Monsters of HoloSantos [Suisei x Sora] [HoloGTA]

Chapter 4: Invitation to Disaster

"Hmm, I really didn't expect her to get away from that." Suisei scratched her head, her brows furrowed.

After finding someone who kindly allowed Suisei to borrow their car with some persuasion, she quickly drove by to pick Sora up. However, Sora was nowhere to be seen where she left her before.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings. A set of tire tracks that looked quite new caught her eye. When she went through her memory, she recalled a certain ambulance that flashed by when she was trying to find a ride earlier. Suisei had hidden herself in a hurry after hearing a siren from a distance, but when she recalled where it had come from, the dots began to connect in her mind.

"I see... Someone's being a little nosy, huh?" Suisei murmured with a smirk.

Judging by the expensive ambulance that passed earlier, she could already guess the person behind this. Just as she came up with her suspicion, her phone began ringing in her pocket. Suisei pulled out her phone and checked the displayed number before letting out a chuckle.

She picked up the call and answered in an exaggerated cheerful voice, "Gosh, if it isn't the hospital director! To what do I owe the honor of receiving a call from such a busy person?"

The voice from the phone replied in a friendly manner, "Hahaha, you don't need to be so formal, Suisei! Aren't we gambling buddies?"

"No, no, I really shouldn't! Besides, you really are someone who's busy." Suisei replied with a sharp glint in her eyes. "Well, that's probably because you managed to busy yourself with my business."

"..."

Fubuki immediately fell silent after detecting the shift in mood behind Suisei's voice. Even though they had known each other for a while in the casino, she could never get used to the sudden changes that Suisei would occasionally exhibit.

"Tell me, Fubuki." Suisei dropped all manners of honorifics and spoke to her roughly, "What the hell did you do to Sora?"

Fubuki attempted to smooth things over carefully, "H-Hey, you know that I would never inconvenience you on purpose, right? I just happened to see someone in need and helped her, that's all."

"You just happened to see someone hidden inside a bush while you're driving down the road? You must have quite the eyesight, director! Should I pluck your eyes out to verify how good they are?"

Suisei spoke lightly, but the threat contained within was anything but light. Fubuki knew very well that Suisei would follow through with her threats if her mood continued to worsen. Talking to her ended up being much more difficult than she expected.

At the end, Suisei demanded haughtily, "Just cut the bullshit and tell me what you want."

"...Alright, but just know that I had no choice, okay? Subaru asked me to get her, and I would've been in trouble if I didn't bring her back." Fubuki explained her excuse.

"It's not my problem, so why should I care about that? Get to the point already," Suisei complained while leaning against the car.

"This girl..." Fubuki grumbled under her breath but followed Suisei's demand. "Look, I'm calling you behind Subaru's back right now, so I'm risking my neck here! I'm willing to help you out with getting Sora back!"

"Hooo, that's awfully nice of you. Mind telling me why you're doing this?" Suisei asked with a smirk.

"Because you're my gambling buddy, of course!" Fubuki answered with a hint of cheeriness in her voice. "Plus, I hate how Subaru kept telling me what to do. I'm a hospital director, not a police officer! I'm already busy enough as it is!"
