Haruka went to the bar, as she always does when she wants to get out or something. A couple of shots would do it she figured. After taking in a few drinks, she saw this girl aquamarine haired girl staring at her. She looks very familiar. After a few minutes of pondering, it clicked. Right, she saw this girl at the meeting, Tomoe's girl. I must admit she does look attractive when she is not wearing the bitchy type like the ones she first saw her in. She must have noticed that Haruka was looking at her too, for at that moment, she went up to her.

"Hi, I was wondering if you don't mind company "

"Not at all, especially ones like you."

"I guess they were right. You are pretty interesting."

"Maybe. And who are these people you are talking about?"

"You know them. The SM guys. I'm Michelle, Mich for short. You're Racer right?"

"That's what they call me. How did you get in the group anyway?"

"Had no money, my family practically sold me, I didn't have a choice. A nice guy like you should not be with those guys. They are ruthless and brutal."

"What makes you think I'm not one of them?" I replied, placing one of my hands on her leg and rubbing it up and down."

"When you're in this business long enough you'd know." Mich shook her head. "You don't belong in there, get out while you still can. Look at me, if I went to the cops right now, they'd have my neck"

"Maybe, but they have this witness protection programs right? "

"I don't know." She said, looking at me. Her eyes were conveying something to me. A thing that I could not decipher. She then bid me goodnight soon after.

"Somebody wants to meet you Tenoh san, a witness on our case."

"Send him over then."

It took quite sometime before someone came up. I was even more surprised to see who was standing in front of my desk.

"So this is what you do Raven." Mich said, with knowing smile. I felt myself turn pale at her words. Then I recomposed myself completely, hiding my shock.

"Don't worry Tenoh san, this is safe with me. You are the only one who could help me get out of this. We need to talk."

I did not say anything, and led her outside to my car. I knew there is only one place we could have complete privacy, my apartment.
