Chapter Four
"Touko! Hey girl! How've you been! Long time no see. This reunion between old friends is long over due!" Dojima's voice was heard over Michael's headset loud and clear. "Amon she's yelling again." Michael said to Amon. That morning, Michael hooked up Amon's headset to hear from Dojima's microphone. "I know. Dojima, lower your voice, you're going to make Michael and I go deaf." Amon spoke into his headset. Dojima smiled at Touko. She was a very good actress. The earplug was so tight in her ear; Touko would never hear Amon speaking.
"Hey girl," Touko's voice was heard over the headset. Amon cringed. To think he actually once thought he loved that woman. Now here he was hiding in a stairway closet waiting to kill her.
Touko and Dojima wandered through the house and over into the kitchen. Michael was telling the hunters word for word what was happening. After getting some tea and cookies, the two girls went through the living room and into the sunroom. While in the living room, Touko hesitated and turned around. She looked right up to where the camera was but couldn't see it for Michael hid it very well.
"Coming Touko?" Dojima called as she placed the tray of goodies on the sunroom table. "Yeah, coming." Touko sounded suspicious but was soon adverted from her suspicion when she and Dojima started talking about boys and celebrities like a couple of teenaged high school cheerleaders.
"Oh he is sooooo cute. I just want to puke and gag and throw myself off a bridge." Michael mimicked Dojima over the communicator. The hunters laughed, and even Amon chuckled slightly. Dojima shot the camera over Touko's shoulder an evil glare. She heard Amon chuckle and knew Michael was mocking her. Touko not once noticed the glare.
"So Dojima, speaking of boys. Got one yet? Aren't you and that co-worker of yours dating? Oh, what's his name…Sakaki?" Michael started laughing and he repeated everything that was said over his headset. Sakaki blushed and yelled into his headset, problem, everyone could hear him. His headset was hooked up as a once was. He was only to hear.
Touko turned around and faced the main hallway. "Sakaki you ass! Shut up! And Michael stop goofing off!" Amon scolded over the headset after Michael told them that Touko heard Sakaki.
"Something wrong Touko?" Dojima asked. She too heard Sakaki's voice but tried to ignore it. "I thought I heard a voice. Sounded familiar too." Touko stood up and walked into the main hallway. She stopped right in front of Sakai's hiding place and looked around. "Don't be silly. It was probably just my gardener. I asked him to come in today. Its such a hot weekend I want to use the pool tomorrow and I want the yard to look good." Dojima smiled. She started to lead Touko back to the sunroom when Sakaki sneezed. Touko's perfume was very strong and Sakaki got a whiff of it when she walked by the closet door.
"Sakaki of the STN-J!" Touko slammed open the closet door. Amon, Michael, and Karasuma cringed. They were busted. Or were they. "Dojima what's going on here?" Touko pulled Sakaki out of the closet, his gun and headset falling to the floor. Touko could hear Amon's voice thought Sakaki's fallen headset. He was telling Sakaki to come up with something, and fast. Then she could hear Michael telling Amon that Sakaki drooped the headset. Then she could hear Amon again, cussing under his breath.
Touko picked up the headset; not realizing it was one-way and yelled into it for all hunters to come out now. What Touko didn't know was that the hunters prepared for something like this. Only Sakaki and Karasuma were to sacrifice their hiding places. So Karasuma came into the house and stood before Touko. Touko orders Sakaki and Karasuma to drop their weapons and headsets. They did and she took them and threw them on the sofa in the living room when Sakaki and Karasuma followed. "Where are the rest?" Touko demanded. "Not hear, they are at STN-J base. We've been monitoring you with cameras." Karasuma was very believable. Touko was mad. "Why?" She demanded. "Because we know you killed Robin!" Amon and Michael cringed. How could Sakaki say something like that? Robin wasn't dead and now Touko knows their mission.
"Oh, so she is dead. It worked." Touko said softly. "What did you say?" Sakaki demanded. "I said I didn't kill the stupid witch. I wouldn't waist my time." Touko replied. When she turned around to face Dojima, Dojima had a gun to her head. "I heard what you said. You did hurt Robin." Dojima said. He hand was shaking. Touko was taken back. But she stood her ground. "Yeah so what if I did? You're not going to shoot me. Your to nervous and shaken up. And incase you are wondering, I'm glad she's dead! The witch was a bitch! She deserved to die!" Touko laughed as Dojima dropped her gun as some tears streamed down her face.
Touko turned around as was face to face with the barrel of Amon's sleek black gun. Touko's face went white. "Dojima may not be able to kill you, but I can." Amon's eyes were thin and dark. His face was stone cold with no emotion. "You wouldn't Amon…come on…you wouldn't…please…don't…" Touko pleaded as Amon moved his index finger to the trigger of his gun. Touko stared at the gun. She wasn't afraid of it, she was afraid of Amon and his knack for seeking revenge, especial on those who hut the ones he cared for and held dear to him. Amon held the gun with one black-gloved hand. The other was motionless beside him. His black messy hair and black outfit and black trench coat gave him the look of a modern day Grim Reaper to Touko. At Point blank range, Amon didn't use his orbo gun; he used the gun his brother gave him. "Amon, come on…please don't, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'll make up for it I promise. Just give me a second change. I'm sorry…" Touko was near tears. "The same second chance you gave Robin, not this time Touko…" Amon answered as Sakaki, Karasuma and Dojima turned way from Amon as a loud gunshot rung throughout the house.
