Ch. 5

"It's raining," I told Pia. I was standing in front of one of our windows in our living room watching tears fall from the heaven. Rain. It seem many people hate it but I don't. I love the rain for as long as I can remember. The gloomy mood it brought with it suits my mood. Rain always seems to bring about disaster or sadness into the world. It always rain in anime or movies when someone dies or a break up in a relationship after being together for a long time and that person is still deeply in love with his or her lover.

Who was that guy from yesterday? Sabotage? What's that? Could it be another organization? How did--

"Come here Hoshi," Pia interrupted my thoughts. I walked toward where she was sitting on the black leather sofa watching something on TV. I joined her and looked at the black box with moving images in front of me. My eyes widen as I saw the news.

"No way. When did that happen?" I said shocked.

"It must have happen after we left. Half of the Sonic Laboratory is destroy," said Pia.

"I didn't hear any explosion," I said still watching the news. "Oh, man. Red is gonna yell at us."

"We didn't do it, " said Pia. I looked at her to find her deep in thoughts. She jerked her head up and stared at me. "That person we saw yesterday must have done it. It must have been him."

I nodded. "You're right"

After showing images of the Sonic Laboratory in ruined the new reporter talked about the red shurikens being stolen.

"Hoshi, let's go see Red right now," said Pia.

"Yea," I replied.

We ran through the pouring rain as it drenched us with its wetness. We didn't bring an umbrella with us but we didn't care. We're use to walking and running in the rain. All we had in mind was getting to Red's office.

I waited impatiently as the elevator took us to the headquarters. Once there we verified our identity and rush in, dashing toward Red office. I opened the door and we entered but he wasn't there.

"Where could he be," I whispered.

"I don't know. Let's search for him here then we can go to his office up floors and see if we can find him," said Pia. So we search in the headquarters. No one was in sight. How strange. Usually there will be at least seven or eight members walking around here.

"Hoshi, Pia. There you are," we heard Sugar calling us. We stopped and turned around to face here.

"Hi," we said.

"Were you looking for us?" asked Pia.

"Of course. You're me students and you're late," she said sternly. "Let's go to class now," she said as she passed by us.

"Class?" asked Pia and I.

"Yes, class. You two didn't forget you have class today did you?"

Pia and I looked at each other. "Ah..."

"We're busy. We're looking for Red. We have something to tell him," said Pia quickly.

"That can wait," said Sugar. "Let's go."

"But it's important," I shouted after her.

Sugar stopped, turned around to looked at us, and said, "He's not here right now."

"Where is he then?" asked Pia.

Sugar ignored us and just walked on to our classroom.

"Hurry up," she said in a stern voice. Pia and I glanced at each other. We knew we were getting her angry so we obeyed her and follow her to the classroom. After about four hours in class we heard commotions going on outside the classroom.

"Keep on reading," she told us and went out the door. Pia and I was curious about what was happening so we disobey her and went to the door. I opened it just enough so we can see what was happening in the hall. I saw Red, Sugar, and six members talking in serious tone. Those six members were known as the BTK, which stood for Blood Thirsty Killers. Among the members they were the strongest and deadliest assassins in the organizations. They were also Red's personal guards although he doesn't really need guards.

"Find him at once and killed him. I will have no mercy for traitors," said Red.

"Yes," said the assassins.

"What's going on?" I wondered.

"Sssh...,"whispered Pia. "Hey, look at Red's clothes." I did. My eyes widen when I saw blood on his outfit. His hand was tinted with blood as well. So was his kantana by his side. I looked at the BTK and found blood on them as well.

"Did they..."

"You know. You two shouldn't be eavesdropping," said Snipe, one of the BTK. He was the captain of the squad and the fiercest among them. He was almost as good as Red. He had black hair with icy blue eyes. Below his left eye was an upside down bluish grey small triangle.

Pia and I sighed. Pia opened the door to its full extent. We stood facing them. "So...what happened to you guys?" I asked in a matter of fact tone.

They just stared at us making me feel uncomfortable. "I told you two to read," said Sugar.

"Sorry. We were curious what was happening in the hall,'' said Pia.

"Well, go back in and read," ordered Sugar.

"We have to speak with Red," I said.

Red turned his back on us and said," Later. I'm not in the mood."

"It's important," I said.

"Important?" asked K.C., the only female in BTK.

"Yes," said Pia. Before she can continue Red started walking toward his office. "Wait!" shouted Pia.

"Tell me later!" he shouted back.

"Yesterday on our mission, this guy told us to tell you Sabotage is on the lose!" I shouted after him. Red abruptly stopped and turned to face us. BTK and Sugar were also looking at us. "What? That's what he told us," I said weakly.

BTK and Sugar began to whispered and chatted among themselves. Red walked back to us and stared at Pia and I.

"Sabotage?" he asked staring right into our eyes.

We both nodded. "Yes, he said Sabotage was on the lose,'' said Pia.

Red backed away and looked at everyone. I noticed the expression on his eyes changed. They became dangerous and cold.

"Red," started Sugar.

He turned his back on us and said sternly, "Call everyone and have them in the conference room within an hour. BTK, delay the search until after the conference."

"Yes," they all said. Red left the group and went to his office.

What's going on? A conference? We don't have a lot of conference we're all the members meet unless...unless something important had come up. Could it be about this Sabotage?

"Hoshi, Pia, help me contact the others members. Class is over," said Sugar.

"Yes," we said and follow her to her office. Something big is going to happen. This isn't going to be pretty.
