Rei and Usagi have been friends since as far as they could remember, even more than just friends, as far as Rei was concerned. They both grown up in poverty and had generally unhappy childhood. Rei's parents just disappeared one day, leaving her with her, always drunk, grandfather who beat her whenever he got the chance. Usagi's mother left her and her father soon after she was born, and never showed up again. Her father loved her very much. Even to much; he was raped her when she was 13 and day after he also left her with a little amount of money and letter of apology. Usagi and Rei, both desperate and unhappy, decided to run away together to Europe. But they needed money for two tickets and they needed some place to stay until then. Usagi found job in local café, and in exchange for sex with owner, the two of them got a small apartment to stay in. Usagi hated every moment of it, but dared not to refuse sex in fear of them being thrown out on the street, where they were easy target for maniacs of all kind. While Rei was ready to take their chances on street, Usagi was too frightened now, that the café owner will kill them both if they leave. There were only two choices for them left; leave everything the way it was or risk and run away. Rei found the third choice most suitable for them. One night she stole the gun from the drawer in the owner's room and hid behind the door. When he came in with Usagi, she shoot. She hit him in shoulder. She remembered vividly how the bullet hit the shoulder and went straight out, hitting the opposite wall. She remembered how the owner turned to face her, his face hidden in dark, but his eyes glowing with anger. She remembered Usagi covered with blood, screaming, pleading them both to stop. She remembered how all her anger and hatred toward that man, toward her parents and her grandfather, her hatred toward Usagi's dad, burst out as she shoot again and again and again. She remembered him falling on the ground; bloody lump of meat. And that's where her memory would come to a dead end. The rest she knew just from what Usagi told her.

When Mamoru finally came to police station, nobody was there but one lower police officer, who send him to crime scene, saying that everyone were already there, expecting him. He drove a lot faster than he was actually allowed to, in fear that the body will be exposed by the time he comes there. When he arrived, the body was still there, and so was his boss and many others. The body was found on an abandoned construction site, a little bit out of the city. He approached the body; a pretty girl in mid twenties was lying on low stone bench, her long brown hair falling on the floor. She was naked under the blanket, he knew. Only thing she had on herself was black earring. He pulled the blanket down and almost instantly pulled it up again; where on was her stomach, now was bloody red hole. He felt like vomiting, but managed to control himself and went toward his boss who was talking to Setsuna Mei'oh, police psychologist. He greeted them politely and his boss, a small round man in mid fifties grunted him a reply, while Setsuna smiled

"You're late Chiba"

"Sorry boss, won't happen again"

"You better. Have you seen the body?"

"Yes, I've seen it", Mamoru felt nausea rising in his stomach as he remembered the body.

"I still haven't. I'd better go check it out before those morons start touching the body and ruin evidences", out of nowhere came the voice of Michiru Kai'oh, the forensic.

He watched her as she approached to the body and as she pulled of the blanket. Her face turned white, just as he know it will, but not in his wildest dreams could he guess the real reason what surprised and shocked her that much.

"Hey, guys", she said in a low and trembling voice, "there is something you should see"
