"Where is it?"

"Where is what Kida-kun?"

"Don't think I don't see what your up to Mikado!"

"Huh?"

"You are hoping that by taking my pencil you can keep me from my homework! You couldn't be more wrong, since it will be the instrument to my success! "

"What on earth is he talking about? " I scratch my head trying to figure this kid out.

"I am right here 'thing 2', besides,  you don't look like you have ever gotten chick's before."

He continues to rant for awhile as Mikado finishes his food. Somehow we have agreed to meet on Fridays to eat sushi. To be honest I am grateful but I won't be telling them anytime soon. 

"Have you found a job yet?"

I think so. I nod and I look up to see him smiling kindly at me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The job is simple, get the merchandise into the right persons hands.  I held the small package in my pocket. The obviously illegal object was going to a man of high class, so this had to be subtle but fast.

I leaned on the bar with my elbows while I waited.  The bar is filed with many people making it impossible to see very far.

I have been waiting here for over an hour just sipping from my glass of iced orchata.

The bar tender took my glass and pointed to the door as a man in a suit walked in. Three big men and a young woman walked in with him.

I nodded my thanks to the bar tender and walked past his woman looking him in the eyes. When his eyes meet mine I nod my head letting him know it's me.

His eyes look me up and down before he motions me toward the bathroom. I quickly walk away towards the utilities.

My heart is speed beating for my first attempt. I open the door and walk to the sink turning on the water.

The door creaks open as high class shoes walk to the faucet beside me.

"Nice day isn't it?"

"About to be." He reaches up quickly drying his hands placing a small bundle of money in a wad of paper towels.

I pull the towel to my chest over my pocket letting the bundle fall into it. I dry my hand off and let the paper towel hover my pants pocket a moment before lifting it and the package up towards him.

"Thanks."

"No, thank you." He takes a moment to look me up and down again. "New right?"

I nod shrugging and he smiled softly "If you are interested I have an odd job for you, if you are short on cash."

"What kind of job?"
