Lost and found

6. Strippers

Ochako was on the subway heading to her first job. After talking to Maisie for a few hours she decided that she should just dress like security to blend in. Uraraka put her blazer on and walked towards the club. She's greeted by the owner who seemed nice? Not that she had much experience meeting strip club owners. They proceeded to give her a tour of the club including the back of house areas.
"So is it being stolen from your lockers?" Ochako asks one of the girls who introduced herself as Hana. 
"Yea  we've never had a problem before. Its weird because our locks are still on but the money is missing." Hana towers over Ochako in her heels. She pets her hair gently. "You're so little and cute ! Are you going to be able to fend for yourself?"
"Thanks but I should be ok I've had combat training in the past."  Ochako steps out of reach of the head pats. "I think the thief would notice if I hung out here all night. Is it ok if I set up my camera to point at the lockers I can chill on the rooftop until something happens."
"Why don't you just chill in the break room?"
"What if its a staff member?"
"Oh I guess that's true." Hana goes to her locker and fishes out a large thermos. "Take this with you, its rice roasted tea."

Ochako paces up and down the roof top trying to keep warm, she keeps her eye on her phone which has the live video streaming. She is grateful that Hana gave her the tea since its freezing. So far nothing interesting has happened, girls come in grab their stuff, leave. Ochako jumps up and down wanting to keep warm, its almost midnight hopefully the culprit comes by when the club is busy. After another 20 min Ochako punches the air in excitement. GOT YOU BITCH!  
Ochako hurries excitedly to apprehend the thief, she's giddy with excitement. 

"STOP!" Ochako yells. The cleaner stops, their arm is phased into the locker.
"Sorry Miss I'll be done soon." She says as she puts her hands in her pockets.
"Return the money now."
"I don't understand sorry. I'm just cleaning up." 
Ochako begins to walk towards the cleaner but she pushes her cart at the vigilante before legging it out of the room. Ochako begins her pursuit and tackles her to the ground. She kicks and scratches at Ochako but is easily subdued t. Ochako restrains the cleaner and they hold her in the break room until the police arrive. Hana hugs Ochako grateful she caught the thief.
"I was mistaken little one you are totally bad ass." She hands Ochako an envelope. "This is a bit extra, everyone was really grateful and pooled a bit extra for you."
"Its ok really ...but thank you." Ochako accepts the envelope.
"Oh your cheek is bleeding!" Hana pulls Ochako towards the change room and grabs the first aid kit. 
"Yea I guess doing this type of work will result in a few bumps" She puts her hand against the dressing Hana applied to her face.
"Don't worry I put my special ointment, you wont scar."
"Thank you if you ever need any help in future please call me." Ochako beams at her before she leaves. 

When Ochako arrives back at the bar she is greeted by Maisie clapping, giving her a solo standing ovation. 
"That's a bit too much Maisie."
"Never ! First job is always the best! It deserves a drink on the house!"
"Err Maisie aren't you going to get in trouble for giving out free drinks?"
Maisie shrugs not concerned. "So you are a real vigilante now aren't you! Pass me your phone."
Ochako hands over her phone and watches Mei scan it over an EFTPOS looking machine. "Ok you are all paid now!"
"Wow that easy?"
"Yup there's actually another job for you might like. Patrolling a neighborhood between 10:00pm to 3:00 AM. You are strictly to stay away from the construction site though, that's Yakuza territory, we don't fuck with it. The days which are available are Thursday and Saturday... sorry you are a bit late people already picked up the other days."
"Oh could I just take the Thursday?"
"Yea no problem it will pay $100 a night." She hands Ochako a card with a number. "Just text here to check in on the night and check out... if anything happens you can report it to this number as well via text. Also you look really good in a suit!"
