There was a long intolerable silence, after which a female voice spoke "Hello Great City Hunter! I've heard rumours about you, but never in my life did I have the privilege of seeing you face to face."
Ryo knew the voice too well to have mistaken it for anyone else but Kaori's. "But why does her voice sound so lifeless?" he thought.
Ryo brow darkened and his face bore a devilish smirk – "Fujimaki Masashi, I presume?" he said
The voice on the other end had changed. It was not a female voice anymore. A male had taken its place. "I'm impressed. After all, it's the great City Hunter who I'm talking to! I would've expected nothing less than this. You like games I presume?"
Ryo stopped him midway, "Leave her out of this, and we can play all you want!"
The voice on the other end laughed heartily and said "Oh, How can I do so? After all, she is the prize!"
Ryo couldn't keep his cool any longer, he shouted at the top of his lungs "Damn you Whoever you are! Just wait till I get my hands on you and you'll wish you'd never born!
The voice laughed again, "Well, so I take the challenge Mr. City Hunter! Find me within 2 days and you get to see her again. If not…. Well let's see what can you do?" A cruel laughter followed, and there was a sound of a kiss heard on the other end after which the call got disconnected.
Ryo still clutched the receiver close to his ears and after a while put it down. His stout figure resembled that of a depressed man.

Somewhere in Shinjuku Kaori was standing in the middle of a well-furnished room. She couldn't understand why all this was happening to her. She could recognize the person sitting on the bed and talking to someone on the telephone. It was Fujimaki Masashi alright, but why was she smiling at him? She wanted to run away from this place, she wanted to be near Ryo badly. It's only been a day she got to be with Ryo; still, that day seemed a past long ago. Suddenly she saw him calling her and she followed. She could feel that every muscle of her body were working against her will. She was in no position to oppose his commands. As she went near, he kissed her on her lips and gave her a paper to read aloud. When he kissed her, she was irritated, but suddenly she recalled something and her legs froze. What if Ryo misunderstands her? What if Ryo fails to understand her situation? Nonetheless she could feel her body responding to the kiss, yet in her mind, Kaori shrieked with pain and anger. She could do nothing to stop this man, tears strolled down her cheeks. She then read the paper aloud….. What! It's Ryo? The paper read "Hello Great City Hunter! I've heard rumours about you, but never in my life did I have the privilege of seeing you face to face." What is that? "City Hunter"? It was Ryo! Yes it was! It had to be. But Kaori couldn't get to hear Ryo's voice because the moment she finished reading it, Fujimaki took the receiver from her hands. One of his hands was busy holding the receiver close to his left ear while the other encircled her waist. Had Kaori been in her normal self, She swore she would've killed him but considering the present situation, that seemed impossible an option. All she could do was to cry within her mind and wished to be free again.

As soon as Ryo kept the receiver down, he felt a hand on his shoulder. As he turned back, to his dismay, he saw Miki san was looking at him with tearful eyes. Her right hand was on his left shoulder, Behind her, Umibozu stood with a stern look on his face. Ryo's gaze turned towards Saeko was silently observing him from couch in the sitting room. He exclaimed "You told them didn't you, Saeko?"
Saeko answered with a lit-up face "Guilty as charged Ryo! I thought that they might be able to help you. After all, no one here knows you better than Falcon. Am I right Falcon?"
Umibozu seemed to be furious. He was fuming with anger. "You didn't think it important to tell us about this incident Ryo?"
Even Miki san was with him, she stood with a hard face. "I didn't expect this from you of all people, Ryo!"
Ryo was silent, it was evident that he was thinking deeply. Seeing this Umibozu stopped Miki and came forward to pat Ryo on his shoulder. "It was the kidnapper on the phone, isn't it?" he asked.
Ryo was to lost in thoughts to tell anything.
