Dusk was setting in the city San Fransokyo. This is a popular city, first built in around 1966 after the original San Francisco was destroyed by an earthquake in 1906. The American government collaborated with the Japanese government after WWII to rebuild the city after decades of abandonment and disrepair. Now in 2127, this is a new bustling city is filled with high tech architecture, bright colors that shine in the night, and tall skyscrapers that tower over the rest of the city.
Near the heart of the city, there is a hospital home to several hundred patients that have received diseases, injuries, or for those who made special deliveries to the new world. And a special one has already been delivered.
There is a nursery room located on the eastern wing of the hospital, 2nd floor room 83B. The room is housing at least 25 babies, some male, some female. But all of them are going to, or already went through some exams and will soon be ready to be delivered to their parent's homes. On the outside of the nursery, there are 2 5 year old kids looking into the window. Their names are Hiro and Hitomi Hamada. Both of them are twins with similar needs and wants between one another. And what they both want especially is in the room; near the glass window, there is a small baby boy with a dark brown hair just like them. And he is sounding asleep inside the room. Their parents named him Yutashi Hamada. Both of them are very excited; they're gonna be big brother and sister, like they always wanted.
Voice: Hey, you two. Are you excited?
Hiro and Hitomi looked behind to see their older, 12 year old brother, Tadashi Hamada walking over to them. They both nodded.
Hitomi: Yeah. I can't wait to show him my Barbie doll collection.
Hiro: No way, he wants to be with me and my robots.
Hitomi scoffed.
Hitomi: You really think he won't be scared of some of them?
Tadashi: She is right, Hiro. Some of the robots you made are scary.
Hiro looked at Tadashi and pouted.
Hiro: Hey. We're brothers, you're supposed to be on MY side.
Tadashi just shrugged, before saying;
Tadashi: Anyway, dad says it's time for dinner at the Cafeteria hall. They're serving some salad and pie.
The twins looked at each other and squealed, hugging each other.
Tadashi: Shh! The babies are asleep!
Hiro and Hitomi: Oh…sorry.
The two looked at each other, before skedaddling away. Tadashi looked at the twins, before turning his head to the nursery. He looked at the crib containing his baby brother, and smiled at the sight of such a sleeping baby.
Tadashi: Hey there, little guy. Soon, you'll be coming home, and you'll have a loving family soon.
He gave a smile as the baby slightly moved to make himself more comfortable. He was so into the sight of the baby that he wasn't paying attention to the sound of footsteps coming from the right.
Voice: Uh…excuse me, boy?
Tadashi gasped and leapt back a bit to see a man in his late 40s standing next to him.
Tadashi: Oh…sorry, I didn't hear you. Anyway, may I help you sir?
Man: Uh, yes uh…which one is yours?
Tadashi looked confuse a bit. The man clarified a bit.
Man: The babies.
Tadashi understood now.
Tadashi: Oh…that one. Why?
The man looked at the baby and gave a smile.
Man: I just wanted to know why a child would be here on his own in the nursery room.
Tadashi: Oh…oh yeah, I've got to go to the Cafeteria. Good bye, sir.
Tadashi waved good-bye to the kind sir, and left the room. The man looked back for a while, before setting his eyes on baby Yutashi in the room. His gaze soon hardened a bit, before he looked around, then inside. There are nurses still inside the room. Then he checked the time; 8:45 PM. The babies are to be scheduled to their parents by next morning. So, he left the nursery, thinking of a plan…
He walked along the hallway, passing by several nurses and other staff members. Upon looking at a janitor, he thought of an idea to pass security later at night. He stopped by one side at the wall, looked at the janitor who was moping the floor at the other side, and pulled out his right arm, which has a watch wrapped around the wrist. He aims the watch at the direction of the janitor, and he pressed a button, causing small, rapid beeping to be heard.
Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep-Boop Boop!
The screen of his watch showed a picture of the man's clothing, and zooming in onto his nametag. Perfect, the man thought to himself. Soon, he saved the data and walked away to the exit of the hospital, waiting for the perfect moment to execute his plan.
Later that night; it was 12:30 PM, and the staff are now cleaning up the messes. At the entrance of the hospital, the man from earlier approached the parking lot to the hospital. Grabbing his watch, he pressed a button, and a holographic scanner emits from the watch, changing all of his clothing from a shady-looking man, to being similar to the janitor he scanned earlier, complete with a nametag named Harold Cellarage. Soon, he got out of the car, and began walking towards the hospital entrance, finally entering inside.
He approached a janitorial closet, and looked inside. There are several mops and a water container for the mop. The man took the mop and water container and walked off. He carried the equipment across the hallways, blending in with the working environment as he approached the nursery. His heart began beating with anticipation of what he's gonna do, and he hoped this would work.
At last, he approached the nursery. There was a nurse still inside, tending to the babies. So, the man played it cool and began scrubbing the floor. Though, he still kept an eye on the nurse, as she lifted one baby from the bed, who was crying his eyes out. She bounced him gently for a little bit, before the baby soon calmed down. The nurse then gently sets him back down, before rubbing her hand against his head gently, and then she left the baby silently and opened the door. The man looked down and continues sweeping the floor to remain unnoticed. The nurse then looked over at the janitor, a bit curious as to why he's here, but then she shrugged, and walked off. The man eyed at the nurse as she left the room. He then looked around, and pressed a button on glasses. The scanners on the screen of the lenses hit all of the walls; no one is in here or behind the walls. All clear…
He placed the mop into the container, and then slowly opened the door. Carefully, he crept through the room, searching through the nursery for the baby he's looking for. His heart began beating quickly; if he messes up one time, the babies would cry like alarm clocks, and would draw attention.
After a while, he was able to find one crib labeled; Yutashi Hamada. Perfect, he thought. Looking around one last time through the scanning glasses, he found no one at the room. He looked at the baby again, and gently raised his hands out. His silent raspy breathing was the only noise that can be heard, though it is barely audible. Gently, he lowered his hands onto the bed, and touched Yutashi's cheeks. He gently caressed it, and baby Yutashi subconsciously snuggled closely to it.
Gently, but slowly, he moved the hands to go below the baby's back, and his muscles began to tense up a bit, worrying about waking him up. But it seemed that he's a deep sleeper. Soon, he lifted Yutashi off from the bed, and placed him in his arms. He then looked around again, and no one was around, though his scanners have detecting something tiny metallic on the ceiling. The scanners identified it as a security camera, and it's designed with facial recognition technology, as from its point of view, it was able to identify the man as the janitor; Harold Cellarage. However, it seems to be fooled, as the scanners show the man's identity, it's not the correct one. It must be some kind of device the man was wearing that interferes with the signal.
However, the man was no fool; in the sighting of a criminal, the camera would send out a silent alarm to alert authorities. He quickly, but not too fast as to disturb Yutashi, left the room and began 'speed-walking' throughout the hallways. Realizing it would take too long to go out the usual way; he turned to the left and used the stairs. Here in the hospital, they used the stairs only in emergencies. And even then, it would still take some time. He looked down; there are 3 floors downwards.
Sighing, he leapt over the railing and landing on the 1st floor. The force of the landing caused the baby to begin stirring. Immediately remembering how he raised his daughter, he immediately began bouncing Yutashi. After 7 seconds, he began to calm down, much to the abductor's relief.
He walked out of the building, pressed a button on his watch that caused his disguise to dissipate and got into his car. He placed Yutashi onto the driver seat beside him, and gently drove away, careful not to rush away so as not to make anyone nearby think he's the abductor.
The engines revving, the gas pedal pushed, the abductor then drove away from the hospital, leaving behind an otherwise silent hospital that would later become an infamous crime case…
