Chapter 7: Actions and Consequences

Amon walked into the STN-J later that morning. He decided not to mention anything about Robin; he knew she would show up in her own time. The office was quiet. It was still early and the only person there was Michael. He was tapping away on the keyboard, music blaring from his headphones. Michael looked up, swiftly took off his headphones and motioned for Amon to come here.

Amon walked over and looked on the screen. There was Robin. Her face had been captured on the airport security cameras. Michael had been monitoring them in case she decided to return the country.

"Look what I found. That girl, it's definitely Robin. Her hair is different but no mistaking that dress. I wonder why she would wear something so ostentatious," said Michael.

Amon looked away. He didn't say anything. He knew Robin was in town, but he no longer had the right to know where. Just then Sakaki sauntered in.

"Hey guys."

"Hey. As soon as everyone gets in I have some news that you all are going to want to hear," said Michael.

Doujima walked in and behind her was Hoshi. They all greeted one another, except Hoshi, who nobody had taken a liking to. Amon sat back and waited for Miho to come in. They needed to talk. He knew that he upset her but wasn't quite sure how to fix it. "She should know better," he thought bitterly. "I can't get involved emotionally."

Amon's conscience replied with a biting remark, "It's not that you fucker, you were making love to a woman and imaging someone else. You were thinking about Robin and when you came you said her name. Any woman would be pissed."

Amon ignored the voice in his head telling him he was a bastard. He already knew that. Karasuma walked in. She looked tired and her eyes were puffy. Their eyes met across the office. She stopped in her tracks, looked away and continued into the room.

Kin watched Miho's response with surprise and raised a carefully manicured eyebrow, she felt around inside Karasuma's head; looking for drifting thoughts. "Well now, Amon. This is surprising. But then again, perhaps not. He has been a little…distant…lately. More so than usual from what I understand and remember. So he fucked Karasuma and said Robin's name…and from what's going through Michael's mind, Robin's back. Now this could get interesting, very interesting," mused Hoshi, tapping her blood red nails against the table.

"Hey! Ms. Karasuma, I'm glad your here," said Michael. He looked around the room at all their faces, Hoshi was staring at Karasuma, Doujima looked bored, Sakaki was playing a video game, Amon was staring at the floor, and Karasuma was watching Amon. "I've just found a lead on Robin!"

As expected everyone (but Amon and Hoshi) turned excitedly to Michael. Karasuma looked startled but they all crowded around him to ask questions.

"Where is she?" asked Doujima.

"She's alive right?" asked Sakaki.

"Yup. She's here in Tokyo. I saw her come in sometime very early this morning on the airport cameras. I don't know where she went after that, but there has to be a reason she is here," said Michael.

"What do you mean," asked Miho.

"Well, why would Robin suddenly come out of hiding, nothing has changed with headquarters and from what I understand, they are still trying to track her. So why would she return? There has to be something or someone important enough to bring her here, something that she has, perhaps, learned," said Michael.

"Robin? Why are you here?"asked Amon.

She looked into his eyes, and answered the same answer she did from their dream. "Because you asked," she said softly, wrenching her eyes from his imploring gaze.

Amon was startled. "She came back for me," he thought. "She came because I asked her too. I didn't even realize it."

"Well, where do you think she would go?" asked Doujima.

Michael looked at Amon and nodded his head, Doujima turned around, Sakaki stared, Hoshi watched everyone with interest, and Karasuma was looking anywhere but Amon.

"To Amon," said Sakaki.

Hearing his name, Amon was shaken out of his reverie. He looked up and saw three sets of eyes looking at him. He had missed what they said.

"Sorry, what did you say?" he asked.

Hoshi looked over at Amon and said, "She would have come to you first Amon."

Amon looked over at her then looked back at the others. Karasuma looked at him, her eyebrow raised. Amon knew that Robin saw Karasuma, but did Karasuma see Robin? Amon decided to tell them the truth, they would find out sooner than later anyways.

"Yes. She came. This morning, at four," he said

Karasuma turned away. "Right after I left," she thought. "That girl, the one in the hall, Oh my god that was Robin. She saw me leave Amon's."

"So, Amon was this before or after you slept with Miho?" asked Hoshi.

Karasuma looked over, shocked. Doujima gasped. Sakaki's jaw dropped and Michael looked over, stunned. Amon turned towards Hoshi, "I don't know what you're talking about," he said.

"Oh come on. Even if I wasn't a telepath I would have known. You two have been avoiding each others gazes the entire time. It may not show on your face, but it is written all over hers," said Hoshi, nodding towards Miho.

Karasuma turned away, her face bright red. She stood up and walked straight out the room. Amon looked over at Hoshi, his eyes filled with black fury. He stood up and walked into the conference room, not giving them another word.

"I guess I should have listened to my instincts," a voice came from the door. "I thought this might be a bad time.

Everyone turned around. Robin stood in the doorway looking poised and unperturbed at what she had just heard.

Hearing her voice and the stuttering of his fellow STN-J members, Amon came out of the conference room and looked over at Robin.

Hoshi was the first to react. "So this is the famous Robin Sena, I heard you were dead. Well I guess that rumor isn't true."

"Um, hello," said Robin. "Who are you?"

"I guess with all of the commotion this morning you and Amon didn't get around to talking about me, not with him having just "made love" to Karasuma," Hoshi sneered.

Robin looked startled and glanced at Amon. He said nothing, he remained aloof and distant. She glanced back at the new hunter waiting for some explanation.

"I was sent here to replace you; I'm Kin Hoshi, telepath. Also, I'm Amon's ex," said the woman.

Robin, again, looked at Amon. "Oh my," she murmured.
