Sorry its been so long and that the chapters are so short. I just started school pluss I work, but I promise there will be more soon! Reviews welcome!
"Ahhhhh, Youjji! Watch where you drop those things!", Ken screamed as he pulled his foot out from underneath a box of Lily's things.
"I think that was the last one.", Youjii smiled.
"The last box to carry in or the last box to drop on my foot?", Ken asked through gritted teeth. "Both", Youji said as he flicked his
cigarette out the open window.
"Thanks for helping me move in.", Lilly smiled. "You sure have a lot of stuff Miss Lilly", Omi said as he looked around. Two hours ago
the attic had been full of dusty boxes and trash. Now it held a small twin sized bed, a vanity desk with mirror, and about thirty variously
sized cardboard boxes spilling over with clothing and makeup. "Well a top rate spy has to be prepared to play any part…and I'm kind of
a pack rat."
She followed them down the stairs to the kitchen. Aya walked in through the front door with several bags of take-out food under his
arms. "I'm guessing you boys don't cook much." ,she laughed. "Can you cook?", Youji asked with hopeful interest. "Instant noodles and
tea.", Lilly replied. They had fun sitting around the small kitchen table and eating.
Ken and Youjji fought over the last egg roll while Aya quietly ate a cup of rice. Omi smiled at Lilly. "This must be very different from
living alone Miss Lilly." "Its noisier, definitely, but I'm starting to like it a lot.", she replied as she dodged the egg roll Youji had been
holding out of Ken's reach. It fell to the floor with a light thud.
After they had cleaned up Manx appeared through the front door with a large black bag hanging off her shoulder. "Hey", she smiled.
"I've come to help Lily brief you on her current mission.", she moved to the living room as they all settled themselves on the couch.
Manx began. "There is a secret organization in Japan that has been kidnapping young computer hackers from various private schools
throughout the country. We have traced the next target school to Omoshi's School of Technology for Girls. Lily has been posing as a
student there for the last six months."
"If so many students have gone missing why haven't we heard anything about it on the news?", Aya asked. Lily took over, "They cover
their tracks well. The especially gifted students are lured into a sort of cult on campus. They begin to become distant towards their
families and friends and simply disappear after graduation. Only exit level students are targeted by the cult so that the families have very
little time to talk sense into their children before they graduate. I have just entered my final year of high school, and am trying to get
myself targeted by the organization. I can drop out before I get in too deep, but I need to find the motive behind the kidnappings."
"There are two reasons why Reflector has been added to your group. First, the information Reflector has recovered about the
organization responsible for the kidnappings has led us to believe that they may be more dangerous than we first thought. They call
themselves VIPE. These kidnappings have been going on for three years now, and they have yet to make a move. Although we have little
idea of what they're planning we fear it will be big…and soon."
"The second reason", she continued. "Is that it has become too dangerous for Reflector to continue this alone. Someone has discovered
her identity as a spy. Although we have no direct reason to believe that they are affiliated with VIPE; we cannot be sure. They have
shown all of the signs of a simple stalker, and have made no attempt to blow her cover at the school.", she pulled out a small box from
her bag. "These are tracking devices. I want Reflector and Bombay to wear them at all times.",
Ken looked confused. "But why would Omi need to wear one?", he asked as the rest of Weiss looked questioningly at Manx. A small
smile crept across Manx's lips, "Persia has decided that Reflector will need someone on the inside with her. Bombay is the most logical
choice being a top notch hacker and exit level student.
The brief moment of silence was broken as Youji fell to the floor laughing. "Omi…will…be…posing as….a….school girl!", Youjii made
out between chuckles.
Omi seemed to be chocking on the sudden intake of air resulting from the shock.
"No", Manx said simply. "Although we explored that idea we decided that it would be too risky that someone would find out. Persia has
talked with the Headmaster about making an exception for Bombay. He has an interview with the board of admissions tomorrow morning
where he will explain that he simply wants to attend the best school possible in his desired field, and will no doubt impress them with
perfect scores on the entrance exam."
Immediate relief covered Omi's face while a reflected disappointment flooded Youjii's. "Too bad.", Youjii said. "Omi would probably
have made a cute girl." The other three men considered this for a moment. "Stop picturing it!", Omi yelled frantically.
"Don't worry Youjii!", Ken smiled slyly. "Think about it. Omi will be the only boy at an all girl's high school. They'll tear him apart."
"That's right" Youjii exclaimed remembering the hoards of high school girls that flooded the flower shop to watch the four boys every
morning. "This will be interesting!"
