Chapter 4: 1st Investigation
Blank sighs as he continues to wake up Zidane, but seems to be having quite a difficulty. Little Mr. Monkey boy is still on his bed, mumbling about something, still on his covers, while Blank is already ready with his wig and busts and a girly outfit.
"Zidane, wake up already!" Blank exclaims, furiously rocking his partner, but to no effect. "God, now I know why Mikoto is having a bad time waking you up early in the morning!" Blank sighs, shaking his head of pity. Then, he turns to Zidane and yells, "Zidane, WAKE UP!"
Zidane stirs a little and turns around to face Blank, eyes still closed. He yawns and mutters something, "Just a minute, Garnet, honey…" then, he turns around again to face the other side.
Blank gives him an odd look as he asks himself, "Garnet… honey…? What the hell –" then he sighs as he says to personally, "Man, this is the second time he's been dreaming about this Garnet girl! He must be REALLY in LOVE with her…" he shakes his head again. "Poor Garnet… I pity her to have such a stupid moron for an admirer."
Then, Blank takes a deep breath as he yells in Zidane's ear, "ZIDANE! GARNET IS CHEATING ON YOU!" Immediately, Zidane sits up with eyes narrowed and angry. Blank smirks, well, that seems to work!
Zidane turns to Blank and asks, "Is it true, Blank?" Blank was surprised to see tears dwelling up in his partner's eyes that he can't speak and starts to stammer. "T-then it is true! BAAAA! WAAAA!"
Blank slaps his forehead and exclaims to his partner angrily, "NO, Zidane, it isn't true! Now, STOP BAWLING! For Pete's Sake, stop being so immature!" he tosses Zidane some clothes, his bust and his wig. "Now get dressed up. We're going to continue this mission."
Zidane looks at the items in his hands and glares at Blank, "I understand we have to continue our mission but do you really have to yell at me?" Blank turns to him and shakes his head of pity. "Eh? What are you shaking your head about?"
"You, Zidane," Blank replies with a sigh. "Look, for the past 20 minutes, I have been yelling at you to wake up, no effect." Zidane expressionlessly stares at him. "Then, you start dreaming about Garnet, and an idea came up to me and I told you that is NOT true, that Garnet is cheating on you, which worked." Blank turns around and starts walking to the kitchen. "Now, DRESS UP!"
Zidane rolls his eyes and mutters, "Yeah, yeah, whatever…" he stands up and walks to the bathroom to change. He opens the door and closes it with a loud slam. "No need to be grumpy…
Blank sighs as he spills hot water in his Milo (A/n: Ever heard of that chocolate drink?) chocolate drink, which he likes to drink when it's warm. He pulls a chair and relaxes as he sits down,
On our first day here, I already hate it, he frowns as he takes a sip. Worse, why do I have to be set up with Zidane? Sure, he has the highest rank of being an agent, aside from me, but that doesn't mean I have to put up with him.
He sighs again as he says to himself, "Guess I have to live with it."
"Live with what?" a familiar voice asks behind him, making Blank choke on his Milo drink. The voice behind him laughs hard as Blank wipes the Milo stain from his face.
"Zidane Tribal! Don't you have anything else to do than bother me?" Blank exclaims, clenching his fist as he turns around and glares at the blonde man before him, who seems to be already dressed up.
Zidane smirks as he fixes his blonde wig, and crosses his arms in front of his fake breasts. "What are you talking about, man? I just asked you a simple question! Does a question already bother you?"
"No! Just DON'T scare me like that!" Blank says angrily, as he picks up a clean rag and cleans the mess on the table. "Anyways, are you already finished with that yet?" Blank asks, as he points to Zidane's busts, which seem disfigured. "You better fix that out before anyone thinks you're abnormal, which you are already are."
"Hey! You take that back!" Zidane says, as he sticks out his tongue. "Anyways," he grins as he looks at his 'boobies'. "I don't mind it disfigured. Kind of reminds me of mom at home…Hehehe!"
"Whatever," Blank mutters as he rolls his eyes. Soon, they left their dorm room and starts walking around the halls. It was half-empty, seeing almost the girls run off to the mall. "Good. It's clear," Blank whispers as they continue to move along the corridors.
"Where do we head first?" Zidane whispers, looking around, secretly scratching his butt. Blank notices this and glares at him. "What are you glaring at?"
Blank rolls his eyes and crosses his arms in front of him. He looks Zidane sharply at the eye as he spats out, "Will you PLEASE get your puny hands off your butt? It's disgusting to look at! Don't make things worse as it is, Zidane!"
Zidane takes off his hands from his butt then whines, "But this panty is so itchy!" he gives a puppy eyed look, but Blank ignores it. "You're harsh." Then he looks up and swallows hard as he sees the head principal, Mrs. Revanshe, heading their way. "Damn… fatty is here…"
"Zidane, be quiet, will you!" Blank hisses at his agent partner, and then he elbows him in the ribs, making Zidane quiet down a little and hugs his lower part of the chest. Blank gives him a short glare before smiling sweetly to the principal who is about to pass by. "G-good morning, Mrs. Revanshe! It's a fine day, isn't it?"
The gray-haired woman turns to the redhead and smiles warmly back, "Oh, hello, Bianca. Good morning to you, too, and yes, it is indeed a fine day." She turns to Zidane, who smiles nervously at her while he clutches tight his sides. "Are you fine, Ms. Zitany?"
Zidane anxiously lets go of his throbbing ribs as he nods with a fretful smile, "Y-yes, Mrs. Revanshe! P-perfectly f-f-fine!" he turns to Blank and gives him a frown. "A-anyways, I t-think I'm d-doing g-good already!"
The principal raises an eyebrow and examines Zidane from head-to-toe. She crosses her not-so slender arms and sighs matter-of-factly, "Are you really, Ms. Zitany? You don't seem fine to me. If I am correct, your chest is disfigured."
This caught Zidane and Blank's attention, as they both exchange worried glances with each other. Zidane turns to Mrs. Revanshe and smiles sheepishly, "R-really? Oh, Mrs. Revanshe, you're so funny. My chest has been that way when I finally reached… uhh… puberty!"
The principal raises an eyebrow. "Oh, really…Is that so, Ms. Tribal?"
Zidane scratches the back of his head and grins goofily, "Yes, Mrs. Revanshe! In fact, back to our school at… uh… Lindblum, we had a contest!"
Mrs. Revanshe looks at him oddly, "Contest, eh?" Then she puts her hands on her hips and smirks at the young blonde, "Oh really? What kind of contest, Ms. Zitany? Do you mind telling me?"
Blank gives a silent groan to himself, thinking, 'Oh Gods, Zidane! I told you should have fixed that bust of yours! Are you making our situation worse?'
"Um… it was the 'Most Disfigured Chest' Contest!" Zidane grins widely, making his answer seem convincible. The principal just raises a brow, not persuaded. "Yes, Mrs. Revanshe! It is true!"
The woman laughs at this and asks once again, "Is it really, my dear? Fine, then. Tell me, who always win the contest?"
Zidane gives a big and proud smile, and puts his right hand on his chest and says in a very proud voice, "Me, of course!"
Blank slaps his forehead and grits his teeth, Zidane! Can't you shut up your big fat mouth even just for ONCE! Damn it! Your dad will surely pay for this for making me set up with you instead of Marcus or Cinna! Or Vivi for the matter!
"Well, then, Ms. Zitany, if that is the case, don't you know that through this, you might have a disease?" The principal remarks, as she taps her left foot. Zidane froze at this. "Yes, so, the best way is to go to the clinic to have a check-up!" the principal then picks Zidane's ear and aggressively walks away, Zidane screaming.
"ARGH, Mrs. Revanshe! Let me go!" Zidane cries, trying to let get away, ignoring the pain the principal is giving him thoroughly. "Let me go! It's not what you think! Really! I… Bianca! BIANCCCAAAAA!"
The redhead silently looks at Zidane who is forcefully taken away, himself defenseless. Besides, what can we do? This is the Mrs. Revanshe we are talking about. She has a reputation of being someone who is good for making stunning and bad remarks.
Blank just shrugs as Zidane was out of sight, but his screams were still to be heard even in the far distance. Oh well, he thinks. At least I'm going to take my work peacefully.
Then, ignoring Zidane's cries of help, Blank continues to walk in the almost empty hallways of the 2nd floor of the main building, trying to search for one certain office or room.
Who is this Garland guy? Blank ponders as he walks on. How can I know where he is if I don't even know what he looks like? Damn you, Baku… you always forget to give us the important details…
"Might as well ask…" Blank mutters under his breath, hearing the sound of every step he makes. Then, he sees an old janitor who has long… black hair? And he is wearing a janitor uniform. "Um, excuse me," Blank calls in his best girly voice, running up to the unfamiliar stranger.
The janitor turns around, his old and wrinkly face showing no emotion. Blank runs toward him and then asks, "Um…"
"Are you a new student?" the janitor asks with an emotionless face. Blank raises an eyebrow. "Are a new student?" the man asks again, this time, his voice rising a little.
Blank clears his throat and puts both of his arms at his sides and replies, "Well, yes, I am. I –"
"Good for you," the man interrupts, continuing moping the hallways, not even aware that Blank is getting a little interested. "Wait for a month, and you'll see for yourself what I mean." Then, he stops cleaning and walks away down to the first floor.
"Wait for three months, and you'll see for yourself what I mean…" Blank repeats in his head, giving a slight suspicion to the strange janitor. I think he has something to say to this incident… let's see…
The redhead soon finds himself trailing the old janitor. As he goes down the stairs, he sees the janitor enter a small kind of office which says "Authorized personnel only". Blank gives a few silent breathings and waits for a while.
There must be something in there which can help me with my mission… Blank thinks to himself, waiting beside a wall until the unfamiliar guy walks out. He doesn't look suspicious to me, but… there's this something about him that…
Suddenly, the door opens, making an irritating sound and the janitor, with a broom in his hands, walks out, with the same expression of no emotion on his face. Blank narrows his eyes and waits again until the janitor is out of view.
After a few moments, Blank steps out, his face filled with determination. He slowly walks towards the Office Door, careful so that no one will see him. As the coast is clear, he tries to turn the doorknob.
"Damn it! It's locked!" Blank mutters to himself. He tries again and again, struggling to get the door to open, but to no effect. Blank shakes his head and reaches for his pocket and pulls out a pin. "I hope this works…"
He inserts the pin and then starts working on it, his eyes oftentimes giving glances to the sides to see if anyone is coming. After a few minutes, he hears a sound coming from the lock. He smiles triumphantly and releases the pin, making it fall to the floor (A/n: Ops… wrong doing, Blank!)
He opens the door, giving one last look behind him to see if the janitor is back. He smirks, "Good." He enters the office and closes the door, and starts walking around, not knowing he forgot to lock the door and to pick up the pin.
Blank walks around the office after turning on the light, seeing brooms, mops, coconut shells, rags, and other cleaning utensils in one side of the room. In the other side, Blank could see an empty desk, a bed, a cabinet, a personal bathroom, a small kitchen and a three storey drawer.
The special agent then decides to go to the drawer and opens the very first one which is in the top. He rummages through the things, saying, "Clothes, clothes… three janitor uniform… nothing special…" he then turns to the second one, "Clothes, pens, papers, nothing great…" then he turns to the very last one.
"Let's see here…" he mutters as he opens it, and then, his eyes widen in surprise to see the things inside. "What the… newspapers, magazines, portraits and letters…"
Blank picks up one of the letters and starts reading it…
To be continued…
