Our plans were set into motion a day later. I was now walking up the alleyway behind the Doctor's office the White-Clad worked from. Takashi had explained they store the bugs in the storage room in the office.

I jumped the fence and ducked down low to the ground as I sneaked across the back lawn. I moved to the bathroom window that had been left open from Haggu coming in as part of our plan. She had caused a fuss by knocking something over and then went to the bathroom before leaving the place. She opened the small window for me to sneak into. 

I looked around the darkened yard. Once I listened and heard nothing out of the ordinary i jumped up to the thin window and used the wall to push myself up and into the building. I grabbed onto the stall and pulled myself upright as I brought my legs in. I dropped down to the floor as quietly as I could. 

I listened again. A could hear the hum of the a/c and the buzz of the emergency lights. I stood slowly and turned back to the window. It was time to signal Takeru and let him know I was okay so that he could start the next part of the mission. 

I willed my fire into a couple of small orbs and allowed them to float out the window into the dark sky. Takeru would then call Captian Honda and have them make a big fuss about being here while looking for the White-Clad. If we were right they would come here and start a fire to get rid of any evidence. 

I leaned against the wall next to the door. I listened to the building as I waited. Aoi and Takashi would probably be with people who come. Takashi would pretend to help and Aoi would knock them out as soon as they get into the building away from any eyes. 

I could feel my nerves rising with my unease and along with it, my scar tingling from being so close to the other bugs. It was a sign we were in the right place and that there were vials containing bugs here. I looked at the pale blue ceiling that was notably darker in the dark bathroom. My thoughts turned back to Takeru. Was he okay? I felt fluttering in my chest at the thought of him running into trouble.

I could hear sirens in the distance as Company Two blared their horns and road through the streets. I felt relief flood my chest in the next few moments of listening to the horns. A second later I could hear a door open and people talking. I pressed my ear against the wall and listened to the conversation.

"We will start a fire as soon as we get these three boxes with vials in it to the truck waiting outside," A male voice spoke and I heard a thump.

"You sure this will fit?" Takashi's voice asked.

"Yeah it will," A woman's voice came next.

"Are you the only two who came?" Aoi asked and I could hear shuffling.

"The only two who could come at short notice," The male's voice answered, "That's because of your notice that the fire force was moving." 

"You have my sister," Takashi sneered, "I have to do this."

"That's right," The male chuckled, "Pretty girl I wouldn't mind getting to know her If you know what I mean."

I then heard a shout and then silence came from the hall. I waited a minute before opening the door and hurrying down into the storage area. Aoi was tying up the large male and Takashi was doing the same to the woman. 

"Good job you two," I smiled and then noticed they had already taken off the gear they were wearing, "You two work fast."

"Have to," Aoi answered and then threw the set of clothes I would be wearing at me.

I caught them in mid-air and then shrugged out of my own clothes. The other men turned away or busied themselves. I slipped on the revealing dress-like robe. My thigh was exposed to the air if you looked close you could see the scar that marked my side. My arms were bare and my wrist had black cuffs. I grabbed the veil that would cover my face. It was thin and see-through to a point. I shook myself and then glanced towards Aoi and Takashi.
