"I want to meet Kazuha Hattori!".
Nobody reacted. So quiet, they can even clearly hear the clockwork that moving every second.
Tik-Tik-Tik-Tik-Tik-Tik ...
One second, two seconds ...
"WHUAAT?!".
Like a wild lion, Ginshiro Toyama angrily jumped towards Kawanishi, about to strike him, if not because he was blocked by Hattori and Otaki.
"Let me go, let me go! I have to teach this damn bastard manners!".
"Hey, hey, hey, Toyama! Toyama, control yourself! Calm down!".
"Calm down?! How could you tell me to calm down after that?! Let me go, Heizo! I'll sew his mouth so that he can't talk again forever! I said let me go!".
Although he's not as aggressive as Toyama, but this time Heizo agreed with him.
Kawanishi is indeed outrageous! Did he realize what he just said? He asked to meet Kazuha? Is he crazy? Well, come to think about it, he is indeed crazy. A sane person certainly won't do what he did.
"Toyama!" Heizo hissed, half begging because Toyama was still struggling to free himself.
"Please! Don't make me hurt you! I don't like it and I'm sure you won't like it either!". But Toyama wasn't afraid or even care with Heizo's threats. What he cares about and wants to do now, is just to silencing the bastard in front of him. This fucking kidnapper and murderer!
Meanwhile with Kawanishi, as if not seeing and hearing how Toyama reacted, or indeed he deliberately ignored it, Kawanishi calmly continued his request "Hurry! I don't have much time left. You know it too, don't you?".
The irritating answer uttered as if without the slightest guilt that slid smoothly from Kawanishi's lips, made Toyama even more angry. "What a coincidence! Then, I'll speed up your time with pleasure ..."
But surprisingly, Heizo interrupted his words. "Why do you want to meet our daughter? What else do you want?".
Heizo's unexpected question, spontaneously stopped Toyama from struggling. Inevitably, he was also curious.
Initially, Kawanishi opened his mouth to answer. But then, he closed it again before even saying a word. Impatiently, Toyama raised his eyebrows, challenging him to answer Heizo's question, but the answer he got was only ...
"It's a secret! Only Kazuha Hattori can hear it!". Kawanishi answered casually but firmly. He even had the chance to wink!
Dear Lord! Please give him extra patience because it looks like Toyama had run out of blood, since all the single drops of his blood had boiled and evaporated, and he will go crazy if he doesn't kick his ass now!
Hmph! After hearing that sickening answer, now even Heizo won't forbid him to beat ...
"With one condition. Only if she is willing to meet you!".
He can only gaped in surprise.
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Heizo! Look, this is not right! Have you forgotten? He just kidnapped and took Kazuha, Hiro and Kana as hostages! He also made Kazuha ..." Toyama was unable to continue his words, he breathed repeatedly to control himself.
The two of them were walking from Kawanishi's room, leaving him under Otaki's guard and another police officer, heading for Kazuha's room, of course with so much effort, after they managed to persuade Toyama to come out of Kawanishi's room and leave him still alive.
To be honest, Toyama couldn't understand why Heizo answered like that.
It feels like now he also wants to beat this Chief Hattori, if not he remembered that besides they were family, after all, as a member of the police, Toyama had to always obey his superintendent, even if when the command doesn't make sense, just like now.
"This is not right!" he repeated. Begging, more precisely. "Please! You can't ... You can't do this to Kazuha!".
"Toyama! I know this is difficult for you, but believe me, I have a feeling that this must happen!".
It's easy for Heizo to say that. Kazuha isn't his biological daughter! Of course this is hard for him! After all, who's father is willing to leave his daughter with someone who's already proven to hurt her? No one, right? Well, that was what Toyama felt now. He's now upset with Heizo.
"I don't think Heiji will allow it ..."
At this, Heizo didn't answer because he knew Toyama was right.
After what happened to his family, Heiji would not even let Kawanishi live much longer, despite the fact, he's now dying, let alone allow him to talk to Kazuha.
Yet, somehow, Heizo trusted his instincts that tell him that at least he had to give Kawanishi a chance. That, if he managed to persuade and convince Heiji, since Toyama had already more than enough complain to him so he wouldn't bring Kawanishi and Kazuha together.
"I'm sure Heiji won't allow this!" Once again Toyama repeated his words, this time with confidence while half scaring Heizo, as he opened the door to his daughter's room.
Heizo still hasn't answered. His narrow eyes stared at the two figures who seemed to be sleeping in the dimly lit room. He took a deep breath before entering the room.
Well, they will soon know the answer.
Apparently it was Heiji who was sleeping. Kazuha had just been awake when both fathers entered her room.
"Dad? What's wrong? Is everything okay?" She asked in a weak hoarse voice.
"Kazuha! Sweetie!" Not expecting his daughter to be awake, Toyama immediately approached the bed where she lay.
"Shh! You will wake Heiji!" She reminded her father not to be noisy, while stroking her sleeping husband's head on the side of her bed. Kazuha knew, it's not just her who needs to rest. Heiji too. It was precisely her husband who was far more tired and hurt than she was. Only, he didn't say it.
Heizo, who hadn't said anything, finally spoke "How are you feeling now, Kazuha-chan? I'm sorry about ..."
Kazuha raised one hand to stop her father-in-law from speaking. "It's okay, Father. But, please, don't talk about it anymore ..."
She doesn't mean to be rude. It's just that she can't bear to talk about her miscarriage. Thank God her father-in-law is a wise person. He nodded in understanding without asking anymore.
Heizo then glanced at Toyama, who turned out that Toyama was also staring at him and worse, Kazuha also caught suspicious eye movements from both of her fathers.
"Is there something you want to say to me?".
"Huh? O-oh ... Nothing! Well, yeah, actually, there is. But ... We think we should tell Heiji first. As your husband, he will make the decision ..."
Kazuha's eyes narrowed suspiciously. It's unusual, her brave father stuttered like this.
"This is about me?".
Toyama looked at his daughter. "Well ... Yes!".
"But you can't tell me? It has to go through Heiji first?".
"Uh ..." Toyama didn't know what to do or say. He turned to Heizo with a desperate look, which seemed to say silently, help me!
"Kazuha-chan, you just experienced a traumatic event. You are still shaken. We will tell Heiji. Let him make the best decision for you!".
After receiving 'help' from Heizo, Toyama is now more confident in calming his daughter. "It's okay! Don't worry, Sweetheart! Everything is alright. Now, you just need to take a rest to recover quickly!".
Even though she wasn't satisfied with the answer, Kazuha knew, there's no point in arguing with the two fathers. Clearly they conspired and agreed that they wouldn't tell her anything, before they told Heiji.
Hmm? By the way, about telling Heiji, suddenly Kazuha remembered something important.
Incidentally, both of her fathers are here and her husband is sleeping. She has one important request, which her husband would never have been agree to grant so, this is her only chance.
"Dad?".
"Hmm? What is it, Sweetheart?".
Kazuha took turns looking at her father and father-in-law, she hesitated for a moment.
"The man ... The man who did this ..." Kazuha swallowed nervously. There's a bit of fear in her to say it, because it is indeed ridiculous and unreasonable.
Meanwhile Heizo and Toyama looked at each other. They seemed to be experiencing deja vu.
Could it be ... She asked for ...
"Please don't get me wrong! But ..." Kazuha continued her words, her voice trembled. "The man who did this ... I'd like to meet him!".
