Solo Mission

Night begins to creep over the city. For the moment, I was in my office working on a few things. It had been a while since I heard from Sanzon, which was odd, since I sent the Kami to Onitoshi on recon. I wonder if he’d forgotten the mission. It was a win-win situation for me. If Sanzon went and got himself killed in hell, then I wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with him anymore. If he came back, then we would have valuable information on grounds to attack our unknown enemy. He hadn’t been spotted within the city, since we’re normally able to keep up with his movements through the nanites in his system.

I move my thoughts from that to other things as I lean back taking a break from my paperwork. I wondered how things were going with the rookie. I knew that she reacted rather strongly to the realm training scenario, so because of that, I was a bit worried about her. I had hopes for her and she seemed like she would suck up the experience, but I still didn’t know how she would handle a real world situation. I glance to my computer and give a verbal command to pull up the patrol list and browsed to my section. Tapp and Ted had the night off and Michael was working special projects. Ingel had been stationed on a special project as well, so that left Nikki with one of her first solo patrols of the Lower Commons. “Hmm…” I murmur lightly. I figured nothing big would happen on a normal nightly patrol, but one could never tell. It had been a while since I had been on a patrol, so I figure that I could perform it with her, keep her company and observe her. A book on my desk said that it was important to get to know those under me, or something like that.

“Izumi,” I call into the room ahead of me to have Nikki contacted. I realize that Izumi still hadn’t returned yet, thus leaving me without a secretary. “Crap…” I murmur lightly as I reach for my cell phone having to do manual labor. I thumb in Nikki’s number and put it on speaker, placing the phone on my desk as I waited for her to answer, leaning back into my chair.

It was late, and I had been out running and practicing in order to keep up with the boys on my team within the division. Being the only woman on the team was not as easy as some would think. I had gotten back to my flat at around ten to nine, which gave me enough time to eat a quick dinner and take a long and warm shower. The warm water really did miracles on the body, as all the tension and stress seemed to simply disappear with the steam and be replaced by peace and a sleep, which was only the reason why I went to bed right after showering. Almost an hour after I fell asleep, my phone started ringing somewhere in the flat.

At first, the ringing did not seem to bother me, but the more it rang and the higher the sound became, the more I wanted to kill the other person that was the one who was calling me. “You got to be joking me” I whined as I dragged myself out of the bed, using one hand to rub my eyes and the other to look around for the phone. I found the phone in the kitchen, which were extremely cold which led to me jumping to get the phone, and jumping back onto the carpeted floor of my combined living and bed room. “Nikki, who am I speaking to?” I say as cheerful and non-murderous as I possibly could at this hour, trying to rather seem friendly to the person I would be talking to.
