Trigger warning: this chapter is about a kidnapping
Police are on the lookout for a suspect in a kidnapping case. An eye witness report states that the individual is a fair skinned male approximately 5 foot 9 with back length black hair. He is also said to wear red contacts in effort to hide his appearance. Anyone with information on this man is encouraged to come to the authorities immediately
Ayame put her car in park and pulled up the handbrakes, sighing deeply as she lay her head on the steering wheel. Friday. The end of a long day and an even longer week. Her shoulders though slumped were tense with stress and her legs were numb above the balls of her feet. It would be so easy to just pull out the hair clips from her bun, recline the seat and sleep in the car for a little while. She angled her head and scrutinized the house with a frown. Would that even be safe? She sighed as she reached for the clasps of her pumps to undo them.
Of course not you dummy. As much as the house might be unsettling, a car in this situation won't be any better
"Ugh, I gotta ask Kenshi to do something about these hours"
Grabbing her purse from the passenger side, she fumbled around for the house keys before shouldering her bag and shoes tightly. The street lights were already on and she didn't want to linger in the dark any longer. She exited the car and gingerly hightailed it to the front door, the cool earth against her toes melting away tension as she crossed her lawn. She inserted the key and turned, only for the lock to not budge
"Grrr since when does this thing give trouble? Of all the times-"
She apprehensively glanced around, taking a hard look at the hedges on either side of her; glossing over the dead strip that had been slowly growing in size all week. A glimmer in the roadway caught her eye; a car, parked in the gloom between two street lights
That looks like Ryu's car...is it?
In the dwindling light, her burning eyes couldn't tell what color it was or why it looked different but she brushed it off and tried the lock again. Watching a weird car from inside the house seemed much more sensible. She turned the key and there was an immediate click. A wave of relief washed over her as she rushed inside ready to close the door, only to be met with pitch black.
I...turned off the lights this morning?
Ayame shuffled inside feeling along the wall for the light switch
It was already on
Her heart began to race as her breathing picked up. Was this just a coincidence? She dropped her shoes and frantically dug around her bag for her cell phone to call the detective. Coincidence or not, it was creepy
"Darling"
The door slammed behind her, drowning out her squeal of surprise as her purse disappeared before her eyes. The thick curtains were fully drawn blocking out all light from outside
"You've been ignoring me." The voice seemed to float in the air like spider silk "All my texts and calls,why, your waste basket is even filled with my love letters."
The intruder snatched her purse out of her hand causing her to squeak. Large hands wrapped around her neck and tears began to stream down her face as her already heavy breathing turned to full blown hyperventilation. She could feel her erratic heartbeat in every part of her body and she desperately wished it ended up in a heart attack before things got worse.
"Are you scared of me my angel?" Hot breath fanned over her ear causing her to flinch "No matter, i'll teach you to love me. We'll run away together and have our happily ever after. Just you wait"
The hand slipped from around her neck and before she could move, white hot pain seared through her skull before she passed out. Her captor smiled as he pulled the zip ties out of his pocket. Once they got to their destination, no one would ever find them
Officials are also on the lookout for 31 year old Ayame Parkes. She is 5 foot 4, greened eyes, pale skin and red hair ending at mid back. She was last seen at around 5pm this afternoon. Anyone who sees this woman is to contact the police immediately
