Hitomi woke up in a pitch black room. She was lying on a bed of some kind. The only light came through the window, which lacked glass. Below her Hitomi took notice of a large fragment of the glass at her feet. At first it seemed she was alone, but as she scanned the room again she noticed the outlines of two figures. One Hitomi identified as the one from the park.
" You're awake," said the one from the park. Hitomi knew it was a she from the voice.
" Obviously," answered Hitomi she wasn't in the mood for this, " What do you want and where am I?," her tone was far from polite.
" If you'd calm down we'd tell you. . . ." started the other male figure.
" No, I don't want to calm down!" yelled Hitomi.
" Look! If you don't shut up right now. . . ," the female threatened as she came over in front of Hitomi.
" What?! If I don't shut up, which I'm not, what?!" Hitomi grabbed the shard of glass and swung at the woman's face.
Caught off guard the woman pulled back to avoid the swing, but the tip cut across her left cheek. Hitomi swung again, but this time the woman was expecting it and easily dodged. At the same time her arm came up lightning fast and gripped Hitomi's firmly. Then took the weapon from her hand like an adult would take something away from a child.
" Now if you would just listen to me for a second. . . ." she started, but Hitomi was now fuming.
" Right now I don't care," was all Hitomi said.
" If you're going to act like this we'll have to tie you down," she stated flatly.
"If you don't you're not going to get a moment of peace!" yelled Hitomi
" Somehow I believe her," said the male sarcastically. Hitomi had forgotten about him.
Hitomi fought as hard as she could as the two tied her up and then to the bed, but in the end there was no use.
" You might as well get some sleep, we'll be somewhere else tomorrow," said the male as he and the other left Hitomi to her thoughts.
For what felt like hours Hitomi sat there looking out the window. Fighting sleep, but eventually it came over her and she closed her eyes silently.

Yukari sat in her kitchen with a hot cup of coffee. She had come home from her date to find the door to the apartment open and Hitomi missing. She had sat up all night waiting for her, but so far there was no sign of her. The police had combed the place for any evidence, but fond nothing. Jake Miller had come over a little later and made the coffee and talked with her trying to calm her nerves.
' He really is very sweet," thought Yukari.
At that moment a knock on the door caused Yukari to jump. She ran to the door praying that it was Hitomi, but instead she found Alex there.
" Oh, uh. . . Konichi wa," said Yukari lamely, " you must be Alex."
Alex nodded, " and you must be Yukari," she answered. Now it was Yukari's turn to nod. " I heard about Hitomi, I came over to see if you were all right."
" Yeah I'm fine," said Yukari as she gestured for Alex to come in.
" And that's why it's nearly noon and you're still in your clothes from last night, and haven't had anything, but coffee since yesterday," said Alex sarcastically.
Yukari laughed a little, " Am I really that obvious?" Alex gave her a look that said, ' Have you looked in the mirror?'
" I tell you what, you get washed up and I'll cook you some lunch," offered Alex.
" Thanks," said Yukari appreciatively as she headed toward the shower. A while later She came out in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt with her hair wrapped in a towl , " Mmmmm, smells delicious," commented Yukari as she entered the kitchen.
" Go ahead and sit down," Alex said as she ushered Yukari to the dining room. Then walked back into the kitchen to fill a plate for Yukari.
Alex set a plate with beef tips, noodles and brown gravy, in front of Yukari. Yukari dug in immediately. Yukari sat up as she slurped up a noodle she asked, " What's this recipe?"
" Smothered steak," said Alex simply, as she turned to leave, " The rest is on the stove," she called over her shoulder.
" Aren't you going to have some?" asked Yukari.
" No, I got things to do," she answered from the doorway.
" K, one more question?" asked Yukari as she stuffed another fork full in her mouth.
" Yeah?"
" How did you get the cut on your cheek?"
And what are you going to do right now? That's right respond!
