War of the Ruby [Kurapika x Reader]

18 - It Was Meant To Happen

"Hm... this is weird, but how can you be certain it's your mother?" Flo asks, his eyes darting around the documents before him.

My eyes rose from my feet. "I'm not sure, thats the thing. I'm just using my memory for introspection, nothing more." My gaze remaining on the brunette.

"Did you look her name up? Maybe she'll pop up there..." Flo avoided my eyes. He must've feared he said something wrong. 

My body perked up at the thought. "Wait, you're actually on to something.. I always look things up so I'm not sure why that didn't come to mind sooner."

I immediately walked closer to Flo to retrieve my device from him. I made my way to the seat on the other side of the table as Lauri scooted closer to me to peer at my phone. Kurapika stayed seated across the rounded table with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Flo also stayed seated, but looked somewhat tense about the situation.

"Flo? What's wrong?" I asked, worry leaving my tone. He relaxed his figure upon hearing my voice call out to him.

"I just feel uneasy about this whole thing."

"I know... it seems like so many things all at once, but once we clear some things up, the dots should start connecting."

I type 'Marsala L/N' into the search bar and a couple results pop up. The odd thing about the results is that her name continues under a multitude of organizations, including the cruise line. I kept scrolling, and I gasped when I saw her name under a particular organization.

Lauri's eyes darted to me. "What!? Did you find something?" Lauri panicked. I try and steady my breathing but I couldn't take my eyes off of the names.

"S-she's.. she's.. no this isn't right." I managed to stagger out what I could. This caused Flo to stand up from his seat and walk over behind my chair, now leaning over to read what's on my phone. Kurapika followed suit.

"Which one are you looking at Y/N?" Flo's eyes scan the virgin websites in front of him. I lifted my shaky finger and land it on the one that caught my attention. Flo squinted his eyes and moved slightly forward to get a better look.

"Can.. oh, Cane and Company? Whats that?" Flo asks innocently. I forget that he doesn't know of my background or where I initially come from. Kurapika came and stood diagonal from Flo so he could see the phone.

"Cane&Co, huh? I didn't think we would find an interrelation this fast." Kurapika pondered, his voice husk and calm.

Lauri looked up to my eyes. My lips were pressed flat as I kept looking over the name, barely able to press it to look further into it. "Wait, Asai..? This isn't where we came from, is it?" Lauri asked while searching my already occupied eyes for an answer.

"Unfortunately, yes it is Lauri. From what I see.. her name is linked to this organization under a particular category." I clicked on the link and tried and get more details.

I took my pointer finger to continue to scroll through the odd website. Before it let me keep scrolling however, there was a pop up that said 'This website is not secure, are you sure you would like to continue?' with options listing stay, or leave.

I looked up to Kurapika and Flo, then to Lauri sitting next to me for approval. They gave this knowing look and Kurapika gave me a slight nod before I proceeded. "I have a VPN anyways." I say under my breath.

There were three categories from what I could see.

-

1- Owners

2- Employers

3-Employees

-

These categories had subcategories following 'previous + current'. The most sensible thing to do is to go through all of them.
