Witch Hunter Robin Fan Fiction ❯ Respect the 'Eve' ❯ Chapter 8

Downing a small glass of whisky, Amon stood in the center of his brother's law offices. He seemed not to react to the burning of the alcohol as it slipped down his throat, but his face showed a tortured spirit behind the glass.

Amon filled the glass again, this time almost overflowing the glass. He eyes the drink, then looks over at his brother as he held the glass in mid-raise. Nagira was on the phone, speaking a little louder than the man usually did and was very animated, as he talked to someone on the other end.

Amon just turned back, and downed the bitter brown liquid in one swallow. He sighed deeply.

" Your worried about Robin, aren't you?" Said Nagira, just finishing getting off the phone.

Amon was not going to say a thing, but found himself nodding his head in response. He put down the now empty glass and took a seat on a chair just in front of his brother's desk. Nagira offered a cigarette to his brother, who took one and lit it quickly.

The thin lawyer took one too out of the pack and lit it, staring right at his brother.

" I have the word out... If anyone seen anything, they should be calling very soon." Nagira said. " I also have a call in someone special, who just might be helping us out in a big way."

" I hope we find something..." Amon said, his voce sullen. His eyes were sunk in a little. " We have to, you know."

Nagira nodded and poured himself a drink of the whisky, the stress starting to show on him also. He looked at his brother again.

" Admit it now, Amon... your in love with Robin." He asked, looking at the man.

The long haired man looked over at Nagira, his eyes had softened from his normal intense level. Amon took a long sigh, and he seemed to smile a little.

" Yes." He said, then taking a long drag off his smoke. " I do..." He bowed his head. " Wish I had been not as stubborn, and told her now."

" Then lets find her, and kick the living crap out of these people." Nagira said, leaning forward on to his desk. " I care about Robin too."

" You think that she is alive?" Amon asked. " I do, but .. For the first time ever, I cant let my self be sure of that."

" I go with my gut instincts a lot in my job..." Began Nagira, taking a small sip from his own glass of spirits. " My gut says that she is alive still."

A look of determination flared in Amon's face, his dark eyes now turning a bluish black, piercing with growing intensity. He stared right into Nagira's eyes, and give a nod. The two just sat there, both men were simply silent.

Nagira stayed silent, but he was deep in his own mind.

" I hope my guts are right on this one." He said to himself. He was sure, but he needed to be totally sure, and he could not give that.

A hour passed, and many cigarettes later for Nagira and Amon. The men still were waiting silently, as the lawyer's workers kept to themselves and worked diligently and left the two man alone.

Without any fanfare or nothing, a tall, thin figure waltzed in the front door of the law offices. Amon looked up and actually gave a small grin, as he knew this man well.

The man that was there, was the one they called Master, I was the owner and operator of Harry's.

The slender angular faced man looked at Amon, a small yet comforting grin was on his face.

" I have news for you both, Gentlemen." He said with a smile that was one of relief.

Amon blinked twice and his jaw dropped.

" About Robin?" The man asked, standing up in reaction to Master's statement.

" It might lead us to her, Amon-san." Said the barkeep, his eyes twinkled. " She is reportedly still alive right now."

" Then tell us where to save her from!" Said the broad shouldered man, his eyes wide open.

The barkeeper sat down and looked at the two man.

" My sources have told me that this Collective-Moon group owns a boat that was moored in Tokyo harbor, and it was seen going out of the harbor about a hour ago." He said. " They had tried to sneak past everyone carrying a girl matching Robin's description. They never knew that my source had spotted them, as they had skirted being seen otherwise."

" Out to sea?" Asked Nagira, looking at The Master. "You think that it is the Collective moon people, and they took her out to sea??"

" Yes." He said. " By my source's source, It was the group's doing, proved when he had saw them. It seems that they own a small island just up the coast and off shore about thirty kilometers." He said.

" How sure was your people on this? Was it the Collective-Moon that kidnaped Robin?" Asked Amon, frantically wanting all of the answers.

Master nodded his head, his eye showing that he was not lying, which the two other men seemed to already known.

" My source is always good and completely truthful... he says that it is, and I will believe him after the many very good tips he got me over the years."

Amon stood up and looked at the man.

" If this is what happened to Robin, do you know where the position of this island is?"

" My informant will phone me with the nautical positioning of this island." He said calmly. " He did not know it, but assured me that he could get it." The Master chuckled. " It's costing me many Yen to get it, but for Robin-chan, It is worth every last bit of it."

Amon sat back down, his body language was one of extreme urgency. Master looked at the man and give a smile.

" I already have a boat waiting at the same slip area where the Collective- Moon had their boat, when we get the information." He said, knowing the look that Amon had on his face.

" Then what?" Amon asked. " To free her, we need weapons and things to exact a rescue."

Master smiled, and the tall man saw this.

" Let me guess, You already thought of that?" Nagira piped in, reading the man's expression.

" I have been known for being a perfectionist." Master smirked, pouring himself a drink from the bottle on Nagira's desk. " We have access to heavy duty weaponry, and some friends that would like nothing better than helping Robin escape... By that point, using other men can be changed too."

Amon sat back down and lit a cigarette he had stole from his brother open pack that layed on the desk. He took a long drag, and looked at the man.

" How do we know that she is not dead by now?" He said, knowing the question needed to be asked, but thinking that he knew the answer already..

" If they had taken the time to kidnap her, I think they are wanting her alive." Master said. " We have that on our side."

" Will we know where to go on this Island?" Nagira came in with a question of his own.

" My source is working on that too..." The owner of Harry's said.. The man paused for a moment, then took a breath in. " The information getting is probably the easy part of all of this... Getting Robin-chan out, will be another matter."

Amon nodded, as his mind had already calculated that much. The tall man sat there, his mind going over everything that has happened in the past few days. He sighed and bowed his head.

" We just have to do this." Amon said to himself, taking a sharp pull off of his smoke. " We just have to..."

Master was watching the young man sitting there, his mind seemed to be many miles away. He knew that Amon was thinking about the young fire-user, how could he not be? The Master could also see the caring in Amon's face, and knew that the man loved Robin fully. It was right there, in the mans's normally stoic features.

Harry's owner just took a swig of his whisky and was also falling into his own thoughts. He knew that they might have to act fast. Even though, it seemed that this group wanted Robin alive for some reason.. They might end up changing their minds in a heartbeat.

Master patted his cell phone that hung on his pant's belt, mindlessly making sure that he had it, and hoped to get that call quickly. They needed to plan something out, and having the information would help them all do just that. He waited, knowing they all could do little else in the meantime.
