Chapter Two: At Long Last

I don't own Lupin III in any way, I just love the series.

sat there trying to make sense of everything she had heard and desperately wanting herto quit shaking.

'She's been with that man, I wonder if she escaped somehow?'

"Have you heard where Hassen is headquartered?" she asked Nimue.

"Actually, it seems that Berlin is where his organization is centralized believe it or not. On a sideHassen is German for 'hate'. It is said that he is in possession of some jewels of a rare As far as I know, your sister is still with him. You ARE going to try and get her aren't I'll help in any way possible."

"Well, we're also going to help. Something about damsels in distress and a profit to be made inprocess just makes us go all soft." said Lupin.

"Yes. We shall not fail in our task to retrieve Katharine. This man Hassen has behaved mostand must be stopped." stated Goemon.

"We should go to some place more private to discuss any plans, so follow us back to our suite" Fujiko said while finishing up her cigarette, and reaching for Lupin's out stretched arm. the two passed them, Nimue extended her arm toward Jigen.

"What?" he asked tilting his head up slightly. "Oh." he said upon realizing what she wanted.
"You're a real charmer you know that?" she said with a soft laugh as they followed Fujiko andout of the club with Goemon in tow. "Yeah, well I'm not much of a people person. If you't allow others to get close, you don't have to worry about any partnerships being broken." hein defense of himself.

"You seem to trust these three people though." she murmured.

"They are exceptions. I only just recently began to trust Fujiko. She was a back stabbing bitch,offense. Always screwing us over. Things changed one day though, when us three wereto get dead. As usual, she had gotten real cozy with the man we were...'doing business'. We were discovered and brought before the pair. He told her that he knew of herwith us, and if she wanted anything from him she would have to prove her loyalty byus. I remember he put the gun in her hand, and then she looked at all of us for a momentturning around and shooting him in the face. I couldn't believe it. She actually gave upmaterialistic ways in that moment. She said that she couldn't kill us because we were thethat showed her what a family was again, albeit a strange one. We just found out todayher real family had all been killed. Fujiko and I are okay with each other now. I think it stillus both out." he finished with a laugh.

"Now that we have background information on her though, it seems to make sense somewhatshe only looked out for herself. I can forgive her." said Goemon with his usual serious tone.

"Are you talking about me?" Fujiko huffed as the group reached the car. They had a larger car atpoint in time, since their last heist was a major score.

"Of course not, bitch." Nimue said with humor in her voice.

"Good, because this bitch might have to take things up with a certain wench if she didn't shut her" Fujiko replied with equal mirth while opening the passenger door.
the playful name calling, the men stopped and looked at each other with uncertainty. Bitch? Fujiko laughed at the looks on their faces as she shut the door and put her seat belt on.

"Don't look so shocked Jigen, it doesn't become you. Maybe you'll learn something in the time'm here about women. Maybe I'll even earn your trust too while I'm at it." Nimue whispered towith a look in her eye.

"Hey now, what's your deal?" Jigen demanded not releasing her arm.

"I like the look of you. That doesn't usually happen to me a lot." she said simply as removed hiswith her free hand and got in the back of the car.
turned to look at Goemon, who gave him a terse smile in response.

"Ha, ha very funny. I don't even want to hear it." Jigen said in a huff. Goemon and he got in theand soon they were on their way back to the hotel.

'I'm gonna have to keep my eye on her. Sure she's a looker, but those kind of women usuallyhidden agendas.' Jigen thought to himself.

in their suite, everyone pulled up a chair around the table. Lupin broke the silence. "Ithat we scope out the place from a distance, and then once we know about what kind ofwe're up against we can make our move. If we can locate your sister first Fujiko, sheactually know the whereabouts of the jewels."

"Maybe. He probably wouldn't tell her, that doesn't seem like something he would do. could be sneaky though, even at 15, when the occasion suited her, so it is possible shewhere they are. I'm going to get a drink, I'll be right back." said Fujiko, while diggingchange.
the door shut, and all was clear Jigen lit a cigarette. "What's your angle in all this? like you have other motives for getting involved in situations like these."
's eyes narrowed in irritation. "My motive is to help free an old friend from a situationthan death. 'Women like you..' what's that supposed to mean? I could ask you the same Men like you never do anything out of generosity. However, I'm not going to ask. Yousaid that you would help Fujiko and I get her sister and that's all that matters to me. Notis out to stab you in the back Jigen. It must be a sad life you have if that's all you everout of people. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I want a little bit of silence for a moment. air in here has suddenly turned stuffy." she practically hissed out.
practically ripped the door leading to the balcony off the hinges on her way out. She stoppedbefore it slammed shut, and closed it quietly. She pulled out a cigarette and lit it, enjoying theof the cool air against her face. It was a nice temper against the anger she felt.

'Damnit! How could he possibly make me so angry? You're not supposed to let emotions get inway of the objective. That's rule one. I should not have done anything that might make themnot to help. So what if he acts like an asshole and thinks poorly of me, his friends andare helping me rescue Katharine. I got upset because I like him a little bit, even though Iknow him.'
last thought almost made her snort in derision.

'So what if I like him? He's stuck in his ways and won't change.'


"Wow Jigen, you sure do know how to treat the ladies huh?" Lupin said with a laugh.

"It certainly appears that way doesn't it?" Goemon replied with mirth.

"Would you two just shut it, for once? You can't just believe everything people tell you."

"Well do you?" asked Lupin.

"Yea, I do." he answered with a sigh. He put his cigarette out in the ashtray and followed Nimue

"Wow, Jigen is apologizing?" Lupin remarked with disbelief.

"He has realized that he was wrong in his thinking. I believe that Jigen may have found his It isn't everyday that someone stands up to him and doesn't even bat an eye while doing Especially a woman." Goemon said.

"You know, you might be on to something there. Now we just have to find you a woman next."replied.
merely raised an eyebrow.

silence had been too long Jigen decided.

"I'm sorry about patronizing you. Trust is a big issue with me, but I can see that you're being I was wrong."
turned her head and looked at him.

"As long as you admit you're wrong." she said as she leveled her gaze upon him, baiting him.

"That's it! Women sure do think a lot of themselves."

"Don't be so serious all the time. I was only kidding, and here I thought females were supposedbe the sensitive gender. I love your hat by the way."

'Maybe I was wrong about him.'

"Thanks. That's a nice dress you've got there. Classy."
