4th week Tuesday Night
"Her phone is on!!!! I've got the signal!!" Baba suddenly yells, Eisuke turns to him coldly, "I'm tracking, just few more minutes." He says, sounding as normal as possible. Shit, Mamoru needs to get to you before the others, to warn you and maybe even sends you away for good. Damn, he can't even begin to imagine what Eisuke will do to you if you return.
"Found her." Baba announces, everyone turns to look at the boss. "Kishi, go." Eisuke finally speaks for the first time, "I need you two to find the people behind this." He then turns to Ota and Baba before heading upstairs, the sound of shuddering glasses comes behind his close door.
The clock in Mamoru's car shows 20:05, you're gone for at least 24 hours. As a police, this is definitely good news. As a man, he is mixed with all kind of emotions. Guilty- he should have known better when you never return his calls; Concern- are you hurt? What else have they done to you? Anger- just because he's slept with you numerous times, doesn't make it less irritating when he watches you ride on top of the mobster; Jealous- a part of him wishes he's the one in the room with you; Worried- Eisuke looks fuckin pissed! What will he do to you? Haven't you suffered enough with him?
Millions of thoughts rush through Mamoru's head as he follows Baba's instructions, meanwhile the dispatcher announces the same location Mamoru is heading to, the police is on their ways too. Damnit!!! He drives as fast as he can, switching his sirens on.
He's the first arrives on scene, no one would ever guess this ordinary home is a crime scene. The place is pitch black, Mamoru carefully turns each knob as quiet as possible with gun in his hand, he needs to find you quickly before the others arrive. Suddenly he hears a door crack opens, hiding into a corner Mamoru sees a scar face woman in red heels walks out. "Hey! Why aren't you picking up? My ride is supposed to be here half an hour ago." She carries on and heads upstairs.
Mamoru sneaks in the room to see you straddling half naked in Soryu's embrace, he'd have enjoyed the sight in a total different circumstances. The sound of him clearing his throat wakes Soryu, "Aren't ya two love birds cozy?"
"Mamoru?!" You wake in surprise, is this another dream or has the drug wear off? His eyes dart around awkwardly as he pushes his hair out of his face. "I sure as hell dunno where to look anymore but ya two are in serious trouble."
Mamoru lets out a big sigh and hands you some tissues, "I ain't cleanin' his mess kid." This can't get any weirder, Mamoru hands you your bra from the floor. "Where are you looking at?" Soryu asks sternly, "Oh shuddaup! Ya fuckin idiot! This is the last thing ya should be worrying, the whole thing was live for us to watch."
You let out a gasp while both of you turn to face Mamoru, "Ya, he fuckin sees it, he sees it all, ya two are fucked!" Getting off Soryu, Mamoru puts his jacket on you. That's when he sees the track of bruises on your arms and legs, feeling the rage boils up inside him. He's a bloody cop and he fails to protect you! Those fuckin' psychos!
You hear police car sirens in the distance, "They're here. Dun tell them anything more than ya need to. Definitely not da ..." Pointing his finger at you two and finds himself at loss of words then the rest of the force arrive and start searching the entire place .
"Kishi, you're here?" The moment you hear Kirisawa's voice, your heart leap. Like you're caught cheating in bed with another man, only worse, you're kind of caught with two. His eyes lays on you with brows frown at you and the shirtless mobster. "We've got her!!!" Tennoji's voice yells from upstairs and Kirisawa whispers to Mamoru before he joins the young detective.
"Mam, we will have a female officer to drive ya to da station." You simply nod, Mamoru whispers and hands you something tiny. "Here's the guest list, kid." He then leaves as Hanai approaches Soryu and kneels down to work on the cuffs on his ankles. Sending you a doubtful look [ what the hell happened? ]
Arriving the station makes you feel like home, the smell of cheap coffee and the disgusting combination of weed, puke and wee. Oh but it feels like home, a place where you feel safe and where you truly belong. You wait in one of the interview rooms until Kirisawa comes in and switches off all the cameras.
You are still searching for the perfect explanation to your lieutenant about being half naked in a room with the leading man from Ice Dragon. The moment he steps close enough, he pulls you into his arms. "Thank god, you're alive!!" Tears automatically begin to roll down your cheeks, this is the very first time where you actually have a moment to process the fact that you're so close to death.
Sure, they don't seem to have any intention to kill you but it's as easy as nailing an ant. You're powerless, manipulated and disposable. Squeezing you tighter, feeling Kirisawa's hands on your waist, not wanting to let go. Is he disappointed? Have you failed him? "We need to pull you out immediately."
"What? NOOO!!" You snap, "No!! We've got the kidnappers, the people behind..."
"Wait, what do you mean kidnappers? There was only one person, Emiko Tanaka."
"What? No, one's with scar face and the other one, she only speaks through the speaker, I've never seen her."
"All the more reason you should stop, now." Kirisawa stops you and opens a case file on the table. "She admits everything from plotting to attacking Mia, drugging you and Soryu Oh, everything in black and white. She has signed the confession."
"She can't pull it off by herself! I heard their stories, they're victims of Eisuke. He's the one who's really responsible- Eisuke Ichinomiya! He's the reason why they attacked Mia!" "Mika..."
"The auction is this Friday! I have the guest list!! You've cracked the thumb drive, haven't you? Sir, we can't give up now, we are this close, this close!!"
"This is for Mia, for justice, for me!!" Kirisawa wipes away your last tear and leads you out the door, "Follow me" is all he says. Stopping in front of a guest room, he pauses and looks at you.
"Sir, please! Mi..... She's still lying in the hospital, all alone. It's..." You deliberately lower your voice, knowing to be discreet once you're out in the corridor. "I can't let Eisuke gets away with it and the auctions, he .... he needs to be put away."
Kirisawa's eyes fix on you with empathy and concerns, like you've lost your mind. But of course you haven't! Eisuke is a criminal, he's the reason of it all. "Is it really what you want?" He asks calmly, "Of course, we put away criminals but he's the only one you're accusing, what about the other four?"
His words ring in your head as you quiet down and stare into space. You've been so determined to get Eisuke, have your determination turn into obsessions? The other four are just collateral damage, aren't they? Why do you hate Eisuke so much? You must have known they will all get convicted once there's enough evidence but it never once crosses your mind. They all deserve it, don't they? Even Soryu and Mamoru?
"Just think it through, we can still put them away but is it necessary for you to return there?" He says lastly and opens the door, your eyes become blurry the moment you see the familiar figure with long black hair pacing back and forth nervously, your lips part and call out the person you miss most, "Mia!"
