At the dead of the night, like any other normal person, Saeko was deep asleep on her bed of her apartment. Never in her mind could she even imagine that someone will come searching for her at this hour of the night. The window pane of her dining was open to allow the gentle breeze of cold air. "Oh, what a peaceful slumber." He thought, and then suddenly a shrill cry echoed through the apartment at the dead of the night, "Hi Saeko Chan!" Saeko sprang from her bed but before she could even draw the revolver from under her pillow, she felt that there was a pair of strong hands that refrained her from moving, one hand encircled her waist, and the other hand was on her mouth, she couldn't speak out. She thought hard, but couldn't think about anything for a few moments, her mind was as blank as a white sheet of paper. Then thoughts started crossing her mind and a smile passed her lips, which turned to a hoarse cry. She sobbed badly. On the other hand, her so-called-kidnapper was a bit surprised with her attitude. With a damp voice and a tearful smiling face, she spoke "After all this time, Ryo? Is that truly you? So you know everything right? Falcon told you everything I guess? I am really sorry Ryo. Please forgive me. Please…" There was no answer. The person, to whom these words were spoken, was busy feeling her butt. Saeko sighed; it's been more than a year since a lady had been assaulted on the streets by this great womanizer. With a smiling face she kicked him straight between his legs. The result was as expected. There was a loud groan heard behind her, and the hands became loose. She turned back, it was really Ryo, but what she felt after that was an embarrassment for her. The lace of her night gown was open, accessing full view to her interiors! The lecher was lying unconscious on the ground after the fearsome attack on his groin. She quickly tied up her night gown. "Oh god, now I'll have to wake him up. It's great to see you so lively after all these days. Welcome back Ryo!" thought Saeko, but then suddenly a thought flickered in her mind – Why is he here at this hour of the night? What did Falcon tell him? When she was moving towards the dining table with a hope of finding a bottle of water in order to revive him back to his senses thinking all these, she suddenly heard his voice again "So how's crime in Shinjuku going? Seems good to me. What about you Saeko?" Saeko knew this voice too well, he isn't the perverted lecher who was lying unconscious on the floor a few moments ago. He is the calculative person, the City Hunter of Shinjuku! Saeko sat on the chair nearby for; she knew now, that there was no need for the water. She didn't even look at Ryo for once; she knew what she has to deal with now. Before she could even say anything Ryo spoke in the same cold manner with the smirk on his lips that was lost from him since the past year "I suddenly remembered something Saeko. And because of that I am here. My last job is still undone. After this, City Hunter will no longer be seen in and around Shinjuku." Saeko was shaking at her knees as she had the faint idea as to what his 'last job' might be. Her fears were proved when he spoke "It was no accident. Was it? She was lured and murdered, right Saeko?" Saeko couldn't speak, neither could she face him, she just nodded her head. "I want to know each and every detail of the incident. I don't care about the way, I just need to know. And the only person who can do this is you Saeko." Saeko sighed. She knew this day would come. She was patiently waiting for this day while preparing herself. She and Ryo both were in a concord for Kaori. She stood up on the chair, opened the small hatch on the wall above the door near the ceiling and drew out a file covered in polythene. She handed the file over to Ryo who was watching her carefully. As soon as he got the file, he opened it with such hastiness that it was evident to Saeko, how impatient he was, to see the details of this case. Never in her life have she seen him in such impatience for anyone or anything. His eyes, the sight of it sent a shiver down her spine. His eyes were burning with sadness and revenge. As soon as he swept a quick eye on the report, his eyes widened. "A 3d hologram projector? Eh? What does that mean? Don't tell me what I'm thinking is right. Ryo's legs shaked, he couldn't stand anymore, he sat on the hassock close by. His head was sunk, his voice was damp, but what Saeko saw, was enough for her blood to curdle. Ryo stood up, his head still sunk, his eyes were even scarier to look at, and for the first time in her life, Saeko saw tears strolling down from his eyes on to the floor. "Mark my words Saeko, Mark them…. That man is gonna pay dearly. I'm gonna give him the most harrowing death ever to be felt by a person. 'Killer: Unknown' you say? I am gonna find him, and when I do, he will regret having born. I promise." After finishing, he broke the apartment door open and stormed down to the street. Saeko couldn't go to sleep anymore. From what she saw, she was sure that a storm was coming over Shinjuku and she knew no way to stop that. She started dressing up as well. She turned her wrist over to see the time on her watch that she wore all the time; '3:22 AM' it showed. "It's nearly dawn" she thought, then hurried down to the street just like Ryo.
One more person was awake that whole night, The Old Doctor of Hanazano Clinic. He was having sleepless nights too just like the others, the reason was a bit different. There was an emergency patient in his clinic, one in a partial coma, brought in by the cops under absolute secrecy. He had no way of avoiding the patient because of his personal reasons too. He was busy reading the progress history of the patient when he heard some people running through the street. He looked at his watch, it showed '3:30 AM.' With each passing second, the sound increased and finally came to a stop at the door of his clinic on the first floor. He looked around, but Tomo Chan was nowhere near. She was seen deep asleep on one of the beds of the clinic. "Ah my dear, so you're here sleeping? Don't mind it, I'll get that" he thought and proceeded towards the door. "Who is it at this hour of the night? What does he want now? Can't I rest even for a minute of the day?" he muttered and opened the door. But what he saw was beyond his imagination! Umibozu, Miki and Saeko were standing behind the door. Miki had a tearful face but it was evident that she was happy. "Doc, they know everything. I've told them everything. Take us there" said Saeko. "So the secret is no longer a secret huh?" he peeked over their shoulders. Umibozu snapped "What are you looking for doc? That idiot has no idea about all this. He is uninvited here. Now kindly take us there." The old doctor's face became grim. He wanted the 'uninvited' to see the patient, but he had no other way. He was strictly forbidden to talk about this patient with anyone. Not even Him. The Old Doctor knew very well how happy he'd be if he knew about this patient but he had no way of giving him this news. With a sad face, he told them to wait. He went in, brought in a key, closed the door behind him carefully such that Tomo Chan mustn't wake up and then led them down to the ground floor through the same stairs that they had climbed to reach him. When they finished climbing the stairs, he led them at the base of the staircase. There was a door seen, he opened it with his own fingerprint and then they all went in
