Operation Code 10-1000

It wasn't like 45 didn't think Fox could actually get a date. Heck, out of the group, Fox was probably the only one who was able to get a date whenever he wanted. If anyone could charm a girl, it was Fox. 45 had the upmost confidence in the man. However, what surprised him was that Fox was taking the girl to a skate park.

"You sure this is the right place?" 45 asked as he glanced around the area again.

Spirit nodded as he pulled on the strap that held his helmet on. "That's what his text said. Weird place for a date."

Dragon shrugged as he glanced around. "We aren't exactly dealing with normal people."

45 nodded. "Still though. A skate park? Does Fox even know how to use a skateboard?"

"Does it matter? Besides the girl probably wanted a place where no one else would be so she could take him out."

45 nodded as he looked around again. He smirked as he caught sight of a familiar mop of black hair. "Here they come."

It took a few seconds to spot the two as the boys rarely saw Fox in anything other than his navy blue school uniform or clubbing ware. Today, he was sporting a simple white T-shirt and jeans. His date was in similar attire but she filled it out in a way that was far more appealing to 45. He also saw that Fox had somehow learned how to skateboard overnight or the man had hidden talent. He easily handled the railing and the many more attractions of the skate park. His date, on the other hand, out did him with her roller-skates, making it seem like she had been born with them.

As the couple skated closer the other members of Team Reiki started skating and doing tricks, most of which they failed at. 45 had a history of skipping school to go to the skate park but he was usually looking for fights. To say that he knew what he was doing would be a blatant lie. Spirit fared little better and managed to keep his balance before falling down the stairs. Only Dragon seemed to know what he was doing as he rode up and down the sides of the half-pint.

Probably did a few deals here and needed to blend in, 45 thought as he attempted to join Dragon. When the couple had passed them, the boys halted their skateboarding and sat down.

"Something doesn't feel right," Spirit announced.

"Duh," 45 replied. "We're being paid to stalk our friend on a date. Even if she was from the BBC, Fox could handle her. And if he couldn't there's always Youko."

"Quiet," Dragon commanded. "The fool has a point though. The girl is making this too easy."

"We'll maybe Fox is just that good looking."

Dragon shook his head. "She's baiting him."

"Well Fox isn't really interested so he should be okay, right?"

Dragon was silent and Spirit was focused on his job as lookout. If those two were agreeing on something, it would be wise to listen, 45 decided so he kept a good eye out but even the best detectives get distracted. Just outside the skate park was a walking path with benches. Sitting on the bench closest to Fox and his girl were two girls. One had aqua coloured hair tied back with a red ribbon. Her eyes were an unnerving crimson colour. Obviously a hard core anime fan, 45 thought. The other girl appeared normal with her long hair tied into pig tails but when she turned, 45 saw she had blue tattoos around her eyes. The blue stripes stretched down to her jaw and her eyes were sad.

As he was about to look away, 45 noticed something glint on the brown haired girl's pig tail. From his pocket, 45 pulled out his one of his secret spy tools. The Secret Spy Glass. It looked like a monocle but acted like a telescope. Raising it to his eye, he saw that the glint was a hair clip. It was blue with the letters "TZDM" written in black. The other girl had a clip closer to her ribbon. Hers was red with the same letters but in yellow.

45 placed the spyglass back in his pocket and turned to his teammates. "Two Demon World chicks on the bench."

Both Spirit and Dragon glanced over before Spirit asked, "So now what? It's not like we can warn him without letting his girl know."

"If he's any good," Dragon replied. "He already knows."

45 nodded. "Yeah but just case." Before the other two could stop him, he grabbed his skateboard and walked over to the girls.

"Hey ladies," he said with a carefree wave.

The girls stared at him and with an uncomfortable plunge of his stomach, he realized he didn't have a clue what to say next. His plan sorta ended with: "Hey ladies." He prayed the girls would reply and at least try to start some form of conversation.

The girls were still silent.

"Nice day?" 45 tried, knowing it was a very lame try. Oh well. It wasn't as if he was trying to ask one of them out. If he was, this would have been a little more planned out and way more embarrassing. Still, it was very awkward.

Thankfully, Spirit came to the rescue. "Would it kill you to wait for us before you go talk to girls?" Spirit paused as he glanced back at the two girls. He stared for a few seconds and 45 wondered if the girls had hit him with a stun-ray. Everyone was silent as Spirit stared. Then he stepped forward and got down on one knee as his eyes became soft and goofy. Too late, 45 recognized it as the look Spirit had given Shinigami when they had first met.

45 wanted to pinch him. Give me strength, he thought. The idiot has fallen for the enemy.
