Partners In Crime (StarxHero)

[Starcry]

Ever since she was young, Tsubaki Mukami, had always been in her brother's shadow. No matter how much she achieved it was never good enough in her parents eyes as she wasn't going to be an heir. As far as they were concerned she was nothing but someone to clean up her brother's messes and MAYBE one day be a bargaining chip to cerement relations with other companies. However, all engagements thus far had, thankfully, fallen through because no one had liked her personality or were intimidated by her achievements. 

So tonight was yet another night where Tsubaki had to stay late because her brother had messed up. Only this time is was beyond the usual "simple" mistakes. He was meant to be doing a business proposal to renew a contract to one of their biggest clients and he had really out done himself. Since he had been too busy doing god knows what, the paperwork hadn't been done and the deadline was tomorrow. Unfortunately, Tsubaki's father had, once again, told (not asked) her to finish off her brother's work because it would make the company look bad if she didn't. 

So there she was. Doing an all nighter to cover her brother's ass. The brown-haired beauty was no strangers to late nights but the last month had consisted of them and thus exhausted her. She could slowly feel herself going to sleep and it would seem that no amount of shitty office coffee was going to help things. So she decided to go for a walk to try and wake herself up a bit. She also decided that it wouldn't hurt to see if there were any other employees pulling a late one since she wasn't the only one who worked over time. However, as she came closer to her brother's office she heard typing. Had he actually decided to show up for once? Did this mean she could go home and sleep? She lightly rapped on the door before entering.

"Hey, shit for brains!" Tsubaki crudely said as she slowly opened the door. "Finally decided to sho-" She was mid-sentence and had already closed the door when she saw that it wasn't her brother tapping away at his computer. It was a new employee that had started at the beginning of the week. "Who authorised you to be in here?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes at the guy she barely knew. Had her brother put someone up to this?

Matsuno Toshiaki was a mercenary that was a celebrity in the hidden world of crime, he was famous for making impossible missions looks like child's play. Men and women would hire him to do any kind of illicit job, like assassination, robbery, evidence planting, bribery, agiotage and much more. He likes to wear elegant clothes, besides the fact that he is used to do a lot of things wearing them, they are good to make people think he is someone important or sometimes, even their boss.

He was hired by ⨊⨇⨈⨍⨄⨇⨌⨇⨊⨍⨌⨏⨏⨇⨇⨊⨍⨃⨉⨌⨒. It's cryptographed, nobody knows who hired him, only him. He would receive a great amount of money by stealing the data of the Mukami Company, according to the intel Matsuno received, they have valuable blueprints from secret projects they are making to the army, projects like homing nuclear bombs and plasma weapons able to penetrate tons of tank armors in seconds. 

He entered the company's building with easy access due to his abilities in getting hired as as new employee, then he started to pickpocket people from higher ranks, taking the access card of people from many access levels, until he blackmail an high ranking executive, gaining God Access to all the building, including the Director's Room. He entered the room and started to fetch the data from the Director's laptop, it was easy as hell to him, until he saw some folders would have a high encryptment level security password, that nobody in the world could hack. It was a shame, but he would take the laptop to his hirer and that would be a problem to him, but them, the girl entered the room and yelled at him.

"My mistakes, ma'am, I'm the guy from the IT, I am here to fix a possible security breach that the director's laptop would find in a near future. It's my duty to keep all his data safe."

Tsubaki eyed the employee up and down. Despite what he said there was NO one who was supposed to have access here apart from her brother, herself, and her father. The IT tech was a specialist hired that she knew personally that serviced the high level equipment due to the privacy involved. His skill was unmatched and he had encrypted everything to government level. If anyone dared to try they would have to match him. Something she hadn't known before.   

"An unlikely story." She replied before gripping her necklace. 

While it looked like a gem on her necklace it was actually a panic button that her father made her wear at all times 'in case anything happened.' She never thought she would actually needed it but there they were. Tsubaki then slowly began to walk towards the "new employee." and continued to eye him up to see how much of a threat he could be to her. He had a nice build and was pretty good looking, but she didn't see any obvious signs of any weapons on his person. 

"Only certain people are allowed access and I know them all personally." Tsubaki informed him as she stopped at the desk. "Now tell me. Who are you and why are you here?" She demanded as she placed a hand on her hip. 

In all honesty she was slightly anxious while she was trying to stall for time. She hoped security would turn up as fast as her father had claimed. If not then she wasn't sure what she'd do since she had never confronted a thief before. 

[GoddamnHero Deactivated]

Matsuno analyzed the environment and the lady as much as possible for that moment, he had a training with the special forces that teached him to neutralize any treat to him or to his goal. He knew that the father and leader of Mikami was not a dumb man and that he wouldn't never let his own daughter, a person that might know secret codes, in danger. He took a step back as she approached him, giving him a safe distance from the possible target, he knew that a man like her father wouldn't let her by herself someway, she could have some training in martial arts.

Her posture was not like she would be able to attack him, in any case, she would at least take her heels off, it's too hard to fight wearing heels like that, that could fly out of her feet during the fight or give advantage to the opponent, giving him the opportunity to take out her balance easily, making her fall on the ground and get in danger instantly so, the first hypothesis was off, she's not a fighter.

The security alarm is disabled by now, so she could have someone to back her up if she saw me there before entering here, so, the hypothesis that implies there is someone that is about to knock me down from behind while she distracts himis out since she looks really surprised and thought he was her useless brother, famous for spend his life and money into gambles, luxury and parties, the only person that could be at this office by now since her father is in Japan.

So, she haves a pocket panic button, but it doesn't looks like she haves something in her pockets, her office clothes are tight and women clothes are not famous for pockets that could hide things, she doesn't have bulges of anything with her, not even a phone, but... she gripped her necklace as she saw I was not her brother. The necklace is the key, probably it haves some hidden button that will call the security, and this button is not connected to this building main frame, it's out. That necklace appears on every picture she haves in public events. 

"So... you know your father is working with them, I pointed to the screen of the laptop trying to distract her"

As she moved her head to the screen in order to give a quick look on it, he quickly extended his arm and pulled her necklace out of her neck.

"That won't bother us anymore"

Tsubaki raised an eyebrow as the "employee" implied that her brother or father had been involved in dodgy dealings. AGAIN. She let out a small sigh as she went over to look. At this point she assumed that he was actually a secret government employee who had come to gather evidence. But she was taken aback as he ripped her necklace off as she leant forward to see what it was that had incriminated her family this time. But she smirked as it seemed he thought he had 

"Too late. I already press it, which means security are on there way." She said, with a snarky tone before she slowly backed away.  "I don't know who you are but you are well and truly screwed right now." She added, with a smirk. 

Tsubaki had already pressed the panic button and security were probably half way there by now. This guy really had fucked up big time.

Matsuno was impressed by the guts of the girl, that probably putted him in danger, at this time, a pen drive that was getting a backup of all the data, encrypted or not inside of the laptop. He had to think wisely and quickly, the rescue team would probably getting in the room in a few seconds, he had the data, but had to bypass the encryption by getting the passowrd, that girl is probably the only person that knows the possible password by now, he would needed it. He could not run and could not make her change her mind about him and make her talk to the guards to let him go. 

It was just one chance to him to get away of this building without being caught and having the girl with him. In a little lapse of time, he threw the laptop through the window, having it destroyed and being the only one now to have the information that it gathered, when the girl looked at that, he gave her a karate chopp right on her neck, making her pass out on the spot, taking her with his arms and carrying her to out of the room. He changed his facial expression to look like he was terrified and scared while carrying the girl in his arms.  

The rescue team stopped on the way and asked him what was going on. He simply said "T-T-The thief, he attacked Ms. Mukami while stole the laptop of the CEO, then he jumped through the w-window like right on some kind of ropes and started to crawl them directly to the rooftop, please, g-go fast, I will take her to the medic". The soldiers believed in his lie and let him pass, granting him access to the special elevator used just by the president's family and themselves for emergencies. He got to the roof in seconds and putted her in his car, while the security system was disabled, after tying her up to the car's passenger seat, he got as fast as he could out of the building going directly to a secret location of his own far away of the city.

Tsubaki was horrified as the thief threw the laptop out of the window. There was lots of important information on that laptop and while it would likely have been backed up on the system's cloud it was still very valuable. Unfortunately she was too distracted and shocked by his action that she didn't have time to defend herself from his attack and the next thing she knew everything went black. 

Tsubaki had no idea that the "employee" was using her as means to escape nor his plans. Her body was just dead weight and there was no sign of her waking up any time soon. 

[GoddamnHero Deactivated]

Matsuno brought her to a secret basement he used in that city as a operations base, It looked like an old warehouse by the outside, but inside, it had a lot of technologic apparatus, he bonded her to a chair and took some of his torture tools to close of the chair, where the girl still sleeps, he took a chair and placed it on the front of the girl, then, he picked a book and readed it until she wakes up.

[Starcry]

Tsubaki didn't stir one bit as she was transported from her work place and to the underground layer. Nor did she rouse when she was tied to the chair. The mercenary had waited a good few hours before Tsubaki finally began to show signs of awakening. A moan of pain and incoherent mumbling could be heard as the disoriented woman came to. After a couple of minutes she realised she didn't recognise where she was. She went to hold her throbbing head only to discover that her hands had been bound and that she was tied to a chair. It was then that she noticed the man who had infiltrated her father's company. 

"Where am I?" Tsubaki demanded and she glared at her captor.  "Who the hell are you really?"
