The Fourth Sin--OPEN (Friday)

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was once again at the receptionist's desk, but had chosen to work on his wireless laptop instead of the Sin's computer. He didn't want anything he was doing to be traced back to Becky and Miho.

From time to time he got off the chair and sat on the floor in the lotus position, eyes closed, meditated for a while, then got back up and sat at the computer again.

From upstairs, a sudden yelp of pain could be heard.

A strange, shirtless man came running down the stairs, his hands cuffed behind his back.

'Running' may be the wrong word, since he had a pair of tiny roller skates strapped to his feet.

Also, his hair was on fire.

The man tripped at the bottom of the stairs, and skidded into the lobby.

Becky sauntered down from her room, looking carefree, with a bottle of Evian in her hand. She spilled it onto the man's head, and leaned down to whisper something in his ear.

She then removed the skates, but not the cuffs.

"You know what'll happen if you come back to Fandom," she said, smiling wickedly as the man got up and ran. "Bye bye now."

Jarod looked up from the computer and watched the scene with fascination. After the man left, he said, "Evening, Becky. Everything okay? Anything of which I need to be made aware?"

"We take care of our own, Jarod," Becky said briskly. "If anyone ever threatens you, or hurts you, let me or Miho know, okay? Because that," she nodded after OMG, "was nice compared to what I wanted to do."

"Understood." He nodded once. "But that works both ways. If you or Miho need anything that I can do, I want you to let me know. Fair?"

"Very fair," Becky grinned. It was so sweet, little Jarod trying to look out for Miho and her. "I'll be in my room for the rest of the night, if anyone comes looking for me."

"Gotcha, boss." He grinned at her.

A few minutes later, Miho comes downstairs, barefoot and scowling. Something is missing from her room.

"//Is something wrong, Miho?//"

Miho glances around, taking in, among other things, the scorch mark and wet area on the carpet. Then she turns around and goes back upstairs to find Becky.
