HEY EVERYONE! I know, been a while right? Please forgive me for taking such time to upload such a short chapter. I tried and tried and while I could've made the chapter longer, in the end, I felt that the ending I gave this part was quite perfect. Or, not exactly perfect but fitting rather.
Anyway, as always, I beg all of you to please leave a review. I do want to know what are your thoughts, predictions or even some advice as to what to do. I swear, no review is left unread.
I hope you enjoy

Chapter 5: I'll be in touch!
GOGO
"Is Leiko Tanaka here?" A man stepped forward into the lab. He was being followed by two other bulkier men who, Hiro guessed, were bodyguards.
Hiro, being on the other side of the room knew very well that both he and Gogo were concealed from the unknown man's sight. Something was amiss though and he was able to tell right away that this was no good. His girlfriend had tensed up, the color that had him flushing mere seconds ago had drained from her face magically.
Who was this man? What history did he and Gogo share for her to act this way? So many questions but his rather protective nature jumped in. Grasping both of her hands, Hiro forced her to look into his eyes in an attempt to calm her down.
"Everything is going to be alright! Okay?" Hiro promised, stroking the palms of her hands.
"Honey Lemon! Please watch over her, I will see what this dude wants." Hiro said, leaving Gogo's best friend the work of calming down the speedster.
"Stay Here." Hiro whispered to Gogo as he stood up from his chair and walked towards the man.
"Does anybody here know who Leiko Tanaka is?" The man asked again, a little harsher this time.
"Yes! Me, I know her."
"Ah, Finally!" The man proudly walked towards the boy as if he owned the place. The bodyguards following so in the same manner.
"Good afternoon…" The man stretched his arm.
"Hiro." The boy replied stretching his arm too.
"Hiro!" The man continued, shaking hands with the boy. "Right. Now, Could you please tell me where may I find Leiko?"
"I am really sorry but she's not here right now." Hiro said trying to remain calm before the imposing image of the man. "She left a while ago and don't know where."
The man sighed. "Shame. And perhaps do you know where she lives?"
Now, that was an easy question for the boy for he himself didn't know where Gogo lived. Which was curious but that is a question for another moment. "I am really sorry but I have never been to her house."
"Of course, that was a dumb question regarding her."
At this point, Hiro obviously was able to make the assumption that this mysterious man knew his girlfriend. Ha, his girlfriend. Hiro was still trying to process what has happened the last week but that wasn't important now.
"It seems you know Leiko quite well."
"Oh I do young fella." He smiled. Chills ran through Hiro's spine as the strangers stare pierced through him.
"You know where is she don't you?" he came closer. "Would you be so kind to tell me?" His smile growing wicked by the second.
"I swear I don't" Hiro looked away, unconsciously revealing her position.
"THERE!" He purred. As if a cat had found its prey.
Pain, fear, panic. Hiro's instincts kicked in the moment he realized his mistake. "No wait!"
SMACK
His face felt numb after the punch. The room filled with gasps
"HIRO!" Gogo yelled but was stopped by the man.
"Hello there!" he hissed.
"What do you want?" her unusual sexy attire catching the stranger's eyes.
"My my, are you always this rude?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Gogo stepped up from her chair, shorter than the man but capable of many things.
"The man laughed. "YES! Yes, this is what I've came looking for." She felt his eyes roam her figure. Feeling disgusted by, clearly, not so sane intentions. "He was right, you'll be perfect."
The man signaled for the other bodyguard. The taller man came closer to her and grabbed her arm.
"WHAT ARE YOU?" Gogo yelled before swiftly landing a punch on her assailant.
"I don't care who you are, I don't care what you came for but if you touch me or him again, you are in for a world of pain."
"Oh really?" he smiled, signaling again.
SMACK
The shriek that came from Hiro changed something in her. She had never felt such lust for blood in her life. The mere sight of the poor boy on the ground, holding his face in pain. She was…
"YOU SON OF A…"
SMACK
Another yell from Hiro. She stopped right in her tracks as she saw the bulgier man grabbing Hiro by the shirt.
"So, a world of pain right?" The man grinned. "I haven't felt anything yet."
Gogo was about to stop herself from coming closer but movement in the back of the crowd informed her that reinforcements had arrived.
"WHAT IS GOING ON!" she heard Wasabi yell.
"'Sabi! Help Hiro!"
"On it."
"Now." She smiled. "Ready for the world of pain?"
The man started glancing around, Hiro out of his reach, being carried away by a skinny teen. His henchmen locked in a fistfight with the one called wasabi.
The man giggled. "I love the guts you have kid, but you are only delaying the inevitable."
The man came closer to her, his face awfully close to her. "I know who you are, and we both know who I work for." The man hissed to her ear.
"If you don't want anything to happen to the boy, you will follow this instructions thoroughly." The man stepped away, fixing his suit whilst doing so. "Are we clear?"
"I'LL BE IN TOUCH!" the man yelled once more before stepping out of the lab with his henchmen in tow.
Her body came crashing on the floor after what felt like days of fighting. Her heart was burning but for a completely different reason. She stood up with regained strength and rushed in the direction she last saw Fred. Her instincts were right as she walked off the elevator to a cacophony of worried voices that came from Hiro's lab.
"HIRO!" she crashed into the room.
"He is okay!" Said wasabi.
Gogo stepped forward, her heart lunging to an unknowing pit as her eyes cruised through the unconscious body of the boy that was laying on a table. "How's he?" She said, closing in to HL who was preparing something with her purse.
"He will be fine, how are you? I wonder."
"I…"
"Who were they?"
"I don't know…"
