Unknown 9:30pm: Get off the elevator at the 70th floor by yourself and leave Nagisa to go up alone. We have cameras and will know if you get off on that floor. If you do not follow this request we will kill the girl and Nagisa, however if you do follow them will let the girl go and will not harm Nagisa in anyway.
The choice is yours of course.

I grit my teeth remembering that damn text and Nagisa's pained expression as I left him...left him alone to do this all on his own...I hope he's alright and I hope he took what I said to heart. I want so badly to just run after him and make sure he's safe but...As someone who cares about him I'd run after him but as their teacher I have to do the right thing and let him go alone. I can't risk endangering Nakamura or him for that matter….I don't trust those bastards but I don't think I have a choice at this point.
I walked down the hallway and this floor was strangely dimmer than the others the carpet was old and moldy and the pain on the walls were peeling off. I think this floor is off limits which is probably why they wanted me to stop at this floor.
Suddenly I froze hearing heavy sobbing...it made me uneasy however I went further into the darkness if anything to distract my growing concerns about Nagisa and the urge to run back into that elevator and join him in this fight. As I approached closer I could see a girl in the corner huddled up against the decaying wall, her hair was long and a dark purple and when she turned around to look at me I recognize those gentle violet eyes.
Tears streamed down her face as she rose and I realized her uniform was tattered and torn as if she'd been here awhile without warning she gave me a tight hug to which I didn't return. "Mr. Akabane I'm so glad you're here! I've been here for weeks...you don't know how happy I am to see a familiar face." Okuda...how did she get here? Was she kidnapped to...this is all my fault I wasn't watching over my students close enough I should have taken more care in their well being.
"Since you're here...I wanted to tell you something," it was then I saw her cheeks grow red in the dark, "Mr. Akabane I love you!" and I was taken aback by that abrupt confession, this not the time nor the place for that. It just felt so...weird as if it came out of nowhere and the confession itself was so...empty.
I scratched the back of my neck still having Nagisa on my mind even in this situation. "Um, Okuda I'm flattered...really but, I'm sorry there's...someone else I like."
She stared at me...without a word….she didn't reply when I called her name she just stared and those gentle violet eyes grew twisted and dark and it was then I felt my heart drop into the pit of my stomach….
No….no this is wrong….she-AGH!
The sharp pain pierced my neck and I felt myself collapse to the door gritting my teeth holding my neck where the needle had been injected...she did something...what did you do?! I struggled to stand up but only got as far as being on my knees to gripping my neck ...damn! The pain was so strong..it felt like my entire body was on fire and my neck was numb I could barely hear Okuda's voice in my ear as she walked towards me now appearing perfectly fine.
She gradually crouched down grabbing a tuff of my red hair and yanking my head up before giving an evil sadistic smile while looking into my eyes.
"Oh...you made my heart flutter….you made it fly….but then…." She spoke her head tilting to the side eyes so wide they appeared as if they where bulging out from their sockets. "You had to go and BREAK my heart...I was going to save you...spare you...I really was...but you just had to go and ruin your only-excuse me-last chance at saving yourself and that little pest of a brat.."
Nagisa…..Nagisa! I struggled against the pain turning my head towards the elevator that seemed so far away now I reached my hand forward desperately…
..No...NO I NEED TO SAVE HIM!
"Tsk...Tsk...Tsk…." Okuda's voice echoed like a ghost behind me before her head pushed into my back sending me back down against the old carpet. Normally I'd be able to fight her off easily but whatever she injected into me...it weakened me..hell I can't even stand! How am I going to get out of this ..."Don't worry...I only gave me a small dose of my own blend of poison...this much should only make you pass out soon before waking up again. The big guy wanted to kill you himself.." She paused crouching down to my level and grabbing my cheek playfully it made me sick-I wanted to vomit!
"I didn't want my whittle Karma to get hurt...but since you won't accept me I guess I'll have to give them want they want…" I glared at her, a cold dead glare, "Oh don't look at me like that...you brought this upon yourself,"
"What do they want from me." I didn't let up on that deathly look I wished looks could kill right now because that would be helpful. She grinned insanity spread across her face..
She's fucking crazy….
"Why…..only your death...However, before I let them have their way." She paused pushing me onto my back causing the pain to heighten and she climbed on top of me making me feel uneasy. She looked down at me unbuttoning the top two buttons of her shirt before whispering in my ear,
"I'm going to have my way with you first." NO! NO NO NO! NO I don't want this get off of me! She reached forward starting to unzip my jacket and I tried to struggle under her grip but I was helpless….I couldn't move….
I'm sorry…..Nagisa….
She toppled over on the ground suddenly before I glanced over, what the fuck was she doing?! I realized then she was unconscious and noticed the large bump swelling on the back of her head. But...who….
"The first thing I taught you was always keep your guard up. I'm only gone for a day and you're already slacking off." My heart jumped again recognizing that voice ...no….no it can't be…
I was suddenly lifted to my feet by a strong hand gripping my arm before I sat down in a chair and injected with something else...I glanced up at the pair of eyes and felt tears streamed down my face….
"Your…..your alive…" He smiled at me and nodded.
Grip….he...he's alive….he's really here...he's really here-wait what is he injecting into me...
"I'm not done living yet kid."
"B-but how...how you how are you alive." I questioned I waned answers unless he's a damn god.
"I took a hella lot of bullets but I managed to break their necks before they managed to kill me. I got to the hospital and got patched up, they said if I had gotten there a second sooner I'd be dead. But death isn't taking my ass not today,"
I glanced at my arm...I had regained control of my body before he pulled the needle out, I looked at him in the dark raising my eyebrow. "The hell you inject me with?"
"The crazy girls andaoit found it on her when I knocked it out. Now, are we gonna sit here chit chatting or go save your little boyfriend." I blushed and nodded agreeing,
"Yeah, let's go get him and his friend back."

Karma….he left me...I can't believe this...how am I supposed to face them alone how-No, I have to be strong...I need to get Nakamura back I can't turn around when I'm this close I have to save her she's been there for me so many times so I have to be strong...for her….for Karma..
For myself..
I gripped the pistole in my hand trying to calm down and held it at my side. When the elevator finally dinged my heart sunk into the pit of my stomach and fear crawled up my spine sending chills across my skin making me shake a little…
"Listen to me, they're expecting a high schooler to come for Nakamura, a small scared and weak child. But you are none of those things, you were born to be an assassin so from this point on think line one. Think like one as you rescue Nakamura don't be a normal person because that's what they are expecting. Be strong, be brave…be an assassin."
No….No I'm fine...I'm fine...I can do this...I'm an assassin and…
I'll kill my teacher and save my friend.
The doors opened gradually and revealed a hall, not what I was expecting...it was a long narrow hallway and I was highly curious as I stepped out of the elevator and noticed something almost immediately, all the doors where missing...the empty hall beckoned me to go down it...with no where else to go..I did.
As I walked further down the hall I kept the gun tightly against my side but walked with confidence with my head high and shoulders back ready to take on whatever waiting for me even if I was scared, I was going to be brave.
Bravery didn't mean you weren't scared, it just meant you were strong enough to face the things
You feared.
I finally came to the end of the long hallway and found myself at a large white door, I pressed my ear to it listening for something-anything from the inside.
I heard muffled sounds and talking, it sounded like a man speaking with a gruff voice.
"She isn't back...I swear to god if she let him go I'll sever her head from her shoulders and hang it on my wall!" A hasterical laugh let out from this man and made me anxious...he sounded insane...that made me not want to go in there even more….but then I heard something else.
"Ah, don't worry little girl…..he'll be here soon." And a ripping sound before a yelped came through the door...tape being ripped off someone's mouth?
"Your not gonna get away with this! I'd rather die than be held hostage to you crazy people!" That was Nakamura's voice no doubt about…
There was a click and my heart froze…
"That can be arranged…."
"NO!" I yelled kicking the door down without thinking and found myself holding the pistol to the crazed man, Nakamura was tied up in a char her legs and arms secured by rope and the crazy man she was talking to….he was very large his hair messy and shaggy but his wide eyes showed red from the corners of them and his pupils where large and he wore a grin that defined he was insane as the pistole was aimed at Nakamura's frightened face.
"N-Nagisa d-"
"SHUT UP!" The man yelled pushing the gun against her head...Nakamura...Nakamura no…what...what do I do...what do I do..
"Nagisa."
That voice…..I...I know that voice…
I looked to the right of me...my father...was standing there….
...aiming a rifle at me….
"D-dad…" My voice came out broken and more afraid then I wanted it to…
"Put the gun down son. Now…"
