Hello everyone! So glad that this weekend was three days, all thanks to Labor Day! I actually got some sleep! Lol, and I wrote another chappie for all of you guys. Hope you like!
Chapter 7: A trap?
Tired green eyes slowly opened, and a body slightly turned over to pick up the communicator that was ringing. Robin turned it on to hear Michael at the end of the line, "Sorry to wake you up Robin, but you need to come to the STN-J building in about thirty minutes. I think I finally have a lead on Matsuo." Robin just nodded, to tired to answer him back. She turned to look at the clock to see when she should start getting ready only to widen her eyes at the time of the clock. Its only 5:00am?! I just went to bed an hour or so ago... I may be acting selfish I know we must capture the witches, but still a girl still has to have her sleep!
Sighing sadly, Robin slowly got up and put her clothes on, and then went to go make herself a very strong cup of coffee. As she slowly sipped her coffee, thoughts of the pervious day came back to her. She remembered going to STN while in vain Michael hadn't been able to find Mastuo at the time, and having a late dinner at Harry's and eating with Amon of all people. When she remembered the happy looking couple at the stop light, her face sadden. Why does that affect me so? Why do I suddenly feel so alone? I never felt this way before. Perhaps, it's a side effect of the power that Mastuo gave me. Yes that has to be it. Though deep in the back of Robin's mind, she knew that wasn't the truth.
After finishing her coffee, Robin looked at the clock to see she only had fifteen minutes to get to the STN-J. Quickly writing a note to Tuoko, saying that she had gone to work early, and probably wouldn't be coming back till late again that night, she then rushed to the door and got a cab to take her there. Robin got there just in time as she walked in and sat down in the briefing room. She looked over to see Dojuma fast asleep, and across from her Sakaki looked like he was about to do the same. Surprisingly, Karasuma and Amon looked like they always did, wide away and ready to go whenever they were needed to. Don't those two ever need sleep? Wish I could be like that with only one peaceful hour of sleep...
Suddenly Michael came in he looked about ready to burst out all the information that he had just found out. He always does pride himself a little to much about being able to hack into anything, Robin thought.Michael not being able to wait any longer, suddenly started talking quiet fast, "After the incident dealing with Robin and Amon I have been working on finding were Mastuo could be hiding out at. At first I couldn't find anything, he had a pretty good firewall blocking me from finding out. It took me a while, but I finally was able to get in an catch a lead to him." Everyone just looked at Micahel with the same looks on there faces(even Amon! hehe) that said 'will you please just shut up and tell us already.' Gee.. Aren't we the cheerer bunch of people this morning, Michael thought.
Trying to ignore the tired looks of the members of the STN, Michael started to continue speaking at a slower pace, "As I was saying, I was able to hack into his data base, and find out where he was last located. Apparently he had gone to the airport late last night to book a flight a few days from now. I don't think he is actually planning on leaving just yet." Amon nodded his head, "more than likely the witch is planning a trap for us." Sakaki finally seemed to have gotten over his sleepy like state and started speaking, "but Amon I don't think its wise for you and little Robin here to be facing him, after the incident. We still don't know what he really did to you too." Robin was slightly surprised, Amon didn't tell them about the powers? Why would he do that? He usually reports in anything that happens.
Amon remained silent for a moment before answering coldly back, "What the witch did will not effect us going after him." Sakaki bit his lip to keep himself from asking further into the matter, clearly seeing that Amon didn't want to talk about it. Seeing that he wouldn't ask anything more about the subject Amon turned his attention to Michael, "Micahel have you been able to locate the plane that the witch is supposedly boarding?" "Not quite, I should be able to figure it out in a mere hour or so." A loud yawn was suddenly heard as everyone eyed the now awake Dojuma. She blinked in surprise to see them all just staring at her. "What? Did I miss something?" Sakaki just rolled his eyes and seemed to have murmured something along the lines of 'what a slacker'.
After the meeting in the brief room Michael quickly went to work at his computer, while the others decided to go to Harry's. Harry looked up from his cleaning to see all but to familiar faces walk through the door. "Hello everyone, I assume I shall be preparing the usually for you all?" Everyone just nodded apparently to tired to actually speak. Robin was grateful when Harry returned a few minutes later with a hot strong cup of coffee for them. "I still don't see why we had to get up so early," Dojuma wined. Sakaki let out a sigh, "quit your complaining, were all feeling the same thing, but its part of the job." Dojuma only reply back was a 'humph.'
After a lot of cups of coffee and food, the members of the STN slowly made there way back, hoping Michael would have found out by now. Michael was so focused on the computer he didn't notice that everyone had finally come back. "Michael," Amon said finally breaking Michael's trance from the computer. He seemed a little bit embarrassed, "Oh hey guys I didn't hear you come back." "Where you able to find out what flight that Mastuo will be boarding," Karasuma asked. He nodded his head proudly, "Sure did. He is planning on taking the last available flight time for America. Probably wanting to give us more time in making sure we would find him."
Robin
couldn't help but ask the question that was on the tip of her
tongue,
"But I thought that we couldn't go after a witch in
front of civilizes?" "Which is exactly why he picked such a
public place, though I doubt he would hesitate to attack them,"
Amon said. Robin just gave a simple 'oh' and then was silent for
the rest of the time. After finding out what flight he was boarding
and where, Amon thought it was best if everyone went and got some
sleep, while he went to go check the airport they would be visiting
in a few days. As Robin watched Amon walk to his car, something a
nagging little voice inside her head told her to go with him. Robin
was puzzled by this suddenly thought, but decided to follow it and so
she walked to Amon's car and opened the door and sat down.
Amon only gave her a quick glance, before turning the key and slowly driving off to the airport. A familiar lone figure in a dark room smiled manically. Yes, He thought, They are placing nicely into my trap. Oh I can hardly wait for the fun to begin!
And so ends another chapter! I hope that I'll be able to get in another this coming weekend. Let's hope so!
