Hi there! This is Sjeherazade, sorry for keeping you wait for the continuation of this fic, but I have three very good reasons for it. First, when I began uploading this last spring I was in my last weeks at university so I had to focus on that. Second, I had got reviews and messages containing things that inspired me to more stuf - for examlpe I got the idea to give Sanae a bigger part in the story. And third - Once and for all, I'm not a native english-speaker and I knew that if I had tried to continue uploading at the same speed as I was when I finished I know I had done a lot of language-misstakes that I wasn't able to correct with so much else in my head. In other words I wanted to do a better job than I could do at that time so I decided to wait.

Now - Enjoy

Sjeherazade

Kapitel 10

A little later Geki, Goshi and Jii sat in the bus, planning what to do next. They didn't know which stops the mafia would do along the way, they couldn't figure out where the boat or boats was right now. Or for that matter how many prisoners there was on the boats and how long they could have been caught there.

Most important, they didn't have a clue how they would be able to find the boats now hours after they had left the harbor. And that was more important now after Dan once again had broken records in idiocy and managed to, not only got himself captured but Boi as well.

At the same time Mei, Saki, Ren, Hiroto and Hanto had found the Mafia buildings at the harbour, they went there because the shops had closed. The idea was to make sure that if they manage to rescue those on the boat, because they were quite certain that there was more people than the Shinkengers, then they would need to get a lot of food and probably also medicines because they didn't know how long the ones' who had been imprisoned the longest time has been sitting there, and they had a feeling that these had not been prioritized by the Mafia. Starvation and disease should be living on that ship.

Hiroto watched out from behind a building, the others sneaked out behind him and was now waiting patiently for what he will say.

"It seems calm." He whispered "As long as we don't do anything that seems suspicious there shouldn't be any problem.

"How many people did you see?" Mei wanted to know.
"Only two." Hiroto replied "And they seem to be asleep ... good luck," he said, and then he sneaked off to a shed a little bit further away.

Hanto nodded and walked away calmly towards another door a little farther away to see what's inside another door and then Saki, Mei and Ren sneaked away too. Saki thought it was a quite little uncomfort to be in the Thai mafia land in Japan but she constantly reminded himself of the shinkengers' situation and consoled herself with the fact that she at least had got a choice when she ended up there.

When the thought struck Saki, she was close to tears again. As Geki and Goshi had told her about the conversation they had with Sanae she had told them that she had managed to kidnap them by anaesthetising them, her sister hadn't even had the courage to see the people she sacrificed in their eyes. Saki could not bear the thought of what the Shinkengers had thought when they woke up after that. They were probably fixed in some way, like on a slave ship. Saki knew that their origami had been taken from the Shinkengers as she and her friends had be forced to steal them back, and Saki felt sick when she thought about what the Shinkengers had thought when they discovered that these things were gone. It must have been terrible. In fact that would be the same thing as seeing their last hope to escape had disappeared. They must have felt so terribly powerless at that time and all because of Sanae.

Saki clenched. Sanae would get for this, now that she had no hold on her anymore, she would indeed ... then Saki was hit by yet another dark thought. Maybe she hadn't seen Sanae tear the photos, maybe she had just seen her tear an empty pink envelope. For what Saki knew Sanae could actually have ripped an empty envelope.

Hanto sneaked back to their hideout with a backpack full of rice as they agreed on. He waited for the others to come back so that they would be able to review for the next trip as a precaution would do at another store that doen't arouse the suspicions of the Mafia. He was soon joined by Hiroto who had been really successful even as a burglar.

Hanto and Hiroto sat there for fifteen minutes, eventually they started to become concerned that none of the others had shown up.

Ren had just succeeded to open the lock to a storage room near the water and slipped inside. He looked around, trying to determine what kind of storage it was. He walked up to one of the drawers that stood next to a few rolls of barbed wire and opened it. It appeared to be tin cans in there. He opened one of his two backpacks and began to fill it.

When he had filled the half of the bag, someone suddenly put an iron pipe around his neck and pulled him away.

"Saki, how are you?" Mei asked and walked over to Saki who seemed to have begun to think dark thoughts again. "Saki, we can not stay here, we'll hide somewhere and talk?"

Ren had been forced down on the floor now, still with the iron pipe as a stranglehold over the throat. There was only one thing he could do, transform into Go-On-Blue, he had to become Go-On-Blue, or else he would die. He grabbed his Go-phone, and pulled it, but he droped Bus-On's soul when he tried to get it in place, he could barely breathe now.

Now his only hope was to get hold of the bus-on before it was too late. The last thing he saw before he passed out was how his fingers pushed it farther and farther away from him.
