Chapter 10
Amon walked into the office of STN-J that day not daring to hope but maybe praying.
At the briefing he sat down and reported no news. Sakaki and Doujima said that the name Chihiro narrowed their search down to 13,562 people since apparently Chihiro was an extremely common name
Karasuma said she had come up with nothing as had Micheal. Anger welled up inside Amon. It was day six and they had no real leads except something about this Chihiro person. Amon was so vexed he wanted to break something. His hands balled into fists.
Just then Haku walked into the room. They all stared at him and he uncomfortably recited the message. He couldn't help feeling that he was getting to involved in this girls life. A feeling of uncertainty settled over him
They all stared at him stunned over the contents of the message
"Does she think we are helpless or something!" Doujima finally snapped
"well if you look at it from her viewpoint the attack here was aimed at her but it ended up with all of us getting shot…I don't think she can deal with that happening again…" Micheal said sadly
"so she disappeared" Sakaki whispered. They all stared at eachother as if trying to come up with what they wanted to say. Finally Amon said quietly
"tell her its not her fault if something happens. We all know the risks…and we want to risk it anyway" it seemed to sum up what everyone felt. Haku nodded and left and the daily message came up once more.
They heard that awful voice and they ran to the computer. He spoke to them of his increasing impatience with their incompetence and while he spoke Robin wrote the word
ASATA
On the wall.
"now remember six days" he said and the screen flicked off. Amon didn't have to say anything
Sakaki and Doujima were at the computer searching the witch list for ASATA and CHIHIRO
Karasuma did a general search and Micheal was analyzing the videos. Amon swept out of the room.
They all sat there after he left.
"I don't know why he didn't tell her when he could have Doujima quipped quietly.
"would that help?" Karasuma asked pointedly
"No" she muttered
"but he might be a little nicer if that was the case" there was silence as the tried to imagine such an occurrence.
"If Robin was here she would protest and say that Amon was nice…in his way" Micheal said with a sadly reminiscent smile. Gloom settled over the team once more and they went back to work.
That night as Amon he understood the guilt she must be feeling about that incident. He felt similar guilt over what happened to Kate. But he had never stopped coming to STN-J she had simply disappeared. He couldn't stand it all. He was in love with someone who he could not love and now she would probably die anyway. The thought nearly killed him.
What hurt worse was the dream he had that night
He found himself running down an alley. He could barely see where he was going but he had to keep moving. Suddenly he came to an intersection between two alleys as he looked in each direction he could see that he was in a maze of dark alleys. None the less he had to keep moving. He was trapped and he needed to find her before it was too late. Turning this way and that he made is way through the maze and when he finally came out of it he stopped dead in his tracks. He was too late. The man who's name he didn't know but who's face was branded in his mind. He stood over Robin with the gun still smoking from the last bullet that left. It obviously hit its target. Robin lay on the ground and at first it seemed as if she were sleeping but then you might notice the blood pooling around her body and mixing with the rain that had begun to fall. Asata was now gone but it didn't matter anyway. He knelt down next to Robin and checked her life signs. She was still alive….barely. He tried to stop the flow of blood but it was no use. He became more and more frantic as the panic set in. and then— Amon bolted upwards gasping. His whole body was covered in sweat and he felt as if he had just run through that entire maze. He checked his hands just to make sure there was no blood on them. He flopped back on his mattress with an annoyed groan. He continued to stare at his hands unable to rid himself of the vision of her blood on them. He shivered at the thought. I will find her he thought I have toOk chappie 10…there it is so enjoy and R&R
And I think Amon is cracking under the strain…oh no!
