Oharu watched her boss and the Captain as they strode out of the main office. Her gaze drifted to the suspicious office worker who currently had her head down and was pecking away at the keyboard. For a typist she sure didn't seem at home with a keyboard. Other people in the office pool briefly glanced at the two women who were leaving before refocusing on their work. That was perfectly logical and expected. Someone coming in, who usually didn't, garnered that sort of brief response. People were, after all curious. And when they learned Sensei's name many were curious.
There was no way that Oharu wanted to see Tokio meet the same fate as her former boss. She was determined to do everything in her power to prevent that from happening. The dark-haired attorney was a very private person. She really never said anything about her personal life. She sure did get a lot of stuff delivered to the office today. It was almost as if there were others in her household. But her recon revealed the woman was single. Hm. Another mystery that was Takagi Tokio.
The fact that Captain Wantanabe was here to fetch her today spoke volumes to Oharu. The Captain was one of Major Saitoh's valued and trusted officers. Fujita-sensei said as much before he and his family were tragically killed in a car bombing. The Major was with Tokio-sensei at the Sunshine Cafe and in the parking garage, both times attempts were made on her life.
Saitoh lost his wife violently several years ago. As a result he almost killed himself with alcohol. She, personally, had not heard any rumors linking him with a woman. However, she did watch the press conference where someone asked him if he was having an affair with a DOJ employee.
Could Tokio-sensei be the one? But she had only been here in New Meiji for less than a couple of weeks. If her boss was in a relationship with Major Saitoh, the two of them must have had some sort of past history, or at least that is what Oharu assumed. Only time would tell the truth of the matter.
[Back in the office pool right after Tokio and Karen left]
She had to be more discreet. That attorney's secretary spotted her today. It was quite evident by the way the woman stared her down right before lunch when she intended to follow the dark-haired prosecutor out of the office. The idea was to wait for an opportunity and then strike. This was a large complex with often empty halls. In part her plan depended on the element of surprise.
There would be no executing her plan today due to an unexpected element being present. That newly promoted Captain Wantanabe appeared on the scene. A body guard perhaps? The Captain was a part of Major Saitoh's department. He'd been at the cafe, and in the parking garage with the assistant prosecutor. What a joke. Takagi was no assistant.
What the prosecutor accomplished managed to shake up the underworld. Of course, the Yokohama group wanted to take her out in retribution for that court case which put one of their top-notch leaders into prison for who knows how long. The New Meiji branch of the organization was none too happy when they got wind that she had taken up residence in their city. There was no doubt in their mind what Takagi Morinusuke's sister was doing here and they were determined to put a stop to her before she was able to do the same thing here as she had done in Yokohama.
There'd been a question about the Major and a DOJ employee raised at the press conference. Since Wantanabe was here did that mean Takagi was the one linked to Saitoh? At this point there was no way to tell. If she was, it might pose a problem. The man was formidable, but it did not prevent him from losing his woman in the past.
Taking out Takagi had nothing to do with whether she did, or did not have a relationship with the head of Criminal Ivestigations. If she did, it would be a bonus to again strike the man where it hurt the most. Rumor had it that he hit the bottle heavily after his wife's brutal death. Would history repeat itself after a successful hit if he were involved with Takagi Morinusuke's sister?
Takagi Tokio earned her fate all by herself for what she did in Yokohama. She would pay for interrupting a very lucrative money train. She would pay soon if the syndicate's office plant had anything to say about it. It was her brother whom Takagi threw into prison with very little hope of getting out soon, if at all.
