In the early hours of the morning, long before the sun hit the horizon, a dark figure creped into the Takenouchi's apartment complex. The figure walked silently to their door and found it unlocked. Upon entering he apartment the assailant went straight for Mrs. Takenouchi's room and knocked her over the head with the back of a gun. She was unconscious. Stealth fully the figure went to Sora's room. As he walked into the room he tripped on a soccer ball and fell to the ground with a thud. Sora woke up in an instant.
"Tai?" She said groggily "Is that you?" No one answered. She rolled out of bed still in her dress. "Who's there?"
Suddenly from behind her the figure covered her mouth and placed a gun to her head. Neither moved. Sora knew she had to do something quickly.
She violently kicked the man in the shins and ran for the door.
"BANG" the gun went off and a small bullet flung itself into her leg, above the knee. She instantly fell to the floor. Blood was all over. The figure forced her to her feet and into the living room. Once again Sora tried to escape by punching the person in the face. His nose began to bleed. It was still dark and Sora could not yet see the face of her attacker. But before she could cry out for help the man was on top of her and hit her with the butt of the gun. She blacked out soon after. The masked figure picked her up and walked with her in his arms outside the building. He set her in a car that was waiting in the parking lot.
Dawn finally broke and it was Saturday morning. Kari was watching TV when a news bulletin flashed across the screen.
"This Just in. It appears that there was a break in at the Hagasakia Apartment Complex early this morning. The police have very few details at this time. But we will keep you up to date as more info is given. Now back to your regularly scheduled program."
"Tai!" Kari screamed. She ran and woke him up. "Tai! Sora might be in trouble. Wake up." Once Tai heard the words 'Sora' and 'trouble' he sprang out of his bed.
"What happened?"
Kari told him about the news flash and Tai suddenly was rushing out their door and over to Sora's.
"You can't go in there." A police officer said. As he stopped Tai from entering the building. "It's a crime scene."
"But my friend, she might be in trouble."
Just then Tai saw Mrs. Takenouchi being wheeled out on a stretcher.
"Mrs. Takenouchi… what happened? Where's Sora?"
"Sora? Oh hi Taichi." Her voice was weak and hoarse.
"She is just waking up from a serious concussion. She Won't be able to remember anything for a while." The paramedic said.
"there was another person in the apartment. Is she ok?" Tai questioned.
"We only found this one." With that the paramedics jumped into the ambulance and were off.
Tai was desperate. He needed to get to Sora. He ran as fast as he could past the police barricades and up to Sora's apartment. There were a lot of people in there.
"Sora?" Tai yelled as he ran in the door.
"Son, how did you get in here?" Another cop asked, pulling Tai aside.
"Where's Sora?" Tai began to scream. He was on the verge of tears.
"Who?"
"Sora!"
"Oh you mean the child who lived here. Sora… so that's her name." The cop pulled out his notebook and began to write. "And who are you?"
"I'm.. her boyfriend." Tears began to gush out of his chocolate eyes.
"Calm down son, everything is going to be fine. Maybe you can help us."
"Anything sir."
"when did you last see her and what was she wearing?"
"I had just dropped her off. We went to a school dance. it was around 1am when I left, she fell asleep in her black dress."
"OK." The cop said trying to calm down Tai. He then pulled out his radio. "Put out an APB on a Sora Takenouchi. Age 18, wearing a black dress. Missing person."
"Roger chief." A voice replied. The words 'missing person' made Tai shutter.
"Son, do you think you could come down to the station and help us put together more details?"
"Like what? When will they find her? Whose blood is this? Sora!" he began to weep.
"easy, there sonny. We'll get her back to you- don't worry. We just need some info from you and possibly others who were with you."
Tai followed the cop out of the apartment and into a police car.
