The knife slowly rose through the thick smog of LA and settled threateningly on a slender neck - clutched fiercely by the hand that was once trusted. Mai wimpered, motionless and fearful set up on the golden gate bridge. Fear bit the surface of her skin as her heart paced faster and faster every second. She could only control her eyes, but they darted desperately to discover who is the culprit behind her abduction.
"Stay calm, I'm not after your blood, I would only kill you if need be" said a deep droning voice which startled her with recognition. It was Lin! Lin was the alien abductor, Mai's eyes widened with surprise as her vocal cords loosened to whimper out
"why?..."
"Time's up. I think you know very well why"
Mai felt the cold blade pierce through her goose-bumped skin as her face wrinkled in anticipation of pain. Lin's skilled slicing prohibited Mai to shriek, but she wondered when the pain would register, she could feel the intrusion of the blade into her throat, but no pain…
Lin swiveled Mai around and pushed her to the floor, digging the blade further and further. Mai, terrified, gazed at the fiery red flames that appeared in Lin's eyes.
She was scared.
She couldn't move, scream or feel pain. It was a bitter-sweet experience that she was much horrified to witness.
"DIE! Why won't you die?!"
A more demonic and dark persona seemed to take over Lin's voice and actions as he detached the knife from her neck and stabbed viciously into her abdomen, but she felt nothing. Then suddenly a thought seemed to brighten Lin's mind as he wound his arms up behind him contemptously and struck ferociously at Mai's heart. The pain crashed over her in strenuous waves as her head throbbed furiously at the shock. She let out an colossal screech, that drowned into the darkness and busyness of city life…
-----------------
Mai awoke to find herself face down in a pile of paperwork at her old familiar desk at Shibuya Physic Research. Her heart was still beating tremendously fast but the fear was slowly creeping away. She was relieved to find herself in control of her own body again. The light was slowly peeking into the office as the sunrise was visible out the great big glass window. The room was painted a pale reddy-pink. Mai unhurriedly got up from her uncomfortable office chair and stood by the window, she peered down to the streets outside as she thought about the unusual dream she had encountered. Mai had never dreamt of Lin before, and the thought never crossed her mind as to the potentical of evil in Lin.
Something caught her attention – suddenly big shadows emerged from on the street below and were heading for the stairs to the office. She knew all to well the ridicule she would face if it was her boss – Shibuya Kazuya, whom she called Naru because of his narcissist façade. So hurriedly she fled to the coats cupboard hoping he would disappear into his office and she could slowly slip out – after all, it was her day off today.
The door burst open.
"So Oliver, this is your sad excuse for an office, is it?" said a tall dark haired man with, what seemed a strong English accent.
-Oliver?.. who is Oliver? Mai thought puzzled in her confinement Intruders! She thought, escalating into panic mode.
"Oh James, be nice, he has done 2 times better than you when you were his age!" said a gaunt painfully thin women, with straight, long black hair which moved rhythmically behind her .
"Yes well he also had 2 times the funds!" replied James indignantly
Mai's heart was racing... what should I do? She thought as she could only hear broken bits of the conversation and suspected the worst of the strange voices. She knew what she would do! She'd charge at them forcefully telling them to leave or she would call the police… she took a moment to work up the courage then.
"Mother, Father – would you mind hurrying before my employees arrive- "
Mai came tumbling out of the broom cupboard with a bucket on her head and a broom stick pointed in fury which then melted into sour embarrassment… staring back at her was Naru and who now she identified as his mother and father.
There was a moment of shocked silence which was then broken by –
"I see you're early for a change Mai?" said an amused Naru
Annoyance pulsated through Mai's body as she thought How can he be snide at a time like this?!
"Oliver, look at the state of this girl, you mustn't be paying her well at all" said James full of concern circling around, observing her while stroking his chin.
"Yes James, I agree. Oliver, you shouldn't have such young employees guarding the office all night with merely a bucket and broom." said entracingly beautiful tall women who wore a discerning look, directed at her son.
Mai stayed quite still through all of this with a sheepish look on her face. She thought Maybe this was a dream too… I' m just hallucinating, I'm will wake up any second no-
"Do you have a name dear? –
Oliver, she isn't mute, is she" said the tall women inquisitively as she watched her son stroll leisurely to the window and shrugged back sloppily
"T-Taniyama Mai-desu" said Mai softly, the words barely escaping into the air, she was still in a state of disbelief at the situation. She had so many questions to ask… Why were Naru's parents here? Did something happen? Why were they calling Naru, Oliver? Why wasn't Naru saying anything? Explaining anything? Mai then abruptly realized that she still had a bucket on her head and a broom in her hand which, she then removed hastily and awkwardly.
"Taniyama-san… what a lovely name, so exotic, isn't it Emily?" said James jovially to his wife.
"Indeed, very pretty. So Taniyama-san, you have the sad pleasure of working for Oliver" Emily said jokingly willing her son over.
"I'm sorry, but… Oliver? Who is that?" Mai asked shaking her head with vague confusion.
"My dear child, you still must be half asleep – our son! Oliver is our son" said James strolling over to Naru and gripping him on the shoulders friendlily.
"I think you've learnt enough for today Mai – go home at once" said Naru darkly, not even bothering to look at her in the eye.
"Oliver! Such disrespect you show your employees! Apologize at once young man! –
I'm sorry dear, our son has been quite grumpy at our surprise arrival this morning because-
-Mother! Mai go home, right now!" Naru was now eyeing his mother, his teeth clenched as he paced past speedily and grabbed Mai by the arm and forced her out the door, closing it behind him.
They began hurriedly running down the stairs, with Mai's limp arm firmly in the grasp of Naru's tight hand.
"N-Naru… who were those people back there?... are they really your parents? Whats hap-
-you weren't meant to be there, and I don't owe you any explanation, just leave!" Said Naru firmly and coldly staring at her before he let go and swept off up the stairs back to his office.
