[Ken] - secret agent man!

Jul 03, 2008 14:22

I answer the phone angrily, as Master Elehung keeps chasing pretty girls but doesn't let me stop working to do the same. There's a woman in the shop now and he won't leave her alone. "Hello?"

"Hello, Ken?" says a familiar, calm voice. "It's Miki. I need your help."

"Miki-chan!" I say happily. I stick out my foot and try to trip Master Elehung as he bustles past after the customer. He skips over my foot and tries to put a hand on her shoulder, but she dodges him deftly and manages to hit him in the stomach with her handbag.

Miki-chan begins to explain what's happened. The man who was TimeRed, Asami Tatsuya, has gone missing and it's affecting the timeline. If enough changes are made to time, it could affect the future, our present, and the past. Not in a good way.

The other Timerangers have come back from the future to find him. The call has gone out to others to help, and Miki-chan wants me to use deliveries from SCRTC Meisters as a cover for going to the area where he was last seen, to see if I can find any clues or Tatsuya himself. If nothing else I'm to meet up with the other Timerangers and offer assistance.

"I'll do it," I say instantly, then poke my tongue out at Master Elehung, who's now on the floor with the woman's pointy shoe placed firmly on his stomach as she asks him a question about our pricing policy. "Tell Retsu and Ran I said hi, okay?"

I can hear the smile in her voice. "Of course. I'll send you the information now."

Only a few hours later, I'm in the warehouse district, with a big box full of oil cans -- they were the right size and clatter most pleasingly -- and a pretend invoice. I've been asking everyone I see for Asami Tatsuya as that's whose name is on the invoice, but so far I've had no luck.

The next person to ask is a petite, pretty woman with short hair, wearing a stripy shirt with a yellow jacket over it. "Hi!" I say, striding up to her with a big smile on my face. I'm being a perfect secret agent as I am a genius, after all. "I'm looking for Asami Tatsuya, do you know him? I have an order for him."
