Chapter 6
( Felicia's POV)
After it calmed down, Cecilia helped me move my stuff into the room next to Mamoru's. It was decided since Cecilia would be staying with me, we didn't have to share a room with him, but he would keep an eye on us, and we had to use the room next to his.
"So you brought a little with you, how long are you staying for Cecilia." I ask, glancing over at the blonde as she unpacks the bag she brought with her.
Cecilia shrugs."I don't know now. I originally thought it might take a little longer to find you, and I thought we would be going back together. If you're staying though, I might as well stay for awhile too." she answers, as we finish unpacking our bags.
"Okay. Well, you can stay with me, or if you want your own place, I can help you find it, and help you find a job. I'm going to be here awhile, so if you're staying it's something to think about." I add, as we walk back into the lounge. We were due to meet Scarlett any minute, she was supposed to come to the penthouse, to show us the info she had found so far.
"Sounds good."Cecilia adds, plopping down on one of the couches as the elevator bell goes off, signaling Scarlett's arrival. We hear two sets of footsteps, instead of the anticipated one. The first girl, I recognize as Scarlett, with her long red violet hair, sun kissed skin, and warm brown eyes. Sporting a fitted Red t shirt, and black jeans, and flats, her computer bag slung over one shoulder, and a smaller bag on the other.
The second girl, I had never met. She was tall, thin but was muscular in a sense, not overly so, with sun kissed skin, long chocolate brown hair, and hazel eyes. Sporting a white button blouse, the sleeves casually rolled up, which tucked into a black skater skirt, and black tpoppins. Her hair had a curl to it, and was swept sideways, revealing diamond studs sparkling on her ears, a silver watch on her wrist, and an infinity necklace hanging from her neck.
"We finally meet! Felicia, Cecilia." Scarlett greets us both with a hug, before turning to introduce her friend. "This, is Kris Kim. She works with that group I recently joined a few months ago. She was the first girl on the team, before I joined." she adds, before we all take a seat in the lounge.
"Glad to finally meet you Scarlett, and nice to meet you Kris." Cecilia says, smiling at the girls.
"Glad we could finally meet in person, and nice to meet you Kris." I add, looking to both girls as well, while Scarlett sets up her computer.
"Nice to meet both of you."Kris smiles at us, and Scarlett finishes setting up.
"Okay. So, I figure Kris would be good for helping us with the field work on this, since we are looking for someone, I'm assuming this will reach a point where we go find them correct?" Scarlett adds, looking to me, and I nod, confirming her guess. "Okay then. Plus, if we need more people, we could draft the rest of the foxes for this, plus we have one more girl that just joined as well, she couldn't come with today, but you'll meet her. So far, we have six different buildings owned by the Yakuza. Hopefully, we can track her down to one of those, and they aren't keeping her somewhere else." She finishes, pulling up a map on her computer, and bank records.
"I'd say the chances of them keeping her in one of their buildings is likely. They risk someone else finding her otherwise. Or even keeping her with an allied gang would be too risky, one of the members could do something stupid without permission. No, my bet is it's one of their buildings." Kris cuts in, giving us her opinion.
I nod"I agree with Kris on this one. If you're holding a hostage, it's just too risky to leave her where another gang has access like that. No, she's somewhere close to the leader of the Yakuza. I'm saying their main office, or warehouse, or the basement. The leader though, would keep her close. Least if he had any damn sense." I add, glancing at Scarlett's screen. "Shit. You know I can't really read the Japanese shit well." I say, glancing at the records, that might as well be gibberish.
"Shit. Sorry, you want me to have them re done in Spanish or English? Oh, that's also something Kris can help with, we're both pretty good at languages, but she speaks like everything." Scarlett adds, shooting me an apologetic look.
Kris turns to me a smile tugging at her lips after she hears what Scarlett says. " Tu hablas Espanol?" She asks, grinning at me. (Yes I know the sign over the n is missing, the computer isn't letting me, cuz its being stupid.)
"Si, hablo espanol, y ingles." I answer back, smiling. It had been awhile since anyone had asked me if I speak Spanish in the actual language, let alone me saying that I spoke both Spanish, and English.
"Asi, si alguna vez necesita ayuda para traducir de cualquier otro idioma a espanol o ingles, puedo ayudarle." she offers, shooting me a kind smile.
"Gracias, lo aprecio, y lo hare." I thank her, glad to have an extra translator.
"De nada."She answers simply.
"Alright, what the hell just happened? English please." Cecilia cuts in, sounding exasperated, and I laugh.
"Basically, she offered if I need any help translating from another language to English or Spanish, she would help me, and I thanked her, telling her I would use her help." I roughly sum up our conversation for Cecilia.
"Oh, okay." Cecilia answers simply, and we hear the elevator dinging, signaling the return of the boys. They had all gone out, except for the cop, who was sleeping in his room, at least that's what he said last time I had seen him.
Soryu, Eisuke, Ota, and Baba, all enter the lounge, looking at our gathering. They stop in the room, Soryu and Eisuke eyeing us warily, while Ota and Baba seem to be eyeing the girls, but more in an ogling sort of way, compared to the other two's looks of suspicion.
"It's bad enough that one barged in here." Eisuke starts, gesturing to Cecilia."But I thought you only had one more coming today? I didn't give permission for two." Eisuke says, disapprovingly, as he narrows his eyes at me.
"Permission? Well someone's a control freak. Why don't you take the stick outta your ass there Ichinomiya. Not like you don't have plenty of space here anyway." Kris says, meeting Eisuke's gaze, a smirk playing across her lips as she confronts him, clearly unfazed by his glare.
"I knew I liked you." I add, before Eisuke can say anything, as I glance towards Kris.
She grins at me."I don't care how rich he is, I take shit from no one."She says, laughing. Eisuke glares, but leaves the room silently, going up the stairs, heading to where I'm assuming his room is.
"I don't understand why they had to come in the first place. If you needed a hacker, we have one, or at least Baba knows one." Soryu adds, narrowing his eyes at Scarlett.
"You guys didn't tell me you had one first off, and second, she has worked with me many times before, and I trust her. I don't know whoever it is that you guys know. I trust Scarlett, she stays, and so does Kris, that's final." I say, shooting the mobster a glare.
He scratches the back of his neck, narrowing his eyes at me."Well shes's an outsider to us, and we don't know her." Soryu sighs, taking a seat in the lounge. Scarlett shoots him a glare, but before she can say anything, Baba cuts in.
"Well, who are you pretty ladies, I don't believe I caught your names?" he purrs, giving them a playful wink. He kisses Kris's hand, who pulls away from him glaring. He places a feather light kiss on Cecilia's hand next, getting a similar reaction from the blonde, who pulls away also. "Though I already had met the lovely Cecilia here." he adds smoothly, before trying to approach Scarlett next.
Scarlett pulls a gun out, aiming it at the thief."I don't think so. Don't touch me." she says, shooting the thief a glare.
Baba holds his hands up in surrender."Sheesh just like Soryu huh? Quick to pull a gun."he chuckles wrly.
Soryu glares at Baba, pulling out his gun and aiming it at the thief as well."That woman is nothing like me, nor even in the same category." Soryu snaps, still glaring at Baba.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Scarlett snaps, turning her attention to the mobster, who finally stashes his gun after a moment.
"You're a hacker. I'm a mafia boss." He replies simply, while Scarlett stashes her gun back into her purse, swapping it out for a piece of chocolate cake, which she pulls out of a plastic bag that was in her purse.
"Yea and, that mean you're better than me?" she asks, raising her eyebrow at him, while she takes a bite of cake.
"Hey, where'd you get that cake? I want some." Cecilia exclaims, and Scarlett breaks a piece off, handing it to her.
"It's two completely different things." He says warily, meeting her gaze.
She shrugs."You get info don't you? I get info too, maybe a little differently, or maybe you have a hacker." She says, as she suddenly starts typing furiously on her computer. Soryu watches her, and amused expression crossing his features as she types. "Soryu Oh, your grandfather was the previous leader or Boss of the Ice Dragons." She starts, as she pulls a page up, and stops typing."You are not the boss of the gang, you merely are in charge of one branch of it, though you are a high ranking member. Currently you are searching for Mei Ling Lee, daughter of Simon Lee, Simon being the boss of the Bell Crickets, Mei Ling being their princess. You have an alliance with the Bell crickets, which is why you are frantically searching for her, because she was in the middle of transport to you. Is that all correct?" She asks, smirking at the mobster, after basically just verbally bitch slapping him.
A slight blush tints the mobster's cheeks at her words, as he glares, pulling his gun on her. She quickly pulls her gun as well, smirking. "Ohh was I right?" she taunts, standing up, still keeping her gun aimed at him. "Dammit. you made me drop my cake!" She exclaims, glancing at the cake that had fallen when she stood up.
Kris stands up too, drawing a gold desert eagle pistol, and aims at Soryu as well. "Put the gun away asshole. Don't you dare aim at her." she snarls, defending Scarlett. No one lowers their gun, all three not moving an inch. The air in the room extremely tense, compared to a few minutes ago.
"Alright, that's enough! Everyone put their damn guns away. Enough with the pissing contest already!" I yell, and see the corner of Kris's mouth quirk up at my words. "Seriously, we're working together people. So no threatening each other with guns." I add, glaring at Soryu, who though I admit may have gotten insulted, still pulled his gun first.
"Fine." Soryu sighs, pocketing his gun. Seeing him do this, both girls stash theirs, sitting down once more.
"Alright. Soryu, Scarlett has located all the buildings that the Yakuza currently own, narrowing down our search for Mei Ling. I doubt they would trust another gang with her, and I think they would want her close. This narrows down our options, so we can start forming groups to find her."I says, looking to the mobster, who listens quietly.
He nods."Alright. I can get my branch of the Ice dragons to help search. We can't pull them all though."
"I can get Takuto, see if him and his friends will help search.Not exactly their line of work, but similar enough, finding a person instead of art." Baba adds, cutting in.
"Wait. Takuto Hirukawa?" Kris asks, the surprise evident in her tone.
"Yes that Takuto pretty lady." Baba answers winking playfully.
Scarlett burst out laughing suddenly."Small world after all. So Takkun's your hacker. We work with him. We're part of the black foxes too." she says, still laughing.
"Ah the boys had mentioned there were three new members. I occasionally work with the boys, though I go by Lupin." Baba adds, smiling.
"The whole time, you weren't outsiders after all." Soryu mutters, loud enough for us to hear.
"Alright, tomorrow we start scouting locations in small groups then." I announce, and we start forming our search plan.
"I'm coming too!" Cecilia offers, and I nod, shooting her a grateful smile.
