Robin stared in disbelief at the screen, having to replay it 4 times before it finally sunk in. Maori was onto them. Karasuma patted Robin's shoulder lightly, "Robin…I think I know who the next victim is going to be…"

"You're not saying its one of the guys… are you?" Dojima said, biting at her lip nervously.

"Yes. I have a good idea who though. We need to find Amon." She replied.

Robin shook her head a few times, coming back to reality. She never thought she would be right about such a thing. "Amon would be at home, wouldn't he?"

"You know where he lives?"

"I have a vague idea." She said with a sigh, getting up out of her chair, trying to remember if Amon brought up a street name last time he talked to her.

"OH!" Dojima exclaimed suddenly, "I know where he lives! Hes right across the street from where Toko used to live."

That brought back some bad memories for Robin, having being attacked in Toko's apartment and getting her injured. She felt personally responsible for that, even though she had no idea why Solomon would put Toko in danger just to hunt her. But that was the past, not much can be done about it now. All Robin could do was nod.

Karasuma and Dojima talked freely about the investigation as they went back up the office, which didn't seem like a good idea to, considering Maori could possibly be watching them now. The whole case had her scared now. She felt so uneasy all the time, constantly feeling like she were being watched or followed. Judging by how at ease Karasuma and Dojima were, they likely weren't as frightened by it. Either that or they were and they were just good at hiding it.

Either way, Robin let them talk, logic getting the better of her and thinking that there was no possible way for Maori to be watching them. She wouldn't be able to get in. Then again, how did she run into Michael in the parking lot? Something didn't add up. Robin suddenly stopped walking, a look of shock suddenly appearing over her face.

Dojima and Karasuma kept walked, having not notice that Robin was no longer behind them for a moment, before the lack of footsteps was noticed. "What's wrong Robin?" Dojima asked, turning around to look at her.

"Shes been in the building the whole time…" She whispered, turning around and making a quick dash back down stairs. "Stay here." She ordered as she ran.

"Not a chance!" Dojima called after her, taking a step forward; only to be stopped by Karasuma.

"Let her go. I think I know what shes going to do…"

Once she was back on the main floor, she dashed out of the elevator and back into the security office, going to grab the tape. It was gone. "Not possible…" She whispered frantically, looking all around the desk and in other VCRs for it. There were no tapes at all. Just live feed from the cameras. Panicking, she whirled around to run back out of the office, just to run head first into somebody.

"Let me guess…you're down here to look for the tapes too?" A deep masculine voice said, steadying Robin on her feet.

She looked up and sighed with relief. "Amon…where have you been? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. I had to stay away from here, something did happen when I heard her voice. I had a sudden suspicion that Sakkaki and Michael also would have been targeted. I've ordered Sakkaki to stay home." He explained.

"What exactly did it do to you? Why did you come back?" The questions kept coming.

"Her voice is her weapon. When she talks, she can make you feel any emotion instantly, whether it be extreme despair or longing. I finally snapped out of it yesterday enough to put it together. Shes playing with us. I came back to finish the game." He explained patiently.

"…You shouldn't have come back. I have reason to believe she's been in the building the entire time."

She explained to him about Michael and how he ran into her in the parking lot, giving him the excuse that she had gotten lost. All he did was nod. "I thought about that too, and wanted to see if anything suspicious happened while I was gone. I was wondering how she'd get to Michael."

Seems like he was back to normal and on the ball. Robin was glad he was back. "Where would she hide here though?"

"I don't know. That's why I wanted to see the tapes. How long ago did you watch the one with Michael?"

She thought for a moment, "A little over 20 minutes ago maybe." Then she figured it out. Maori was definitely in the building. Where though was beyond them, but she was watching. "…We have to tell Dojima and Karasuma about this."

He nodded and walked out to go upstairs. Robin was surprised at how eager Amon seemed to get to the bottom of this. She had never seen him so determined in all the time she had worked at the STN. She figured he was also curious about Maori; he was probably getting bored with all the usual witch hunts and craved more excitement. Although she noticed he was being subtle about it. If she didn't know better, she would say what Maori did, scared him.

It didn't take Amon long to get organized and fill everybody in on what the situation was and why Michael and Sakkaki were out of commission. Once the confusion was resolved, they discussed what they were going to do with caution. "We now know that she's in the STN hiding somewhere, maybe even multiple places, but we have no idea where or how she's keeping surveillance on us. We have to keep things vague." Robin said, knowing that Maori was probably watching them right at that moment.

It grew silent in the room, even Dojima was biting her nails nervously. Everybody jumped when Amons cell phone went off without warning. He answered it, but said nothing, he just listened and nodded to himself. Then hung up. "It would seem in a lot has happened in a short time, and we've got another death on our hands."
