Haruka reached Sarah's house and brought her car to a stop. She got out, checked her Colt Executive and walked over to the front door. After two impatient rings, the door opened and Haruka found herself face to face with Sarah. "Hi." The former assassin said coldly. "Hi Haruka." Sarah answered, an evil grin on her face. "You want to come in?" "No, thanks. I prefer standing outside." Haruka answered, pulling her gun. "I'm here to finish this story, Sarah." Sarah just grinned. "You won't kill me, Haruka. After all, I'm your secretary. You trust me. And it won't be good if the police director kills someone, would it?" Haruka snarled and slacked her gun, aiming at Sarah. Suddenly something heavy hit her on the back of her head, and the world went black. The last thing Haruka saw before she fell on the cold street beneath her was Sarahs evil grin.

The same time, Michiru was raising the telephone bill by calling everyone in El Paso she knew. She informed everyone about the events that had taken place, but left out the fact Haruka really was a Mafioso. Instead, she predicated that Sarah was completely wrong and tried to kill the false person. "We'll go to Sarahs house and help Haruka!" Mayor Biggs informed Michiru, as did all the other people who had been alarmed by the aqua haired woman. "Let's meet at the market place." Harry suggested. "Okay." Michiru agreed. "I'll be right there." She hung up the phone, put on her coat and took the second gun Haruka kept in the house with her.

When Haruka awoke, her head hurt like hell. She opened her eyes only to find herself locked up in a dark room. The gray haired groaned and sat up, rubbing her pounding head in the process, and looked around. "Are you awake?" A deep voice suddenly asked. Haruka flinched and turned around, to see a huge brute sitting comfortable on a chair. "Who are you, and what do you want?" Haruka asked fiercely. "You're not here to ask questions." The man answered, standing up. "You're here to suffer." And with that, he landed a hard kick into Harukas abdomen. She fell to her knees in pain, gasping for air. The man laughed when the door opened and Sarah came walking in. "Oh, I see you already greeted our guest." The traitorous woman stated while looking at the moaning Haruka. She walked over to her captive, grabbed a fistful of gray hair and pulled Harukas head back, forcing her to look up at her. "You're getting old, Tenoh." Sarah taunted before smashing her fist into Harukas face. The gray haired woman's nose broke with a sickening crack, and blood spouted from her nostrils. Haruka moaned in pain, but refused to cry out. She didn't want to give Sarah the satisfaction to hear her scream. Sarah of course noticed this, and with a wicked grin she walked over to the wall and grabbed a thick leather whip that hung there. The woman returned to Haruka and stroke out. This time, Haruka screamed.

Sarah's attention was drown from the torture when she heard yelling outside. She dropped the bloody whip, ordered her beatnik to watch Haruka – something that was highly unnecessary, since Haruka could barely move – and made her way to the door. When Sarah opened, she found the whole town standing in her front garden. Michiru stepped out of the crowd and yelled: "Let Haruka go!" Sarah growled and shouted back: "No! She's mine! And she will die for what she did!" "She didn't do anything to you!" Mayor Biggs pointed out. Sarah decided not to answer this, but slammed the door shut and locked it. "Dammit!" Mayor Biggs howled in pure anger. "We have to get in there!" "I'll break the door down." A deep, rough voice came from the crowd. Michiru turned around to face – a chest. She looked up and saw Volt Krueger in front of her, the bouncer of the local bar. (A/N: I bought a PlayStation 2 ™ last week, and Squaresofts ™ game "The Bouncer™". Volt Krueger ™ rules!) "Please, do that, Volt." The aqua haired woman smiled. Volt returned the smile, his numerous piercings glistening in the sunlight, and walked over to the door. After a strong kick, the door broke down, and Sarahs cursing could be heard. Michiru chose four people from the crowd who should help her to get Haruka out. "Volt, you come with me. Mayor Biggs, you too. Johnny shall come, and Harold." The four men nodded, and Michiru readied her gun. "Let's get Haruka out of this mess." She ordered, and the five people entered the house.

"Welcome." Sarah grinned when the group reached the room where Haruka was held captive. Michiru almost fainted at the sight of her husband. Haruka laid on the floor, nearly unconscious, long, bloody whip streaks on her back. "Haruka!" Michiru called out in shock. Next to her, Volt rose his fists and approached the huge guy who was supposed to watch Haruka. "Come here, punk." The man taunted. Volt snarled and jumped at him, kicking him square in the face with both legs. The man was sent flying against the wall and fell down unconscious. "You are defeated!" The mayor informed Sarah grinning. "Oh no, I'm not." Sarah answered and aimed her gun at Haruka. "Come on, Haruka. Tell them the truth. Tell them that you were a Mafioso."  Haruka got to her hands and knees in obvious pain and looked up at the people that stood there, staring. Michiru wanted nothing more then hold her in her arms now, but she was afraid that Sarah could shoot if she moved over to her love and stayed where she was. "She's…right." Haruka now said. "I was a Mafioso back in Japan." Shocked gasps emerged from the four people, and Michiru lowered her eyes. "This can't be true!" Johnny, the barkeeper, hollered. "Alexander…or Haruka? However, Alex is one of the most honest people I know!" Sarah just laughed and raised her gun. "Now that you all know the truth, I'm sure you won't mind if I kill her." Her finger lowered itself down on the trigger, and the last thing Haruka heard before the shot rang was Michirus scream. "NOOO!"
