17: The hunt for Akira / Pick meeeez up
" Start explaining!" keisuke
freaks out. " wow you're worked up.." Tetsuo jokes
helping Magumi to lie back on his bed. Tetsuo removes his cape
and lays it on a chair. He changes clothes, putting on baggy
pajama pants and a white muscle tank. " Listen, Keisuke, I'm
tired, Magumi is really tired, you're tired, AKira....is
tired?" Tetsuo walks into the bathroom and washes his face
and his hand, careful with the robotic arm and walks back into
the bedroom. " I'll take care of Magumi.You can go home
now." Tetsuo says. " ....DON'T TELL ME I'm DREAMING CUZ
I AIN'T!!!!!!!" Keisuke shouts. " YOU HAVE A FUCKN'
ROBOT ARM!!" He shouts. Tetsuo sighs. Akira continues to
watch as if it's interesting. " AKira....you can sleep in
the living room.." Tetsuo says. AKira walks next to Keisuke.
" WHhaaaaa are you doing?" Keisuke quickly walks into
the living room, with Akira following behind. Keisuke closes his
eyes and sighs.
Tetsuo lays next to Magumi and holds her. " I won't let
anything happen to you.." He whispers. She snuggles against
him gently. Tetsuo has a serene look on his face.
" We must retrieve Akira.." Old man says. " Doctor
you can't be willing--" She stops. " You'll be
assighned.." The old man says. " Why me?" She
asks, accidently blurting it out. " It's your job so do it
well." The old man hands her a farely large pistol, which
she slips into her jacket pocker. " Sir." She says.
" If you must shoot Akira, so be it." The old man says.
" Yes, sir." She leaves. " So now do you beleive
in Chiyoko's ability?" The Colonel asks. " HA!"
The old man puffs his cigarette. " You'll never learn untill
someone kills you.." The colonel says. " So be
it." Old man starts, " But with or without Akira, 41's
head trouble isn't going to go away without his
medication.." He grins evily. " Are you saying he'll
come back?" Asks the Colonel angrily. " IN time...in
time.." He chuckles.

" What are we going to do?" A
woman in a dark suit, with long auburn hair asks a man, about six
feet with dark hair. " Ryu...wake up you fool!" Th eman
shakes the sleeping hungover man on the park bench. "
What?" The man barely opens his squinty eyes. "
Oh..jus' go away..." Ryu pulls his over coat over himself
and rolls over. "RYYUU!!!" The woman slaps his face
angrily. Ryu sits up. " Remember we're part of the
anti-project resistance group, even if you and Kay aren't
romanticly involved..got that?" The woman snaps. Ryu stand
up. " You know..?" He asks. " It dosne't
matter...Tetsuo Shima, an escaped project, had Akira and his
whereabouts are unknown." The man says. " W--what??! He
has Akira?!" He stammers. " Now pull yourself together
and come with us..." The woman says softly. "
Right.." Ryu nods, shrugging off his hangover the best he
can.
Miss Gena holds a small device in her hand with a flashing light.
" Good thing Akira had a tracking device installed on
him.." She thinks. She is driving down town in her car.
" Long ways to go.." She yawns and flips on the radio
to a late night AM program. ( That will really keep her awake.
^.^ ; )
Keisuke tries to sleep. He is on the floor,
Akira had the couch. Akira is still staring at him. " Will
you stop please?!" Keisuke asks. " Hey.... where is
Yamagata?" He thinks suddenly out of the blue. Akira stares
at the ceiling.
Yamagata stummbles out of the bar, drunk. " HEZZZZ
everybodies!!!" he tries to climb on his bike but falls off.
" Oh boyz, i betteerrrr callz Kei!!! hahahaaaaaaa" He
finds a payphone and shoves in 5 yen. ( wayyyy over what it is to
make a call far as i know )
RIIINNNNNGGGGG RRRIIINNNNNGGGGGggggGGGGGg
Keisuke gets up and picks up the reciever. " Hello?" He
answers. " Keisuke? Issss that yyoooozzzzzzzzz?" A
voice asks. " Yamagata? Where are you?" He asks. "
I'm at the bar shtill...can youz come and pickss meee up?"
Yamagata laughs. " YEah ...stay there I'm on my way."
Keisuke begins to walk off, but someone tugs on his sleeve.
" Hm?" It's AKira. " You wanna come along?"
Keisuke asks, and hands him a helmet. They leave the house and
climb on the bike. Akira holds Keisuke tightly. " Now hold
on.." Keisuke instructs, and their off.
In no time Keisuke arrives. Yamagata is barfing his brains out. ( Well..not litterly..) " C'mon buddy...." Keisuke hops off his bike and pats Yamagata's back. " You brought a kid? Where will I sit?" Yamagata slurs, whiping his mouth. Keisuke slaps his forhead. " What was I thinking?" Keisuke groans. Akira walks over to Yama's bike and hops on it, starts it and drives it over to the shocked duo. " You can drive?!" Keisuke asks, amazed. " Problem solved!" He smiles. Akira nods and grins. Kei and Yama ride together with Akira following behind. But they have company.
" THERE YOU ARE!" Miss Gena rolls down her window and begins to fire her gun at AKira. Kei looks back. " OH SHIT! RIDE AWAY KID!!" He shouts. AKira passses them with the car hovering close to Kei and Yama. " Hey Yama, jump into her window. I don't think she'll fire at us." Kei says. " OKaz.." without a second thought Yamagata leaps through the air, right through the window on MIss Gena's lap, making her shoot herself in the arm and spin the car out of control into the shoulder of the road. Yamagata leaves unscratched and hops back on Kei's bike and they leave Miss Gena in the dust. " Dammit!" She shouts, reaching for her tracking device. It's gone. " What----?!"
Yamagata plays with a small black box with white knobs and a flashing light. " Lookkiieee Kei, a new video game!HAHAHAHA!!!" He laughs.
