The Man I Became... Because of You (Completed)

Cantaloupe In A Quandary

Can woke the next morning feeling refreshed. Tin had long left for work and his first client wasn't until 10. If he were another person, he would have snuck in another 10 minute nap before getting up but Can always found it impossible to lay about once his eyes opened.

With a yawn, he made it into the bathroom, freshened up, got dressed, then headed to Koda in the kitchen for breakfast.

"Good morning." He said cheerily and got a grunt. A very unKodalike reaction.

"Koda?" Can looked at him with a squint.

"Can't talk now. I think someone slipped past my security."

"Holy shit! No one's as good as you in my opinion. Did you tell Tin?" Can walked over but as usual, he couldn't grasp a thing he saw and Koda was typing so fast anyway that he wondered if Koda could see his own coding.

"Yes. I had him on the phone with me up until a minute ago. I'm sorry but your on your own until I can sort this out Can."

"No problem. I'm sure I can find something to eat."Can wasn't fussy like Tin and even Tin wouldn't care in a situation like this. He ate and watched Koda mumble to himself then patted the guy before he headed to the door.

"Can. Make sure you have your trackers and stuff." Koda suddenly reminded. His mind was suddenly worried for the Chinese peach for some reason.

"I have the coat with the special button and my phone and the stuff turned on in my car and the one you gave me to slip in my underwear just in case." Can rolled his eyes and looked back. "But I'll make sure they're all on anyways."

"Good." Koda said because he knew very well that the only device that was real was the one on his phone. Or it least it was the one he put there. "Since when did you have a device for your underwear?"

"Since I made half of those devices up on the fly. I think there's one in my car for if it gets stolen but I'm not sure. My car's good but it's not that great."

Can walked out and called Tin. 

"Hey. You'll be late for work soon."

"It's ok. I'm never late so they can let me off for once. You know about the situation right?"

"Yeah. I'm not sure what happened but there seems to be some other devices in the house."

"Tin. We talked about Tul last night. We mentioned the evidence. We made love." In a rare show of intelligence, Can pointed out all the issues he could see arising form this. Usually he had Tin and Lemon to think for him so he very rarely fired the synapses to do any of his own.

"Yes. I'm worried about the office too so I turned on one of the special devices Koda gave me but I don't know if it's working or not so I can't say much on that front. He has to come in and do a proper scan."

Can immediately understood that Tin didn't want to say much. "Are you sure you want to go to work today? Maybe you should stay home. We don't know what happened and who is involved so_ Can? I'll call you right back." As Tin spoke, Can could hear Tul's obnoxious voice over the phone. He shuddered and put down. 

It wasn't a bad idea to stay home except he was actually meeting Phu as his first client. The kid wanted to discuss some things because he liked a girl and even thought he was only 11, he was thinking long term, like how to keep his body fit and develop good muscle structure. Can didn't mind having him as a client because he liked his nephew now and the kid was paying anyway. 

He called Phu and got the automatic message. He called the office. The kid wasn't there. He explained that there had been a break in at his home but that Phu was not just a client. He asked them to have the boy call him when he arrived. Can got in his car and took a little known route to work. Half way there Phu called.
