The Abduction.
10 am. The five Zodiac members arrived at the archeologist's residence in the outskirts of -----, via the PC, which was left open. Ohitsujiza was the first to come out, surveying the
residence. Seeing that security is low, Ohitsujiza motions the others to come out, saying that the cost is clear. The four other Zodiac members then went out of the PC, and his
themselves so that they can take the archeologist's family by surprise.
10 minutes later, the archeologist returned to the computer table to save his work, but before he was about to shut down the PC, To-Rasu immediately aimed his card reader, his
sub-machine gun, at the archeologist's forehead. The archeologist was taken by surprise, wondering how they managed to get in, since he always locked the doors. "Mr. Johnny
Walker, we are an organization that would change the world. We are here for the book that you discovered in Egypt, the never-before-seen book that holds the secrets to achieve
eternal life. Please be a good gentleman and hand it over.". However, since the archeologist knew that the British Library will do anything, and use any means to get their hands on
the book, and knowing the British Library's true agenda, he gave the book to Yumiko Readman for safekeeping (the archeologist and Readman met a few years ago before events
leading to the OVA of R.O.D.). "I-I'm sorry. I gave the book to someone else already. Are you from the British Library?" the archeologist asked. To-Rasu wasn't sure if the
archeologist was lying or not, but answered the question anyway. "No. We are from a higher power. Far more superior than the British Library that possesses. Now, if what you
say is true, where can we find it?" To-Rasu decided to ride along with the archeologist to see if he was stalling. "I-in…India.". Otomeza knew the archeologist was lying. She then
stabbed her card reader, which was in a form of a naginata, into the archeologist's thigh, near his groin area. The archeologist cried in pain. "My comrades are getting impatient, Mr.
Walker. India doesn't have that much resources in safeguarding that kind of book.". Then screams were heard, as Iteza and Mizugameza were dragging the archeologist's wife and
daughter by their hair. To-Rasu then recalled what the Joker instructed them to do: If the archeologist refused to cooperate with them, kidnap their daughter to pressure the
archeologist to give them the book. Mizugameza then began to twist the child's arms, causing her to cry in pain. The mother pleaded to the intruders to stop. To-Rasu then turned to
the archeologist and said, "You have 72 hours to turn over that book to us. If by the time you don't turn over that book to us…". But the archeologist pleaded with To-Rasu.
"Please. Give me seven days. It's in the care of someone else. I'll do what you say. Just don't harm my child.". To-Rasu then glanced at his allies. They all seem to nod in
agreement. Ohitsujiza then came forward and said, "No cops, no agents, and no detectives. You break any of those rules, the…Kamen Riders will tear your little angel apart piece
by piece, and we'll deliver it to you in several parcels, with a little itsy-bitsy blood dripping…". The archeologist's wife was horrified, and knowing that these armored intruders
were not kidding around, she pleaded to her husband to cooperate so that their child would be released. The archeologist agreed to the intruders' terms. Mizugameza and Iteza then
threw the archeologist and his wife towards the dining room, and left. As the husband and wife got up, a light flashed. They then went to the source, which was where his PC was
stationed. They were then surprised that the intruders and their daughter disappeared. The archeologist then saw a small bomb was affixed onto the computer, and he and his wife
run. The bomb exploded, but it only damaged the PC, and it attracted a lot of attention. The archeologist made excuses to quell off curious onlookers and neighbors. After that the
archeologist and his wife were crying, and were in crisis, since their daughter was taken away. Although he suspect that the British Library were behind this, he wasn't sure now,
since the armored kidnappers claimed that they are not from the BL, and instead they serve someone else. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to call the very person he could trust,
the one who is safekeeping the sought-after book.
Tokyo, 7 am EST. Yumiko Readman was talking with Morihiko Dan on where they could find a temporary school to hold classes for the DDS students. At present they were
looking for a school, and a good place where they can attract many potential students with potentials to be a good detective. Yumiko's mobile phone rang, and she answered it.
She was happy at first when she realized that it was Johnny Walker, the archeologist she met while in an expedition in Egypt seven years ago. However, her mood changed when
the archeologist told her the events that happened. Yumiko was suspicious when the so-called "Kamen Riders" were after the book. She then asked the archeologist if the "Kamen
Riders" have symbols in their belts, that resembles astrological signs. The archeologist said that the one in a green armor has a symbol of a bull. "To-Rasu." Yumiko thought.
Nevertheless, Yumiko said "Ok. I'll send one of my trusted confidants to deliver the book at your home in three days. There all of you will discuss on how to get your daughter out
safely as well as chasing away the so-called Riders.". After that, they both cut off their lines. Yumiko then told Morihiko Dan about the situation. "What! ". Dan was surprised that
the Zodiac have seemed to relocate their base of operations. Yumiko nodded, but ruled out that the Zodiac resettled there. Yumiko wondered why the Zodiac became interested in
acquiring such a rare book. She then wondered if the British Library had something to do with this. She ten called Maggie and Michelle, who were still engrossed with the Sherlock
Holmes books. Yumiko then told the two about the situation, and told them to brace themselves as they might encounter some very battle-hungry Zodiac members in Scotland.
While Maggie and Michelle went home to prepare their things, Yumiko then went to a secret place to retrieve the book that the archeologist asked her to hide.
