Chapter 5: Military Disappearance
NEXT DAY.....
"Ban-chan, there are no more flyers" Ginji said "Good, here are more" Ban said handing Ginji a new stack of flyers "Ban-chan, what are we doing if we are already going to get paid today?" Ginji asked "You should now by now that once we retrieve something and ask for the payment, we usually get double-crossed, but this time we are prepared!" Ban answered "But Ban-chan, at this hour?" Ginji complained "Just do it!!" Ban shouted "You're still shouting?" Himiko asked "great" he said "Poison lady, Thread spool, needle man and monkey man are here, what a great day we are going to have" he added sarcastically.
As they went in the Honky Tonk, Ginji asked "What are you guys doing here anyway?" "We just wanted to drop by" Kazuki said "Just a question, Kazuki.... What were you and Kotoko talk about in your walk yesterday?" Ban asked with an evil grin "Nothing much..." but before Kazuki even finished his sentence, Uriko had burst into the Honky Tonk, gasping for breath.
Uriko had a cut on her cheek, a small rip on her sweater and a bruise on her knee. "What happened, Uriko?" Shido asked "They.....got.....them" Uriko said, gasping for breath "What are you talking about?" Jubei asked "Military.. got...my sister and friends.." Uriko gasped. They were just staring at her like she was crazy "Are you trying to tell us that the military got your sister and her friends?" Ban asked, Uriko nodded and gave a sigh of relief, finally someone understood her. "But how did you escape and the rest of them get captured?" Ginji asked and Uriko breathed in deeply and said "threatened"
Everyone was now confused "um... what do you mean by 'threatened'?" Ginji asked "Let's say if.... We didn't cooperate this place would have been blown to bits with all you guys in it" Uriko said plainly. It was like a missing piece of a puzzle just clunked into place in their heads. "So... if you were.... Supposed to cooperate... then....why are you here?" Ginji asked "My sister distracted them and told me to run to you guys" Uriko explained "Look, I know I can kick the military's butt single-handed but I need help in trying to save all of them" "So.... You want us to help you?" Ban asked "PLEEEEEEEEASE?" Uriko begged "Okay! We will help you!" Ginji said happily "Arigato!" Uriko said as she hugged Ginji "Fine.." Ban said in defeat.
"Do you think they brought they brought them back to that old building?" Kazuki asked "that's the only place they would take them from my guess" Jubei said "Then that's where we are going" Himiko said "Let's hurry" Uriko said as she dashed to the door.
4½ hours later...
"How can anyone survive this?" Himiko panted, Ginji collapsed (again), Ban, Kazuki, Jubei and Shido were out of breath but Uriko was happily jumping (like she had sugar rush) "Come on! It wasn't that far! And besides its good to stretch your legs" she said happily "easy for you to say" Shido muttered.
5 minutes of rest....
"Do you think they locked the door?" Himiko asked "Nope" Uriko said "And how do you know that?" Jubei asked "Because if the door was locked then the security cameras would be on, and if not, the cameras would be off".
Uriko was right... They soon spotted poorly hidden security cameras that were limping, no power was placed into them. As they went in, they noticed a small change, a dead bird (found in chapter 2) was found on the table.. Actually, they thought it was a bird "Um... What are they doing to that bird?" Himiko asked "We should be going..... now" Uriko said "Shall we turn right this time?" Kazuki asked "Yup" Uriko agreed.
As they went further down the corridor, they soon came across an intersection with 4 ways to choose from "Great, now how do we choose which way to go?" Shido asked "Oooh! Wait here, will be right back!" Uriko said and she soon turned back and ran at top speed "Wow....She can run that fast?" Ginji asked, no one had an answer.
2 minutes later..
"I am back!" Uriko said happily "Where have you been?" Shido asked "Reiji's cell" she answered "Who?" Himiko asked "He is also a zoanthrope but my big sister said that his ego takes over him more than his zoanthrope counterpart" she explained "and he also seemed to keep a die with him, I think he kept it as a an accessory"
"So.. By rolling it we can tell who goes which way... but how about the #s 5 & 6?" Himiko asked "It will be like #s 1 and 2" Uriko said "So one of us will be going alone.." Ban thought but got cut off by Uriko "Can we make this fast please?" she asked.
"Fine, fine.. I will go first" Ban said "OKAY! Here" Uriko said as she gave Ban the die. He rolled the die and the result was #.....3
"I'm next" Kazuki said, he rolled it and it was no.2
"I will go next" Himiko said as she picked up the die, she rolled it and it was no.5...
"Me next" Ginji said, he rolled the die and the result was no.1 "Does that mean me and Himiko-chan are using the 1st path?" he asked
"Yup" Shido answered when he picked up the die, rolled it and it was also no.3 "Great! I'm stuck with monkey man" Ban said "A bad day that just got worse" Shido thought
"My turn!" Uriko said happily, she rolled it and it was no.4 "looks like yhe numbers 1,2,3 will mean Jubei will go with Kazuki and 4,5,6 means he will go with Uriko" Ban said as he gave the die to Jubei who rolled it and the result....
Number 4....
"What number is it?" Junei asked "Number four" Kazuki said "So I am taking the 4th path with Uriko?" he asked "yup" Kazuki said....
"We better get going" Ban said "We meet here in an hour" "See you later, Ban-chan" Ginji said as he and Hmiko left "Let's go" Jubei said A shadoe appears from nowhere and begins to stalk Ban and Shido..
