Chapter 4 - The rescue

This a tale of reckless love
Living a life of crime on the run
A brush to a gun
To paint these states green
And red
Everybody freeze
Nobody move
Put the money in the bag
Or we will shoot
Empty out the vault
And me and my doll will be on our way

Annais found the black van at the abounded building in six floors. She stopped and got off the white horse. She patted the horse. Her clothes are soaked wet but she wouldn't care.

"We just jump up kick back whip around and spinand then we jump back to it again. Ninja-Go!Ninja-Go!"

Annais heard her iphone is ringing and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Annais, is your school play over?"

"No, Daddy. I have a busy role play as Snow White. Don't worry; I'll stay at Nagito's mansion for sleepover."

"Oh yeah... it's your sleepover. Alright then, have fun! Love you, my pretty princess."

"Love you too, Daddy."

Our paper faces flood the streets
and if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we'll play with fire
Cause

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime

She ended the call and looked at the building. 'Kami-sama, I hope Nagito is still alive.' she thought in her mind. She went inside the building in a hurry. She ran as fast as she can.

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws
Fall behind the grind tonight
Left unaware that the lone store owner won't go down
without a fight
Where we gonna go
He's got us pinned
Baby I'm a little scared
Now don't you quit
He's sounded the alarm
I hear the sirens closing in

At the sixth floor...

"F$# ! $H#T!" the serial killer cussed and threw anything in his background. Nagito heard a crashing noise and wondered why. Then, the serial killer has another plan to do. While the serial killer is busy, Annais went to the upstairs quickly. In the fourth floor, she stopped and panted. She was tired by running upstairs for so long like on a mountain hike.

Our paper faces flood the streets
and if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we're burning this place to the ground
Cause

"F#*^ YOU, STAIRS!" she yelled but she covered her mouth because the serial killer might hear her scream. She continued to run upstairs. Finally, she reached at the sixth floor. The serial killer tied up the large garbage bag and carried it. Annais hid under the table with a tablecloth. She kept quite. The serial killer walked away, went to the elevator and pushed the button. The elevator closed and the serial killer vanished. Annais came out at the table. She face palmed.

"Dang it! Why I didn't use it?!" she said. Then, she saw a door at the front of her. She opened it and gasped. The twenty kids from other schools tied up, looked at her and whimpered. Annais shook her head and helped the kids. She untied the ropes and handkerchiefs.

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty

"Yaaaay! We're saved!" the pink girl cheered.

"Not quite yet. The serial killer is still here. We need to escape." said the blond haired boy with a fancy uniform and white eye glasses.

"Can we use the elevator?" the fat girl asked.

"What if the serial killer is using it?" the short boy asked and shivered by fear.

"Then, use the stairs." Annais answered.

"It seems lethargic but we don't have choice." said the blond haired with fancy uniform and white eye glasses.

"By the way, have you seen my best friend? He has white hair and grey eyes." Annais asked.

"Nope, we didn't see him." the fat boy replied.

"Maybe your best friend is already dead." the blond boy with fancy uniform and white eye glasses.

Annais shocked that what he said. She doesn't believe that Nagito is dead. "Just get out of here or else, I'm gonna kick you out." she said.

All the twenty kids left Annais alone and ran downstairs. Annais finds something in the room. She grabbed the long rope and tied it at the table. She fell out the rope at the window to make a ladder. She found a gun on the table and took it. Directly, the elevator is open and the serial killer came in. He went to the room. Annais pointed the gun at the serial killer and pulled the trigger. She shot at the left leg of the serial killer.

The skies are black with blood-filled brain
A morbid painting on display
This is the night the young love died
Buried at each others side

"AAAAAAAAAHHH! F$#K!" the serial killer screamed in pain. He hurts his left leg. "WHAT THE HELL!" he shouted.

"Where's Nagito?!" Annais asked with her dark eyes.

"Who the heck is Nagito?! I don't know him!" the serial killer answered with confusion. Annais shot at his right leg and the serial killer screamed again.

"Are you stupid?! I saw you kidnapped him. That's why I'm here." said Annais.

"Oh! You saw me. Well, I-" Annais shot at the serial killer's left arm and the serial killer screamed again.

"HEY! I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I KILLED HIM!" the serial killer yelled. Annais shot his right shoulder. The serial killer got hurt too much. He was bleeding. "Alright... I'll give you One billion yen to tell me the truth. One. . ' ." Annais glared at the serial killer and pointed at his head.

"Stop! He's not dead! He threw him away like a garbage bag! He's still alive! I'm sorry!" the serial killer told the truth to Annais.

Annais put down the gun and spun it. "Well, Good thing that you told me the truth. I accepted it." she said. The serial killer sighed for relief. "Negatively... you killed Yuuki, many kids and adults. You kidnapped my best friend and the twenty kids from other schools. I cannot forgive your sin like that. I will say... I lied about the money and this." Annais pulled the trigger and shot at the serial killer's head.

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
So now we haunt you in the dark
You'll never take us alive
We live as ghost among these streets
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime

The serial killer is no longer alive and bleeding on the floor. Suddenly, she felt her left eye burn and pain. She touched it.

"Argh! My eye. I didn't have chemicals or something." she hissed.

"Hurry! We will take down the serial killer." she heard a man's voice coming from the stairs.

Annais shut the door and went out of the window. She climbed down the rope quickly. She heard a boom.

"Oh my god! The serial killer is dead."

"He's on a suicide. We should close the case."

Annais knew that it was the policemen's voices. The rope is going to rip. Annais climbed down quickly. The rope snapped apart. Annais screamed and fell into the huge garbage box. She landed on the old bed safely and winced that her body hurt a little. Then, the three policemen heard a muffled sound from the large garbage bag, near at the garbage box.

"Sir, we heard someone from the garbage bag." the first police said.

"Well, let's open it." the second police commanded.

The third police opened the garbage bag and shocked that the inside of the garbage bag is Nagito. Nagito was still gagged, blindfolded and tied up. "There's a boy inside the bag." the third police said.

"Nagito!" Annais popped out and went down the garbage box. The three policemen shocked. Annais took the blindfold and the gag ball.

Nagito opened his eyes and looked at Annais. "Annais!" he smiled.

The three policemen helped and untied Nagito. They asked all the questions about what happened. Nagito answered everything what happened but Annais didn't say the truth that she freed the twenty kids and killed the serial killer. She lied about she was kidnapped and 'Superman' appeared to save them. The three policemen let Nagito and Annais go. Nagito has a small paper in his hand and put it inside his pocket. After they let them go, Annais and Nagito noticed that the blond haired boy with fancy clothes and white eye glasses patted the white horse.

"Yo! I thought you're running away from the serial killer." said Annais.

"I know but I need a ride back home. Can you take me to my house?" the blond haired boy asked.

"Sure...What's your name?" Annais asked and raised her eyebrow.

"Byakuya Togami... and you are?" Byakuya asked.

"I'm Nagito Komaeda. This is my best friend, Annais Kiseki." Nagito smiled and introduced to Byakuya. "Um... where did the horse come from?" he asked to Annais.

"At the school gate... long story." Annais replied.

"Let's go. I don't want to waste my time." said Byakuya and climbed up to the white horse.

Nagito and Annais looked each other and shrugged. They climbed up to the white horse and sat on the saddle. Annais will control the horse. While they're riding, Byakuya showed the direction to Annais. Annais followed and realized that Byakuya's home is a huge mansion just like Nagito.

"Whoa! You leave there. I have no idea." Annais surprised.

"Tsk." Byakuya got off the white horse and went to his mansion. He looked at Annais. "Where do you lived?" he asked.

"123 Sesame Street. My neighbors are Elmo, Cookie Monster and Oscar."

"..."

"Just kidding! 9 Sakurasaki Street. Nagito and I were neighbors and our houses are near." Annais answered.

"Very well... Thank you for saving me and take a bath. You smell very bad. You make the entire atmosphere worst." Byakuya went home.

"Ay naku! Thanks for saying that. It was the serial killer's fault." Annais pouted.

"At least, he said 'thank you'. Anyway, we need to go to the store." Nagito requested.

"Huh! Why?" Annais questioned him.

"I'll tell you soon." Nagito smiled.
