Chapter 2

"I don't pay you to lighten the mood. Now back to business. Please Mr. Takashi, please tell us about your case."

"Y-yes, of course, my name is Hiro Takashi and I'm the owner of an up-and-coming zoo in Fukushima and recently we've been experiencing some…unfortunate occurrences…" he explained as he wrung his hands nervously. Lin began typing on his laptop, recording all the details.

"What are the occurrences that you've been experiencing?" Naru asked, slightly uninterested.

"Well, it all started shortly after the death of one of our zookeepers, Kei Fukuoka. His death was a tragic one. He not only was a fantastic employee, but he was truly a great man, and so young, truly unfortunate. Anyway, his…remains were found at the bottom of the piranha tank. It was assumed that he fell in during a feeding time and was eaten by the fish." He told somberly.

Yasu looked shocked while Mai gasped, "Oh my gosh, that's so awful…"

Naru cleared his throat. "I will repeat my question. What has happened?"

"Naru! How can you say that? A man died and all you can think about is the case? What is wrong with you!" Mai jumped from her seat beside the client to point at Naru angrily. "Do you have no feelings?" Yasu placed a restraining hand on her shoulder. "Settle down Mai, you know there's no use yelling at him." He whispered to her. She huffed and sat back down seething at Naru's apparent lack of emotion.

"No, he's right. I came here to get my case solved, not make you all feel guilty about something that was out of your control. I apologize." Hiro said. "Don't apologize for my employee's lack of professionalism. Please continue." Naru said coldly. Mai threw him a glare, and then began to studiously ignore him.

"Well, about a week after the…incident, we started getting complaints of people being pushed, getting their hair pulled, things like that. Also, it seems that some people have an uncontrollable urge to go to the aquarium." He explained.

"What's wrong with them visiting the aquarium? It seems to me that would bring you more profits." Naru stated.

"Well, yes, however it isn't a normal fascination or interest that brings them to the aquarium. They don't even remember walking in that direction. It's almost like they're in a trance. What's even more unsettling is that besides the aquarium incidents which only happen to adults, there really is no age preference for the pushing and hair pulling. It seems even children are at risk. My zoo is in danger of closing, please I need your help!" Hiro begged desperately.

Lin finished typing and closed his laptop. He glanced over at Naru and walked back into his office. Mai noticed this and instantly took it as a bad sign.

"I'm sorry Mr. Takashi. I will have to refuse this case." Naru stated. He got up from his spot on the couch and started heading back to his office.

"Now wait just a minute! You can't ignore his case! Innocent people are being targeted! Even children! Who knows what could happen if we don't do something about this!" Mai argued.

"Mai, it's too dangerous. There's no telling what could happen." Naru said simply.

"That's exactly why we should do something about it! What happens if a child gets pushed and falls into an enclosure or something? We have to do something Naru!" Mai crossed her arms and glared.

"Mai has a point Naru. We've taken on cases much more difficult than this and too many people are in danger to ignore this. We really should at least look into it and see what we can do." Yasu gently prodded.

After a tense moment of silence, Naru said "Mai, call everyone and tell them to meet us at 7 tomorrow morning with everything they need for at least a week's stay. Mr. Takashi, we will need two rooms to sleep in. I presume you have a security office?"

"Yes of course!" Naru nodded. "Then we will need that for the base. I trust your security won't be a bother about this?"

"Of course not! I will have the two rooms you need ready as well as inform the head of security! Thank you so much Mr. Shibuya! You have no idea how much this means to me!" Hiro shook Naru's hand furiously before rushing out to make the necessary accommodations.

"Mai, if you're done standing around like an idiot, get going on those phone calls and make tea." Naru ordered. He walked back to his office and slammed his door shut.

"Well, he may be crabby now, but at least he took the case!" Mai said happily as she made her way to the phone.

"Haha yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised. I guess it's good that you were here to persuade him to take the case." Yasu wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he smirked.

Mai dropped the phone after hanging up with Masako, the last person she had called. "W-w-what?! What is that supposed to mean? He only took the case after you said something!" Mai sputtered.

"Ah ah ah…he merely used that to cover the fact that you persuaded him. You are both really so dense when it comes to your feelings." Yasu clenched his shirt over his heart, "It's so tragic!"

"Oh shut up Yasu!" Mai hurriedly went to the kitchen to make Naru yet another cup of tea. Yasu made to follow her, poking her shoulder as he said "You really shouldn't hide it, all that's going to bring you is depression and sickness and-"Naru walked out of his office saying "Yasuhara if you have no work to do then quit wasting time and get out. I don't pay her to entertain you."

"Yikes, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning then! Later Mai!" He said as he walked out of the office.

"Bye Yasu!" Mai waved as he left. "Mai. I believe you were told to make tea. Get going." Naru commanded as he made his way back to his office.

"Stupid Narcissistic jerk." She muttered to herself as she resumed her task of making tea. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed the kettle and filled it with water. As she set it on to boil she grabbed three cups and set them out. When the kettle whistled, indicating it was heated, Mai took it off the stove and poured it into the cups over the tea leaves and allowed it to steep. She put two of the cups on a tray and made her way to Lin's office door first, knocking gently.

"Come in." said the stoic man from inside. "Hey Lin, I made some tea, would you like some?" Mai asked timidly. Lin nodded his head in response and again in thanks after she set the tea down on his desk. She then went to Naru's door, and remembering his insults earlier, walked in without knocking.

"Don't you know that you are supposed to knock and wait for an answer before you come barging into someone's office? Or is your stupidity so great that you forgot even that common courtesy?" Naru commented offhand.

"I knocked on Lin's door." She stated simply and smugly. Naru glared at her as she walked over, roughly put his cup on his desk and slammed the door on her way out.

That'll show him!...or get me fired…oh boy, maybe I shouldn't have done that. Ugh now what? Mai ran her fingers through her short brown hair as she battled with her internal dilemma. "Mai." Naru called from his office.

"…Yes Naru?" Mai asked nervously.

"If you're late tomorrow, I'm docking your pay. Now go home." He stated bluntly, once again slamming his office door shut.

"Uhh, right." She replied. Stupid jerk. She gathered up her bag and left to go back to her apartment where she could pack her things for their newest case.

So, how was it? R&R please! :) Update coming soon!
