Chapter 20.
Breaking Point.
The steam rose form the mug as Kai put his hands around it to warm his palms. Coffee; such an ordinary drink in such an unordinary situation.
His thoughts were plagued by the images which he faced only two hours ago. He couldn't explain the feelings which ran through him as he sat in the simple living room of Tala's house, empty now that the previous owner no longer needed it.
What had they done to him? Shivers ran down Kai's back when he began to fathom the sadistic images.
He was dizzy from all the overwhelming emotions he was experiencing. Too much to take in all at once. It hurt to even think about simple things which didn't seem simple any more. Everything became hard and too much of an overload for a person who was torn between a total nervous breakdown and a calm that raged within him like the silence before a storm.
No, calm like the eye of the storm, that's where he was in the centre of the tornado.
'Mr. Hiwatari?'-came a soft voice from behind him. He turned to face the team leader of the infiltration squad.
'What?'
'Mr. Hiwatari, you only have forty six hours remaining, aren't you going to-'
'NO!'-shouted Kai.-'No I will not search for him. I can't. And even if I do, what am I going to find? A heartless doll? Or a puppet impaled on a cross?'
The man stood shocked as a boy of fifteen had just taken on him, an adult in his late thirties whose profession was to annihilate people.
'Mr. Hiwatari, this isn't my place to judge but don't you owe at least that much to Rei Kon, your friend…'-he trailed off. There was no need for anymore words as the tears rolled down Kai's cheeks and fell to the ground.
'That clear-cut idea of what's right and wrong? What happens when all those ideals break down? Do I brake with them?'-he forced out, choking on the pain and humiliation.
'You brake' was the answer but no one dared say it. 'You bend' was the solution but it didn't always work.

Not the end.
