Witch Hunter Robin Fan Fiction ❯ Of little things ❯ Jump out of the frypan and into nowhere. ( Chapter 20 )

Tokyo was under the broodiness of rainy skies. The sheets of rain were falling hard enough that the drops bounced off of the road, and made a mist that seemed to make the morning time hazy and unappealing to be out in for any length of time. It was just simply put... a miserable sort of day.

In an office building that was the home of the M. Zaizen corp, located just on the far cusp of Tokyo's business district, it was down to work as usual. The day barely started, the activity level was like a beehive during springtime.

In one large waiting room, a thirty something woman works the secretarial desk of the head of the company, Zaizen Miki. She expertly answered phones and directed office staff to deliver many files and papers to their destinations within the Corporation's building. As she did, her sour face told of a life doing hard work, her face never once seemingly had smiled in a very long time.

The sour faced woman suddenly looked up from furiously writing something down on a large yellow colored pad after a phone call had came in, as a figure had appeared in front of her counter. She seemed to get suddenly annoyed at this, but did look up.

A slender young girl, dressed in a skin tight black full spandex body suit stood in front of the desk, leaning on the top with a hand. The young girl had on a black matching helmet that had a few wisps of dark blonde hair sticking out from it. She sported large wrap around sunglasses, that was heavily spotted from the rain that was falling outside, as was the other things she was wearing.

The secretary looked at the girl, surprised a little at the young one.

" Can I help you?" She asked, peering over her reading glasses that were perched low on her nose.

" I have a delivery from the Nagira Law Office for Zaizen-san." The girl said, her voice steady, holding up a brown envelope to sow the lady.

" I will take it in right now then, girl." The secretary sighed, holding out her hand to receive what the girl had brought.

" Mr. Syunji told me specifically that I had to get a signature straight from him, no exceptions." The girl informed sternly but very politely, pulling the package away from the reaching hand.

The lady nodded with a sharp bob of the head, looking at the reflection she could see of herself in the girl's glasses.

" Nagira must have something very important for Mr. Zaizen." She muttered under her breath as she stood up from her chair. " Follow me then, girl, I will take you in to his office."

" Thank you, Ma'am." The messenger girl said politely, watching the lady come out from behind the counter.

The woman turned and walked off, beginning to leading the girl towards a large set of double doors that were directly behind her large countered desk. The blandly dressed secretary seemed to be irritated again, as the messenger girl's delivery was getting in the way of own duties.

The young girl had paused in place and glanced over at the secretary's computer. She seemed to be curiously watching for a moment for something, pulling an object out of her fanny pack in the process. The girl used her thumb to hit a button on the cell phone she had brought out, then immediately stuffed it back in her pack.

As the girl watched the monitor for a second, it flickered very slightly, almost like a eye blink, and then had returned to normal. The girl grinned a little and hurried to follow the woman.

The young girl was taken into a very large office, where a man sat behind a very huge wood desk, reading some papers he had in front of him. He was in his late twenties or something, and had a very smartly cut hair style that was very modern. From his tailored black suit to the very large gold watch that hung on his wrist, the man seemed to ooze power.

Upon looking at the man with the first few steps in, the girl seemed to be staring at him for a second or two, then continued into the room. The teens breathing had seemed to quickened as she walked behind the secretary.

The man looked up from whatever he was reading at the moment, as the secretary announced the girl.

The man eyed the thin bodied girl in the tight outfit with a cold stare, that look not really telling what the man was thinking right then.

" You have a package for me, hu?" He snorted, as the young girl stepped closer.

" Yes sir..." She replied, her voice holding a slight flatness to it. " It is from Nagira Law Offices."

" Probably the finalization papers he was suppose to get me to me..." The man said, seemingly to smirk.

" Don't know what it is, sir..." She said, package in hand. " I only deliver for him, sir."

The girl put the package on the desk in front of the man, pointing to a piece of paper that was attached on to the envelope.

" Please sign here. " She said.

The man quickly signed the sheet, and pulled it off of the package. He handed it to the girl with a small grunt.

" Tell Nagira to send over anything else he has, ASAP." The man said, beginning to look annoyed himself. " I will contact him soon, if I don't hear from him in the next week or so."

" Yes, Sir." She said. " I will be sure to relay that to Syunji-san."

" Be sure of it, kid!." Warned the man, leaning back into his well padded chair and looking at the girl in front of him. " He needs to be reminded of that now and again."

The girl nodded her head and took the sheet of paper, she turned and followed the woman back out of this cavernous office. The man just seemed to have all but forgotten the girl had been there, returning to whatever he had been so intently reading when he had been interrupted.

The girl exited the building, and went over to where a bike was chained up to a stand. She looked over her shoulder a little, and saw the Secretary was hoovering in the doorway looking out right at her.

She made sure that the woman did not know that she had seen her, and unshackled the bike and hopped on, draping the chain over her shoulder as she joined the traffic that was swarming on the street.

The secretary snuffed, watching the girl leave. She turned and headed back in, her demeanor telling nothing of why she had been watching the young girl like she was.

The girl just raced for many blocks, biking hard against the driving rain as the traffic seemed to be getting heavier. The girl seemed to be negotiating the rain rather well, despite the curtain of wetness that fell from the dark clouds over her.

She turned into an alley, some seven blocks now from her drop off. She pulled out her cell and held it up to her ear, after dialing.

" Did you hack in to their system?" She asked, as someone on the other end answered.

" I am in, Robin, thanks to your running a little interference. The system would not know I have hacked through the firewall, but that damn screen flicker would tip off an experienced employee, thanks because of this old system Nagira gets his staff to use" Said the voice. " All of the information on their system seems to be heavily encrypted with a safety barrier... but I should be able to crack through it easy."

" How long will it take you to do that, Michael?" Robin inquired

" Dunno... but I will." He replied, the lad paused as if someone was talking to him on his end. " Amon says to come back here."

Messenger girl Robin giggled, as she could hear her man talking even if he was not on the line with her. She looked up to the clouds, as she listened to the voices coming through the cell, her face making a wincing scowl.

" Tell him I should get there in about forty minutes." She said, adding. " This traffic is getting heavy."

" We will be waiting... I'll just keep working on getting the inside information, as we talked about."

The boy hung up, and the line went silent. Robin put her cell back in her fanny pack and hopped back on her bike. She knew that it will be a long ride back to Nagira's, and it felt longer with the downpour that she was experiencing. She grimaced, as wet spandex was not a good feeling against her body, and she just wanted to hurry back so she could rectify the situation.

Ignoring the steady downpour of rain, she just quickly ducked out of the alley and returned to the road, heading on to the offices while keeping track of the throng of traffic that was bumper to bumper all around her.
