Chance had some time to herself and she had gotten together with Jamok. They caught up on the news and the events of each other's lives and Chance received a surprise. Jamok was being assigned to the Kaiba Corporation on temporary assignment because of a Virtual Reality training system the elder Kaiba was developing for the government.
Because of this news Chance relaxed a little more knowing that Jamok would do everything he could to ensure the security of the Kaiba Brothers while he was around them. She returned to her guarding of Mokuba and found that now that she was more relaxed, her job was a lot easier as she didn't have to force herself out of tunnel vision. She could kick back and take in the whole setting and that allowed her to keep a better eye on Mokuba when he was out with his friends after school.
The days he went down to play with the guys and Duke it was easy to ensure security. All she had to do was keep an eye on the door in particular and a general eye on the room. Everywhere else she seemed to have to keep her eyes everywhere to keep the problem spots covered. Going new places sent her into overdrive as she would be cataloguing threat points and escape points as well as watching the people and Mokuba.
Chance was sleeping peacefully again and the dreams that did bother her in the past, no longer had the power to disturb her sleep. It was as if something was keeping her mind distanced from the actual dream so that she would recognize it as a dream and continue with her night's sleep.
Jamok was also working hard. Mostly at what Chance had charged him to do while he was working in the Kaiba Corporation buildings. But he also had his own agenda that he had to fill out and he knew that if everything went as planned, he would be on his way out of the secret service and well on his way into the private sector. Something that would allow him time to work more with Chance and possibly get his foot in the door as a potential "guard" to Seto Kaiba.
He only had to get through this one assignment and continue with his contacts to ensure that his butt was covered. He knew that what was planned for the company was highly irregular, yet nothing in his directives forbade him from doing what he could to make the most of the situation. Pulling out his cell phone he started a phone call that would eventually lead to a meeting. A meeting that would change the lives of many people around him, including Chance.
That evening...
"Jamok, it is dangerous for you to call me so lightly. What is it that you want?" Like most meetings of this variety, it was taking place in an area with a lot of shadows in it to hide the benefactor.
"Not what I want, But information on something that you want." Jamok nearly teased as he raised an eyebrow.
"You know where the Millennium Rod is then?"
"Not only do I know where it is, but given time, I can probably get it for you with a minimal amount of fuss. That is what you wanted wasn't it?" Jamok smirked slightly. He now had an ace in the hole. His access to the Kaiba estates while he was with Seto Kaiba would provide him with the perfect cover to take the Millennium Rod with out endangering himself or his own agenda.
"You have provided us with accurate information in the past. This alone allows you the leeway for a short amount of time to accomplish whatever plan you have in mind. But be warned. I grow weary of waiting, I must have that artifact soon."
"You will have it, and I will soon be able to leave for the private sector thanks to the network you have helped to set up. We will all have what we want by the end of this." Jamok reassured the shadowy boss before turning with a smile and leaving the meeting place.
"Well, most of us anyway." The shadow rumbled after Jamok had left hearing range, a slight smirk coloring the words.
As Jamok worked with Seto on the security fail safes on the new training system for the government. He learned that this was a contract that Seto had originally been dead set against taking, but the government had put in failsafe clauses into the contract that had once again put Seto in charge of the technology that he was developing. His would be the only company that would be allowed to service or inspect the devices once they were completed and Kaiba Corp would provide the technicians that would train the agents that would use the virtual monitors for training.
Beyond that Jamok got to learn first hand that while Seto was willing to give a group a chance to prove themselves, he had no tolerance for multiple failures once word of success was given. Having learned from the mistakes of others before him, he made sure that he made no promises that he could not keep to the CEO. He was learning this lesson with Chance as well. Chance's tolerance for screw-ups on the job had gone from fairly flexible to nil. Security around the Kaiba Corp main offices were tighter than the Diet offices, and while the satellite offices weren't nearly as secure normally. Security stepped up to the Main Office's standards when Chance, Mokuba, or Kaiba were on the grounds for whatever reason.
Jamok was around to watch the final stages of the security step up. Not having been in the country when the episode that lead to Chance's injury happened at the Kaiba mansion. He could appreciate the effort she went through to get the world around the Kaiba Brothers secured, yet leaving them the freedom they had enjoyed before the break in. He smirked as these thoughts floated through his mind as he set up the final stages of his plan. He had already gotten the trust of the most important people to the plan's success; Chance and Seto.
With that trust, some of the long office nights had turned into dinner evenings at the Kaiba mansion which gave him the in to the building. Now all he needed was the reason to go to the upper office and he'd have the ability to get the Rod.
