The Worth of a Picture

She knocked frantically on her boss' door, anxiously waiting for him to open up. Trying to mentally retrace her steps yet again, Namie could only see the lost picture of her precious younger brother in her mind. This was the only place left she hadn't checked and the most likely place. Really, she would have checked earlier, but even with the pull of her love for Seiji, going near that bastard's place 2 hours earlier than necessary was difficult. She pounded on the door again and finally it opened. Well, it opened, but that asshole didn't let her in. All she heard was,"Namie... Go away" before the door closed again.

Refusing to leave before finding the picture of her precious brother, she forced the door open. Once inside after a quick look around her desk Namie found it sitting under her chair perfectly fine. She was just about to leave again when Izaya limped passed her to get some pain relievers. Sighing because her boss might give her more work if he was sick, she asked him what was wrong. Smirking he snickered,"You don't want to know".

Suddenly he freezes. His smirk is instantly replaced with a grimace as she hears the stairs creak. She looked and saw... Wait wasn't Heiwajima Shizuo something like Izaya's not-so-mortal enemy? What was he doing walking down the stairs of Izaya's loft? In his pajamas too. Shizuo seemed surprised to see her as well. Izaya smirked again and sung "Ohaiyo Shizu-chan~".

Said Shizu-chan ignored the greeting glaring at the intruder. "Who is she?"

Izaya sighed dramatically. "Yagiri Namie age 25, born November 21st, weight-"

Shizuo glared at him,"You know what I mean."

Izaya sighed again,"My secretary."

Shizuo simply nodded in response and continued to the kitchen where he started to make breakfast. Namie didn't know how to respond. On one hand Izaya had no reason to know all that about her. On the other... Why is The Monster of Ikebukuro here in Shinjuku cooking his enemy breakfast? Shizuo glanced over his shoulder and looked at Izaya for a moment before asking, "Should I make breakfast for her too?"

Izaya swallowed his pills, shrugged and said, "If you want".

Namie then snapped back into reality when she realized they were talking about her. "No need." She replied cooly, "I'm going back home to make breakfast for Seiji-kun".

Izaya laughed and sung,"There you have it Shizu-chan~"

This time it was Shizuo's turn to shrug as he turned back to the task at hand. Namie turned to leave wanting to get away from those two and back to Seiji. Just before she passed through the door Izaya came up behind her and whispered,"Tell anyone about this and you can expect more than just a pay cut."

Surprised, Namie looked back at a grinning Izaya who sung in a cheerful voice,"Bye bye~ Come back soon!"
