~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~~~

-----12:10 pm----

"Ryo wake up. We have to go."Takato woke him."We'll go to Mr.Jaketchi while the others stay and watch over the house."

Ryo got up and dressed.

"Do you think he suspects anything?"He asked as they madetheir way to the building.

"Not really, we didn't give out any signs that we were there."

"Kenta once ran in front of the camera before going behind it."

"Luckily it was nightime then."

Takato opened the door for them.

"Hello. How is the taping going?"

"Boring. Nothing is going to happen unless we acutally go there and get her."Ryo answered.

"I don't know if we can do it if all we have is a front door watch over."

"What Ryo meant to say was; Taping is over with so lets go in and get her."Takato said.

"I need more time. I can't do anything without much evidence."

"Well, I'm going to do something. Authorized or not."Ryo left. Takato followed and Jaketchi reviewed their tape.

~~~~~~~Kazu~~~~~~~~~~

Kazu looked inside the house. One shadow was standing in her room. The other was held up in mid air.

"That's Rika isn't it?" Jeri sat with him.

"Ya. Did Takato and Ryo come back yet?"

"No."

"Is Kenta awake?"

"I guess."Jeri took out the talkie."He hasn't said anything yet."

"Try to contact him. For like his status or something."

"Kenta. Are you there?"

"Ya, what's up?"

"What did you get so far?"

"That he has no thoughts for curtains in his house except for the rooms."

"Why, what can you see?"

"Funiture. A door...the kitchen?"

"Wait, a door near the front one?"Kenta took out a picture."The floor map doesn't show there is one."

"Ya, but it says here that he added a room a week ago."Jeri check another pile.

"He just ran out of space I guess. Oh ya! I always see Ms.Nonaka go by, but doesn't do anything. SHe doesn't even stop. She just wants to make sure her ex-husband is there I guess."Kenta remembered."Do you think she's planning anything?"

"Jaketchi won't do anything. He needs more."Ryo entered.

"More what? Common sense?"Kazu asked.

"More footage proof." Takato closed the door.

"She's here."Kenta announced.

"Who?"Ryo approached the window.

"Rika's mom."Kazu checked the window. Ryo looked with him.

"Want me to get her?"Kenta offered.

"When she rounds near the corner just watch if someone might see her. Ryo call Henry and tell him to pick her up on the way back home."Takato answered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Jaketchi~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-------2:30pm---------

He took the tape out of the VCR.

"Hello, Ms. Nonaka?" He called her cell."Maybe it's time we stopped sitting."

"Do what?"

"Get her out. But I'll need help."

"From who?"

"I guess the people who want to help her as much as you and I do. Her friends."

~~~~~~~~Henry~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ms. Makino?"

"Yes? Hi Henry."

"I have a favor to ask."

"Um...ok."

"Follow me."

Kenta was the lookout in case Mr. Makino came out.

"Walk the other corner. His car is pulling out."He warned. Henry led her to the other side of the street.

"Mr. Jaketchi just called me."Ms.Makino said as they walked.

"He wants more proof. That's why we can't do anything."Henry pocketed his hand."That's going to take a while."

"He told me that he is going to do something, but he needs your help."

"That's a change."Henry opened the door."What else did he say?"

"That he was wondering if you would help. So would you?"

"Yes."Takato greeted."

"Did Ja- Mr. Jaketchi say when?"Jeri asked.

"No, but I could call him back."

~~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~

'One more day to end this.'She rested.'No signs of them helping.'

The sunlight hit her eyes and her room.

'Mom is probabaly out looking here by now.'She said.'Wonder what she's doing now. Is Ryo trying to get me out?'

~~~~~~~~~~~Jeri~~~~~~~~~~

"Did you get anything yet?"Kenta bugged.

"Not yet. Just do what you're supposd to."Henry clicked on Kenta's computer.

"Be patient. It's not like Henry's taking loing in the bathroom."Jeri sat on his bed."Ryo took his shift just so Henry can get more on Rika's dad."

"Well I'll take my shift for bed. Wake me up if anything happens."

"Do you think it's too late to help her?"Jeri wondered.

"No. Rika's in there taking whatever her dad throws at her. It doesn't seem like her dad would bury her soon since Ryo's been keeping a close watch."Henry began printing something."Did Ms. Makino say anything to you?"

"No, just that she's worried and it was all her fault."

"Hmmm......."

~~~~~~~~~~Jaketchi~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I just have to get a permit so I can get him without being sued."

"How long will that take?"Ryo asked while he kept watch.

"I can't get clearance until tomorrow morning."

"I'll tell Ms.Nonaka."Ryo said.

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

'Henry had to take the alley instead of the house.'Ryo sat down.'At least now I know Rika is coming back. Hopefully alive.

-------------Day 4 9:03 am--------------

'Today is the last day.'
