Tomi started to co-ordinate things the minute she had the details. "We've got a missing girl, Elizabeth Miller. Long blonde hair, slim, last seen over by Seikou Gakuen. She left the building in the afternoon yesterday and the last person she spoke to was Mister Marco. Would you like to tell us about her attitude at the time? Was she in any way impaired in her judgement?"
"She was angry at me because I told her to get back inside since it was raining."
"Okay, Team A, check hospital reports, see if anyone has been admitted with her description. Team B, go out and comb the streets around the school and the hotel. Team C, work on a press release and state that anybody housing her will be prosecuted. Team D, remain here and await news. Two of you wait in reception to see if she returns by herself."
The four teams went off to do their tasks with Tomi staying behind to write everything on a big whiteboard.
"Where on Earth did you learn to control people that easily? Impressive. I could do with knowing how to do that."
"I dated a control freak. Everything had to be perfect all the time, so I just turned it back around on him and managed to get him to listen."
"Sounds familiar..." said Dante, in Japanese, so he wouldn't get yelled at by Rachel. Tomi chuckled and Liam snickered. He'd stayed back because he was on Team D.
"In any case, Rachel, this method has never failed to recover a missing person. The only time it didn't solve the problem was with Ambrose Marco back in the 80's, when he fought his way out single handed."
"He told me that story when I first came here. Crazy old man... I can see where Dad got his personality," Ambrose had been his grandfather, the one responsible for the will.
((Yeah, I suppose. I came up with something really mean for Dante to say to Liz once he's a little crazier, something that will just make him sound like a complete jerk.))
