Chapter Three
Five days have pasts since the STN-J have found out that their dear friends Robin was poisoned by orbo. Kosaka is still bed ridden at the medical wing and Robin still has not woken up. The STN-J visits her every day, not all together, mostly on their own free time.
Amon was at Harry's talking with Dojima over drinks one Friday afternoon. The workday just ended and they both happened to be going to the same place. They had agreed to go to see Robin together later after Harry's, but first they needed to refresh up on drinks. "I have a feeling I know who did this." Amon started. He was at the counter drinking his usual. Harry was out back somewhere cleaning, giving the whole dinner to Amon and Dojima's conversation. Dojima was in the booth behind Amon. "Really? Who?" Dojima stood up and started towards Amon when he stood up. "Touko. Zaizen had access to orbo and knew how to use it against witches. He's dead so it can't be him. Who else could possibly have a grudge against Robin and know how to defeat her without leaving a trace of evidence?" Amon's face was cold and hard.
Dojima gasped. He was right. She thought about it for a second and then realized that Amon was dating Touko for a while but left her to protect Robin. Now that Amon was with Robin, Touko was probably furious. Not to mention Touko had gotten hurt while HQ was hunting Robin. To top it off, Touko is Zaizen's daughter. And Robin had killed Zaizen during the fall of factory. Touko had a lot of revenge on her mind.
"But Amon, how do we prove it?" Dojima sat back down at her booth and Amon sat across from her. Harry came back out as another customer entered and sat at the other end of the counter away from Amon and Dojima. Amon and Dojima talked softer. They needed to make a plan to get Touko. They need the other STN-J member's help.
The next day, all the STN-J members, even Michael, met back at base to talk about the plan. Sakaki suggested they just bombard Touko and shoot the hell out of her using nothing but orbo bullets. "Give her a taste of her own medicine. Ouch. Why'd you hit me Karasuma?" Sakaki rubbed the back of his head where Karasuma's hand had hit him. "Be reasonable Sakaki. We are STN-J hunters. We need to hunt Touko down like we would hunt down a witch." Karasuma glared at Sakaki. "Thus the reason I said we shoot the hell out of her with orbo bullets. Isn't that what we do to wild witches?" Sakaki ducked as Karasuma went to hit him again
"Grow up Sakaki." Amon stated from across the meeting table. "I've got it!" Dojima grinned with joy. "Trick her into a trap." She smiled. "Wow! That's brilliant. Even for you Dojima." Sakaki was whacked by Karasuma and hit in the head by Dojima's bag. Amon managed to find a pencil and whipped it at Sakaki's head, hitting him right between the eyes. Michael just sighed. "Now I know why I'm just the computer guy and not the hunter. Having to put up with you guys all day on missions who drive me to drink." Michael smiled.
"So what's your plan Dojima?" Amon was leaning on his elbows with his hands together. He looked over at Dojima, as did the others. "Simple, stage it at my house. It's big enough. You guys hide throughout the house. We will all have some type of communication. I'll invite Touko over to talk like I have down in the past and I'll trick her into admitting what she did. And we will play it by ear from there." Dojima smiled and everyone agreed. Dojima called Touko on hr cell phone and set the date. "She's coming a week from today around noontime." Dojima was still smiling. Everyone left the base and headed over to Dojima's. They needed to set up.
At Dojima's house, Michael set up a small camera in the corner of the sunroom, the main hallway, kitchen, and living room. The hunters spread out and found places to hide. Amon took the downstairs closet, which was under the staircase. It was big enough for him to stand in and hold his gun at the ready. Sakaki took the downstairs linen closet which was just barley big enough, but he didn't mind the cramped up space. Karasuma took the back porch. Michael set up his small base upstairs in Dojima's father's old room. Since Dojima's father died three years ago Dojima had the whole big house to herself, which helped make this plan go more smoothly. He set up a monitor system so he could watch what was going on in the four rooms he had cameras in.
They had visited robin everyday like they always did. They asked the nurses to keep track of all Robin's visitors and to monitor all visits, even theirs. Robin wasn't getting any better. She was still very weak and very pale. Wendsday night, Amon visited robin alone and knelt by her bed side. He held her hand his his but his face never changed. He wanted so much for Robin to wake up and come back home with him but he knew the chances of that were slim. Before he left that night, he told Robin that he and the other STN-J are seeking out Touko. He told her that Touko did this to her. Amon knew Robin couldn't hear him, but it made him feel slightly beter that he could talk to her.
Thehunterswere all little nervous, even Amon, but they all knew this is what they had to do. They decided to contact HQ. They told HQ about their plan and what they were going to do. They agreed. But HQ wanted proof that Touko is the criminal. So Michael hooked up recording systems to his cameras so he could record the whole event. Thought out the week, they had practiced what they were to do. They were over Dojima's house everyday after work. Sakaki even brought in his baby cousin's Nerf™ guns on Wednesday so they could practice shooting their target. By Thursday, they had it down. Sakaki even had a few red marks from where Amon and Karasuma kept shooting him in the head as he came around the corner. Friday morning, Dojima picked up the hunters in her car and brought them to work. She was to drive them to her house at he end of the day and they were to spend the night. The car ride was cramped. Sakaki, Karasuma and Michael had to sit in the back of Dojima's small little Chevy Cavalier. Amon refused to sit in back so he got shotgun. Friday night, the hunters slept in their hiding spots. Michael did one last technical check around midnight, before he fell asleep.
Saturday morning, Dojima went around to each hiding place and brought the hunters something to eat. It was mostly just toast and small bottles of milk, but no one complained.
The hunters in hiding had a communicating system. Only Amon could talk to Dojima and Michael but they all could hear from Michael. Michael had a headset on that allowed him to hear from the hidden microphone under Dojima's shirt. Dojima had a small earplug in her ear, which was hidden by her hair. Michael was set upstairs with his four monitors. Everything was ready.
At 1145am, Touko arrived.
