"I'm sorry, but Id on't know anyone here by that name," she replies. "Not a client or a worker. I'm rather new, though," she admits. "Um...let me call my supervisor, ok?"

"Sure, thanks," Haruka smiles her gratitude at the woman's efforts.
Liddo-kun: Bjorn is the rain gutter in which all the dirty thoughts of humanity flow into?
Bjorn: I prefer, instead, to think of myself as the crap that blocks the rain gutters, causing the dirty thoughts of humanity to back up, fill the streets, and flood your basements.

She proceeds to make a call, which goes as, "Uh huh, yes...Megumi Kuishu...yes...oh, I see...thank you, sir." Hanging up the phone, "Megumi Kuishu left the company a few years ago, I'm afraid," she offers. "Took another job."

Haruka drops her head and sighs at that news.  "I knew it wasn't going to be this easy..." she grumbles, running a hand tiredly through her hair.

"You wouldn't happen to know where this new job might be at, would you?" she asked the receptionist.  Grasping at straws now, but....

"I'm afraid not," is her answer. "She did leave a forwarding address in case business mail reaches her here..." she comments, going to her computer and typing away. "Ah, it's 349 Moonbrook Apartment," she notes.

Haruka jots that down on a handy scrap paper.  "Thanks, you've been a bit help," she tells the woman.  With address now in hand, she had her next destination set.

Heading down again in the elevator, Viluy blows out a breath that is likely joined by one of her love's. "I hope this isn't a dead end," she notes quietly. "If we're playing against time..."

"Maybe you can find something via the inter-web?" Haruka asks Viluy hopefully.  She leans back against the wall of the elevator, the solid structure giving her slight comfort, sporting a casual look.

Inside, however, was another matter.  It was like having a tantalizing prize danging high overhead just out of reach.  Where your fingers could just brush against the surface, but nowhere near enough to give you a firm grasp.

Her mind supplied her with a good summation: This blew.

But Haruka Ten'oh was far, far too stubborn to let this matter drop so easily though.

Oh no.

After what it took to get her father to cough up the clues that he did, she'd be damned if she was going to fail in this.  She'd flip the world upside down and shake something loose if she needed to.

Oh yes.

Once in the car, "Um...I don't think it's a long drive to Moonbrook Apartments," she offers, after fishing out a map from your glove compartment. "We could be there in a half hour if we don't get sidetracked. Did you want to go today?"

A quirky smile works its way onto Haruka's face as she turns to regard Viluy.  "Of course," she tells her matter of factly as she starts the engine, revs the engine, and punches the car in gear.

And awaaaaaaaaay they went!

Downtown Tokyo is generally considered stylish and modern - the Moonbrook apartments are no exception. While not top tier and reasonably modest if anything, they are still impressive. The apartments are crammed into one 7 story building.

A quick question to a resident waiting for the elevator tells you that 349 is on the third floor.

Haruka stares at some imaginary point on the ceiling before entering the elevator with Viluy.  Just two floors seperates her from an eventual meeting with--

With who? her mind asks.

With mother? she supplies in answer.

The woman who left you behind?

A cross look and THAT line of thought was quickly buried with a knife in its back.

What are you going to say?

She had no answer.

What are you going to do?

Still no answer.

What if she doesn't even want to meet you?  What if you don't measure up?  What if she doesn't measure up?  What if, what if, what if....

Well damn.  Now she was officially - out of her freaking mind - nervous.  It seemed it was her own doubts and worries that decided to flip her upside down and shake something loose.

Haruka encircles Viluy with her arms from behind and draws comfort from the other girl's presence.  She hoped it was enough to put to rest the incessant doubts plaguing her mind.

After a secondary pause, "It'll be fine, Haruka," Viluy reassures you, as the elevator continues to rise up. "It's still better than not knowing..."

As she speaks this, the ping of the elevator door rouses you, as the third floor presents itself.

"I hope so," Haruka returns with a tinge of gratitude for Viluy's encouragement in her voice.  She steps out of the elevator and into the arms of uncertainty.

It's a short walk to room 349. The door is undecorated, a simple metal knocker attached only. As it if's waiting for your touch, to open the door to your destiny...

Viluy beats you do it, however, using it to rap twice on the door.
