After a long time off the air Calibur Noir Returns, Welcome again to the continuing adventures of Kilik: P.I. Our story begins from where we last left off, Kilik waits for Taki outside of his apartment.

Infiltration

"Okay where is she Nightmare?" I said out loud to no one in particular glancing over at my "Partner" if you could call him that and notice that he's occupying himself with a toilet paper roll and a half-eaten apple core.

"Astronaut, fly in space, skeeeeeew patchooooo pooow" With overexaggerated movements the two "astronauts" fly around deep space apartment.

"Nevermind" Glancing around I pretend that I'm in no way connected to the full grown adult playing with trash as several people quickly pass by hiding their horror.

Suddenly a shadow detaches itself from behind Nightmare and stalks slowly forward.

"What in the hell are you two doing." A hard feminine voice spoke from the shadow.

"Ahh Taki good to hear..."

"Don't give me that good to hear shit, the only reason you called is that you need a favor."

"Hey! That's not true...I...I...um...well...okay seriously, I need the blue prints on the downtown building that the Company owns.

"Oh yeah well I need something too, 100 up front."

I choked as the two astronauts collided with a big paper meteor. "One hundred, you gotta be kidding me!" I sputtered fuming with anger.

Taki looked past me and flipped her hair in defiance of my anger. "Let's go talk in that resturant over there." she pointed past me towards the small diner adjacent to my apartment. Setting aside my feelings of anger and confusion about Nightmare's new fixation with space and garbage I stalked off toward the diner. Nightmare pocketed his "friends" and followed after us making spaceship noises.

Once inside the diner we all gathered around a booth and ordered. The waitress was friendly and smiled at us all, even to Nightmare (Wow she's earned her tip!). I ordered a cup of coffee and Taki ordered the ham and eggs, when the waitress turned to Nightmare (She's still smiling, she must be mentally retarded or something, thats impossible.) he took a deep breath.

"Me want the frozen Mocha latte with hint of caramel with biscotti on side." I stared open mouthed at Nightmare unable to believe my ears. The waitress merely shrugged (She's gotta be a robot or something, theres no way anyone can be that calm) and tripped off towards the kitchen. Unabe to comprehend rational thought after such a vulger display of intelligence, I just said yes to whatever Taki said.

"So we agree then?" Taki said with a sneer.

"Huh...Yeah Whatever" I said quickly. My logic was slowly trying to tell me something but it could not break through the fog Nightmare's knowledge of coffee had created.

"So your gonna pay me two hundred, with one hundred up front and your gonna pick up the tab."

"Uhh huh sure." I said even though my mental faculties screamed a warning.

Finally our food arrived and I was forced to focus on something other than Nightmare's face. As the elite coffee drink was set before him I studied him closely. Nightmare opened the biscotti package and quickly wolfed it down and then set his gaze on the swirling concoction before him. Reaching down with the utmost pricision, Nightmare's hideously deformed hand grasped the drink. Without warning his pinky flew up and knocked a menu off the table. I stared in horror as he raised the glass to his nose and inhaled deeply. I sat mortified as he prepared to drink "pinky up", but as he tilted the glass to his lips he inadvertantly stabbed himself in the eye with his monstrous pinky.

"REEEEEEAAAAAAARGGGHGHGHGGHGHGH!" Nightmare screamed and threw his drink where it shattered against an adjacent wall.

Many hours later, after we vacated the diner and I realized all the things I had agreed to, I found myself lying on the sofa in my apartment. With Nightmare laying sprawled out on the floor. I contemplated calling the whole thing off and doing the job myself. Oddly enough it felt good to be working with Taki again, takes me back to the days when I was a well known P.I. and used to do this kind of stuff all the time. Oh well the past's the past and all that jazz, I'm going to bed if I can find a way past Nightmare's Absurdly loud snoring.

Well thats all for today's show, sorry so short but its hard to work and type at the same time. Tune in next time for: Taki: Spy hard
