mind, favoring his concentration to the one across from him.
Quatre sipped his water as he found a suitable topic of conversation. "Nokoru is very good host isn't he?" the blond said.
The brunet pilot paused in his motions to say, "A better host then a detective possibly."
The Sandrock pilot frowned slightly, "Good detective work takes time I would imagine."
"Yes, hiring good detectives would," Trowa said and blinked. Apparently startled by his own words he added, "thankfully I've heard he has solved a crime or two with his friends."
Quatre smiled, "And until he solves this one the only peace of mind I will find is with you and our friends."
Suddenly the door burst open with a voice saying, "Speaking of friends." But Duo was interrupted by a well-thrown fork that he almost didn't duck. Heero standing beside him caught it before it got to them.
Wufei rolled his eyes and said, "This is why you knock."
Duo looked up from his crouch and nodded.
Quatre rushed over nearly panicked, "Amber are you okay? I'm sorry I was talking to Trowa I must have distracted him. I just want.." He was cut off this time by Duo's finger in his lips.
Amethyst pools shimmered in a smile, "Kim girl, you need to calm down. The whole world is not your fault," the smile became a smirk, "I'd tell you to be more relaxed like Trowa, but then I'd have to dodge more flying silverware."
Quatre laughed lightly, "Yes, and I don't want to have to tell Nokoru what happened to his solid silver place settings."
"What about my place settings?" a familiar voice asked down the hall.
The four pilots in the hall turned to see Nokoru and Suoh walking up to them each carrying a good carefully wrapped package the size of a shoe box. Duo and Quatre looked a little sheepish. "Nothing," Duo said "just jokes."
The blond detective smiled understandingly, "If it will make you happy you can do what ever you like with the place setting and I will be more that happy to hear about it later if you wish." His blue gaze slid across the group and he pulled out a fan marked 'fun in for everyone' and continued, "I hope you all have time tomorrow." A few in the group nodded, "Spectacular, then I invite you all to a picnic this Sunday at 11:00 at the Beach Front Wave Center."
"But we don't have a thing to ware," Duo protested.
"And the their allergy," Heero added, "They shouldn't even be in the same building as chlorine based chemicals."
"But we could do it in the park on eighth," Quatre added further, "I saw it from my class window and have been wanting to see it."
"Then we can certainly have a picnic there," Nokoru said smiling unfazed by their attempts to keep the skirted pilot high and dry, "And I do not mean to be presumptuous, but I have already taken the young ladies allergies into account, reserved the building for the afternoon, and taken the liberty of adding to your wardrobe. He handed his box to Duo, whom he was closest to, and Suoh handed his package to Wufei. "One box for the ladies and one for the gentle men. I noticed in your class schedules you do not have pool related activities," Nokoru explained then added almost absently, "I'm afraid I am not as good at male sizes and style preference, so if you have any objections feel free to tell Miss. Carmolita of any changes you would be more to your liking and it can be arranged."
All the pilots just stared at him for a moment shell-shocked. Slowly his smile started to fade, "Please say you'll come," he finally asked.
Quatre smiled the first to recover, "We would love to."
The blond detective's smile returned in full brilliancy, "Wonderful, sorry to just hop in and out like this but I'll see you tomorrow." With that he turned to leave.
"Wait," Trowa said coming fully into the hall, "how is the investigation coming?"
The Kaichio turned his face serious, "I'm afraid it is hard to protect some and defeat others when both sides leave you in the dark. And I'm afraid I don't have time the moment to discus what we have found. I'll have to take a rain check. Tomorrow we will defiantly have time to speak. Good day Mr. Barron, good day everyone." As the pair turned to corner of the hall the pilots could almost here him commenting about Akira's possible surprise for the next day.
"Is it just me?" Duo said looking at his group, "or is that man a smooth talker."
