Through the nearby window moonlight broke the dark of the living area of Sousuke Sagara's apartment. The couch was comfortable for him tonight, but he was a bit paranoid as it was. Weber had told him that he was going to get more recon info on the boyfriend of Kaname. That was about two days ago now. Something must have gone wrong, but Sousuke had no way of providing backup to his comrade.
The turn of the apartment's doorknob brought Sousuke to attention and his gun to his hand. He was itching to fire it, but when Kurz stepped into the sights he halted. He did not lower the gun though, which should have nerved the blonde man.
The two men stared at one another in silence, and Sousuke finally lowered the weapon. "So…where have you been?" The Japanese man questioned.
"What do you mean?" Kurz wondered.
"Well, a short recon is not two days."
"Oh, that…"
"Well, what happened Weber?" Sousuke ordered.
"Uh…say, I'm a bit tired. Why don't I tell you about it later?"
Sousuke did not even blink. "So you went to a lady friend of Kaname Chidori, bedded said friend of Kaname, and woke up to her boyfriend who was rather angered and red in the face. Following such waking, you ran away with your tail between the legs."
Kurz toppled over as he was hit by the truth of Sosuke's theory. It was so accurate, it was scary.
Kurz stood back up weakly and gave a nervous laugh. "Let me explain it better for you."
"Go on." Sousuke crossed his arms while retaining his disaffected stare.
"Well, you were correct, I decided the best way to get info on Miss Chidori's beau was to go through a friend of the blue-haired woman we both know and you desperately love."
Sousuke did not react.
"Anyway, I did find Kaname's girl friend."
"Wait…" Sousuke almost faltered. "Not only does Chidori have a boyfriend, but she is also dating...a...a...woman?"
Kurz just let out a nervous chuckle.
"Tell me now Weber!"
"Dude, I meant it as a friend that is a girl. Did you not know you can call them girlfriends as well? It's the literal translation."
"Oh…"
"Yeah…"
Sousuke recovered his composure. "Ahem. Continue."
"Well, as I said, I found the friend of Chidori, and I talked with her, and we got…physical. And well, dog-gone it, wouldn't you know she already had a boyfriend, and I do mean boyfriend, and not a boy that is a friend."
"I pretty much figured that, based on what luck you have."
"Hey, luck is just something we believe in so that we can explain how the person we don't like won." Kurz sternly declared.
"Uh-huh." Sousuke said in disbelief.
"Anyway, right, well I was found by the furious boyfriend, but I was not chased away, and I did not run."
Sousuke raised an eyebrow. "You…weren't chased at, yelled at, or fought?"
"No, he…he…asked me to consider a threesome…"
"I'm guessing it was MMF and not MFM based upon the black eye you wear." Sousuke quipped.
"I really didn't think a closet homosexual could be so ruthless." The blonde muttered, shaking his head in his hands.
"Okay, that tells me about where you were from the time you left me until the next morning, but what about all of yesterday?"
"Well, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Kurz noted.
Sosuke's face went sour. "You went after another one of Kaname's friends?"
"Do you have to say it with such a tone?" Kurz complained.
"So, did you succeed this time, or was it a case of 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use in being a fool about it.'?"
"No, more like 'If at first you don't succeed, erase any trace that you did.'."
"You didn't kill anybody?"
"No…but…that second woman…she kicked my ass pretty bad." Kurz muttered.
"Even more than Mao?"
"Yessum." Kurz hid his face out of embarrassment, but it really could not matter at this point. Plus, Sousuke was one person who has already seen enough of his antics.
"Was that all? What happened to you the rest of the day?"
"Well, I had to evade some…shadows…"
"The police, the second woman having called them on ground of sexual harassment or some other reason." Sousuke translated.
Kurz cringed. "Anyway…now I'm back here."
"So…did you get any info at all about Kaname's boyfriend?" Sousuke finally questioned.
"No. Not at all, no."
Sousuke drew in a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh.
