"Allow me to introduce myself, Mrs. Hattori. My name is Sansuke Kawanishi, I am your husband's subordinate ..."

With alacrity and eyes full of suspicion, Kazuha immediately pulled Hiro and Kana away from Kawanishi and hide them behind her body.

"Mrs. Hattori, don't do that! You treat me as if I'm a bad guy and just kidnapped your children!".

"You are just kidnapped my children!" Kazuha answered while glaring furiously as Hiro and Kana looked alternately and anxiously at their mother and Uncle Kawanishi.

Kawanishi was stunned for a moment. Apparently he didn't expect Kazuha to answer like that. Inhale several times and tried to stay calm and patient, Kawanishi forced himself to smile.

"You must be misunderstood, Mrs. Hattori. I am here to protect your children. And since you are here too, I will also protect you as well. Isn't your husband saying he can't pick up your children, because he must hunt a fugitive?".

"And how do I know that you're not that fugitive, hah?!" Kazuha quickly interrupted Kawanishi's words.

Better to be keep on guard. After all, from some stories, it is precisely the person like Kawanishi, is the villain. There's nothing wrong learning from experience, eh?

However, unfortunately, both Kazuha and her two children didn't pay attention when Kawanishi clenched his fists tightly.

'Bitch! I'll kill her later!'

But he must be extra patient and control himself thus he will not attract attention, since Kazuha's behavior and reaction towards him already make the people around them suspicious.

He looked around him.

Yep! Just as expected! Some people around them, began to turn around and pay attention to them, even though there were also some who only glanced for a moment before they back to minding their own business.

'Too many witnesses here ...'

However, Kawanishi also already prepared himself for any possibilities that would prevent him, just like this. No need to panic.

Still smiling but with a strange smile, Kazuha clearly didn't like to see it, Kawanishi walked over to Kazuha, who now looked scared and held the hands of Hiro and Kana who were now hiding behind her, tighter.

"Don't come near us, or I'll scream!" Kazuha hissed like a snake, warning him.

Strangely, instead of being intimidated, Kawanishi's smile was even more horrible than before.

Then, a second later ...

"Ha-ah!" Kazuha gasped in shock because without her guessing, so that she didn't have time to anticipate, Kawanishi shocked her with a stun gun.

Kawanishi quickly catch Kazuha's body which was starting to stumble forward, and even pretended to ask "Mrs. Hattori, are you all right?" as if Kazuha suddenly fainted, remembering she's six months pregnant.

In the past, she'd also been shocked with a stun gun once. It's been a long time, when she was still a teenage girl, and was with Heiji, accompanying him in finding a spider goddess or something like that. But, at that time, she didn't have children she had to protect, like now.

Remembering Hiro and Kana, and driven by her instincts as a mother to protect her children, Kazuha fought hard against her pain and awareness which slowly began to fade away as she tried to grab her toddlers who were crying in fear.

"Uukh!" Kazuha finally fainted, when Kawanishi once again shocked her, because he felt she was still aware.

After he's sure Kazuha was completely unconscious, Kawanishi turned to the two poor, frightened toddlers "Kids, it looks like your mother's sick. Come with me, I'll take her to the hospital!".

"Will she ... Will she be all right?".

Both Hiro and Kana were too young to realize the meaning of a strange smile on Kawanishi's face.

"Definitely. With the two of you, it will make things better!".

Oh yes! Much better ...


Heiji Hattori doesn't like this. Really doesn't like this!

Their car leads to a road that he knows very well, the road where Hiro and Kana school are located!

Don't tell him that the location of the dangerous fugitive they are hunting is around here!

Heiji checked his watch.

Oh God! No! Not now! Now is the time for school to over. And he told Kazuha to pick up their children, so that means ... that means ...

"Calm down, Heiji! Everything will be fine!" As if reading his son's mind, suddenly Heizo Hattori spoke to calm him down.

Calm down ...

Of course, it's easy for his father to talk like that!

Yes, for his father, Kazuha, Hiro and Kana are his grandchildren and daughter-in-law. But for Heiji, they are his world, his everything!

As a father and husband, Heiji is definitely not calm until he really knows, there's no danger come near his family! Moreover, Kazuha is now pregnant! Just thinking about it, Heiji almost went crazy!

Heiji was just about to protest his father, when he realized that his father was actually furious. His jaw was hardened, although he still sat calmly.

"Dad, are you ... Are you sure this is the place? The ... right place?" Heiji prayed silently so his father would answer 'no'.

Instead of answering Heiji's question, Heizo opened his notebook to recheck the portrait of the villain they were hunting.

Sansuke Kawanishi ...

It's true that he's a former of Hattoris subordinate. One of the most accomplished personnel, even. Why did he change direction and now instead becomes a sadistic killer, Heizo can't answer it.

"We're here!".

The place was nothing like a hideout of a dangerous criminal. What made Heiji more dislike it, the place was very close to the kindergarten where Hiro and Kana attended school.

"Quickly sterilize the surrounding area! Evacuate people if necessary!" Heizo ordered one of his trusted men, Otaki.

"Yes, Sir!".

"He's so smart to chose a densely populated settlement as a hideout!" Heizo mumbled to himself while quickly studying the building he believed as Kawanishi's hiding place.

Heizo then glanced at Heiji. He couldn't describe the expression on his son's face.

"Focus, Heiji! Don't think of anything else!".

Heiji swallowed nervously. This is the first time he was afraid when he was about to caught a villain.

No, he's not afraid of the villain. But somehow, Heiji had a bad feeling.

Heiji shook his head firmly, expelling his bad feeling. No! As his father said, he must focus!

"Sir, we have sterilized the location, as you ordered!" Otaki came to report.

"Thank you, Otaki! All right then, everyone, prepare to invade!".

They stormed in like a storm and found the man they were looking for, was sitting calmly in front of a round table.

It's just that, he's not alone.

"Ah! I know you will come. Come on, please sit down! Maybe we can enjoy a cup of tea first?" he asked in a mocking tone.

Heiji failed to notice that actually on the table there'd been a teapot with a few small cups, and also a plate of biscuits.

His eyes widened in horror as he stared at who was with the bastard. Kazuha who was unconscious, and his two children, who were trembling with fear. They are all tied in the chairs next to him.

"Daddy ..."

"Grandpa ..."

Hiro and Kana whined with fear, when they saw their father and grandfather.

Seeing Heizo and Heiji's reaction, Kawanishi grinned triumphantly "It seems you already know each other! So, shall we begin?".
