Chapter 3
Shoe wole up to the sunlight streaming on her face and the sound of a door shutting gently. Her green eyes opened wide at the first twitch of conscience and she shrugged the sleep off her easily. Waking up alert was one of the things she developed while working with the STN-J. Always a sudden call or a summon passed to Toko-san that woke her up from her slumber and after the first odd dozen time which it occurs, she learned that sleeping on a fixed hour is as much as luxury as it can get.
Robin turn her wrist so she can look at the time and quenched the urge to groan when she saw it was almost mid-afternoon.
She pull herself up from the bed into a sitting position and turn to look at Amon. Her chest quickened at the sight of the man and bit her lips to prevent the blush from tainting her cheeks.
He wore a different clothes from yesterday, a button down shirt tucked in jeans and a denim jacket, all in black. She blinked at the sight of Amon in jeans and denim and swept her hair off her face in a nervous gesture.
"Change into these and get ready to leave."
Amon tossed a shopping bag into her lap and she peeked at the contents of the bag. She blushed when she saw a sports bra and a pack of disposable underwear among the item. She rushed into the bathroom and shut the door gently, locking it out of habit and embarrassment more than anything.
She took a closer look to the items inside the bag and try to ignore the fact that Amon bought her underwear A white button down shirt, a brown hoodies, a black jacket and a pair of jeans was in it. In a small zip-me-up bag she found some packets soap, a toothbrush and a small mini Colgate, a bottle of lotion and a shampoo, a pack of hairband and a beanie. There is also some BB cream, powder foundation and a chap-stick and she can guess what those are for and sighed. The basics and some. She took the packet soap and shampoo and took a quick shower, watching the grime from yesterday thoroughly and dressed herself.
Afterward, Robin took out the make-up and start concealing the visible bruises on her face that bloom through the night. She slapped on the make-up until most of the bruises were at least some what faded and tied her hair in a loose bun, pulling the beanie over her head.
Robin stare at her mirror image and for the first time, saw a semblance of a normal teenager looking back at her. Pity she had to be on the run to do it. She tapped a finger at the mirror, grimacing at herself and got out of the bath room.

Dojima tapped one manicured finger on the desk, watching the computer screen absently. She flick the mouse with her hand clicking at random files. She stretched her arms above her head and restir her cooling coffee. Finally...
"I'm bored."
The rest of the STN-J occupants rolled their eyes and went back to their work, ignoring the woman.
"I'm bored!" she repeated, just for good measures and Chief Inspector Shintaro Kosaka slammed the newspaper he was reading on the table and his secretary squeaked in surprise.
"Then go do whatever you want to do and stop hassling us about it!"
"But I don't know what I should do and everything seem so BORING and things has been so quiet lately and I went shopping yesterday and I swear everything seem so last year so I lost interest and even the shoes were all so blah and so I thought I should get started on my winter shopping,"
"It's spring." Hajime said incredulously, "Why would anyone be winter shopping now?"
"It's Dojima." Micheal said simply as if that answer everything and it does.
"But all the winter clothes are so freaking somber! All blacks and browns and earthy colors and I despair!" Dojima continued dramatically.
"So you didn't bought anything?" asked Karasuma and Dojima gasped in mock indignant.
"Of course I bought something! I wouldn't dream of wearing those awful colors but it looks perfect on you so I bought it for you Miho-chan!"
"What?!"
A round of laughter filled the room at Dojima exclamation and she grinned cheekily at Karasuma annoyed eyes. She spun in her chair and pushed herself to Karasuma.
Micheal shook his head at Dojima crazy action and half listened to the two women bickered amicably.
A ping took his attention and he saw that an email had got through his firewall and now lay in his inbox; seemingly harmless. Micheal eyes widen and he cursed.
He backed up his drive and put up some defaults for in-cases and with an apprehensive breath clicked the email opened. And Micheal jaw dropped.
