True to her feline nature Kara had grown pretty adept at sleeping soundly. If you asked her, then she probably wouldn’t be able to explain it herself, but there was some kind of equalibrium that she had always managed to find with their enviroment and as such even in her sleep she was able to decipher which sounds belonged and which ones didnt. For instance somehow Kara could somehow tell the footsteps of someone trying to crouch and sneak around her, but if one were to approach naturally then Kara would continue to sleep. That being the case the mink would be caught completely off guard if a certain little demon who happened to act like she owned the place barged in yelling ”OI RISE AND SHINE KITTY WE GOT WORK! COME ON UP AND AT EM!!” ”HUH! WHAT! WHAT’S GOING ON!” within an instant Kara had jumped out of the bed and found herself crouching on the floor in a panic as her eyes quickly darted from one direction to another. ”BWAHAHAHAHA!! THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS!” Eto laughed boisterously as she savored the look on Kara’s face. Kara on the other hand finally realizing the reality of the situation was now quite perturbed. The two had only been rooming together, but even now this was far from the first of the woman’s hijinks. In the few days that they had been together it appeared to be as if Eto was in a constant challlenge of trying Kara’s patience. On missions Kara was only given half the needed information, and with any assistance that Kara provided there was never any thanks, but rather there was an awkward silence that usually followed. Truthfully she had half a mind to confront the little devil, but since the two had to work together and Eto was in fact her senior Kara decided to let it be. After getting dressed Eto would often drag Kara off to undisclosed locations. Sometime it was for a stakeout, other times it was a crime bust. Criminal activity had been really active as of late due the coming festival. Multitudes of attractions lined the streets and at the end of the festivities there was a fireworks show. The problem with all of this was however that the sudden increase in traffic acted as the perfect guise for low lives to come to the island. There were kidnapper, pickpockets, and even criminal meet ups for illegal transactions, and because of this Kara and Eto often spent times investigating acting as lookouts in order to aid local officials, they were given Den den mushi to communicate. Remaining inconspicuous was paramount to the job, but it also made it rather boring. For the most part Kara felt that she had good eyes so the job itself wasn’t at all difficult. Occasionally Kara would find her vision swaying towards children with their parents. Though she didn’t feel any sense of longing to have children of her own Kara would be lying if she said she didn’t idolize the bond that families had. Anytime she would allow her thoughts to drift upon that particular topic Kara always felt the need to quickly pull herself away from the train of thought and refocus. Nothing good could come from such wishing, and for now all she could do was best at what she could. The job lasted about twelve hours in total before their shift finally ended, and as such the two were free to leave. With a yawn Kara felt a sense of exhaustion take over her as she ran her fingers through her head and began turning around to head back to her room. Turning around however, what crossed into her vision was what looked like a mummy with a single glowing red eye. ”Yikes, Eto don’t sneak up on me like that!” Kara said in a somewhat hushed tone, while sounding somewhat frustrated. Before Kara could continue on chastising her a bandaged wrapped finger was pushed gently against Kara’s lips. ”Shhh. Follow me.” arching an eyebrow Kara couldn’t help, but feel that the small woman was acting strange, but she followed her none the less. Her shift was over anyway, and there was the possiblilty that whatever Eto was trying to bring to her attention could be something important. Traveling quickly and quietly, the two moved two blocks over to a corner of the festival area where the population seemed to be a bit more sparse. There the two waited behind the corner of a building as they looked on into the plaza. First a few minutes passed, then a few hours. ”Oi Eto, what exactly are we supposed to be looking for exactly? Kara said looking somewhat tired. ”Shhhh” Eto said once again putting her hand over Kara’s mouth, but this time the small oni pointed her finger up towards a nearby building across the plaza. It was quite a distance, but the mink could just barely make out a man with a pair of binoculars peering back down at the plaza, and from what she could tell the man’s sights....seemed to be set on a small family consisting of a father, and a mother who was carrying a sleeping child with her. ”Wait, didn’t i see that woman leave before with a different guy?.... and that kid is different too. In fact the kid before looks nothing like the one that they had now” The first course of action to pop into Kara’s mind seeing this was to report the occurrence to the authoritie’s, but even then its not like she had anything concrete. After not too long Kara could see the small family start to move. [”Keep in contact with me with the mini den den mushi, I’ll try to find a back route so that i can follow them and avoid being spotted.” without disagreement Eto more or less complied as Kara raced off to find a safe route to follow the family while Eto relayed the course of the family for as far as she could before the family finally disappeared into the distance. Thankfully as Kara raced around to find where the family had went she was somehow able to catch up. Still not ready to confront the group just yet Kara looked on from the shadows behind the buildings. Looking on Kara still couldn’t see much out of place about the family, there hadn’t been any reports of missing children. Thinking logically there wasn’t even any proof that the woman that the man is with now or the one that he was with before was his wife or even his girlfriend. No, no, no, she wasn’t suspecting them she was just checking. Scanning the crowd looked to see if there was any other observer that was paying the couple any undue attention. It took a while, but Kara could make out that a couple stand vendors were being careful not to let their eyes leave the group, and there was another individual not too far behind attempting to look inconspicuous. The whole situation was indeed sketchy. Even if the family themselves weren’t the kidnappers looking at the situation there was definitely a chance that they were being targetted. A bit at a loss Kara continued shadowing the family relaying their position back to Eto. Eto in turn relayed the information to the other officers, giving them a description of the individuals of interest, and in addition Eto warned the officers to not engage until further notice.

As Kara continued following the family the sun began to set. As this was the last day of the festival it was they would shortly begin the fireworks, and as the area started to darken the woman that had been standing with the man removed the sleeping child from her shoulder and handed him to the man. Having handed over the boy the woman turned and left the two, but as she did Kara felt something off about the woman’s expression....though there was no exact cue, the feeling that Kara got from the woman was somewhat distressed and melancholy. ”Oi Eto. You remember that woman from that family that we were surveiling? See if you can have one of the officers on duty to detain her for a while.” naturally the oni wanted to know why Kara asked for such a request, but the mink was suddenly distracted as she saw some of the men that were tailing the family from before start to close in. The men seemed somewhat happy as they seemed to be grinning for some reason, a few of them with gold teeth full on display, and another with wild blonde hair covered by a navy blue cap, a dragon tattoo over his face, and a pair of shades covering his eyes. That man in particular seemed somewhat familiar. Pausing for a minute Kara thought hard in order to try and put a name with the man’s face, and within moments it came to her. Johnny Red, a pirate that works with the underworld in human trafficking. Having finally identified the man the pieces were starting to come together. Casually Kara emerged from the from the shadows of the building and began approaching the group. As she did, it didn’t take long for the men to notice Kara’s approach, something interesting though was that a few of them didnt seem all that unhappy to see her. “Well what do we have here?” Johnny said towards Kara with a slight grin on his face. A few of the other men mirrored Johnny’s expresssion, with the exception being the man who was holding the child. He seemed somewhat nervous. To avoid making the man feeling even more wary Kara made sure to focus most of her attention on Johnny and his other friends as she spoke. ”I’m sorry to interrupt this fun little get together you guys have going , but i’m new to this town and i just got ditched by my idiot of a boyfriend. Would one of you strapping young guys be so kind as to show me where i the viewing for the fireworks is being held.” Kara said gently while adding a hint of flirtatiousness in her body language. It didn’t take long for Kara to note a hint of lust in the men’s eyes. “I-I’m really sorry miss, but we are a little busy right now. Maybe if you come by the docks a little later me and you can enjoy a little fireworks of our own.” Johnny said putting his hand on Kara’s waist. Just having the man touch her felt disgusting, but Kara did her best not to let her true feelings shine through. Instead she tried turning up the heat by pulling at her T-shirt in order to get some air into her cleavage giving Johnny a clear view of her abundant chest. ”Are you sure?” I really wanted to enjoy the fireworks, and I would be really grateful if you could spare a bit of time to help me out.” Kara said with a hint of blush on her face as she looked up into Johnny’s eyes. Though Kara couldn’t exactly say that she was a pro at this kind of thing she was definitely somewhat experienced. The mink knew her weapons, had no qualms with using them when she had to, and looking at Johnny’s face which had now gone from a mischievous smirk to a stupid grin, she seemed to have struck a cord. “Y-ya know fella’s the court for the viewing isn’t really that fa-“ “Oi Johnny.” The man holding the child interrupted with a somewhat serious look on his face as if he was wordlessly trying to tell Johnny to keep his head straight. “Tsk.” Johnny clicked his tongue in disappointment. “Sorry- honey maybe so-“ before the man could finish Kara slipped away and began moving towards the man carrying the kid. Her original plan was to bring the group to the fireworks area where there were the highest concentration of officers that would be waiting for them, but with the guy holding the kid being so against it such a plan was probably not possible, so the mink would have to change tactics. ”Oh what a cute kid, are you the father? How old is he?” Upon getting close to the kid Kara crouched down and began stroking the sleeping child’s hair in an apparent attempt to dote on the child. “OI GET BACK SKANK!!” The man shouted as he pulled the kid out of Kara’s reach. The man seemed rieally antsy to the point that it even caught the men that he was with off guard. Almost immediately afterwards though Kara notice a large hand on her shoulder that from what she could feel belonged to Johnny. “Our bad honey Roger, but we are really kinda busy. How about next time. “ Wordlessly Kara put her hand on Johnny’s. From any onlooker it would appear as an accceptance of the man’s comfort, but within the next moment Kara’s grip tightened and then almost instantly Kara sent a strong current of electro through the man’s body causing him to illuminate and scream loudly as the sudden surge of energy seemed to rip through his body. When the surge stopped the men that were standing around were speechless as Johnny quickly fell to the ground. “So trapping you guys wont work i take it. Fine ill be direct then. If you don’t want to die then you boys should surrender now before and hand over the kid.” Kara spoke the threat with a smile, but as the men around her face they could tell that she was angry. That skank comment definitely struck a cord. Seeing Johnny fall though Roger quickly turned and ran with all his might as fast as he could. ”And of course he would run.” Just as soon as Roger ran off the two large men that were standing watching the whole ordeal quickly moved to try and grab Kara, but as they neared close Kara quickly jumped up allowing the two men to bump into each other and then landed on both of their shoulders. Putting her hands on the men’s bald heads Kara once again released a large shock into the men knocking them out. Before the men could drop to the floor Kara jumped off of them and started to pursue Roger. Thankfully the man was still in sight. Edited by Yomi, Jul 5 2018, 03:47 PM.

Being a mink, and a feline mink at that it was only natural that Kara was rather light on her feet, but as Kara could see even while carrying the kid Roger didn’t seem to be all too bad himself. The man cut through crowds as if this kind of chase was second nature to him and as a result it made keeping up with thee man rather difficult. Soon Kara saw the man turn into an alley. It took all but a few seconds for Kara to enter the same ally, but as soon as she turned the corner only to find no one insight. The alley was long and at the other side there was a fence, there wa no way that the man had cleared the place this quickly. It was then that Kara noticed some small clanks coming from above her. The mink looked up and sure enough there was Roger climbing the fire escape. Since the stairs was made of metal Kara immediately thought of sending electro through the stairs and stopping the man cold, but it was then that Kara remembered the kid that the man was holding. Not only was it possible that the charge would hit the kid as well, but if the man happened to fall the kid getting injured wasn’t at all unlikely. Coming to a decision quickly Kara once again resumed the chase as she scaled the fire escape as quickly as she could and soon enough Roger made it to the roof. And not long after Kara emerged as well. Roger now standing at the edge of the building realized that there was no where to run from here. He had assumed that there might have been a door to get up here where he could escape into the building, but alas there was none. The buildings were also too far to try and make a jump for it. The man was trapped. ”You know, you are prettty quick on your feet for a human. It’s been a while since i had a work out like that, but you should give up now. From what i can tell you lot drugged that kid. There is no way anyone would still be asleep after all that. So who is he, and who is that woman that you were with earlier? I mean you don’t have to tell me. We made sure that we grabbed her as soon as you two parted ways so I’ll know soon enough.” Kara said while approaching the man. “Kukuku, so you messed everything up anyway. For fucks sake.” The man’s worried expression soon turned to a smile which worried Kara. Thinking that the man might have lost it Kara then slowed her approach a little and only stopped when she saw the man back up a little. In the next moment there was a sudden boom as the fireworks began going off. Beautiful colors danced within the sky following loud explosions, but at that moment Kara and Roger only had eyes on each other. As the explosions lit up the sky Kara could see Roger’s expression in a new light. The man was smiling. The man began talking, but because of the explosions Kara couldn’t exactly hear was the man was saying. The man then grabbed the child that he was holding, and chucked the kid over the side of the roof. Seeing this all thought shut off in Kara’s head as she dashed to get to the child, and even dove over the edge in order to grab her. As she ran looking at the girl it was as if a tragic memory had resurfaced. The image of a child falling through the sky into the harsh ocean below filled her mind. Kara reached out her hand in order to try and grab the kid, and only, just only by the by the tips of her claws did the mink managed to get a grip onto the girl’s clothes and pull her into her embrace. That however wasn’t the end. Though Kara had managed to catch the girl the roof however was now far out of reach,, and as gravity kicked in the two began to fall. From the roof to the ground was at least five stories, there was no way that they would both survive such a fall so Kara grabbed the girl and pulled her in close. With her body hitting the ground first hopefully she could at least use her body to cushion some of the impact. With the roar of the wind passing her ears the mink closed her eyes bracing for impact. Suddenly though with only a few feet before Kara was about to hit the ground she was overcome with an ear splitting noise like a horn followed by a shockwave that hit the mink hard from the side not only halting her descent, but knocking both Kara and the girl that she was holding back down the alleyway before finally hitting the fence. Soon after the two were caught by the fence the shockwave ceased causing both Kara and the boy to fall onto the ground. “Ow.” A voice beneath Kara moaned. Upon hearing the ground Kara was suddenly hit with the shock of still being alive, and upon hearing what seemed to be the girl’s voice beneath her Kara quickly let go to see that the girl seemed to only have a few scrapes from the ordeal. ”So, you are safe. I’m so glad.” Kara said with a sort of goofy smile on her face. Her fur was dirty, and her hair was a mess, but mink seemed to be genuinely happy that the child was ok. The child that seemed somewhat confused at exactly was quite confused at what was going on was soon made even more perplexed as a small horned woman soon came behind Kara and using her fist struck the mink in the head with her fist as hard as she could. ”OW!! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!!” Kara said as she turned around witnessing a truly furious Eto. ”That’s what i should be saying? Do you have a death wish or something. Some fetish for jumping off of roofs. Are you trying to kill your self?” The small oni would continue to berate Kara until reinforcements came and confirmed their condition. In total though Kara had only taken out four people there were a total of seven that were actually involved in this incident. All of which were captured and put under arrest. Apparently the woman and child that Roger was with before was his own family. The woman that was in custody was a maid that served a Duke somewhere in East Blue and the girl was the Duke’s daughter. She had apparently put out a ransom for the kid, and after she received the money, instead of returning the kid, the maid was looking to sell the child on the human trafficking market to make some extra money. Roger was just a man in debt to a few mobsters who took the job in hopes of clearing some of his debt. Even with everything that went down Eto somehow couldn’t help but feel somewhat uneasy about her partner. Between the fireworks the short oni would sneek glances at Kara who seemed quite happy with what she had done today. Seeing this Eto could only conclude that just like her name signified, no matter how much Kara denied it, Kara was a loving person, and overall the mink liked people No other kind of person would go that far for a kid that they didn’t even know. Learning such a gem about her partner was indeed satisfying for, but it also made her worried. People like her probably wouldn’t last long in this line of work. Though Eto thought all this, she remained quiet as the two made their way back to their room as the fireworks blared from above. ~End Edited by Yomi, Jul 5 2018, 05:27 PM.
