---curiosity---
The ride home was quiet and awkward. Just like all the other times Amon had rescued her from the dark streets of Tokyo.Robin was still wondering, as the endless array of streetlights made her constantly squint,shielding her tired eyes why Amon's files were missing,just like him to be mysteriously absent. She wanted desperately to ask him if he knew but she already knew it was a stupid question. Then he'd actually know what she had been doing and the last person she wanted to see mad was him. Then the guilt set in again, Robin didn't understand, she hadn't actually looked at anything, just wandered.
Her upbringing had probably instilled this annoying habit of hers, though she never fully understood why see was made to feel shame at the smallest flaw, out burst. 'Preventative medicine', she thought , ' keeps us out of trouble I guess.' The car came to a hault, Robin stepped out and after her nod of thanks and a brief stare from Amon, it was gone.
'I'm going to have trouble waking up tomorrow, I should have known better.' There it went again, guilt. Walking into the elevator she thought to just sleep right there, she was exhausted now that she had nothing to do. Despite her guilt, she had already decided she would go to the files , maybe tomorrow, while Micheal went for lunch. Right now the only thing she wanted was her bed, or even the couch, whichever came first.
10:00 a.m. Sunday, November 22
Amon's drive to work was,like him, solemn. No coffee, no "good mornings". He only did what he had to, but he liked at least having something to think about on the way. 'Why was Robin still there so late at night?Why was she on the computers so late?' He tightented his grip on the wheel , 'she better have just been playing games.' Pulling into the parking lot, he parked and stepped out of the car.
11:00 a.m.
'Ring,ring,ring,ring'
Robin heard her phone and as she rolled over the couch to reach for it,(she knew it had been ringing for a while but wanted to avoid work for as long as possible), the sunlight caught her eye. "Nngh, so much sun, ww-hat time is it?",she looked at the display screen, "11:13?I knew it…", she answered the phone. "Yes."
"Robin, your late again, when did you go home?",it was Micheal. "Hurry up, Kosaka's gonna notice you not here soon, if you hurry I can still change your attendance so that your on time."
'click'
"Hmm, that was nice of him." Though she still knew that with her prayers and morning hygiene to do,it would take her an hour to get to work.
Back at work Micheal was filling in Robin's file on the sign-in sheet. 'What did you play Robin?' he said with a smirk, he had forgotten Robin had no idea how to use a computer. Checking her "assigned" computer's history he found nothing. A small sliver of panic struck him, 'what if…', he then chuckled to himself, 'if she can't open a game she can't open anything else.'He saw Amon walk past the foyer towards him.
"What are you laughing at?" he said in his monotone voice.
"Nothing much, just thought of something funny."he then slid his chair backwards to the case papers on the other side of his work station.Scanning through the papers he plucked one from the pile and handed it to Amon. "Remember that Mamoru kid?Somehow he escaped , they said he might be at the trainstation again.As soon as the rest get here you'll de debriefed and on your way, just have to set up the files to the debriefing room."Amon didn't like that Mamoru kid, not just because he was a witch but the fact that he was so young and could kill, kill without any regret. But this is his job and he has to deal with it, Amon merely nodded to Micheal then went to the entrance desk to take a few extra files he needed to finish off reports for. Micheal looked at his watch.
"12:12 pm"he grumbled. "I told her not to stay up so late, or maybe I forgot, hmm, oh well."Just then Robin walked in with a box of doughnuts in hand.
"I'm sorry I'm late.", she said as she , to Micheal's surprise, handed him the entire box.
"These…are all for me?"
"Yes, for allowing me to stay with you here when you were working."Micheal thought her gesture unnecessary but who's going to refuse a whole box of fattening pastries?
"Ummm, thanks." He said while taking the package from her. Robin gave a soft smile and while Micheal finished up the cases' data transfer, she sat down, first looking at what he was doing then turned to the computer from last night.
"I'm curious now." She whispered,staring at the screen.
