Mika looked back at her home. "I can't believe that I'm leaving... I've lived here my whole life..."
"Did you talk to your landlord?" Sven asked looking back at Mika. Her and Eve were sitting in the backseat of the car, Sven and Train were in the front seats.
"Yeah... but I would like to stop b and say bye to Kachi... Please."
"Sure." Sven nodded smiling. He started driving the car. After a few minutes they pulled up in front of the restaurant.
"I'll be back in a moment." Mika said getting out. She blinked as Train got out. "You don't ha-."
"Come on." Train shrugged. "I want a glass of milk before we go."
"Oh... Okay." Mika nodded and followed Train in.
"Mika!" Kachi smiled as she walked in. "I was worried when you didn't show up for your shift."
"Kachi..." Mika sighed. "Can we sit down and talk?"
"Sure. I'll go grab some drinks."
"Milk." Train said as he plopped down in a seat.
"Please." Mika sighed looking over at Train like he was a complete idiot.
"Right." Kachi nodded. He left and Mika sat next to Train silently. A minute later he returned with three glasses of milk. Train snatched his up eagerly. Mika sipped hers silently for a moment. "Mika?"
"Kachi I... I think of you as a second father and I care about you deeply... But I-."
"Want to leave the nest, huh?" Kachi said calmly. "I knew this would happen sooner or latter."
Mika blinked shocked staring at him. "You..."
"Mika you're not a child anymore. I understand that." Kachi smiled. "I knew someday you'd either met someone or you'd want to go see the world. It happens with everyone. As long as your happy I'll be fine."
Mika smiled weakly. "Kachi... I'll come visit... I'll call and check in every now and then. I promise."
Kachi smiled. "I know you'll be fine." He turned to Train. "You take care of my Mika understand."
"Sure." Train nodded finishing his milk.
"Right." Kachi stood up. "Don't be a stranger." He smiled and patted her shoulder gently. "I'll see you around kid."
"You bet." Mika laughed. She got up and hugged him. "Good bye."
"Good bye sweet heart." He smiled and hugged her back.
Mika followed Train out and they got in the car. "Ready?" Sven asked looking back at Mika.
"Yes." She nodded confidently.
Sven smiled and started driving.
"Do you just want to relax tonight Mika? You can help us with the next one." Sven said as he packed up his suitcase.
"No. I want to help."
"Maybe you should stay here and practice with your powers first." Train said while drinking a glass of milk.
Mika frowned. "I think I'll learn better with front hand."
"Don't worry Train." Eve said calmly. "Sven and I wont let anything happen to her."
"I'm more worried about her messing us up."
Mika frowned and her eyes seemed to get a hint of red to them. "Don't worry about me. I wont get in the way."
Train smiled liking her personality and attitude. "Alright."
"Then I guess we'll leave." Sven nodded. "Mika if it gets too dangerous back off, okay."
"...Alright." Mika nodded. "Lets go."
"Stick close to me Mika." Eve nodded calmly walking out the door. Mika smiled and followed.
Later that night she yawned as they waited for their target. "Tiered?" Sven asked.
"And bored. How do you guys do this all the time?"
"It's not always like this." Sven smiled.
"... Why'd you choose to become a sweeper Sven?"
He paused thinking about his old partner. "It's a long story..."
"Oh." Mika nodded getting that he didn't want to talk about it. "... Thank you Sven... For taking me in."
"It's our pleasure." Sven smiled.
Mika sat silently waiting to spot their target. Sven looked over and blinked as for a second her eyes flashed red. "There." She nodded a way away. Sven looked over but could only faintly see.
"You sure?"
"Yes. My eye sight just must be better caz I'm younger." She smiled and waved sending the signal to Train and Eve. The four separated to their spots.
Their target was a, low bounty, thief named Jenson Gargonof. He had been moving form city to city and had been giving the police trouble. So the sweepers had been called in. Sven had the net ready while the other three were going to shepherd him into the target zone.
"Excuse me sir." Mika said stepping forward.
He turned, drunk, and blinked. "You need something pretty lady?"
Mika pulled back gagging on his breath.
"Oh... Don't be like that." He smiled stepping forward.
Sven tensed, but blinked as Mika easily dodged him with cat like reflexes. "I'm sorry but I'm not interested."
Jenson frowned and walked forward. "Don't be like that kitten." He stepped forward.
Mika's eyes flashed and she punched him. "Stay back you drunk!" He lay back passed out.
"Wow." Eve smiled walking forward. "You might want to work on controlling your strength."
"Yeah probably..." Mika blushed slightly.
"Well at least we caught him." Sven said walking up.
"Yeah." Eve nodded. "Let's head back to the hotel Mika."
"Alright." She smiled. "See you boys."
