100th Secretary

-"Did operation-you-know-what go well?"-

Chapter 9: Behind the Scenes

Date: August 2, Thursday

Time: 6:30 am

When the light turned green and a click was heard. The janitor opened the door to the supply closet to bring out the trolley prepared for this day, earlier.

He then pushed out the trolley to start his cleaning session.

'Bzzt, go ten meters then turn left, first door to the right to reach the service elevator.' A bored voice said.

The janitor said nothing, went to the elevator swiped his keycard then proceeded to go up with his supplies.

'The only elevator that can reach the top floor is the main one, only specific cards have access to it. Other's who has some emergency business on the last three floors has to get a permit from the security lobby stationed in front of the main elevator.'

The janitor pulled on his cap as a greeting to the two security guards. One was currently drooling and watching something on his screen. The other one nodded in return then proceeded to smack his partner on the head. He then swiped his id card to gain access to the elevator. The responsible guard watched as the employee info pulled up the screen and gave the janitor a go ahead. The other guard was pulled out in reverie but didn't move when he heard the confirmation sound and the fact that the metal detector didn't beep he let the janitor pass without worries.

The janitor worked diligently cleaning and doing his job as instructed. After forty five minutes of work. Everything was set in the offices. So he proceeded to enter the main elevator and went down. The janitor then signed the log in front of the now sleepy security guard who is in the last leg of his shift.

"First day going to end soon?" the janitor asked conversationally.

"Yes, we're down to the last hour." Replied the guard courteously.

"Hehe, yeah," trying to keep a yawn from escaping. "We're just new here, never knew it could be so damn sleepy."

"I'm sure you'll both get used to it. Well I'm done for today so see you around."

"Lucky you, see ya!" The guard cheerfully replied while the other one just nodded.

With that his transition to the service elevator was smooth when he was safely inside the service elevator.

'Why did you make contact with the guards!' A boisterous voice asked.

'Nope, he actually did the right thing.'

'Eh!?'

"It will be much more suspicious if a long time worker on the company never greets the newly hired," the janitor said out loud even though it seems he's the only one in the huge service elevator.

'Anyway, capturing scene. Placed on loop'

The elevator then stopped for someone to come it but there wasn't anyone on the other side of the door. Then the door closed again.

'Why did we do that?'

'Because I need the footage of him being alone in the elevator with its door opening but without anyone with him, now stop breaking my concentration, so troublesome. There clear.'

The janitor then tapped on the other supply cart that was inside the elevator but was on the blind spot of the security camera, when a guy in a spandex popped underneath it.

"Did operation-you-know-what go well?" The new guy asked trying to whisper as if a huge conspiracy is happening but failing miserably. The janitor just nodded in reply.

The spandex guy pulled out some waiter's outfit while the janitor proceeded to pull out a white sheet from the other cart showing an identical cart to the one he was using earlier and placed it on top of the cart he pushed in. The guy in spandex changed outfit then assisted the janitor as he placed the newly revealed cart in the previous once place. It took them 2 floors down when a light magically popped up of the panel indicating that someone's going to enter in the floor below.

'Wait for it… Go.'

The waiter pushed out the cart just as the doors open then proceeded to turn it around immediately heading back to the elevator.

'Tsk, here we go'

He then stopped the camera in front of the elevator door then looped a pre-recorded scene of the waiter entering the elevator then at the same time proceeded to play the short one he recently captured on another screen, he stopped the loop just in time for the camera to see the waiter entering the service elevator. It gave the illusion that the waiter and janitor are meeting for the first time.

'There. Done.'

'Wait I still don't get it why he needed to speak with the guards.'

'Troublesome…'

The janitor pulled out his cap then placed it on his back pocket, "That's the reason why I'm the one doing this and not you, dickless." He then proceeded to lower down the volume by tapping the mechanism behind his ears to tune down the profanities coming from the outside.

He turned it up again after a few minutes just before he hit the ground floor. "Heading out." Sai went out of the elevator with the currently empty but real janitor's supply cart and head to the storage room to "restock" his supplies and maybe spend a few hours to finish the shift so as to not raise suspicions.

While Lee the waiter, then proceeded to the basement parking lot to drag out the supply cart full of evidence that now looked easily looked like the delivery cart he used earlier covered with clean white sheet to deliver catered food he had transported to the kitchens. The caterer's truck was waiting for him; a brunette girl with buns opened the back of the truck for him. He went in the back with the cart then the girl went back to the front giving her long haired friend the ok signal to drive away.

"Hahaha! My stomach's gonna burst!" Kiba laughed teary eyed. Everyone was giggling, chuckling and outright laughing watching the security video Shikamaru pulled up. Even Sasuke had to hide his mirth because those people liked to tease him throughout high school so it was funny even to him.

Sakura was catching her breath then stopped laughing and went to Shino, "I'm sorry that must have been rude since so many of them died."

"… It's alright, I already knew and resigned myself that there was going to be some loss with my insects when we created that plan. I chose the one who were nearing the end of their lifecycle anyways so I am kind of glad that they were lively till the end." Shino said stoically as he pushed up his sunglasses.

"Uhm, Sa-Sakura-chan. Erm, isn't this too much?" Hinata asked flinching when she watched the spider land on Deidara's face.

"Well—" Sakura began but Kiba heard it too.

"Hinata! You've seen the files of what they did to the previous secretaries right? They need a taste of their own medicine." Kiba exclaimed, Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Okay…"

"Besides, it's fun to see an Uchiha squirm," Kiba grinned showing his fangs.

'Ïdiot, we do not squirm." Sasuke defended his brother. "Besides that plan wouldn't affect Itachi at all."

"Hey! Are you really helping us or not!?" Kiba roared. "What do you mean it won't affect him at all! We're sacrificing Shino's bugs here you know!"

""Kiba," Shino held back his friend from jumping on the Uchiha.

"Troublesome, weren't you listening? Sakura and Itachi will be on a safe area because the main targets are the lackeys." Shikamaru interjected.

"Why are we starting with them anyway?" Chouji asked voice a bit muffled because he munched on chips.

"Because it really started with them, Deidara got irritated by the very first secretary, asked Kisame and Tobi to help. Itachi just let them. Then everyone started joining bit by bit. At that time I wasn't head of human resources yet it was Inabi who was handling things back then."

"Wait how come we've never heard of this?" Tenten asked.

"Didn't I tell you already? Well the first twenty of Itachi's secretary actually worked for Inabi to spy on Itachi. Not everyone really liked the idea of a newbie of eighteen years old bossing them around. Itachi knew of course so he was able to feed them false information to his advantage. Inabi noticed that Itachi knew so he just kept hiring a bunch of bimbos and idiots for the next forty to mess with Itachi's performance. It didn't work and Inabi tried to have Itachi kicked out due to complaints. Itachi then turned Inabi's plan against him since as the head of human resources he should have been hiring capable secretaries. Itachi has proof of document and then for some reason all of Inabi's witness didn't show up." Shisui explained with a matter of fact tone.

"Then, they had a reason for doing those things?" Sakura asked. Everyone mulled on the statement. "What about the remaining 39 secretaries?"

"Ahh, hehe. That was around the time when it got out that the clan was pushing Itachi to marry already. All that I hired and evaluated unfortunately cannot resist trying to get his attention." Shisui chuckled.

"Shisui-san, why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Sakura frowned, upset and doubting herself for planning this and involving all of friends. Shisui noticed this.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan I really thought I already explained that to you, it's all guesses of Itachi's and the gangs' motives which is why it's not on the documents I sent you.

"Don't tell me your feeling guilty, forehead!" Ino suddenly shouted. "We all know you're a good hardworking person, whatever the previous secretaries in the past did it shouldn't reflect you! They didn't even have the intention to evaluate your performance on the very first day." She went face to face with Sakura and poked her chest with a finger, "They immediately labeled you as a target from the start and that is so wrong! They're not doing it for the right reasons anymore; they started treating it as entertainment already!"

At Ino's explanation, all of them started murmuring to themselves whether to continue the plan or not.

"Why don't you just ask Uchiha Itachi-san to stop?" Sai asked his voice cutting through the chattering around them.

"Even if you say the Sai-san I already did." Shisui told him.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Sakura."

That brought out Sakura from her reverie and faced Sai. "Sai?"

"You were the one who taught me that if there's something that I want, I have to speak up because sometimes actions are not enough, communication is needed." Sai then stood in front of Sakura, "That's why I was grateful when Naruto bought this book," Sai showed her a book entitled 'Connection with other People'

"…" Their friends just stared at Sai then back at Naruto who whispered to Sasuke, "I feel bad, I actually just grabbed the first thing I saw at the bookstore." Sasuke scoffed in reply.

"Oh Sai," Sakura smiled then grabbed Sai into a hug. "Thank you. Sometimes I really don't know what to do without you." Sai also leaned close and wrapped his arms aroung his friend.

"Eh~ Why is Sakura-chan hugging him?" Naruto whined.

"Because he said something good for once, unlike you dobe." Sasuke replied blandly.

Sai strated to pull back, "You should let go now dickless and emo will become jealous."Sakur giggled and pulled away.

Everyone was smiling at the scene.

"And you're welcome, hag." Sai said with a smile.

Everyone then facepalmed.

Created: 6/13/2013, yes I'm that crazy editing 8 chapters then pumping out a whole new one.

Hope that the infiltration scene didn't cause too much confusion tried to write the sequence of events as best as I could. And nope, I've never trespassed a building before so there's going to be loops on the method I've wrote down.

I really don't have an excuse for being away for so long. While sorting out my documents on file, I retrieved this series I wrote years ago. I discovered I still loved it since it has many possibilities so I'm going to make sure that I at least finish this story. Since it's too sad that I never finish anything. I won't make promises when to update though because I don't want to make empty promises anymore.

Read and Review please!
