Chapter 4

I must have slept several hours, cause when I woke up again it was already dark outside,

and I felt a cold breeze, when I looked to the window I fast realized where it came from….

It was open, I guessed that Riku had opened it, to let some fresh air into the room.

I stood up carefully and sneaked to the window…

I don't know exactly why I sneaked, but I had that strange feeling…..

When I touched the window, I felt that somebody was watching me…

Though I knew that this person stood directly behind me, I had not enough courage to turn around and look who it was. The same moment I thought about what to do now, the person started to talk with a cold and malicious voice.

Mister Niwa…I've been waiting for you to wake up, such a sleepy guy.

Hey! Why does this voice sounds so familiar to me….?

I am here to put a suggestion to you. Think it through before you reject it!

The person, stood still behind me. I suggested him to be a man, without any questions he was!

His voice so dark and threatening… I estimated that he was around 30 Years old.

Definitely he had no children, it was also improbable that he was married or even coupled…Mhhh maybe around 1,80m high…shoe size….40 or maybe even 41…

You wonder how I could examine all these facts without seeing him?

Hehe, that's my job-secret!

Well Mr Niwa… I felt him moving, he walked around behind my back, but he could not been nervous, could he?

If you should reject my offer, forget this meeting and everything will be fine.

I didn't dare to ask him about the consequences that might follow, if I tell anyone about this here…I gulped, hoping that Riku would stay away till this man was gone… and waited for him to continue.

Listen, I want you to work for me. Of course it's no ordinary job every fool could do!

It's about…taking back some things that are of great value for me…

Oh yeah, everything was clear now! He wanted me to steel for him!

What an idiot! Why the hell does he believe that I am the right one for this job?

Maybe you're thinking about the reason why I choose you for that job?

He laughed, what en evil laugh….

Easily answered my dear Niwa! Cause you are the very best for that business!

My throat was totally dry, nevertheless I asked the question which  I was afraid of hearing the answer.

Wh-why did you choose me? I am an ordinary detective(very clever Niwa! how could you tell him about being a detective???) and I do not have special knowledge about …..(how could I formulate it without hurting his feeling…?)…about stealing.(okay, that was definitely not a good paraphrasing for that activity…).

Again he laughed at me, his malicious laugh…

Oh Niwa, you know the answer on your on, don't you? If not I must have greatly overestimated you!

And I did knew the answer on my own! But how could he know it? Except me, my mom and Dad no one knew about my earlier activities….as…….Dark…..

Now, I see you understand it….you may be out of training, but that's no problem at all, I'll give you everything you need for your...businesses. Well, what do you think?

Okay, keep cool Niwa!!! He is much taller than you, and I suggest he is even much stronger, so running away would be senseless, or even trying to knock him down would be absolutely  stupid! Okay, there were only two choices left: Either consenting to his proposal or rejecting it…When I thought it through….I needed some money, and as he said I would get all the equipment needed for the jobs from him. So, seems to be no problem at all, right? Wrong!

Cause how should I explain my new "job" to Riku? I told her that I got a job as a detective again and not the opposite….Ah, who cares anyway? I wanted that job, offered by the mysterious man!

Okay, Mister…..whatever(had he already mentioned his name???), I accept your offer, under one condition:

I need to get guaranteed, that Riku, my girlfriend is safe, in case I get caught(was it really that clever to mention Riku???).

I starred at the window waiting for a response from this Mister mysterious….

That goes without saying. You'll get informed about the businesses and the places.

Now I took all my courage and turned around, but all I could see was…..nothing!

He was gone?! So fast?? He must have been a ghost….

I shivered, and went back into my bed, and though it was still warm, I felt colder than ever in my life…

When I woke up again it was still dark outside, I looked at my watch and it was already

6:30am….Oh….The talk with the man seemed so unreal to me, I had the feeling that it was just….a dream…Maybe it was one.

I looked out of the window searching for people walking on the street, cause usually the streets are pretty crowded at this time……

But I couldn't see anyone…strange…I twinkled…I could swear that there was something …

First it looked like a huge bird but when I had a closer look at it…it was a person!

Standing on the roof of a skyscraper! As fast as possible I opened the window and climbed upon the window-sill. What the hell am I doing here?

 Now I stood on the very narrow window-sill, and I had the feeling that there was someone else who forced me to do such dumb..

I thought about the height of the hospital, and all in all it had 25 floors!!!!

And I was on floor….20….fantastic…what now?

I couldn't move a bit for two reasons:

First, I was so scared of falling down, though I knew that I wouldn't feel the impact at all….

I wondered how I might look like if I fall from the 20th floor down to the ground….

I was pretty sure that I would look like a stamp or a piece of mud…

Oh yeah, and the second reason for my paralysis was, that I simply could not move!

It must have been a higher might, playing with me like with a string-puppet…

The same moment I ended that thought I jumped down! I don't know why!!

No person being a bit responsible and having only a bit IQ wouldn't do such shit!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

I screamed my head off. But nothing happened, logically…

But when I arrived the 10th floor suddenly the fall stopped, I wondered why and looked around, and directly behind me I saw great wings!!!!!

But when I looked around further I couldn't find a bird or something like that…these wings, they were….they were mine!!!

[Yeah, yeah seem to be as crazy as the last chapter ^-^ but I always get new strange ideasJ]
