Pandora's Gift

Chapter 4

The remainder of their time spent watching the building was quite aside from when someone important was spotted. But neither of the two tried to strike up a conversation again nor did they try to irritate each other. It was actually not nearly as bad as Sakaki had originally anticipated it to be. But they didn't mean the hours didn't drag on. By the time two sidekicks showed up to take their place for the night shift Sakaki was more than happy to stretch her stiff body out as she walked beside boom boom boy heading back to his agency.

They would talk with Kirishima on what they saw and then she could head home. That gave a new pep to her step. Which apparently didn't go unnoticed by mister grouchy pants beside her.

"You sure got a lot of fucking energy for someone who just finished a twelve hour stake out," he growled at her.

"I do. I'm not used to sitting for so long. I'm accustomed to being on my feet all day doing shit," she said it wasn't a complete lie either. She was accustomed to spending her days patrolling, tackling criminals or training with Miruko. She didn't wish to add that like a child freed from the confinement of school she wanted nothing more than to head home. She was just chomping at the bit to get home and relax.

Her nest was calling her name when she got home. Curl up with her blankets and maybe watch a movie or something to unwind and just be herself. Get away from the stress of being a hero for a few minutes. She would indulge her omega instincts with the feeling of relaxing in her nest of pillows and blankets.

Walking into the agency Sakaki followed after Bakugou as he led the way up to the shared office the two men had. She still had a hard time believing the two could get along so well, at times she truly wondered if the two were more than friends. It was incredibly rare but she had heard a case or two where alpha's would bond. The only difference was that neither man had a bond mark. Their necks were bare of any scars. That was probably the only thing that kept the media at bay with the same assumptions. Hell they still tried some days.

Walking into the room Kirishima was sitting at his desk in civilian clothes. Or really it looked like some workout clothes as he wore a grey hoodie and matching sweats. And of course the second he spotted his two friends his face lit up.

"Bakugou, Sakaki, how was your stake out?" He asked, smiling a wide sharp toothed grin at both of them. Sakaki found herself pulling her mask down to rest around her neck so she could return the smile to the red head.

"Boring," the two answers at the same time in a completely matching bored tone. Kirishima couldn't even hold back as his head was tossed back and he let out a bellow of a laugh as both Sakaki and Bakugou glared at each other. Sakaki waited for Kirishima to calm down before she continued with the report.

"We saw a few people we have linked to the head of the group. But Taoka Kazuo himself was nowhere to be seen. We will need to keep an eye out on the warehouse for him but may have to keep our eyes out for him elsewhere," Sakaki said simply informing Kirishima of what they had seen or better yet who they had not seen and her personal thoughts.

"Our source is solid; he will show up there. We just need to wait it out. I say leave some extras keeping an eye on the place and we can make sure we are ready to move in at a moment's notice," Bakugou argued with Sakaki wanting to just leave the boring work to his poor sidekicks or whoever he would assign the boring ass job to. Even though that's what she said though she felt they should still look for him elsewhere.

"But we know that's not the only warehouse he owns. We should continue to look for the others and look for him or someone closer to him. Otherwise who knows how long we could be waiting," she argued. Sakaki had no desire to be stuck on this mission longer than she had to be. Leaving some sidekicks to watch that warehouse was fine. But she still felt the need to go looking for the man. She couldn't just sit back and wait weeks if not months. She wanted to get back to working with Miruko as soon as she possibly could.
