dojima_himeThere had been an Inquisitor, sent from Rome, in Tokyo. Zaizen had, of course, ordered the Chief to keep all Hunters and support staff away from the man, except for Robin and Amon, who were to be his escort. Karasuma and Sakaki were sent out to bring in the subject. Ditzy Dōjima, of course, was sent to investigate other Witch sightings and scope out some locations, keeping her loud-mouth as far from the Inquisitor from Headquarters as possible.
Which was perfectly fine with Yurika, as she had no desire to get anywhere near someone from Headquarters who could possibly ID her as one of Juliano's operatives.
It had apparently gone as well as could be expected, although a Hunt order had soon been served on the man the Inquisitor had supposedly been sent to appraise as a potential Hunter. More disturbing was the fact that the priest had apparently been Robin-chan's Inquisitor, and Yurika knew damn well that there was no such thing as coincidence when Juliano was involved.
Things had gone back to normal after that, or at least as normal as they ever were at the STN-J. Dōjima was still looking for her slippery-Witch target, one she was beginning to doubt existed, and so she'd brought along a friend. Or, rather, a boyfriend. On her investigation. In her defense, it made her look less like a cop, and more like someone's worried sister looking for a family member. But even Hunters and their assistants needed to eat, and eventually they'd headed back to the STN-J, where there was usually take-out from Harry's laying around.

"Hey, Miho, did I hear someone call you an old lady?"

Date: 2010-12-22 06:45 pm (UTC)"Where did you find that?" he added curiously, sauntering toward the baggie. "Is that used?"
no subject
Date: 2010-12-22 06:53 pm (UTC)He actually liked the blonde Hunter's boyfriend a bit more than he liked Dōjima most days. "Hey, Romeo. Yeah, it's used. Robin gave it to Michael to analyze, but won't say where she found it."
"Oh, and thanks for looking, how was it?"
no subject
Date: 2010-12-22 06:54 pm (UTC)She stuck out one hand for the little baggie expectantly. "Can we see?"

That was the question, wasn't it, and Dōjima's eyes lit up with a Plan. "Karasuma! Try scrying it!"

Date: 2010-12-22 08:01 pm (UTC)Miho shrugged and took it back from Dōjima, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them in shock.
"No will left in them, right?" Michael asked. "Nothing to see?"
"That's the thing with these bullets; they work against all Craft. See this sigal here? It negates any power that touches it, and it can't hold impressions from people who have touched it. Some of the offices outside of Japan still use them on high profile or sensitive cases, because it's nearly impossible to track a bullet back to an individual Hunter."

Date: 2010-12-22 08:38 pm (UTC)"Witch hunting bullets," Yurika said softly, fear starting to take root in her stomach. "And a phantom witch..." What the hell was a little kid like Robin involved in?
Miho seemed to shake herself out of it. "Where are Amon and Robin?" she asked Dōjima shortly.
"The site from yesterday -- " Oh. Oh, this could not be good.

Date: 2010-12-22 09:00 pm (UTC)"Trap," she confirmed, not stopping. "Dōjima, give Michael everything you have on this supposed Witch, including locations Amon's had you scouting. Maps, suspects, informants, everything."
"Hai!" Yurika waited until Michael and Karasuma were discussing check-in times before turning to Romeo. "We'll go out in a bit," she said in a low voice. "Once Michael gets focused on his work, and they can't forbid me from taking a non-Hunter into a situation like this."

Date: 2010-12-22 09:06 pm (UTC)"As you wish, of course," he said, but with folded arms that made it clear he didn't really feel that way. "Are you sure they'd even notice where I am?"
no subject
Date: 2010-12-22 09:12 pm (UTC)"Let Miho and Haruto deal with the legwork for us. We're going to play detective on the bullet."
