The Slums

Suerte
Suerte sat on the back of the horse, her arms folded over her generous chest. It was hard to describe the version of hatred that she was feeling. With her hips lined up against Nanako's on Punishment's back, she felt nothing but annoyance. The butt of the horse shot up and down, causing her and Nanako's boobs to bounce. As Suerte's breasts went up, Nanako's went down and vice versa. How was that not hot? Why wasn't Justice paying attention! She made out with Nanako, wasn't that what he wanted?
Well, she knew what he wanted, but love was war and you don't make peace until the other side does a little groveling. Not that they were in love, but she liked him damn it and she was there first!
"Well I'm glad your happy," she said, her bitterness over having to share Justice poking through. This was the worst. It was like watching a happy couple when you are more single than a widow on valentine's day.

Nanako
Ordinarily, a ride through the city like this probably would've been far more enjoyable, perhaps less so once they got to the slums proper, but still. Here she was, back to back with a hot blonde and bouncing on Punishment the whole way, what with Sakura needing to be seated further up on account of being so squishy. And yet, while the ride was certainly fun, she could practically feel the animosity coming off of Suerte and had her own fair share to throw right back. This blonde little bimbo who'd snuck in while she was out and about, and now she was trying to snatch Justice from under her nose! Granted, not that she really blamed Justice. She probably hadn't been too clear with how she felt in the aftermath of that fight, and she still wasn't sure about it herself at this point. Not to mention that the cowgirl definitely was hot, and that makeout session even more so.
Still, she couldn't help wondering what Suerte was planning. She doubted things would be over with that quick tussle.
Her brief consideration was swiftly interrupted, however, as Sakura got a call from the redhead they'd gotten together to find in the first place. Nanako perked up, more than a little confused as it sounded like Shirou had just been up and let out.
"Wait, so the other you just let him go?" Nanako piped up, confused, but still happy for her friend, "Well, there's some good news."
In spite of herself, Nanako couldn't help feeling vaguely cheated in some way, but she quickly shrugged it off.

The Scene of the Crime
6:00 PM
If this city were a rotten carcass, the slums would be the guts and entrails leaking out. The stench and the view was putrid, and most of all, corrupted. One only needed to turn it upside down to see the insects wriggling beneath, feasting on whatever they could.
But not all of it was as filthy. Few areas, provided with "protection", were adorned with enough plaster and lies to seem almost slightly, even affluent. Among them, there was a tall business building, usually populated with activity. But tonight, the surroundings were lacking of the women, the gangs... as if everyone had strayed away. However, it was not deserted. Outside, you could see men in suits looking around, wearing sunglasses and sharp attire. All of this was as unlike the slums as it got.
One of them stood by the entrance, and spoke on the phone with an angry, hushed tone.

Nanako
4:00 PM
With directions as precise as what Carin had given her, it didn't take long to get to the Slums, even while she was pacing herself. One final leap took her down to street level, Nanako landing lightly before carefully making her way into the building. To most, she was sure the building would look like just another crumbling ruin amongst dozens in the Slums. The little things were what gave it away though, the intact windows, the absence of the usual musty smell of damp brick and dust. The squirrel girl navigated the building quietly, soon finding herself face to face with a nondescript door. There was no mailbox, no mail slot, and a quick check revealed there was no room under the door to slide a letter.
Biting the corner of her lip, Nanako brought up a hand to knock at the door. The squirrel girl waited for a bit, her tail flicking back and forth behind her and a boot tapping against against the ground. With no answer, Nanako listened for any sounds of movement inside the apartment, shrugged, and withdrew the letter and a small roll of tape from within her cleavage.
Nanako quickly taped the letter to the door, with strips of tape across all four corners to be certain it would be secure. With her task done, Nanako cracked a small smile, patting the letter to be sure it was secure, and turned around to leave.

6:00pm
The familiar sway of the horse's hips was a nice one, even as she stared up and around the city. The cowgirl couldn't help but giggle everytime Punishment passed a car or two, only to see some old man do a quick double-take. Sometimes, there would be a scoff, or a "Who does he think he is, riding a horse on the road!?" but that was only in the inner city. For some reason, the city-goers didn't seem to care too much about a horse from hell running around. They acted like this sort of thing was normal....
Seeing as she was still new to the city, she loved to ask Justice questions, partially to learn things and partially to hear that manly voice in the wind. "Hey Justice," she said, purring a little bit in his ear before giggling. "Why are there a bunch of men in suits here? I thought you said this was where poor people lived."
