re-cap time!
With that they walked out ot the bar, Mai took a notepad and pen and began writing down what alchol needed to be stocked where.
Chapter 8
The Afternoon rolled on quite quickly, Naru was getting use to everything around the bar, where everything was, where it was stocked, Mai taught him how to serve drinks, smile to the customers, how to say thank you after the customer was happy with what they ordered and handed them back there change.
BUT! the real challange was going to come soon enough when the nightclub would fill up and begin to get busy, luckly they had at least 30 minutes break so Mai grabbed them a drink each, Red Bull for herself and a Tea for Naru then went out back to get some air, " How you liking it so far Naru?"
He just looked to her and gave her one of his rare smiles, " its Annoying but ok at the same time," Mai couldn't help but laugh at that response, it was the kind of response she was expecting from him. " At least your going to get some pay for it, Carlos doesn't do volentery work so, he will pay you and its pretty desent too."
Naru shrugged, he was only doing this because of two reasons, the first to make sure Mai was safe, and two, because he wanted to be near her. " Your birthday's coming up right ?" he looked away while speaking, Mai nodded she had completely forgot her 18th birthday was only 2 weeks away. "Yeah, why do yo-" "what would you like?"
Mai's eye's widened, no she couldn't let him buy her anything, " Just... having you there on the day is fine with me Naru, i don't care about anything else, so long as i'm with my family, friends and my boyfriend."
She was looking down at the ground blushing, when suddenly she dropped her drink from her right hand holding it in pain, " Gah..." "Mai!" he placed his drink down and went holding her wrist. "I'm fine, it just went numb for a second, i guess i over worked it a little too much." Naru gently kissed her hand and looked to her, " Maybe you should go home, you've onl just got the movement back in it. Overworking it like this might make it worse."
Mai shook her head, " No it's ok, if i get any more pain i'll just stick to till work, i promise i need the money naru for the rent remember." He nodded but didn't shrug it off, and eventually they went back inside to get back to the night shift.
Over at the SPR Office, Lin was on his own while trying to research into what naru had asked him when the door chimed open, He stood up and walked out of his office to see the man that had kidnapped Masako, "Hello how can i help you?" The man smirked a little, "I was wondering if a Mai Taniyama works here?"
Lin raised his eye brow in suspision, "She does, but its currently her day off, if you wish to leave a message and come back another day i can let her know" He shook his head, "that wont be nessasary, She works at the flaming dragon nightclub also doesn't she?" Lin just looked to the man, " i have no right to disclose any information about any employees at this office firm."
The man, stood there smirking, and brought out a silver 13mm pistol, " oh i think you will answer the questions i'm asking, Now where is she?" Lin was unphased by the weapon, but reached behind him and sent a page to Naru to let him know to get Mai out of the club, " Hands where i can see them you chinese bastard, I have several men in that club right now. So if you don't confirm it, several people will die at that club at my command."
Lin just looked at him, he didn't want anyone hurt, "She's currently got another job down at the harbor in the fish market. I suggest you take your men out of that club now before i am forced to call authorities" The man smirked and shot Lin in the leg, just below the knee cap, "If your lying to me i will come back and make sure that the next bullet will be aimed at your head." With that the man left the office.
Lin held pressure on his leg, he had to sit against the wall, making sure the man had fully gone, he took out his mobile phone and called Naru,.
Naru had taken the call in the back, and nodded, he made sure to call Ayako and monk to go assist lin and get him to the hospital to treat his injuries, Then went and spoke to Carlos, "I need you to call the police right now, but do it quietly, Mai is in danger, so are many of your customers, There are armed men in here"
Carlos just looked to Naru " Are you just trying to get out of working kid? Mai told me your was a very bossy person once." Naru grabbed the man and threw him into the wall, " My assistant back at the SPR office has just been shot in the leg and confirmed to me that there are members of the black tiger clan in this club! If you do not call the police i will and i will also make sure i buy you out of this club."
Carlos just smirked and laughed when Naru felt a cold barrol against his neck, "Sorry kid, but i have no intentions on calling the police on my own men. You see... I'm the leader of the black tiger clan. Thank you for bringing Mai back to work." Naru couldn't move, he was unphased by the gun but his gut was telling him he needed to go and help Mai, "You bastard! you've had this set up all from the beginning haven't you! You hoped for Mai to die when we was investigating that paranormal activity 3 weeks ago!"
Carlos smirked, "You truly are smart , now take a nap," the man behind naru brought the gun and hit him over the head knocking him out.
Out in front, Mai was still serving drinks and handling the till, she wondered where Naru could be when she suddenly got a bad feeling about something, She called Kenji over the security box, ' Kenji have your men round up all the customers and get them out, explain to them we have a fire up in the top office and call the police, anyone who resists make sure you do what your trained for.' Kenji recieved it and immediatly people began evacuating. Once the place seemed empty Mai reached under the bar and grabbed out her own 9mm pistol.
"I have a really bad feeling," she began walking cautiously around the club up to the office, where her gut feeling was taking her, once she was close to carlos office, her gut feeling was telling her that there was danger in that room, And Naru needed help, once she was in front of the door she carefully turned the cold silver door handle and opened it. The room was dark, but she could make out a figure sitting in the chair,
Turning on the light she saw Naru out cold tied up to the chair, Dropping her guard she rushed straight to him "NARU! na-" thats when she had made a mistake, and felt the cold barrol at the back of her neck, "I wouldn't move Mai, or i maybe forced to kill you both." It was him, Carlos, "Why are you doing this Carlos?"
Carlos just smirked as he grabbed mai by the hair pulling her up, "Because, i want revenge on your family for stopping what i began all them years ago, i'm sorry but you won't be living till your 18th birthday. But i will make your boyfriend watch you die a slow painful death,"
As he mentioned Naru his eye's opened seeing Mai struggling against Carlos hair, "Mai! he's the leader of this whole thing!" Carlos kicked Naru into the stomach making his chair hit the desk behind him, "Shut up you british bastard, Were having a little reunion face to face. After all, i was the one who killed your mother. In that slow brutal way, i hid in the cupboard waiting for Mai to come home, when i saw her face seeing her mother die, It was priceless, but now i just need to make you Die to make sure Sasuke knows his betrayal well."
He Threw Mai into the wall and punched her straight in the face, he then lifted his fist again sending it flying straight into Mai's stomach causing her to be winded, Mai fell to the floor and a kick was sent into her still healing ribs causing a sickening crack to be heard, Naru could only watch the horror of his girlfriend being beaten, He tried to fight against the ropes but all that did was cause the ropes to break the top barrior of his skin.
Carlos hadn't finished yet, he grabbed Mai's left hand and bent it backwards snapping her wrist, causing a painful earshattering, heart breaking scream. All carlos could do was have this sadistic smile on his face, he loved to hear her pains, he loved to see her helpless and weak. holding her up by the hair again, he slapped her across the face Naru could see the tears rolling down, he could feel his own tears falling, "LET HER GO! Stop this now!" Carlos looked back to Naru then one of his men gagged him, Causing him to muffle screams threw it.
He threw Mai onto the desk " You know, i haven't had a good fuck in a while and Virgins always get me more turned on..." he began to roughly grope Mai in different Area's she couldn't move, she was frozen on the spot. Tears flowing down her face, as he pulled down her pants, " Tut tut, someone's been cutting again, Naru widened this wasn't happening , this was some dream, He was watching the most horrifying thing and Naru couldn't do anything about it, Listening to her cries, Hearing her screams, Seeing her discared clothing on the floor.
Then he heard the 3 words he didn't want from her, "Just kill me..."
Carlos smirked Raising his gun, "Gladly, " just as carlos was about to pull the trigger over Mai's naked chest, a gun shot was heard...
Chapter 7 completed, wow, Is mai dead? whats going to happen to lin, Will Naru be able to cope?
