Sylia Stingray scowled as she looked at her watch. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and forced herself to exhale slowly. "He's not that late. . ." she muttered to herself, glancing at her watch again. "Just a few minutes, half an hour at most. . ."
She lapsed into silence as a green light flash on the register's screen. A moment later a mini window opened showing Maki waving to the camera and holding up a large bag.
Sylia let her head drop with a relieved sigh.
"Miss?" a voice suddenly intruded onto Sylia's thoughts. Blinking she raised her head and looked across the counter at the customer.
"Ah. . . Sorry, let me ring you up." Sylia said as she grabbed her customer's purchase.
"Hi sis," Mackie called absently as Sylia entered the workshop, his eyes never leaving the worktable in front of him.
". . . You bought them alright?" Sylia asked uncertainly.
"Got em, looking them over right now." Mackie called back in response.
"Were there any, complications, or problems. . ." Sylia asked as she walked across the workshop.
"Nope, everything went smoothly." Mackie said as he typed in a final set of numbers into the keypad beside him. Sitting back, he spun his chair so he was facing his sister.
"Did someone try to follow you then?"
"I took steps against pursuit, but no one was following me." Mackie said in a slightly annoyed tone. "I'm not some helpless kid."
"I know, it's just that you were a little late getting back, and those black market types. . ." She trailed off uncertainly.
"This bunch was all business." Mackie responded. "The reason I'm late is because I hit a huge crowd at the grand opening two blocks down."
Sylia blinked. "They're finally opening? They didn't exactly publicize it." She frowned. "As a matter of fact, considering how closed mouthed they were about what sort of store they were. . ."
"Well, whatever their sales tactic, It seemed to be working cause the place was mobbed." Mackie shook his head.
"So, what are they selling?" Sylia asked in a puzzled tone.
