"Hello" I called as I banged loudly on the door with a growing pain in my stomach. I do not know how much time has passed since I was put in this room, or even how long it has been since I was knocked out, but I do know that I am starving. I wonder if anyone at school, or family has realized I am missing. It might take longer for family to realize since I did tell Uncle and Sis that I was going to spend the next week or so relaxing and ignoring them all, especially Uncle and Saeki. I really needed that break, and now I am regretting it full heartedly.
I groaned as I continued to receive the same response, nothing. I leaned on the stone wall and slid down to the cold ground.
I am hungry and tired...
A yawn slipped my lips as I felt my eyelids become more heavy. I hate feeling like this. I want to curl up into a ball and sleep, but at the same time stuff my face with food. I imagined the pasta I had planned to cook for dinner and my stomach growled. I brought my knees up to my chest and rested my forehead against them. My eyelids instantly began to close.
My eyelids shot open when I heard a loud bang. I looked around to see nothing has changed. The loud bang sounded like a gunshot. I stood up and heard the shot repeated.
What is going on out there?
Emiko paced back and forth in her room at the Prime Minister's residence waiting for an update on what was going on. She stopped in front of her mirror and examined it. A nervous expression looked back at her as the door finally opened.
Emiko turned to see Kaiji walking in. She pushed away the thoughts of scolding him for not knocking out of her head as she ran toward him.
"Have you heard anything?" Emiko asked.
Kaiji sighed, "I just only informed the Chief now and he went to go tell the robot. They are going to figure out a plan on what to do next." Tears began fall down Emiko's face as she hugged Kaiji.
"N-naomi is gone, probably even d-d-dead, because of me" Emiko cried into his shirt, "if they wanted me, why did they take her? S-she has nothing to do with any of this! Naomi has no connection to any of it."
"Shh" Kaiji said patting Emiko's back, "she will be okay, everything will be okay."
A phone began ringing in the dark as Emiko slept. She opened her eyes slightly to see Kaiji standing up with his phone lighting up in his hands.
Walking out of the room he said, "hello." Emiko sat up in bed with a hopeful look. Maybe it was an advancement in the case, maybe they have a clue to Naomi's location. A phone glowed on the bedside table with a low ringtone causing Emiko to jump. Emiko grabbed the phone and answered it quickly with a confused look.
"Hello?" she asked.
The voice, breathing loudly, stated, "hello Emiko, are you looking for your friend." It was a familiar voice, it was the same person from the mall when Kaiji and I were attacked.
"Where is she?" Emiko whispered so Kaiji could not hear.
He laughed, "if you would like to know meet me at the address I text you." Before Emiko can say more there was a loud beep cutting him off. At the same time Kaiji walked in and looked at Emiko surprised.
"You are aw-" Kaiji began before noticing the phone in her lap, "did someone call you?"
Emiko nodded, "but what was your phone call ab-?"
"Emiko, who called you?" Kaiji cut her off and Emiko told him what happened. Kaiji took the phone as it went off, "how did he get your number. You just got this phone today." He read the address and took out his own phone and put the two side by side.
"Chief just called me saying they tracked your old phone to the address he had sent you" Kaiji began, "stay here."
"Where are you going?" Emiko asked jumping out of bed, "I wa-."
"Stay here" Kaiji said before exiting the room leaving Emiko alone and anxious.
I stared at the ceiling. The gunshots continued at random intervals for the past ten minutes. I had my hands over my ears as the shots seemed to become closer and closer. What is going on out there? I just hope the shots do not end up in hereā¦
I heard footsteps outside and raced toward the door. I raised my hands to bang on the door and stopped. What if it is someone dangerousā¦
The footsteps stopped in front of the door and I heard strange noises as they tried to open the door. I looked around the room trying to search for something to defend myself and found nothing. I looked down at my belt realizing that is the closest thing I have to a weapon. I took it off and stood beside the door ready to attack and run.
The door opened and I swung.
"Ouch" the man yelled and turned toward me with his gun up. I seen this man before, Daichi Katsuragi. When he saw me he lowered the gun with a small smile on his face.
"Your name is Naomi Ogawa right?" he asked and I nodded my head nervously. Is he working with the man that kidnapped me? No, he cannot be, right?
