Witch Hunter Robin
Rebuilding from the rubble
Chapter 13
Stephie's revenge
A fanfic by Prospero53223
" Robin pack it up you got duty in forty five minutes." Anon reminded her in a scolding tone as Robin sewed up the last few inches of Cathy's costume for the masquerade, which was now only five days away.
" I know, I know," She replied in a rush while Cathy waited for Robin to hand her the four costumes she just finished that day so she could rush them to the dry cleaners. " Ok, there it's done; you still have everyone's share for the dry cleaning right?"
Cathy nodded her head as she grabbed the costumes and ran out of the laundry room, up the stairs and out the door to the base dry cleaners. Leigh was kind enough to bring the sewing machine back to her room while Robin made a mad dash upstairs to the front desk for duty before she was late.
" Sena those damn costumes better be done cause this is the last time I ever let you cut it this close; there is a reason we have the duty show up fifteen minutes early." The barracks manager barked at Robin for the third time in two weeks.
" Yes sir, sorry sir, I just finished them sir." Robin said as she slid behind the front desk.
The barracks manager grunted out a good as he grabbed the keys so he could make his hourly rounds through the barracks just as the phone rang. " Building seventeen twenty five S class Sena speaking how may I help you sir or ma'am."
" Amon please." It was John.
" Yes Senior Hunter John I believe he's in the lounge." Steven happened to be walking by so Robin asked him to get Amon for her since she couldn't leave the front desk while the barracks manager was on rounds.
Sure enough Steven was able to find Amon in the lounge and had a near miss collusion with Cathy as she ran back into the barracks since it had started to storm.
" Sorry Amon." Cathy yelled out with a bit of a laugh since she felt a little silly about not watching where she was going while Robin handed him the phone.
" Amon, yes, uh huh, I see, yes, ok then we will meet you in the lounge, thank you." Amon had hung up the phone and shook his head before looking over at Robin.
Robin let out a sigh she knew the short conversation she had with John was bad she could tell by the expression he wore on his face. " Let me guess I have to stand Stephie's duty? " Amon nodded his head before he gave Robin the rest of the bad news, " And we have to meet with him when you get off both duties."
" What about? " Robin asked thinking it had something to do with the class in general.
" I guess after I didn't come back to the bowling ally last night Stephie came looking for me and..." Amon paused when he saw Robin's jaw hit the floor.
" You have got to be kidding? " Robin felt crushed
" I wish I was," Amon paused yet again to clear his throat. " And we have to go and sit through one of John's speech on public displays of affection and how we are the student leaders and we should know better. " Amon repeated what John told him.
" This is such, such, such… kuso." Robin blurted out in frustration.
" Robin!" Amon said in shock yet amused tone; she never curses.
" Well it is." Robin replied meekly back since her own outburst surprised her just as much.
" I'm not arguing that just don't take a page out of my book your too sweet." Robin blushed and lowered her eyes as she apologized for her language, " You are right, mescusare."
" Temae yurushi Robin." Amon said as he smiled at her, " I'll buy you dinner since you're stuck here for the next eight hours."
" No, I'll put my share in for dinner." Robin said as she went for her wallet while Amon started to protest when the lounge was suddenly flooded with very loud music from some of the students in the new class. Robin and Amon just rolled their eyes while they wondered if these kids would ever get the concept of noise pollution.
" Yo, yo, turn that shit up, yeah that's it, now lets hit this beat."
" I really, really hate the new class and this song, rap, what ever you call it." Amon said through clenched teeth.
Robin nodded her head in agreement. " Well hopefully the barracks manager will let me burn it."
" You're damn right I am." The barracks manager yelled as he came back from his rounds joining Robin at the front desk.
Robin smiled as she got up while the barracks manager grumbled some more about kids these days and the music they listen too.
To the kids in the new class someone from the duty griping to them about there music being too loud was almost a form of entertainment for them, especially when Robin came to gripe. Twice she had set some of their cd's on fire with her craft. The newer students always thought that it was wicked cool to see Robin use her craft well all but the guy who was out of the money and a cd.
" Ok you guys same old story different day, lower it, bring it to your room and blare it, or I burn it." The kids protested as always as Robin leaned in to turn off the shared stereo system in the barracks lounge; that was until Brooklyn came running in and stopped her. " No wait just a minuet."
" What Joe? Is this your cd? Is that why you don't want it burnt?" Robin asked Joe as the young man waved his hand to shush her.
" No just, wait five, four, three, two, one." Stephie entered the lounge right on cue.
" You pathetic loser and this rap crap no wonder you can't..." She was cut off when Joe and the rest of the guys by the stereo surrounded Stephie and started to rap along.
" What I need is ho who knows her place who shuts up and pulls her weight. Not some lazy skank who don't do shit, sits on her ass while I work all day. Takes the credit for the shit I do thinking that she owns the world. That isn't a bitch on the planet I wouldn't screw, well wait yes there is. I sure in hell wouldn't screw you."
Stephie stood there so angry that tears formed in her eyes as Robin jaw once again dropped to the ground as she stood there in total and utter disbelief. Everyone else though that was present in the lounge cheered including the barracks manager; Stephie had gotten what she deserved.
" I'm calling MY DADDY." Stephie shrieked as she ran out of the lounge and to her room so she could cry.
" Ok guys fun's over turn this shit off or Sena will be burning it." The barracks manager barked. The boys listened and did as they were told while Robin on the other had finally found a reason to listen to rap music now; and wondered how many more songs like that were out there that she personally could bully Stephie with. Then again Robin really only entertained that thought for about a half a nanosecond before deciding against doing something that harsh.
" Brooklyn that was defiantly out of line." Amon said to Joe as he walked by.
" Dam homes how can say that after all the shit she's put you and Robin through not to mention the rest of the class man this was nothing." Joe said in his own defense.
" It would be nothing," Amon began to say, " If it just stayed with in the class and not involved the whole barracks."
Amon was right, Joe knew it but he wasn't going to tell Stephie he was sorry no one would tell Stephie that not even if their lives depended on it. " Man she harasses everyone forget her maybe this dose of her own medicine will make her wake up."
" Or get us into a lot more trouble." Robin spoke up and was now standing by Amon's side. "Plus you forget, I have to room with her granted that was nicely planed I will give you that. By the way how did you know she was here?"
" Oh, yeah that's right. " Joe said as he ran a hand through his hair, " Cathy said she saw Stephie pull up when she was going to the dry cleaners and yelled at her about steeling her maid who wouldn't make her costume like she told you to do and how she was going to put in a complaint about you and Amon to her dad. You know the usual stuff; so the rest of the guys from the other classes and myself decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. Besides with the storm where was she going to go anyway no one can see two inches in front of them on the road."
Robin nodded her head as she shrugged her shoulder and walked back to the front desk leaving behind a very surprised Amon that she would even condone such a prank. Then again he wasn't all that surprised but still surprised nonetheless that Robin was starting to pick up on some of his characteristics. Not that that was a bad thing either but the ice he felt when she shrugged Joes prank off like that made him shiver. " Robin, look I can't say I blame you and everyone else in their; hell I would have joined in too if I knew what was going on to be honest but to just shrug it off like nothing..."
" Amon I didn't know what was going on until it happened and if I may say in my own defense I was pretty shocked." Robin cut in to say.
" I know that but you've never been that cold to anyone." Amon finished what he was going to say in the first place as Robin nodded her head, " I know but it was really more of a reaction. "
" LOUNGE NOW!" John yelled as he came into the barracks regardless of the storm; not to mention that he was pissed since he didn't like getting phone calls from Stephie's dad especially twice in one day.
Robin and Amon did as they were told and ran into the lounge as Stephie haughtily walked in behind them her face tear streaked while she still managed to make eyes at Amon.
" WHO THE HELL WAS IN HERE WHEN A CERTIAN INCADENT HAPPEND WITH SOME BOYS HARRASSING STEPHIE MILLER?" John yelled causing everyone in the lounge to freeze while a brave few raised his or her hand.
" Fine those NOT from my class will one by one give me your name so that I can pass it along to your instructors. Those in my class stay put that includes you Sena the barracks manager can watch the front desk on his own for a few minutes." Robin nodded her head as the recruits gave John their names, class, and the names of their class instructors. When that little choir was done the only people left in the lounge were Joe, Amon, Robin, Stephie, and of course John.
" Sena, Amon-san I expected more from the both of you." John was going to start to tear into them when Joe spoke up.
" They didn't know what was going on sir." Joe said, he was willing to take the blame for the whole incident so no one else would get into any trouble.
" Repeat that Brooklyn." John ordered.
" They didn't know what was going on sir I planed it the whole thing and talked some of the guys from the other classes in to doing this as well seeing how Stephie had also been harassing them." Joe elaborated some more from his original statement
" I don't harass filth like you, I'm special." Stephie said her nose all stuffed up from crying and fighting back sobs.
" Special ed's more like it." Joe shot back
Stephie gasped in surprise as drama queen tears started to flow from her eyes while at the same time trying to sob on Amon's shoulder which thankfully for his height and quick feet Amon was able to sidestep.
" I think I now see the reason for the other complaint." John said in a dry tone.
" Sir, I have a witness who says Stephie told her way she called and made the first complaint." Joe said as he stood at attention while addressing John.
"We'll address that problem in just a minuet." John said as he looked back at Amon and Robin.
"This incident I assume will be logged correctly Sean?" It wasn't really a question that came from John's mouth but an order.
" Sir yes, it will be sir." Robin answered as she now stood at attention.
" Amon-san, I'm sure you and the barracks manager can find an approbate punishment for Joe here to do along with a formal in house consoling that I want to have on my desk by end of business day tomorrow." John's voice was now calm and even as he gave his orders.
" NO! THATS NOT FAIR!" Stephie yelled
" Well it's my decision." John told the Stephie
" DADDY TOLD YOU TO KICK JOE OUT AND TO REMOVE ROBIN FROM HER POSTION AND LET ME HAVE IT!" More yelling came from the young woman's mouth, which really had no effect on anyone.
" That's not happing you don't even have the grades that the school requires for Robin's position as a class leader; not to mention the last time I checked your daddy doesn't run this school." John tried to remain calm really he did but Stephie was working on his very last nerve.
" BUT THATS WHAT I WANT AND I GET WHAT I WANT!" Still more yelling which scared no one but it was the straw that broke the camels back.
" Stephie I want you in your uniform and in the instructors office bright and early tomorrow so we may begin your discipline review board with the school commander." John's voice was now dangerously calm.
" NO!" Stephie spat out.
" What did you say recruit?" John's voice was starting to tilt from dangerously calm to yelling.
" What are you deaf I said NO!" Stephie was now officially in John's book done for.
" Ok fine, Robin you're excused and while you are at the front desk call the base police and have them escort Stephie out of the barracks. Oh and while your at it get the barracks manager to help detain her. Joe you are also excused until base police get here. I will have Amon come and get you and your witness to what Stephie had said before she goes." Both Robin and Joe nodded their heads and did as John told them to do while Amon restrained Stephie from leaving the lounge until the barracks manager came into help.
Stephie tried calling her daddy yet again causing John to confiscate her cell phone. She would just have to wait to make her phone call when she got down to the on base police station.
When the base police arrived Amon went to go and get Joe with Cathy who was Joe's witness followed right behind them. She then proceeded to tell John what Stephie had said to her out in the parking lot while Amon and Joe told the police what had happened in the barracks. Stephie had called everyone a liar while insisting she did nothing of the sort. When all was said and done though the police had agreed with the evidence they where presented with. They agreed that Stephie did break a lawful order under the rules that SOLOMON had put forward for recruits and hunter trainers. Stephie was then in her opinion handcuffed like a common criminal and hauled off to the police station where she would more then likely spend the night in the base holding cell.
Robin was still at the front desk logging in everything that accrued with in the past two hours when the barracks manager was finally able to came back to the front desk.
" Sena I'll finish this up John needs to speak with you now." Robin nodded and left the front desk yet again to speak with John.
" Look you two this is going to be real quick," John began to say after he gave Robin the sign to have a seat. " I don't care what you two have going on cause that's between you two, but since it has been brought to my attention via complaint from Stephie's father. " John had to pause for a second since he had a feeling that an ulcer was about to form at the mention of Stephie's name. "I'm just going to ask that the both of you to think a little more clearly next time before you decide to lock lips in public is that to be understood."
The both of them nodded their heads in agreement, " Yes sir."
" Good now if I can just go through the rest of the night with out a phone call from the Millers I can probably cancel my cardiologist appointment." John grumbled out loud as he left the barracks. The only good news for him being that the storm had calmed down a bit which let John drive a hell of a lot more safely this time.
Fifteen minutes later the lounge was flooded with students again listing to music and watching the latest movie on the TV while gossiping about what happened with class five nine three until ten O'clock when the order for lights out was given.
Robin was relieved from duty by Daria and decided to play a million and one questions about what had happened before letting her go for the night. When Robin finally did get to her room it thankfully wasn't trashed but Stephie did write on the mirror with her lipstick the word slut on it for Robin to see when she got in.
