Okay, I think I may have been a bit later with this one but it rained today so I fell asleep. :) Seeing this progressing in my mind, hopefully it will pick up (I think I said that before but I mean it this time. -Laughs-) in the next chapter. -Winks-

Nagira scratched his head and yawned. It was about 2:45 in the morning and he was exhausted. He had been up all night looking into Amon and Robin's situation.

He wasn't taking any chances. While he seemed to be calm about it earlier, he was still worried. He found some...interesting...information. He had left his office about an hour after Amon and Robin had arrived to do some late night detective work, calling upon every contact he could find on such short notice. One of his contacts, Shin, a man of about 29, told him he heard some hunters were...eh..."missing" from Solomon. Missing. He didn't like that so he tried to check into it.

He didn't have a whole lot of luck as he dealt with contacts...not computers. Nagira was pretty good with them but this was straight up Michael shtick and he was getting desperate. He decided to go to bed and discuss things with Amon as soon as he woke up because without some help, he wasn't getting anywhere solid. He dragged himself over to the couch and flopped down on it, soon falling asleep.

"Wake up."

"Mmm.."

"Wake up."

"Go away..."

"Nagira, I don't have time for this. Get up."

Amon's voice broke through Nagira's peaceful sleep. Moaning, he sat up to see Amon standing by the couch waiting for him to get up. He looked to the clock on the wall to see that it was 7:15 in the morning.

"I was up late looking into things." Nagira groaned.

"What did you find?" Amon asked, getting right down to business. He wasn't waiting.

"Give me a minute to get some coffee, would ya? Geez..." Nagira said, standing up and stretching and then yawning again. He walked out of the room he had been in and went straight towards the coffee pot, Amon following him out and taking a seat on the couch. Nagira turned around to face Amon sipping a cup of coffee.

"Where's Robin?"

"In bed."

"You aren't going to wait for her?"

"No, I'll tell her later."

Nagira shook his head at this.

"What?" Amon asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all..."

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Well, I was just thinking...Robin probably likes to be in the know and you are keeping her out of it, treating her like a kid."

"She's 15, she is a kid."

Nagira laughed. "Yeah, technically but she's a damn smart one and mature to boot...I don't think she'll like being kept out of the loop like this but whatever you say." Nagira took a sip of his coffee and sat down on the chair and turned to Amon.

"Well, I found out that some Solomon hunters are supposed to be missing."

"Missing?"

"Yeah and not in the sense of 'missing and presumed dead', just missing like they got up and left. I figured that could mean something considering that hunters don't usually just go missing."

"What else did you find out?" Amon asked wanting to get to the bottom of things. There was no way in hell he was going to just sit there if hunters were coming for them.

"Nothing. I can't get anything from that piece of junk you call a computer...that isn't my area, Solomon is too closed up, my info comes from the grapevine. All I could get was that they aren't around which is why it might be smart to let Michael in on things even though you wanted to keep them in the dark about what's going on."

"No, I'll deal with it, I can find the information on my own."

"Alright but don't hold off on asking for help if you need it, you could end up getting yourself in a sticky situation."

Robin awoke at about 9:30, feeling relaxed and better about things but then again, it could have been because she woke up in Nagira's office and not a hotel room. As long Nagira was around, things weren't too bad as he lightened the mood. She got up and put her clothes on having taken them off the night before, finally able to sleep as she normally would. She saw Amon sitting on the couch with his laptop and went to him.

"Where's Nagira?" she asked.

"He went out to find more information." he said, not offering her anything else.

"Oh..." She felt he knew more but she didn't know how to go about asking him. She figured it would be best to sit and wait although it did bother her that he didn't trust her. She was his partner and he said she was his friend but he still didn't trust her with such things. She figured it had nothing to do with being a craft user or a witch or whatever it is she is but instead, it had to do with her age and him not trusting such things to anyone but himself. Hopefully, that would change.

Not knowing what else to do and now feeling awkward, she went to get a cup of coffee. She went back to where Amon was and not feeling comfortable enough to sit beside him, sat in the chair. Thankfully, Nagira chose then to return and Robin sighed inwardly.

"Ah, sleeping beauty is up. Hungry?" Nagira asked cheerily.

Robin shook her head and went to him, taking a carton of food he handed her.

"I thought you were looking for information." Amon said, stating it rather than asking.

"Well, I was but I couldn't get anything and the few contacts I have left are either not around or clueless so...did you find anything?"

"I found the names of several hunters that haven't shown up for a while, all of them having disappeared after the fall of the Factory."

"You don't think they are after..."

Robin, sitting back down on the chair, couldn't help but feel somewhat...stupid. Here she was, sitting and eating, being completely ignored even though this concerned her. Hell, it basically started with and focused on her. Had she not even come around, this wouldn't have been happening...they were after her and if they were after him it was because he was helping her, the least he could do was include her. Shaking those thoughts from her head immediately, she felt a bit guilty. She may have felt left out but he was giving his life to protect her...he was no longer a hunter and could very well be the hunted. That man could inspire so many contradicting feelings and thoughts within her that it was crazy...

"...you guys do you?"

"I think it is highly likely that they are. It isn't impossible that they are, Solomon isn't the best for keeping track of everything and everyone within it."

"What do we do?" Robin's quiet voice making both men turn to her.

Amon having no answer yet let Nagira field this one.

"Well, I would say you could stay here but I think my place isn't the best place to be if someone really is after you. I'm suspicious enough as it is, helping witches left and right out, so it would probably be best for you to split. I'm not sure if you should leave the area or Japan though."

"Leave Japan? Wouldn't it be best to stay and wait to see if someone really is after us? Leaving is a bit too much right now, isn't it?" Robin asked, finally feeling like she was involved.

"I suppose you are right, it would be better for us to stay here before making such a desperate move as to leave the country." Amon replied, making Robin turn from Nagira to him. They both locked eyes and for a split second, Amon's expression softened. Nagira caught this..."Aw, how cute, little brother has a crush" he thought.

"So, it's settled" Nagira said clapping his hands together and then rubbing them. "We find a place for you two to go and keep our eyes and ears open."

Shaking their heads yes, they agreed that that would be the next step.
