The sound of a man coughing made the two of them turn around and they found a pair of men dressed in old military equipment looking at them.
One of them walked past them and looked at the sign that was in front of the factory, he smirked before waving at his partner to go and look at it. the two men laughed before they knocked on the factory wall.
"Be right with you!" she heard Kazuma answer
One of the men turned to look back at her and Sasha "So you're still willing to do anything people pay you, how about if we pay you girls to give us a privet dance?" he says to them.
'Not unless they agree to it, and by that I mean we don't do that here." Kazuma answers him, but his words only makes the two men laugh.
"Good you're here, we have a message from the Night City Police, [ N.C.P. The man says to Kazuma before he reaches into his pocket and takes out a folded sheet of paper.
"This isn't over." he says to Kazuma before handing him the letter, Kazuma looks at the words written on it before throwing it over his shoulder.
The two men look past Kazuma and begin to look inside the factory, Gloria watches as the two begin to walk in before they both start whistling.
"Looks like you've been busy." the gang member says to Kazuma, before stopping near Aqua and passing his tongue between his lips.
Aqua smiles at the man and Gloria briefly wonders if she doesn't know what the man is imagining.
"Aqua." she calls out to her only for Aqua to put her hands behind her back and wave at her.
"It's okay, if it's the entire world or Kazuma, as long as I'm with Kazuma I know I'll be safe, and if he can't save me, well I feel sorry for the world." Aqua says to her.
Normally Gloria would have ignored the young woman's words as something coming from someone that didn't know any better, but Aqua seemed so certain that Kazuma was such a threat that anything and anyone that tried\ did hurt her wouldn't survive that she stopped herself from saying anything else.
The two members of the 6th street gang only laughed at Aqua's words.
Gloria watched as the man that stood near Aqua reached out to grab her, but before he could so much as move a single hair on her head, Kazuma stood between them.
He grabbed the man's hands and looked him in the eyes without saying anything, stared at each other for what felt like a long moment.
Gloria found herself wondering when Kazuma had even moved, she was sure that he had been standing near the other man, but if that was true, then that meant he had moved so fast that by the time it took her to blink and he had managed to move from one side of the factory to the other.
"We've just started fixing the place, but someone tried to kill us, you wouldn't know anything about that?" Kazuma says to the two as he pointed at the remains of the drones.
"Not our problem." The man answers Kazuma as he pulls his hand free and his partner walks up to them.
The three men locked eyes and Gloria worried that something was about to happen, none of them said anything, but again nothing happened.
If Gloria had to describe everything she had just seen, then she would say that the two men were trying to see if Kazuma was a threat, and the fact that they were walking out of the factory meant that they had their answer.
She watched as the two men began to look for something they could use to sit on, before they gave up and sat on the pieces of concrete that fell off the factory's walls.
Now that the guards had given up trying to intimidate everyone, and seeing as no one had arrived yet, Gloria grabbed a broom and started helping Aqua and Kazuma clean.
She had expected Sasha to continue trying to get information from the drones but she must have given up considering that she grabbed the remaining broom and started helping them clean.
"Hey look at what I found!" she heard Kazuma says to them and as Gloria turned to see what he found, she noticed that he was holding a Brain Dance Headset.
She watched as Kazuma put it on, but considering that nothing happened she figured that it was either broken or just ran out of batteries.
"Do you want me to see if I can fix it?" Sasha asks Kazuma, as she asks him for the headset.
"Sure but what is it?" Kazuma asks her.
Gloria didn't say anything, as this was one of those situations that didn't make sense about Kazuma and Aqua, everyone knew what Brain Dance was, and yet Kazuma didn't recognize the headset.
"It makes you see what other people saw, so you can see their memories and feel what they felt, but since it shows you people's memories you can't change anything." Sasha answers Kazuma.
Kazuma stares at the headset. before taking out his tablet and handing it to Sasha.
"Can you connect it to my tablet so I don't have to take it out of the time?" He asks Sasha who just smiles and says that she doesn't promise anything.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I heard that you people are willing to do almost any job." A member of the N.C.P. says as he walks into the factory, as he walks up to them Gloria sees that one of the guards has his gun aimed at the police officer's back.
"A bit early don't you think?" Kazuma says to the man who raises his left hand while at the same time he uses his right to hand Kazuma a yellow folder.
"I had nothing to do with what happened yesterday, but see what's inside and you'll see why I can't trust the rest of the N.C.P." the man says to Kazuma.
Gloria watches as Kazuma opens the folder and begins to turn one page after another, he only looks at each page for a moment before he hands the folder to Sasha who does the same.
Sasha then hands her the folder ad Gloria found herself looking at the pictures of missing children, next to the pictures is all of the children's information.
"Whenever we get close we're ordered to stop investigating, but I can't keep telling people that we can't find them." the police officer says to them.
"Sounds like you already know who it is." Kazuma says to the man.
"No, but I have an idea."
"All that I'm asking you to do is find them, I'll handle the rest." The police officer says to Kazuma.
"How much are you paying?" Kazuma asks the man.
The man's eyes flicker for a moment and Glorias can't help but widen her eyes as she sees the amount in front of her.
"That's all I have." the ma says to them.
"Okay I'll do it, I just need three things, your name, somewhere I can meet you, and every place you went to when you were ordered to stop looking." Kazuma says to the man who immediately nods.
