Chapter 13 : Red wires

Taiki and Ami sat behind their desks looking through the microscopes to see if they could find any kind of material on the letters that were send to Haruka that could identify the killer. Much to their dismay they hadn't found anything yet. Both knew the time was running out and it was working on their nerves. Especially for Ami since she was going to be the next victem.

'' Taiki..?'' The blue haired girl started as she looked up from her microscope to the man next to her. He smlied at her but before he could say anything suddenly the silence was broken by his cellphone that went off. He fastly excused himself and picked up his cellphone while walking out of the lab.

'' Yes , this is Taiki speaking ?''

'' Hi...'' A voice from the other side of the line came.'' This is madame nake-d.''

Taiki rolled his eyes.'' Madame...who ?''

'' Madame nake-d.'' The voice repeated causing Taiki to laugh slightly.

'' Listen ma'am I don't know what you are selling but whatever it is , I don't want it.''

'' Don't be so annoying Taiki , just play along.'' He now heard Yaten say.

'' Yaten why the heck are you calling me and what's this shit about madame naked ?'' Taiki asked impatient. Yaten knew better than to call him at work and play pranks on him. Sometimes he wondered if the silver haired man maybe was adopted or something.

'' No you are saying it all wrong.'' Yaten screamed.'' It's madame nake-d.''

'' Whatever , why are you calling me ?'' Taiki persisted. After all he just got this job he couldn't screw it up already at the first day already.

'' Have you found any evidence on Seiya's body or the letters the killer send to that blonde bitch ?'' Yaten asked suprising his brother by his calmness. Their brother had just been murdered and already Yaten was asking about his body.

'' No..'' The brown haired man answered.'' He's still in the morgue , we will take a look at him after we finished the letters , why ?''

'' Just because...'' The other hesitated.'' I want to know who did this and who the killer is. I think it's Haruka , I mean she was with Seiya before they found him dead plus she almost shot Setsuna and two other police officers.She's nowhere to be found.''

'' Don't do anything stupid.'' Taiki warned his brother who just muttered something and hung up leaving Taiki alone in the hallway with his thoughts.

Haruka drove as fast as she could towards she old factory wondering what the serial killer was up to. She wasn't so sure what she could expect next. Maybe another body and maybe not , maybe he just wanted to distract her so he could get Ami.

When she finally arrived there she was suprised by the huge difference of what it had looked like two years ago. There wasn't much left of the factory , only some walls that stood in the high sand and a ceiling that looked like it was about to come down any minute. She shut down the engine and stepped out of her car looking around for the silver car she had seen before. It wasn't a big suprise when she didn't see the car or anyone.

While talking a deep breath the blonde started walking towards the factory. When she was close enough to look inside she saw Michiru sit in the middle of the factory , tied up while looking around with a paniced look on her face. This had to be some kind of trick , Haruka was sure the killer was here somewhere watching her. Maybe he would have a gun to shoot her when she would come near her lover.

Haruka took her gun out of her pocket and held it tightly as she started walking towards Michiru.'' Don't move !'' Suddenly a voice yelled causing the blonde tomboy to jump and to turn around to the place the voice came from. She lowered her gun when she saw Kenji standing in front of her.

'' What are you doing here and what the hell do you mean with : Don't move ?'' Haruka asked a little unsure of what to do next. What was Kenji doing here ? First he didn't show up for work for days and now he was here at the same place as the killer told Haruka to go to.

'' I know what it looks like but if you cross that red line in front of your feet you will trigger an bomb that's strong enough to blow this whole factory up.'' Kenji said while pointing a tthe ground where Haruka was standing. The tomboy knew that if she would look down the chance was big Kenji would attack her. On this very moment she wasn't sure of anything anymore.

After studying Kenji's face for a few more seconds Haruka decided to listen at her partner as she gazed down at the ground. There was indeed a red wire surrounding the whole factory but could it be an explosive ?

'' Then how the hell am I suppossed to get her out of there ?'' The blonde yelled frustated. This serial killer was really playing with her and she couldn't do anything about it. He was probably on his way to the office already to get Ami and kill her.Maybe she should just give it up.

'' I don't know.'' Kenji whispered. He could see how much all of this was affecting the blonde cop. He wished he could help his partner in some way but he knew he couldn't.

'' How the hell did you find me in the first place and how come you know so much about this bomb , I want some answers and I want them now !'' Haruka yelled and aimed her gun at her partner. She had had enough of all the lies , she wanted the truth and since nobody was telling her anything she had decided to get her answers on the hard way.

'' Wow , calm down Tenoh !'' Kenji yelped as he put his hands up in the air.'' You know there's no need for this kind of behaviour.'' But when he saw the look on the blonde's face he knew she wasn't playing around and swallowed hard.'' I know I have a lot of explaining to do but if we don't get Michiru out of that factory within twenty minutes everything will blow up automatically.''

Haruka just shook her head.'' No first give me my answers , How can I be sure you're not the kiler ah ? What if I turn around for one second to save her and you somehow find a way to trigger the bomb or stab me in the back. I want my answers first !''

'' Tenoh you got to trust me , you followed your instinct once , what is it telling you now ?'' The man asked causing Haruka to look down at the ground for one moment but she fastly looked up again with an emotionless look on her face.

'' It's telling me not to trust you or anyone.'' She replied but lowered her gun letting him know she wasn't going to shoot him anymore. She knew he wasn't a treath to her. If he really had wanted her death he wouldn't have stopped her from crossing that line.

'' I'm here for over two days now.'' Kenji said suddenly.'' Like any other killers I expected him to come back to the place he killed his first victem and I was right. He was here. I'm afraid I couldn't get a good look at him cause he was wearing a mask but...I saw him make this bomb Haruka , he made it. This guy isn't flloing around. We already knew ofcourse but this also proves he's a handy man and we can expect all kinds of hidden traps.'' Haruka just nodded as she let her partnet continue.'' Later I saw him carry Michiru back into the factory , I knew if i would try to rescue her I would risk getting caught so i stayed low...But I heard him talk on the phone just a little while ago. It sounded very strange and stupid , like he was talking in some sort of code..''

'' Okay okay , I believe you.'' The blonde hissed a little annoyed now.'' But you haven't found a weak point to the explosive ?'' Kenji just shook his head. Maybe Haruka should hear about that phone call first but he decided to let it rest until later. Then he went wide eyed staring from Haruka back to the red wire and so on.

'' Tenoh...that's it !'' He yelled.

'' What's it ? You finally figured out I'm not expert with explosives and...''

'' No , no !'' Kenji interrupted the blonde as he jumped into the air and ran over to one of the broken windows of the factory. Then he pointed at a small box that was obviously not part of the building.'' This must be the place where the wire starts !''

Haruka nodded.He had a good point there but Kenji also should know the killer was a smart man and wasn't stupid enough to make this easy for them.'' Open it , but be careful.'' She whispered as she gazed through the window looking right into Michiru's eyes which were red and swollen from all the crying she had done.' Just hold on Michi. I promise you'll be save soon.' With that she whispered a silent I love you to her lover who looked like she was going to faint any moment. Then she focussed on Kenji again who was opening the box carefully.

When he finally had opened it they both looked around hoping they hadn't triggered anything. Much to their relieve they hadn't and gazed back at the box. Inside it was empty. There were no hints of red wires or buttons which could trigger or shut off the power that was supplying energy to the bomb. But there was something hanging in the back of the box. Kenji gazed at Haruka who nodded giving him permission to get it out.

With that said and done he folded the little piece of paper open and started to read what was on it aloud.'' Ah dear Kenji and Haruka , you must think I'm crazy not to notice someone was spying on me but because I admire your braveness I will tell you a little secret...There is no explosive , Instead of triggering a bomb I triggered something better , your sences. Go get your girlfriend Tenoh and enjoy the rest because when you get back ...you'll be in for it.'' Both partners just shook their heads in disbelieve.Was all of this fake ? Was Nothing was going to explode ?

'' What now ?'' Kenji asked after a few moments of silence.

'' I don't know , should we risk it ?'' The other asked not really liking the idea their lives depended on a little note.

'' Well we both know he loves mind games so my guesses are the red wires are really nothing but wires , nothing more. For once I feel like trusting...'' Haruka interrupted him by telling him to shut his mouth because he was talking too much.

'' Let's just do this and get it over with.'' Kenji said earning a nod from his partner. With that they both took a deep breath and crossed the line.

'' Who was it ?'' Ami asked when Taiki returned. He just strugged.

'' My annoying brother , he wanted to know how things were going. I'm afraid he might do some crazy things now Seiya is dead , you know...those two were pretty close.But we are all shocked by Seiya's sudden dead.''

Ami nodded.'' He'll get over it , maybe this is just his way of dealing with his loss.'' Taiki nodded. He really hoped that what Ami said was true because if she wasn't right things could go wrong. Yaten had always been a reserved person but he had changed this past few days. Then he remembered Ami wanted to say something before Yaten called. But when he looked at the blue haired girl who was busy cleaning up some coffee she had spilled he decided to ask later. Ami seemed to be so deep in thought it made him wonder if something was wrong.

To be continued

Ah you probably all wanted to know what happened to Haruka and Kenji and then this mad woman (me) switched over to the crime lab. Po0r you , nah just kidding , I'll leave it up to you to guess what's going to happen. It isn't so hard to guess , either the whole factory is going to explode or not..And no people i'll give you this...Mamoru isn't the killer (he isn't allowed to show up in this story , he's to0 stupid) and well...i guess you all know it isn't Seiya unless he faked his dead...and it isn't Taiki either ! that leaves us with two guys...Yaten or Kenji ,omg I really should stop watcing police series ! Anyway let me know what you think !
