...Case IIb: The Fall of Judas…
...Team One: Imperial Hotel, 2:58pm ...
"This stinks! I want to wear something else!" Ban exclaimed. He looks at the big mirror and sees his reflection. His hair is not in its usual style instead it is neatly brush back. He is wearing a black suit like those clothes that bodyguards wear. "Hey are you listening or you're dead in there? I don't like these stinky clothes!"
"Are you a gay?" Ban heard Ayorih ask from one of the bathroom cubicle. They are inside the lady's cubicle on the sixth floor.
"I'm not a homosexual like you!"
"I'm sure I'm not a homosexual but I don't know with you." Said Ayorih chuckling.
"Somebody cross-dressing is homosexual to me. Like somebody I know…"
"Somebody who complains too much is homosexual to me. Like somebody I know who whines like a girl…" Ayorih came out from the cubicle and looks at Ban from head to toe. "I think a dress would look great on you!" She looks closely at Ban's hair. "Wow! Nice hair. I'm sure if an insect lands there it'll slip and die." She laughs while Ban glare at her.
"Shut up! You said to use the gel that you gave to me and I did!"
"I didn't say put everything in your hair."
"Just shut up! Why aren't you wearing his clothes?" Ban asked as he looks at Ayorih. 'Wow. I'm sure I won't recognize her if I don't know it's her.' She is wearing a black suit identical with Ban's. Her long hair is hidden with a black wig that she wore the first time he and Ginji met her. Again she looks like the arrogant and bossy guy that he met at the train.
"Stop complaining and just finish dressing up." Ayorih said. She follows Ban's gaze.
"PAK"
"What did you do that for?" Ban asks touching the part of his head where Ayorih whack him with a shoe that she quickly wear after using it as a whacking device.
"The next time you stare at my breast I'll slice your head off." Ban felt his self blush but quickly shake it off.
"I didn't mean to stare I was just wondering..."
"Wondering at what?" Ayorih asked. She leans against the wall while she hides her black gun to her left leg and the white one to the right.
"What happened to your breast?" Ayorih almost slip to the floor at Ban's nonchalant question. "Before you went inside the cubicle you have your breast and now it's gone. Are they removable? Are…"
"PAK!"
"PERVERT!" Ayorih exclaimed and she quickly leaves with the door slamming behind her. Ban was left inside the comfort room lying on the floor with an aching head.
"Damn! She hits like a man. I think her hand is more powerful than mine." Ban utters as he stands up. "She's really fun to tease." He laughed when he remember her very flushed face just a minute ago. The ringing of his cell phone soon interrupts his laughter.
"GET YOUR ASS AT THE PARKING LOT! MOVE IT PINEAPPLE HEAD!" Ban heard Ayorih's earsplitting voice followed by a loud click then the other end was silent.
"She didn't have to yell. Stupid lesbian..." Ban checks the two unconscious men on the last cubicle. Ayorih had used her gun on them so now they are fast asleep and tied up. One was fully dressed while the other one was almost naked. "Man you stink." Ban said. He got his black suit from him. He then left the comfort room and after closing the door he hangs the signboard on the door.
"OUT OF ORDER"
"Let's get this on." Ban replaces his violet shades with a black one like what Ayorih is wearing, like what the other bodyguards are wearing. He walks towards the elevator and proceeded to the parking lot. He went to the far right part of the parking lot and spotted the brick red Mercedez Benz. He leans against the car as he recalls Himiko and Ayorih's conversation this morning. 'Whom are they talking about?' Ban thought. It didn't take too long when he hears footsteps approaching him and saw Mr. Switzer with his real bodyguard and Ayorih who really look like a man. The real bodyguard opens the door for Mr. Switzer.
"Thank you William." Mr. Switzer said then William went inside as well. William Spence is five ten with short reddish-brown hair and well built body. As Ban watches him he can say that he is the same age as their client and he doesn't look bad either. Ayorih sits on the passenger seat beside Ban who was on the driver's seat. Ban starts the engine and then step on the pedal. After fifteen minutes they're on the road. Long silence surrounds them. At exactly three thirty five they were at Honky Tonk. Ayorih went out of the car and open the door for Mr. Switzer.
"Wait here." Mr. Switzer said. He walks towards the café followed by Spence. Ban and Ayorih are left outside. When Ayorih is sure that both men are inside she signaled Ban to call Paul and tell him the meeting place. They heard a phone ringing.
"Third Street after Tokyo station… abandoned building... sixth floor… 22 o' clock…" Ban said after Paul picked up the phone. Paul thanked him and then quickly ends the conversation. After few minutes they saw the door open. Spence and Mr. Switzer came out with Ginji and Himiko behind. Ayorih opened the door for Mr. Switzer and after he went inside Spence follow in. She looked at Ginji and Himiko then she went inside. They were back on the road again.
"I am glad I followed your advice James. The get backers are really great." Mr. Switzer said.
"They really are sir. Hibiya told me they are the best retrieval expert here in Japan." Ban said. Right now he is James Adams, the name of the stinking bodyguard where he got the stinking suit. He is also a British who arrived here in Japan together with Mr. Smithson, his daughter, Mr. Switzer and the other members of the Smithsonian Institution.
"Major Hajime is great too. To bad I didn't get a chance to apologize to her for what I said yesterday and to thank her as well."
"Don't worry about it sir I think cops are naturally wicked. She just doesn't show it." Ban said and from the corner of his eye he saw Ayorih look at him.
"Your right but I think Major Hajime is different. What do you think William?" Mr. Switzer asks.
"I agree with you sir. I asked Hibiya to research about her and found out about her many achievements when she was here in Japan and then when she was assigned to America." Spence said. Ban look at him through the rearview mirror then at Ayorih who is looking outside. She is Hibiya Hiroto that Spence is referring to. He is the Japanese bodyguard that is assigned to go along with Mr. Switzer after the accident two weeks ago.
"Care to tell us what you found out?" Mr. Switzer asks.
"There are no records about Major Ayorih before she got to the police department. All that was written was she was eighteen years old when she became TPD's special detective. She served the police department for two years. After that she was transferred to America with what reason I do not know." Ban is driving while listening closely to Spence. Of course Ayorih didn't do the research; the real Hibiya Hiroto did so she doesn't have any idea what they found out about her. She is silently listening as well. "Major Hajime's performance in America was top class and so she became an FBI agent also earning the rank of a Major. She has worked a couple of times for Mr. Smithson in Washington. Don't you remember her, sir?" Spence ask.
"I don't remember." Said Mr. Switzer.
"Some of the paintings and artifacts that were delivered in the museums of the Smithsonian Institution were transported by Major Hajime. She's also responsible for the museum's security and had escorted Mr. Smithson on some of his out of the country business." Spence said.
'Major lesB is really something.' Ban thought. He notices Ayorih's still passive face.
"Major Hajime is popular in America. Your always with Mr. Smithson I'm surprised you don't know her."
"Yes… I think I remember her now. Mr. Smithson introduced Major Hajime to me when we went to London last year. I remember I was surprised to see that the Major Hajime Mr. Smithson was always talking about was actually a lady." Mr. Switzer said with a smile. "I totally forgot maybe it's because of her hair… she looks different back then."
'I wonder what her hairstyle before...' Ban remembered Himiko also noticed her hairstyle this morning.
"How long did she stay in America and when did she got back here in Japan?" Mr. Switzer asks.
"After a year of serving in America she returned here in Japan. I think she arrived her three weeks ago and has already solved one case." Spence replied. "The one involving the neutron bomb."
"Yeah I know that. I really need to talk to her. I hope I'll see her again." Mr. Switzer said.
"Don't worry sir you'll see her again… that's for sure." Ban said. 'She's right in front of you.'
9:45 pm
"Were here sir." Spence said. He opens the door and went out with Mr. Switzer behind him. Ayorih and Ban are out and are looking at the tall abandoned building. Some floors are dimly lit while some are totally black. The glass windows are broken and the half part of the front of the building looks ready to crumble to the ground anytime. Metal beams that stand as the foundation of the building are bend in half while some are totally rusted and will fall if you lay a feather on top of it.
'I wonder how Gin-chan and Himi-chan.' Ayorih thought as she walks beside Mr. Switzer while Ban and Spence are behind them. They are going to meet somebody on the building's front lobby then go to the fourteenth floor. They've reached the front door and quietly went inside.
"Stay alert." Spence reminded them. The lobby was pitch-black so it is impossible to see anything. Ayorih can feel Ban's presence to her right and Mr. Switzer behind her.
"We have companies." Ayorih whispered when she felt another presence that's not familiar to her.
"One at ten o' clock and another two were behind us." Ban added.
"Hibiya stay with Mr. Switzer." Spence commanded. Ayorih can feel him as he slowly walk away from them.
"Hey, how 'bout a little game… if you knocked out more person than me you'll get free breakfast for one month." Ayorih said.
"Hmm… you'll be sorry that you said that." Ban said as he ready his self. He can feel more people coming. He is determined to win coz he wants free and delicious breakfast. 'Two to my right and another two behind me… good, I need some warm up.' Ban thought and felt them slowly coming forward.
"If I win you'll wash the dishes for one month so you better do your best." Ayorih said.
"Let's get it on."
"Play time." Ayorih said afterward she ducks the first attack from her left and kick the stomach of the man in front of her. "One - zero." She heard a loud thud followed by another.
"Make that two - one." Ayorih heard Ban said. She gave the man to her left a hard punch on the stomach that knock him out.
"Two all." Ayorih said.
"Three - two." Ban announced after he knocked out another man.
"Mr. Switzer stay close to us and nothing will happen to you." Ayorih reminded the trembling man behind her. She heard a yes from him.
"Where's William?" Mr. Switzer asks and quickly got his answer.
"BANG!"
"William!" Mr. Switzer calls out.
"Welcome Mr. Henry Switzer." Somebody said followed by the opening of a spotlight that is directed to Ban, Ayorih and Mr. Switzer. "Too bad one of you didn't make it." All look at the man who is standing on the second floor hallway.
"Where's Ms. Evelyn?" Mr. Switzer asks.
"Be patient my friend you'll see her later." The man replied. He has short light blue hair and wearing a pants and a blue long-sleeved shirt.
"Who are you?" Ayorih ask.
"Sorry boy but your not worthy to know my name." The man said. The remark annoys Ayorih and Ban noticed this. He can clearly read what is running on Ayorih's mind right now as she looks at the man.
"I'll get you later, you blue haired arrogant bastard!" But as quickly as it came it was quickly gone too.
"Proceed to the elevator to your right then up on the fourteenth floor. Boss will meet you there." The man said and then he is gone.
"Let's go." Ban said. They walk towards the elevator passing the five men that they knocked out. The elevator door open up and they step inside with Mr. Switzer behind them. Ayorih watch as one number light up followed by another and so on. "I'm on the lead, you sure you want to continue?"
"I suggest you start praying if you don't want to lose." Ayorih said confidently.
"You're bluffing again."
"I never bluff." The door opens and they are surprised to see the whole room is empty. "Let's go." Ayoirh said. Ban and Mr. Switzer are just behind her. The whole room is not that large and has lights coming from the medium size chandelier on the middle.
"Welcome Mr. Henry Switzer." The greeting is the same as before but the voice is different. Before the voice was cheeky and has no weight to it while this one is powerful and commanding. They look to the left and saw a man sitting on a chair with one bald man standing to his left and the man who welcomed them on the lobby was standing to his right. "Did you bring my star?"
"Where's Evelyn." Mr. Switzer's voice is desperate and earnest.
"Don't worry she's fine. Show me the Star of Africa." He said as he studies Ban and Ayorih. Mr. Switzer gets the box from the pocket of his coat and shows it to the man before them. The diamond is huge and it sparkles as light illuminates it. Ban is stunned to see its beauty while Ayorih's face remains passive. "Beautiful." Mr. Switzer closes the box and put it back in his pocket.
"Now show me Ms. Smithson." Mr. Switzer exclaimed.
"Sure." The bald man gave the boss a black square object with a single button. Ban looks at Ayorih and sends her an "I-don't-like-what-he's-holding" look. Aoyrih send him a "get-ready" and "be-alert" look. The man pushed the button. For a few seconds everything is silent. Then smoke started to come out from the bottom floor.
"Sleeping gas." Ban said in a muffled voice. He covers his mouth and nose with his hand as the smoke surrounds them. He saw the three men before them with gas mask. They watched at the whole room fill with white gas.
"Have a nice dream."
"Boss they are asleep like a baby." A bald guy announces.
"Good." The boss said. He stands up and walked towards his new captive. The "blue haired bastard" is just behind the boss. The bald guy turns Mr. Switzer to his back and gets the box from his pocket and hands it to his boss. "It's so beaut…" He isn't able to complete his sentence when he felt something pointed at the place between his legs. He look down and saw a white gun directed on it.
"You're still awake. How did that happened?" The bald guy is shock when he saw Ban and Ayorih are awake and are in Indian sit position in front of them. One is holding two guns that are pointed on his boss and his comrade.
"Sorry but its not yet my nap time." Ban said.
"Hand the box over if you don't want me to blow you happiness into dust." Ayorih said in a deadly voice. She sneers at the "blue haired bastard". Ban can clearly see the two men trembling.
'Man… Major lesB sure is scary.' Ban thought. Who wouldn't tremble and be scared if somebody points a gun to your boy down there. The boss handed the box to Ban who stand up and gave a punch to the bald guy.
"Four - two." Ban said as he looked down at Ayorih who is still sending daggers to the "blue haired bastard". Mr. Switzer is still fast asleep and he didn't bother to wake up the man.
"Your no-not Mr. Swi-Switzer's real body… bodyguard. Who… who are yo- you?" The "blue haired bastard" asked in a shaky voice.
"Sorry boy but your not worthy to know my name." Ayorih said then she move her gun closer to the quivering man's you know what.
"Where is Ms. Smithson?" Ayorih ask turning her attention to the mastermind.
"She's on the…"
"BANG!" All looked behind them and saw Spence holding a pistol. He shot the ceiling and is now aiming the gun at them.
"Spence... what are you doing?" Ayorih ask as she stands up but didn't get any answer. She knew so well what's going on or what will happen next. Ban has the same idea running through his head.
"Give the guns to Masaru." Spence ordered in a firm and an imposing tone. Ayorih obeyed and gives her guns to the boss that she thought is the real boss. "Major Hajime, Mr. Midou good disguises but not well enough… no one can get out of here alive." Spence fire the pistol but Ayorih evade it while Ban kick the "blue haired bastard". As Ayorih evades it she hit Masaru on the stomach and got her gun back. She quickly aimed it at Masaru who is kneeling on the floor while clutching his stomach.
"Throw your gun if you don't want me to blow his head off." Ayorih said.
'As if she can do that… her gun doesn't contain any bullet.' Ban thought. He knew Ayorih's gun contains the propofol that she used to make them sleep on the train. "Five - two." Ban said from behind Ayorih.
"Major Hajime put down your gun." Spence said not even threatened that his comrade's life is in danger.
"Surrender yourself traitor you're all alone. There is nothing you can do." Ban said.
"Who told you? I'm not alone and I got something you two own." Spence said and as if on a cue the back door open and five armed men came out followed by another two who held someone they knew.
"Ginji! Himiko!" Ayorih exclaimed. Himiko and Ginji's hands are tied up behind them and both are unconscious.
"Now Major put down you're guns if you don't want me to tell my men to blow your friends' heads." Spence ordered. Ayorih place her guns on the floor again.
"Got plan b lesB?" Ban asks.
"Of course." Ayorih replied. They looked at each other and smiled. The two doesn't look nervous or scared at all. Spence order them to put their hands up and they did. Masaru got up and picked up Ayorih's black and white gun while the other two helped the unconscious "blue haired bastard". Spence walk towards Ayorih, he stood in front of her and yanked her wig. Her long, beautiful, black hair tumbles behind and framed her face. He grasps Ayorih's hair that made her head slightly bend backwards and he examines her.
"Major you sure look good as a man but I you look yummier as a woman." Spence said lustfully as he draws her face closer to his then nuzzles Ayorih's neck. "God you smell so good." He whispers hoarsely. Ban remains still and just watches what is transpiring before him. He looks from Spence's evil and licentious face to Ayorih's emotionless one. "I'm sure beneath this suit you hide a very desirable body." His free hand unbuttoned Ayorih's coat and then started to make way to her chest but stopped when Ayorih rammed her head to his nose. "AAHH!" He shrieked in pain as he held his broken and bleeding nose. However Ayorih wasn't contented with what she did and kneed Spence's groin followed by a punch on the stomach that brought the pervert man on his knees.
'You deserve that pervert!' Ban though. He shows an unruffled and tactless face but deep down he is so furious that he can rip Spence's head from his body and crush it with his bare hand. He notices Ayorih's still impassive face. If it wasn't for the two men with guns pointed at Himiko and Ginji, Spence would probably have another broken body part care of the pissed of Major.
"You BITCH!" Spence scream angrily and slap Ayorih hard on her left cheek. Ayorih looked at him blankly and unaffected, Ban didn't even see her flinch, that seemed to annoy Spence more. He slapped her again so hard that everyone heard it sound through the entire room. Again Ayorih gave him the deadpan look. She got another slap and he got another blank look. Finally Spence lost the very little temper he got left and hit Ayorih's temple with the butt of his pistol. She fell unconscious to the floor with blood streaming down her right cheek. Ban also lost his temper and gave Spence a powerful punch that sent him flying to the wall, down to the floor and to dreamland. Masaru and two other men hit Ban until he is down.
"Ayo-chan… Ban-chan… wake up."
"Keep quiet!" A man shouted.
"Ginji don't wake them up yet. Let them rest they look battered."
"If you say so Himiko-chan." Ginji is sited on the cold floor with his hands tied up with a very thick rope behind his back and his legs too. Himiko who is lying on her side is bounded as well. When he first woke up after being hit he saw Himiko tied up beside him then when somebody came and saw him awake he hit him again.
"I wonder what happened." Kudo Himiko, sixteen years old, has no idea what happened after she was hit at the back of her head the next thing she knew she was tied up with Ginji, he was awake beside her and also with Ayorih and Ban who were both unconscious. Ms. Evelyn Smithson is nowhere.
AN: according to bc Himiko is sixteen...sorry for the wrong information.i said Himiko is ninteen,right?hehe..sorry for that!what was i thinking?thanks bc!ok back to the story!
"Himiko-chan isn't that Mr. Switzer's bodyguard who was with him on the shop." Ginji said when he saw a man with short reddish-brown hair that looks exactly like Mr. Switzer's guard. The man looks beaten too. Three more are guarding them. One is tall and bald like the one who received Ban's punch but this one looks younger, the other one is a few inches shorter with shoulder length black hair and the other has short yellowish-brown hair.
"Now that explains why Ban and Ayorih-chan were captured. They aren't aware that Judas is with them." Himiko said. Mr. Switzer's bodyguard went out as Himiko notice Ayorih waking up. "Hey you ok?"
"I'm fine." Ayorih reply. She can feel her cheeks sore plus her temple. She tried to sit up but found herself tied up and something slightly heavy on top of her chest. When she saw what it is she has almost slash off the very thick rope that is tied on her arms and legs with her bare hands. She can feel her anger rising up. She wanted to break another nose.
"Calm down Ayo-chan I'm sure its not Ban-chan's intention to lay his head on top of your chest. He is unconscious so please don't get mad." Ginji said trying to reason out with Ayorih so that he won't loose his partner. It worked for Ayorih rested her head on the floor again and let Ban stay on heaven.
"Hmm… so soft." The three heard Ban murmured happily as he rubs his left cheek on Ayorih's chest and moan blissfully.
"Ayo-chan… please…"
"BLAG! PAK!"
"OOOUUCCCHHH!" Ban cry out in pain. He has no idea what happened, one minute he felt as if he is heaven then next his head hit the floor then his forehead hurt. He look around and notice he is tied up. Himiko and Ginji are there, both are also tied up. He suddenly felt a strong and deadly presence behind him and when he look behind he almost jump up in what he saw.
"PINEAPPLE HEAD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ayorih yell and if not for Himiko and the roped tied on Ayorih's hands and feet Ban is sure he is dead right now. If looks can kill he is sure that he is dead by now and the decomposers are eating his flesh.
"What did I do?" Ban has totally no idea why Ayorih wants him dead. 'Good thing she's tied up or else I'll end up like that Spence.' He remember every scene on his head. He felt shiver run up his spine. 'Scary lesB.'
"WHAT DID YOU DO! YOU PERVERT BASTARD!" Ayorih's voice thundered to the entire room. The three guards looked at them and after making sure no ones dead yet they went back to whatever they were doing.
"Ayorih calm down. Ban didn't mean it he was asleep." Himiko said. She is between Ban and Ayorih because she knew if she let Ayorih come near Ban, he'd be lifeless in one second.
"What are you talking about?" Ban ask confuse. "Damn my forehead hurts." He mutter.
"Ban-chan, Ayo-chan gave you a head-butt because your head is on top of her breast and you were rubbing it with your cheek." Ginji said. Ban's face turned white upon hearing it. He has no idea he did that. "And you were moaning like this." Ginji mimicked Ban. "Hmm… so soft."
"STOP THAT! I didn't do that." Ban exclaims feeling his face heat up.
"Yes you did that." Himiko said. Ban look at Himiko and knew she wasn't lying, and then he look at Ginji who has a silly smile on his face.
'She has a good reason to blaze with rage.' Ban thought while he look at Ayorih. He can clearly see what is running on her head and it is something like this.
"When I get out of here I'll reap your head and dice your body into pieces and throw it to the sharks so they can devour every piece of you."
"Oh come on lesB you think I enjoy lying on your breast... p-llleeaasseee. I think I'll enjoy rubbing my cheek on a brick than your breast."
'You enjoy it so much… you even thought you were in heaven.' Ban's mind told him.
"But Ban-chan you sound really happy." Ginji second the notion of his mind.
"SHUT UP!" Ban exclaims.
"I'll kill you pineapple head." Ayorih scream as she tries to grab Ban's hair but thanks to Himiko, Ban is still breathing.
"Ok enough of this we still have a job to do." Himiko said. "Ayorih-chan what do we do now?"
"We need to know where Mr. Switzer and Ms. Smithson are but first we need to get out of here. I know you can do something about that, right Himi-chan?" Aoyrih turn serious again. Himiko nodded and adjust herself so she can get one of her potions behind her. After just five seconds the two men guarding them are in a trance.
"Untie us." Himiko commanded and the three guards untied her, Ginji and Ayorih. Ban doesn't need any help so he freed his self. "Where are you hiding Ms. Smithson and Mr. Switzer?" Himiko ask.
"Audio visual room at the seventeenth floor…" The bald man replied. He and the other two men guarding them stood just five feet away from them.
"We better…" Ginji stop talking when he felt Ayorih and Ban move passed him in a fast pace. He sees Ayorih as she punch the bald man, afterward she quickly dodge Ban's right punch at the black hair and push him away. "What are they doing?" Ginji is totally confused as well as Himiko. They saw Ban get hold of Ayorih's right leg stopping her attack. Ban then use his free hand to assault the black hair. Ayorih jump away from Ban and swiftly attack the remaining guard.
"Six - four." Ban said. Ayorih stands straight and look at Ban with the look she gave Spence. 'Ooh… she's going to kill me.' Ban thought and he reflects the look on Ayorih's face to see if it will annoy her more but her face is far from the look of annoyance. Ayorih smiled sweetly at Ban and that surprised him. He wasn't prepared when she raised her fisted hand and delivered a punch.
"Five all." Ayorih said. Ban look behind him. He saw the black hair now with whirly eyes. The sweet and most beautiful smile that Ban has ever seen quickly disappeared. She didn't let Ban say anything else and quickly ordered them to follow her. The three followed Ayorih as they leave the room and go to the elevator.
'I should've punched him harder.' Ban thought a little annoyed. He still can't believe that he rubbed his cheek on Ayorih's chest but what annoys him more is the fact that he likes it and wanted to do it again. Another more irritating fact is that he thinks that Ayorih looks incredibly gorgeous when she gave him that smile with her hair down. "Damn." He mumbled under his breath.
"What is that all about? What's with the six - four and five all thing?" Himiko ask after they went inside the elevator and the door closed. She got no reply. The elevator continues to go up as silence envelope them. Ginji look from Ayorih to Ban. He watched as Ayorih remove her necktie that was included in the black three piece suit she is wearing and tied up her hair with it, though he likes her hair free and flowing behind her. She has a calm expression in spite of what happened. Ginji look at his partner who is wearing the same suit as Ayorih but he has removed his coat and is now wearing a white long sleeve polo shirt and black slacks. He looks calm too and nice with a necktie.
'I wonder if happened to them before we got captured.' Ginji thought. Ayorih broke the silence.
"Stop looking at me pineapple head or I'll lynch you with your tie."
"ME looking at YOU! In you're dreams lesB!" Ban retorted and mentally kicked his self for staring at Ayorih. He thinks she doesn't look less feminine even thought she's wearing a man's suit. For him she looks adorable in a three-piece suit with the coat unbuttoned. He mentally punched his self this time and ordered his mind to stop thinking. 'You got a nice view of her slim waist.' His mind isn't cooperating at all. After a click the elevator door open up on the seventeenth floor.
"So what's the plan?" Ginji asked.
"Capture the criminals and save the victim." Ayorih replied as they walk on the corridor towards the AVR where Ms. Smithson and Mr. Switzer are locked up. They reached the room and saw the door slightly ajar. Ayorih stood beside the door with Himiko beside her while Ban and Ginji are adjacent to them. All peeked inside and saw Mr. Switzer that has a surprised look on his face as he gaze at William Spence and Masaru who were standing on the stage. The room is bright with lights and the moon outside casting a light inside.
"William, why are you doing this?" Mr. Switzer asked. He is tied up in a chair and Ms. Smithson is also tied up in another chair beside him with her head bowed down.
"Why?" He stopped and pretended to be thinking. "Simple I want the Smithson's treasure, the Star of Africa and everything that they have up to the last cent. I'm sick and tired of just being a servant. I wan to be the master!" He said and laugh out loud. He is holding the Star of Africa. He crouched down and picked up a white gun that is beside the black one. He aimed it at Mr. Switzer. "Goodbye now Sir Henry Switzer."
"BANG!" When Spence look at where Mr. Switzer is he is not there.
"Huh? Where is he?" Spence asked as he frantically looked around. He can't see Ms. Smithson either and when he looked beside him Masaru was down on the floor. "What's happening?"
"Hello Spence."
"Mr. Midou…" William Spence looked at Ban and saw him move his shades with his finger, adjusting it. "Major Hajime." Ayorih is there too standing in front of him with another blond guy and a younger woman. Ms. Smithson and Mr. Switzer are standing behind them as well.
"Surrender Spence if you still want to live." Major Hajime said as she walk towards the stage.
"Stop right there or I'll shoot you." Spence warned her with a quivering voice. The white gun pointed at Ayorih. "I said STOP!"
"BANG!" Ayorih was able to evade it. "BANG! BANG!" Two more shots that Ayorih ducked gracefully. With a swift movement that is too fast for Spence to see. Ayorih is now standing in front of him and she gave him a hard punch on his stomach that made him cough hard. He falls down on his knees while clutching his stomach and still coughing.
"You're under arrest for Mr. Neville Smithson's death and for kidnapping Ms. Evelyn Smithson." Aoyrih said with a monotone voice.
"I surrender." Spence said after a couple of cough. He tastes his own blood and his stomach ached so much. 'You'll pay for this bitch.' He thought as he pretend to cough again while he gets something from his pocket. He saw Major Hajime picking up her guns. She is standing on the stage's edge with her back to him. 'Perfect.' He quickly stood up and aimed his pistol at Major Hajime.
"AYORIH BEHIND YOU!" Spence heard the younger woman's loud scream and saw Ban and the blond guy ran towards the stage. He saw Ayorih turned around to him with a shock look and before she has a chance to make another move he pull the trigger. He saw the bullet go directly to her right chest. He pull the trigger again and it hit her left chest directly to her heart.
"DIE BITCH!" Spence shouted angrily and again pulled the trigger for the third time this time it hit right between her eyes.
"AYORIH!" Spence heard the blond guy yell as he and Ban continue to run towards Ayorih who is falling fast on the floor. He knew she's dead after the second shot. He raise the gun and aim at Ban who's advancing to with a very angry and deadly look.
"DIE!" He fired at Ban but he is too fast and evade it. Now he stood to his right and is walking towards him. He fired the gun but he failed to hit him again. He continued to fire over and over not caring if he shoots somebody or not.
"Get away from me." Spence said and run away from Ban when the bullets in his gun were all used up but Ban keeps on walking towards him with eyes that could kill. "Please don't kill me." Spence pleaded as he backed away from Ban. He saw the others go over at the dead Major who was in the blond man's arms. He looked at Ban again and stop. Another step and he'll fall and surely he'll die when he hit the ground. Seventeenth floor sure is very high and every bone in your body will crush if you fall from this height.
"You'll pay for what you did." Ban said in a lethal voice. Spence look pass Ban and saw a black gun just few feet away from him. He walks sideways and dashed to the gun on the floor. He picked it up and aim it at Ban.
"I'm going to kill you all!" Spence exclaimed and fire at Ban. He saw the bullet pierced on Ban's middle torso but that didn't stop him from walking to his direction. He shot him again. It hit his left arm.
"PAK!" He felt another punch on his stomach but this time more painful that caused him to be hurled away and land hard on his back on the floor. The gun dropped from his hand and blood came out from his mouth. Ban clutches him by his shirt and raise him up with Spence's feet above the floor.
"Die bastard!" Another blow on his face then Ban threw him on the glass window that easily shattered into pieces. He felt the cold wind after he was thrown out and saw the height he was going to fall. He desperately held on the window's ledge and felt glass pierce through his hand.
"HELP! Don't let me die! PLEASE!" Spence screamed out loud, begging for his life to be spared. He saw Ban as he gazed down on him. "Mr. Midou help me… I'll pay you with whatever amount you want. Please help me." He didn't see any mercy in Ban's eyes. He then set his eyes on the blond man that stood beside Ban. "Please help me." He begged. He noticed his white shirt and green vest were covered with blood.
"Ginji let him die." Ban said not showing even a pinch of mercy.
"Ginji please help me." Ginji reach for his hand but because of the blood in his hands he slipped. "AHHH!" Spence cry out as he plunge down and he knew that in less than a minute he would smack to the ground and die. "HELP!" He cried out again waiting for a miracle to happen then all of a sudden he felt someone grip his hand. He felt relief but when he looked up, what he saw drained all the blood from his face and sent shivers all over his body. He felt his whole body go numb.
"Major Hajime." Spence said with so much terror in his voice. He can't believe what he is seeing. Major Hajime is firmly holding both his hands. Her face was white and lifeless with blood flowing from the wound between her eyes where he shot her. "NO! You're DEAD!" He scream as he tries to free his hands from her cold grip. He can still feel the earth pulling him down towards his death. Then Major Hajime wraps him on her arms and he felt her very cold body. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled as he pushed her body away from him.
"Die with me…" She said in a cold and creepy voice. She put both her hands on his cheeks and laid her bloody forehead against his. He can feel her blood on his own forehead as it flows down his nose then to his mouth where he tasted her blood then to his neck and down.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!"
"Just one minute."
