Hitomi walked back to her chair slowly. "Murata and Konno are negotiating with the lawyers of the debtors to see what can be done..."
"You know whatever's gonna come out of this is going to cost you a lot..."
"... I'm ready for that... I'll sell the house in the US if necessary..."
"But, that's Auntie Tsuki's..."
Hitomi clasped her hands on the desk. "I know... and I wouldn't want to part with her property but... Mama's long gone..."
"You know selling that one would be hard... especially now..."
"There is one person who will buy that house for sure."
"I'm not certain yet if selling it would be necessary... That would be the worst case scenario... But for now... I think I might need an extra hand here..."

The Way quickly picked up the phone with the finesse and formality that he was trained in. "Good afterno--"
"Oi... I need to talk to the old pair..." Third crassly butted in.
The Way, surprised at the sudden call and demand chastised the agent. "Third, you know that you are not allowed to call this number nor speak to the former agents."
"This is important... I need to speak with them..."
"I don't know what important information you can get from them that I do not know or is not archived."
Third spoke quickly in her dialect, a bit arrogant, sure that this was something the Way did not know about.
The phone almost fell from his hand at hearing that last thing that Third said. "... Where did you get this information?"
"oh... Here and there... you know I move a lot..."
"Do you know which of them is?"
"Not yet... timelines are messe up... that's why I need to speak to them"
"You know I've lost contact with them since she quitted..."
"I need names, at least..."
"Fine... If this is for the solution of that mystery... and the safety of the young master..."

Ayumi inched closer to Rika as if a few centimeters' distance will keep her from hearing the juisy details that Rika is just about to divulge.
Rika kept her face between her hands to hide the redness that was undeniably there. "Do I really have to tell you..."
"If we weren't in you house this morning while you we doing it, you have every right to keep it to yourselves... but having done it knowing that we were there... girl, you better start talking..."
"Alright already..." Rika admitted defeat as she took in a deep breath. As she exhaled to begin the narration, Ayumi's cellphone rang.
"Damnit!" Ayumi shot a glare at the interuptive object but her expression quickly changed as she saw who was calling. She quickly pressed the answer button. "Yes, Yoshizawa-san... hmm? ... ... ... So you wan't me to take her home early? ... but Joseph's not here yet... ... ... okay... I'll be there as soon as possible..." Ayumi turned to Rika who was looking at her eagerly, knowing that the person who just called was Hitomi.
"Was that her?"
"Yeah, yeah... that was her... Man, you're a lucky girl...I have to get to the office quickly and you're going home..."
"Eh? My time here isn't up yet--"
Right then and there, Joseph entered the room.
Ayumi packed up her things in a rush. "It is now... thanks, Joseph..." She gave him a quick glance before dragging Rika out of the room.
