Declaimer: I don't own Witch Hunter Robin

Ominous Lover

Chapter One

It was midnight, when a black car arrived at the scene of the crime. The car parked in the shadows on the opposite side of the road. The car door opens and a detective with brown hair gets out from the drivers seat. It's lightly raining outside in the cold November weather. The detective pulls his coat closer towards himself and secures his scarf more tightly around his neck. He had forgotten his hat when leaving the house. All the while thinking he to himself, he would rather be in bed next to his sleeping seven-month pregnant wife. The detective crosses the street and joins the other law enforcement officers, working under the dim street lamp. A young officer already at the crime scene goes to acknowledge the on coming detective. As the detective approach the sight, the street lamp relieves to him to be, Haruto Sakaki.

"Detective Haruto Sakaki, I'm here to investigate the body." Sakaki informs the officers, while flashing the officer his badge and identification.

The young officer gives a small nodded of his head in greeting and replies, "Officer James White" then he hands Sakaki a pair of latex gloves.

"What's the report?" Sakaki asks, as they made their way to the body on the ground. A large black plastic sheet had been placed on top of the victim's body to protect it from the elements and contamination.

"The victim is a male, Asian, he is 5 feet 9 inch and possibly in his mid-forties. Judging from the ring on his left finger, we would say he his married. We thinking the victim was attacked from behind when walking pass this alley. There were also no sign of struggle."

"And the cause of death?" Sakaki asks, while ducking beneath the string of yellow tape. Officer White follow after him.

"Well, it seems that the cause of death still needs to be determined, Sir." Officer White replied.

"Why is that?" Sakaki glanced at the black plastic bag being held down at four corners by bricks.

"You see there," Officer White walks over to the body, removed one of the bricks to lift up one corner of the sheet. He crouches and points to one of the bullet wounds, "A bullet was shot into this man, but he's not bleeding. Any normal gunshot wound would have had blood. In fact this man is full of bullet wounds but there is no blood anywhere. There is only a greenish substance in place of the wounds."

"Is there any evidence lying around?" Sakaki asks. He puts on his latex gloves before have a closer examination of the body.

Office White stands up and replies, "No, Sir. There is no trail left behind from the killer. Not even bullet shells."

Sakaki frowns to himself than stood up to address the officer, "Okay, I'll take it from here. When you and your team are done you can leave. I'll have my specialist come and retrieve the body and take it to the morgue. I'll also like a copy of your report by tomorrow afternoon."

The young officer nods to indicate he understood then turns to leaves but stops to ask, "What do you think could have done this?"

"I don't know" Sakaki lied, "But we'll let the forensics handle it from here." Satisfied with Sakaki's answer Officer White returns to his duties.

Standing remotely away from all the activity Sakaki made a phone call. "Michael we have another execution."

Next Scene

The bell on the door chimed cheerfully as Robin walked into the office. "Good morning, Michael." she said walking into a half painted room. "You know Michael you don't have to be beside the computers any longer. This isn't the STN-J."

"Yah, I know that Robin. But Sakaki call in last night around 2 o'clock in the morning."

"Sakaki?" Robin was surprised, what was so urgent that Sakaki wound need to call Michael so late in the night.

"Yah, there was a murder down near Wald City at midnight and he wanted me to check out some information."

"What kind of information?" Robin asked, as she walked over to the coffeemaker.

"He wanted some information on Orbo."

"Orbo?" Robin asked shocked. The coffeemaker now forgotten, her full attention was on Michael, "Why? All of Zaizen's works on Orbo are destroyed."

"Yes, that's true. But last night's victim was shot to death, yet every wound didn't have a single drop of blood. So Sakaki suspense this might be the work if the Executors and that they may have some connection to Zaizen's work."

"But I thought the Executors kidnapped their victims."

"Yeah, I thought so too. But they also could have been killing their victims, and hiding the bodies. Just this time, the victim was left behind."

"Do you think the Executors already know about the Agency's objectives?"

"How could they? We just opened our office a couple of weeks ago. The place isn't even completely furnished yet."

"Maybe they heard of us when we were still in Italy and this could be the Executors' way of threatening us."

"Either way we still have to wait for the forensics to extract the bullet, before we can examine it ourselves."

"No need to wait, I've got the result back from the forensics already." Both Robin and Michael turned around at the sound of Nagira's voice.

"Good morning, Nagira." Robin said. Nagira nodded and smiled back in greeting.

"How did you get the information so quick?" Michael asked impatiently. "The forensics were to call me as soon as the results were in."

"Hold your horse's kid." Nagira said through his toothpick.

"Well what information did you get?" Michael asked a bit aggravated that Nagira had called him a kid. Even, if it was only an expression he didn't wanted to be embarrassed in front of Robin.

"I manage to pull some strings here and there, and the words is that the Executor know we're after them. As for the dead guy, no bullets were found in him, except for green substance." Nagira reaches into his coat pocket and took out a small vile of the green substances. "There you go Michael. I want you to see if the chemical compound of this matches the one used in Orbo. Here is also a small blood sample from the victim, I want you can match it up the STN-J file to see if he is a witch."

Michael takes the vile and the blood sample. His earlier annoyance towards Nagira is forgotten as his interest is focused on the samples.

"Hey, where's Amon? Shouldn't he be here by now?" Nagira asked, making his way to the coffeemaker.

Michael turned his attention back to the people present in the office and replied, "Oh, Amon called in early this morning and said he may have a lead on one of the Executors' henchman and wouldn't be back till later tomorrow. So Robin you're to stay here and look over some paper work till he gets back. Better yet you can help me."

"Couldn't I have teamed up with some one else for the time being." Robin asked.

Michael responded back, "Robin, you know that there's only Amon and you doing the field work now a days. Karasuma is usually busy with the Japanese government. Sakaki is on the look out for anything witch related at the crime scenes. As for Doujima well….she wouldn't be back for a while, even after she has the baby. I don't think Sakaki would ever let her go back to these dangerous jobs."

At the mention of Doujima Nagira asked Michael, "by the way, Michael how far is Doujima in her pregnancy anyway? Sakaki doesn't let me near her anymore without him around. Sakaki had said something about her spending too much time with me." Nagira grins, remembering Sakaki's jealousy.

"Lets, just say she far enough in the pregnancy, that if you asked her if she swallowed a watermelon she either shoot you or cry." Michael and Nagira laughs. Robin smiles and shakes her head at their merciless teasing toward Doujima. It was a good thing Doujima really wasn't here to hear their teasing, she would have shot the two for sure.
