Moonlight Flower

Chapter 4 - Unmask

Musica, Clarence and Sora were talking seriously with their client. He had eyeglasses and in school uniform. By his looks, he must be a well-rounded student.

The student said, "I want you to find the names of the remaining assassins of Hades."

They were surprised to hear him said that. It was a week now since they first heard of Hades.

"How come you know about Hades?" Musica asked. "Can an ordinary student know that?"

"To tell the truth," the student said, lowering his head. "My brother might be one of those assassins." Tears were falling down from his eyes. "Please confirm if he is really a member."

The same student was inside a fast food store, eating hamburger. Someone came to his table, smiling fiendishly.

"Who are you?" he asked softly.

"I'm Claire," she said. The one who approached him was indeed Claire.

"May I help you?"

"I'm an acquaintance of Musica from Argent Securities. I heard you want to know if your brother is one of Hades assassin."

"Yes, that's right!"

"Is Jonathan Webb the name of your brother?"

"Yes, that's him! How did you know?"

Claire looked sharply at his eyes. "I'll throw back the question to you. How did you know Hades?"

"Like I said before, I researched because I'm worried that my brother might be a member of it."

"But Hades is a secret organization. They just appear and reveal themselves to their target." She sharpened her stare more. "I am saying that you are a member of Hades."

"What?!" he exclaimed. "How can I be? I'm just a student."

"Ok, fine," she said, standing up. "Make sure you don't bump on me next time ahead."

She came out from that place. "I need to stop them from investigating Hades," she said to herself while walking down the street. "I've heard that they are the best group ever. I can't let them know about it."

Outside the said fast food, there was someone spying on Claire. He started when she came in there until she left. That person was none other than Musica.

"Who is this Claire, really?" he told himself. "She seems different now compare to the first time I met her. No, more than that. She seems like a complete different person. Like she's just...."

Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello."

"Hi, Mr. Musica, I'm John, your client," answered the caller.

Musica peeked through the glass window. He saw the same student doing the telephone call. He still didn't show up to him even though he's just outside. "Yes? What can I do for you now?"

"Are you starting now with the investigation?"

"Yeah, my other partners are doing it now."

"I'm sorry. I'm canceling my request."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm very wrong when I said that my brother might be a Hades assassin. Actually, he just phoned me an hour ago. Moreover, a girl came and told me that he really isn't one of them. I'm really sorry for wasting your time."

"Oh... it's fine," Musica replied, out-of-mind. He must be thinking of something.

"But I'll pay you the cancellation payment, personally. Can we meet at the Forest Park? 6:00 PM."
