I'm still alive updating this fanfic! sorry for the slow process been busy lately but i hope you still enjoy the chapter!
The next morning Zazie woke up blearily as he sat up, he turned to his side and half-expected Lag to be there but frowned when he woke up to an empty bed and sighed.
"Of course, why in the world would he want to spend the night with me when we don't 'known' each other?" Zazie said bitterly as he removed the blankets off of him and grumbled as he headed to the bathroom as he passed by the table he noticed there was a note left there.
He picked it up and read it frowning a bit.
::Cat boy, I don't know what came over my last night but it felt weird and okay at the same time if that makes sense, I don't know why but I'll probably see you soon in your place, you just better not try anything.::
"I really miss when Lag was cute an innocent." Zazie sighed but he was happy that Lag was at least responding to him, even if its just a little bit. The cat boy walked into the shower and got cleaned up and was more awake once he stepped out of it, clad only in a towel as he looked for his uniform.
It didn't take him long to get dressed, but he was still yawning when he got down stairs, rubbing his eyes. He was surprised when he saw Conner already waiting for him with his dingo as he had a bag in his hand full of food as their prisoner was still unconscious.
"You're up early." Zazie commented.
"Well we had to get up early for the carriage to get back to Yuusari." Conner replied standing up, "you ready?"
"Yeah the carriage leaves in like what 10 minutes?" Zazie asked as they dragged the prisoner with them to the carriage station.
"More or less, best to get there early." Conner said, "So….any particular reason Walsiolka came in and stayed with me last night?"
"I have no clue, maybe your carpets are more comfortable then the ones in my room." Zazie replied off-handedly.
"Right…did you really not find anything in the town?" Conner asked still suspicious.
"Conner, look I'm just trying to make sense of a few things, I promise when I know something definite you're be one of the first people I inform okay?" Zazie compromised with his friend.
"Well…alright I trust you Zazie." Conner replied sighing.
"Thanks." The cat boy replied smiling at Conner.
Soon their carriage arrived and they got in after they paid the fair, as they made sure to sit in the back and keep the prisoner with them so that he couldn't escape if he woke up.
"Its going to be a long trip back, why don't we each take shifts taking a nap?" Conner said looking at the cat boy who nodded as he glanced out the window watching the barren landscape pass by him.
"Sure, I wonder how everyone else doing back in Yuusari." The cat boy sighed.
"I'm sure they're doing fine, I just hope we don't have another job lined up after this. I'd like at least a day off." Conner groaned.
"We can only hope with our so called 'leader' of the Bee Hive," Zazie grimaced dryly, "wouldn't surprise me in the least if he had another job for us, sadistic freak."
"Please don't jinx it." Conner whined.
"Yeah yeah…" Zazie murmured before he rested his head on his hand, closing his eyes during the long journey back to the beehive.
oOo
"Letter Bees Zazie and Conner reporting….sir." Zazie said trying not to scowl at the smug man behind the desk.
"Have you anything to report?" Garrad asked behind his dark shades as he looked through other reports.
"We had gotten an apprehended member of REVERSE and he's being interrogated at this moment with the others." Zazie replied stoically.
"Hmmm interesting," Garrad said as he looked up at the teens in front of him, "and did you happen to run into who had left the REVERSE member?"
"Unfortunately sir the person had just dropped the guy off in the nearest inn to be held until a letter bee had com to the town, which happened to be Conner and I." Zazie replied.
"I see. that is all dismissed." Garrad said waving them away from the office.
The two of them nodded and left as fast as possible heading downstairs much to their relief.
"I don't know about you but I need a good meal now." Conner groaned as he rubbed his belly, "I'll see you later Zazie."
"Yeah I'm glad we don't have any more deliveries, tell Sylvette I'll be in time for dinner." Zazie replied as Conner nodded.
"Alright," the larger bee said as he headed out of the beehive with his dingo as Zazie headed towards a familiar laboratory to see the good doctor.
He stood in front of the steeled doors and knocked on it a bit, the sound echoing in the empty hallway. There was a turn of the crank on the other side and the door opened as a familiar face looked out to see Zazie standing out front.
"I need to talk to you." The cat boy said seriously making his single eye widen before the doctor nodded, pulling the door wider letting the Bee in as he lead Zazie to his private office where there would only be the two of them to talk.
Dr. Thunderland Jr, locked the door behind him before he leaned against the door with his arms folded.
"What is it you wish to speak to me about Letter Bee Zazie?" Dr. Thunderland Jr. asked.
"Exactly what are the chances of someone surviving a fall but losing their memory?" Zazie asked.
"It would depend on the circumstances but there would have to be more then just memory lost, broken limbs for one." Dr. Thunderland replied, "but its not completely unheard of why?"
"Because in the last town I was in to deliver I ran into Lag and Niche." Zazie replied seriously and actually made the one-eyed doctor stumble a bit in shock, "I'm not lying to you Dr. Thunderland, you know the person we've been trying to figure out who's been bringing us REVERSE agents? It was him."
"How…how is that plausible, you told me he fell from the high cliffs near Cerulean." Dr. Thunderland stated.
"Its thanks to Niche that he's alive at least." Zazie replied before he proceeded to inform Dr. Thunderland Jr about the events that had happened in the town, well, except for the part of sharing the bed with Lag but he told him everything else.
"Why exactly are you telling me this? Wouldn't it be better to tell Aria-san or even Sylvette?" Dr. Thunderland asked.
"I'll tell them later but the reason I'm telling you is because I know Lag is going to visit me sometime soon and when he does I want you to do a check up on him." Zazie replied, "the other reason is I don't want to overwhelm Lag with more people finding out about him."
"Not to mention what our current headmaster will do if he finds out about him." Dr. Thunderland replied narrowing his eyes a bit, "he'd want a full interrogation and investigation."
"Has he done anything suspicious?" Zazie asked.
"You mean besides demoting Aria-san down to the frozen letter section?" Dr. Thunderland asked, "he has been looking rather intensively into Seeing's profile."
"What? Why? And how?" Zazie exclaimed his mouth dropping, "can he actually do that!"
"He has access to main files but patient confidentiality is something I keep, so he has no jurisdiction on Seein's medical records." Dr. Thunderland replied.
"That's good though I don't see why he needs to see those files anyway." The cat boy grumbled.
"Neither do I but we all are keeping an eye on him, nobody likes him here and prefers Largo so we're just waiting for something to happen." The grey haired doctor said.
"Alright, we'll I'm going to head home for some sleep. I'll see you at Sylvette's for dinner?" Zazie asked.
"Yes I'll be sure to be there." The doctor replied as Zazie waved and left his office and lab.
Every since Lag had 'disappeared', Aria, Conner, Zazie and Dr. Thunderland have taken it upon themselves to keep the sad wheel-chaired girl company even if its only for dinner since everyone was usually busy with work. The young girl would smile when she saw them getting together just for her sake. Aria had even helped Sylvette expand her home so it was bigger and she moved in with the girl to keep her company even better since it was just her and Bolt in her old home.
"Well Wasiolka, lets head home I'm sure we have a few good more hours to sleep." Zazie said looking at the panther next to him.
The cat just growled as he nudged Zazie's hand before grabbing his back and pulling him towards the market.
"Really? We don't know when we'll be sent off…the food will go bad." Zazie argued.
The panther just gave him a look before he pulled even harder making the cat boy grumble and give into his dingo.
"Fine, I'll get enough for today and tomorrow, but that's it. I'm not putting it past Garrad to send me off on a delivery too soon." Zazie said as they walked into the market.
He headed for a few stalls and picked up plenty of fruits, some meat for lunch tomorrow, bread, and other things he may need later on when he was out on deliveries.
"Come on now, we have food for our house and then we can sleep and eat dinner." Zazie said as he carried the bags to his home.
oOo
"Why haven't we gotten as many letters as we previously had?" a dark voice asked as he walked forward with his cane.
"There seems to be some sort of interference going on, we have been losing our men due to that." Noir replied from his position.
"Then go out and fine this interference and bring him to me." The man growled slamming his cane harshly on the ground, "now give me those reports from Yuusari, we need to be kept up to date on our…inside information…"
"Yes sir."
