One Thing Leads To Another
Chapter 2
-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-
"Yes?" Kaoru said as she cracked the screen door open.
"A message for Takani Megumi, Leuitentant Fujita said she'd be here." a young voice replied from the darkness.
Taking the piece of paper from the messanger and handing it to Megumi, Kaoru thanked the messanger.
"Saito wants to speak with me.."
Megumis voice trailed off as she read through the entire message. Her eyes widened and her heart nearly stopped as she read:
"...Ive taken your words to heart. I need your help, please.
-Saito Hajime"
Was there another part of Saito that Megumi had never seen? Had anyone ever been asked by Saito for help? Could this even be real?
Questioning eyes looked at Megumi as she folded the paper and tucked it away.
"He must be ill. Ill go immeditally." she called back over her shoulder as she rushed out the door, "Thank you for your hospitallity! See you soon!"
"O-kay." Yahiko stood watching as Megumi faded quickly into the darkness, "women-----"
"DONT EVEN GO THERE, YAHIKO!"
O.O
Saito stood beside his office widow that over looked the walk way leading to the police station. Megumis figure was quickly making its way towards the front door. Saitos mind began to rush. Why am I feeling this way? He thought to himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway. His heart skipped a beat. Maybe smoking really is harming me.
-KNOCK-KNOCK-
"Come in."
Saito didnt even turn around as the door opened and then shut.
"Thank you for coming so quickly, Megumi."
"Your note sounded urgent," Megumi replied as she took the out the piece of paper and walked up behind Saito "I think Ill let you dispose of it."
As Saito turned to take the paper, their eyes met..
"Thank you."
Walking accross the room to his desk, Saito opened a drawer and pulled out a small wooden box, "Here is all of my cigarettes, do what you wish with them" he said as he handed the box to Megumi "No one wishes to have their life cut short- but, it occurred to me that even though Im a patient of yours, it doesnt matter if I quit smoking or not."
Saito sat down and leaned back. His eyes rested on Megumi who was looking angry but yet puzzled at the same time.
"Is there another reason you called me here, Saito?" Megumi said as she stepped forward toward the chair Saito had sat in.
"You tell me."
"Psh, dont play with me!"
Megumi looked out the window, her back to Saito, who rose from his chair.
"Who said I was playing?" he asked almost in a whisper as he come up behind her.
"W-what is it you want from me?"
"I dont want anything from you, I just want you!!!"
Facing each other, Saito and Megumi stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Saito, shocked by his own words and Megumi, speechless- the scilence became deafening. The small clock on Saitos desk ticked as midnight arrived. Breaking the scilence, Megumi sighed and looked down at her hands.
"We'll talk tommrow."
Nodding in agreement, Saito escorted Megumi to the front gate of the station. After bidding her goodnight, Saito headed for bed- though he doubted sleep would come.
