Snippet #2823235

"I don't know where the driver is which would be a problem if we weren't trying to steal this baby," Shinigami said as she paused the video on her phone. "I mean it's still a problem but one for la-"

Shinigami locked onto a man that seemed to be staring in her direction. His eyes didn't meet hers however. The invisible detective held her breath as he scanned the truck and the cabin, looking past her in his searching. Seemingly satisfied, he kept walking, lost in the crowd very quickly.

"For right now. Houndmaster's right. It's being watched so I'm out."

Ducking down, the detective recalled the Shinigami Gray lantern and slipped on the cap left on the passenger's seat. There was nothing she could do about the suit but a detective was easier to explain than a superhero. Following the Houndmaster's instructions, Akiko was up and running, steering her way out carefully.

Double checking the way out, she reached for her phone. Her eyes were locked on the screen for a few moments but it was enough to bump into another truck. She hissed. The phone dropped to the floor. It was a light tap, a small dent, but it was enough to attract the attention of a couple of people walking by. She could hear them trying to get her attention so she rolled down her window, flashing her badge from the Skull agency.

"Official detective business. Send a bill to my agency," she declared firmly as she rolled the window back up. There were grumbles and no need to explain that any bill they sent would be promptly declined. One of them walked off in a hurry though, no doubt to report the incident to a superior.

"Miiiight need that accelerator, just saying," Akiko noted into the comms as she resumed driving her way out, phone laying at her feet.
