"Shall we begin?".

Heiji's body was still stiff, his brain hadn't been able to decide what he was going to do, when a strong and sturdy body stood before him, blocking his view from that goddamn bastard who was now holding his wife and his twin children as hostages.

His father.

Heizo Hattori seemed to have a hunch that his son could no longer think clearly, he could kill him.

To be honest, Heizo actually is also struggling to control himself, he's also furious. Luckily Toyama, Kazuha's father, didn't come with them. Heizo obviously won't be able to handle two fathers who are running amok.

Kawanishi grinned "Why are you two still standing there? Come here, have a seat! No, wait! After I think again, it's better if you just keep standing there and ..." Slowly Kawanishi's hand approached Kazuha's face which was still unconscious, he's about to stroke her cheek.

"DON'T TOUCH HER! Keep your fucking shit hand from my wife!" Heiji shouted very loudly, shocking everyone in the room, except Kazuha, since she still fainted.

Stunned for a moment, Kawanishi finally regained control of himself "My, my! Mister Heiji Hattori ..." He said in a mocking and sickening voice. "Shouldn't you not say rude words in front of your children? Look, you scared them! Tsk! You're a bad father, Mr. Hattori!".

It's true, Hiro and Kana look scared. But Heiji was one hundred percent sure, his children weren't afraid of his shout.

"Don't mess with me, bastard! I'm gonna ..." Heiji had taken a step forward, when a burly arm prevented him from going any further.

"Enough, Heiji!" The father said, rebuking the son.

Heizo Hattori's charisma is indeed amazing. In the midst of tension like this, he's the control holder.

His son, Heiji, clearly can't control himself like him, although Heizo can understand it, since the hostages are his children and his pregnant wife but still, self-control and calmness are needed in dealing with unwanted situations like now.

Besides, panic and anger will only satisfy the villains. Indeed, that is one of their goals. Psychologically, that means the villains win. It's a big no no!

Heizo turned to face Kawanishi. "Sansuke Kawanishi, what happened? Why did you do this? You are one of the best cops we have!".

Kawanishi grinned "I already know your tactics. Pretending to be sympathetic to outwit my attention, that won't work for me! Why do you think I became a police officer for?" Kawanishi then laughed out loud like a crazy maniac, as if he had just made a very funny joke, though no one laughed with him.

"You are crazy!" Heiji hissed softly, which, miraculously, spontaneously stopped Kawanishi's mad laughter and now he stared angrily at Heiji and Heizo.

"Hmph!" Kawanishi smirked mockingly. "You just called me crazy, you're right! And now I'll show you what this crazy man will do!".

As fast as lightning, Kawanishi grabbed Kana who was sitting to his right.

"Kyaaa! Nooo! Daddy! Hiro! Grandpa!" The toddler screamed in fear.

"Hah!".

"KANA!".

"Let her go! Let her go!" Hiro's short legs kicked towards Kawanishi in vain.

However, the three Hattoris were immediately silent while glaring in horror as Kawanishi put a dagger in front of Kana's neck. Its sharp blade, glittering in the light.

"Eits! Nobody move! I could accidentally slice this little girl's throat!".

"No, don't!" Heiji spontaneously begged. Fuck the psychological rules that make the villains feel like they are winning! His daughter's life is at stake!

Seeing the dagger in front of her throat, Kana's breath was like a person running a marathon.

"Da-Daddy ..." She whimpered weakly, making Heiji's brain unable to think anything.

"Ooh?" Kawanishi hummed in an annoying tone. "Has Mister Heiji Hattori just ... begged? Hmm ... Not bad. I like you begging me. Do it again!".

"Coward! Make a toddler as hostage! And you call yourself a man, you sissy?! Face me as a man, bastard!".

"Don't you dare to pretend to be a hero! What about you, hah?! The two of you ..." In a brash manner, Kawanishi pointed at Heizo and Heiji alternately, with his hand that holding the dagger. "Has killed my fiancee and also my child in her womb! And I need to add, cruelly, you heartless monsters!".

"What are you talking about? What fiancee?" Frustrated, Heiji almost pulled out hair on his head.

Not answering Heiji's question, Kawanishi kept to chatter.

"Since that day, for years I've held grudges against you. But I know I won't be able to defeat you, you are very famous for being too genius. Knowing the sickening reality, I was really depressed and wanted to end my life at that time. Then, when I was about to hang myself, a brilliant idea suddenly appeared. I can still get my revenge ... by becoming a police officer!" Kawanishi glanced at Heizo and Heiji with vengeful eyes.

Unconsciously, Heiji swallowed hard, while his father narrowed his eyes which was already narrow. Kawanishi just joined about three years ago. Maybe if Heizo could remember one of the important incident at the time, then he could find out who the fiancee is and also what Kawanishi meant that they had killed his fiancee.

"Fortunately I'm a patient person. But, now, finally ... Finally I can avenge Rumi and our unborn child!".

Heizo and Heiji spontaneously flinched. Their instincts say, this is the time when usually the villains will kill ...

Oh God! Please don't!

"Goodbye, little girl. I promise, I will do it quickly, so you don't have time to feel the pain!".

"NO!".

"STOP!".

Heizo and Heiji shouted at the same time, while Hiro and Kana closed their eyes.

Poor Kana, she was resigned to her fate and too scared to shout. She just waited for the pain to hit her little throat but, it never happened.

"Heyaaaa!".

First, Kana actually heard her mother's voice. Then, instead of pain, Kana felt her body now flying ...

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Heeeelp!".

Then she heard a loud thud, even though she landed in a soft place.

Wait a minute ... A soft place?

Hesitatingly, Kana opened her eyes, and found that she's now in her father's arms.

"Kana! Baby, are you all right?".

Kana was stunned for a moment, just staring at her father, and then ...

"U-u ... Huweeee ... Daddy! I'm so scared!" Like a baby ape, Kana hung around Heiji's neck.

But, wait! What really happened? Kana's very sure she heard her mother's voice before she ...

Kana jumped in surprise as she heard four gunshots followed by the sound of running feet rushed in.

"Target has been disarmed! I repeat, the target has been successfully disarmed!".

Kawanishi, who was shot in both his legs and arms, stared unbelievably at Kazuha Hattori, who somehow managed to free herself from the rope that tied her. Not only that, this pregnant woman also just ... slammed him? Seriously? With her stomach at the size of a balloon?

"You! But how can ... How can you ..."

"Never underestimate a mother's instinct in protecting her children! Nobody can hurt my children!" She even now already released Hiro from the rope that tied him.

"KAZUHA!" While carrying Kana, Heiji immediately ran towards his wife.

"Ah! Heiji!".

"Otaki, bring this bastard to my office! I'll interview him, with pleasure!".

"Yes, Sir!" Otaki saluted Heizo, then escorted Kawanishi out along with several police officers.

"Heiji, we ..." Heizo did not continue his words, when he saw Heiji hugging and kissing his family one by one.

Smiling, Heizo was about to turn around, leaving Heiji and his little family alone, when he heard a collapsing sound, then his son and his grandchildren shouted in unison.

"Ka-Kazuha? Kazuha? Oi, Kazuha?".

"Mommy!".

"Mommy!".

Heizo rushed over to Heiji, when he heard his daughter-in-law moaning in pain, while holding her pregnant stomach.

Fresh blood flowed down from her feet.
