SHEEP MEAT [hiatus] [and im very sorry]

The short-haired girl entered a small old and rusty building. It was dark and full of dust inside. Spider webs can be seen at the corner of its walls. Some of the furniture are covered with white sheets. She entered an elevator at the end of the room.

The girl pressed some buttons inside the elevator. She placed her hand on a small screen. The system seemed to recognize her and the elevator went underground.

"TING"

The elevator opened. From there, she entered their headquarters. It was wide and well lit, completely opposite of the room above which is just a front. "I'm back"

"Yeah, I know" replied a tall girl with glasses in front of multiple monitor computers, looking at the screens full of different footage from a lot of surveillance cameras.

"Hey Risa, how did the job go?" the girl asked her, not even looking at her.

"Fine... I guess " Risa replied.

"Just—" she added.

"Hmm?"

"Nevermind. It's nothing important" Risa didn't tell her about her encounter with a high school girl. And the fact that the girl saw her face.

"If you say so" the girl continued typing on her computer.

Risa sat on a couch and began removing her shoes. "Hey Habu, where's Hirate and Nen?"

"Nen's arranging stuffs with one of our clients. As for Hirate.... she'll be back a day or two after she finish her job" Habu informed her.

"Hmm... So, how's your girlfriend doing in Antarctica" Risa teased the tall girl.

"Probably playing with penguins in the snow" Habu joked.

"Haven't seen Koike in a while"

"Yeah"

Risa rested her head on the couch and closed her eyes for a short nap. But before she could really sleep, Habu interrupted her.

"Moriya Madonna's here." The megane girl faced her and pointed on the screen. "In 3... 2... 1!"

"TING"

The elevator opened, revealing a girl wearing a black robe with a green right triangle symbol, hands on the robe's pocket.

"I'm back~" Nen greeted, walking out of the elevator.

"I know" Habu responded, looking at the girl who just arrived.

"I know you know" Nen countered, not wanting to lose even on a very small matter. "Also, didn't I tell you to remove the 'TING' sound of the elevator? It feels like coming out of an oven"

"Aye aye captain" Habu giggled. Though she said that, she will not do anything about it.

Akane was on her way to the refrigerator when she noticed Risa on the sofa.

"Oh Risa! You're already here" said Akane.

Risa looked at Akane and greeted her. "Hi" She leaned again on the couch, trying to sleep.

Akane took out three canned beers from the fridge. She walked towards the resting Risa and placed the cold canned beer on her cheek. "The client contacted me. He was very satisfied with your work so he raised the pay. As expected of you Risa, our dear Ace"

"Hmm.. yeah whatever" the sleepy girl stated a little irritated because her friends are not letting her have the rest she needs.

"Hey Habu! Catch" shouted Akane as she threw one of the canned beer to the geek girl.
