Here's the next chapter, I felt bad cause I haven't updated in a while. So enjoy. All comments are appreciated.

Thank god today was Saturday. I was in dire need of a shopping day, I was currently all ready to go shopping with Neela. I was looking forward to some girl time plus I was also planning to tell her about the run in I had with Morimoto, which I was still very confused and disturbed about.

The door knock,

"Just a minute."I called

I ran to the door and opened to Neela who was as usual was looking gorgeous in a short dress with a fur coat over top and pair of boots next to her I felt very plain. I was wearing a tight pair of skinny jeans, and an oversized sweater with a high silver pair of wedges.

"Hey, you ready to go" she asked.

"Yep sure, let's go." I said grabbing my hand bag.

Neela drove us to the mall in her very fast car, at one point I found myself gripping on to my seat much to her amusement.

We walked around the busy shopping mall, we laughed and tried on matching clothes. After a few hours of this are feet started to ache so we decided to get lunch at a small restaurant.

We sat down at a table in the back of the overcrowded restaurant.

"Look Neela, something weird happened the other day." I started not sure how to proceed, what actually had happened he followed me, stalked me, or just happened to pass by?

"Weird what do you mean? What happened" she said as the food was served out in front of us.

"Well, the other day when you left early for the races, I was walking towards the train station when Morimoto came up to me." I said

She choked on the noodle she was eating.

"What! Are you ok? What happened?" she all but yelled.

"Yes I'm fine, one minute I was walking next minute his car was following me. He asked if I wanted a ride, I said no I gotta a little freaked out I started to run towards the train station and he left end of story." I finished

"Well, you did the right thing. He's dangerous, unfortunately I do know him personally." She said.

"You know him personally?" I asked, curiously.

"Well, before Sean I was with the old DK." She began.

"DK?" I asked confused.

"It was Takeshi's nickname meaning drift king. Before Sean came I hung out with them, Takeshi's is Morimoto's best friend and they are both involved with Takeshi's uncle he's Yakuza, but everything changed once I met Sean before I was trapped in that life with Takeshi, but with Sean I feel free again" she finished with a smile.

That was kinda the end of the conversation about Morimoto and all that drama soon we were on the lighter topics of what music we liked and what kinda of clothes we liked.

"You must miss your friends huh?" she asked "I mean it would be hard being so far away."

I put on a fake smile "Yeah I miss them I guess." I said but my voice sounded off.

She looked at me strangely "Are you alright, sorry I shouldn't have said anything." She said quickly.

"No that's ok, I miss my life there but with my friends it's a little more complicated. I guess you could say I left some bad memories back in Australia. I wasn't on good terms with my friends before I left." I said, but I even heard the pain in my voice, leaving Australia was a very sensitive topic, which I had avoided to talk about since I moved here.

"Oh I'm sorry, I can see you don't really wanna talk about but just so you know I'm here."

"Thanks, Neela, I'm glad were friends." I smiled. I trusted her, I don't think she would do anything to hurt me like my other friends had. But I was careful never trust somebody to much, it'll only hurt you.

We went out shopping again I bought a few earrings and necklaces but other than that we didn't really buy much else, mostly we just goofed around. Until she received a call from Sean saying some expensive car part had arrived from the states. Sean invited us over to Han's garage so Neela could check it out, we were both pretty tired from all the walking

So we decided we would quickly drive round so she could check out this part.

We pulled up to the garage I could see Twinkie and Sean leaning over a car.

We both stepped out of the car and walked over, to the huge garage, the bottom floor was a workshop garage and then it went upstairs from what I could see looked more for relaxation.

"Yo rio" Twinkie said coming over.

"Hey." I said awkwardly, Twinkie was nice but I wasn't exactly a talker. He seemed to realise that quickly after we met and he did all the talking and I listened happily.

"You thirsty?" he asked

"Yeah." I answered.

"Come on then I'll show you round" he said as he led me up the stairs to the top floor. He lead me to a couch and next to it which had a small fridge, he pulled out a can of cold green tea and chucked it to me.

A sat quietly on the couch sipping my drink. Twinkie phone rang so he left only saying "Business calls."

I think Neela was still down checking out the car. So I was sitting alone

I sat quietly sipping my drink, "So we met again" says a voice and I look up to see no one other than Han.

"Ahh yeah, I was just here with Neela…"I said awkwardly looking down at my feet.

"Haven't seen you at any more races" he said as he sat down next to me,

"One was more than enough." I said.

I also took the chance to slide a little over, so I wasn't sitting so close to him.

I sat awkwardly as he didn't break the silence, I was uncomfortable but he didn't seem at all phased, soon a tall beautiful European women who I guessed must be model came up to his side and sat on the arm of the couch and started to stroke him on the back which made me very uncomfortable I looked away blushing.

I heard Han laugh and I looked up to see he was laughing at me. The model didn't even spare me a glance. I stood up

"I guess I should be going, I guess" I said trying to avoid eye contact since the girl started to kiss Han's neck. At that time Neela and Sean came up the stairs I stood up and grabbed my back

"I'm going to go" I said to Neela.

"Oh really, I can drive you back if you want." She said

"No,no that's ok. I saw the train station on the way, I need some air anyway. I'll just walk."

Neela didn't look convinced "I'll be ok it's only a short walk." I tried again.

"Okay, just message me when you get home ok." I nodded and left but I did not Han was watching me leave, when we had I eye contact I smiled and waved shyly at him, he smiled and nodded his head. I had guessed from the model who was pretty much all over him earlier he was a ladies' man, but he was also a kind man who had helped me twice when I was lost. I respected him

I left out the front of garage and began to walk in the direction of the nearest train station

The walk was cold, I also hadn't realised it had become dark outside when I volunteered I'd walk home, if I had realised I probably would have taken up Neela's offer. I shivered and started walking faster. I might be a grown girl but I still was afraid of the dark and it turns out the train station was a bit further than I had previously estimated. I thought I was going crazy when I heard footsteps behind me I closed my eyes tightly 'no one's there you're ok Rio your ok.' The last time I had been walking in the dark someone WAS following, the memories flashed through my head. I shook my head, just keep walking. The footsteps I thought I could hear felt like they were getting louder.

It felt like someone was right behind me and then I felt a hand reach onto my shoulder, my breath quickened I didn't look behind me I just ran I made it about 100 meters before I ran out of breath then I fell to my knee's I couldn't breathe my breath was coming in short laboured breaths I could in the back of my mind faintly her footsteps rush behind me. Oh no, it's happening again. I have suffered from panic attacks before. Often triggered from bad memories, but please not now not here I prayed.

I faintly saw someone kneel down next to me, I still couldn't breathe my chest tighten and I felt light headed.

The person who was kneeling next to me was asking me if I was alright, they were saying my name but I couldn't concentrate long enough to find out who it was.

"Rio." I heard a voice call.

A hand was gently rubbing circles on my back but the voice was worried.

"Rio, can you hear me. Just take some deep breaths." The voice comforted, it was familiar it had a slight Japanese accent, they were speaking English but it wasn't there first language. It was familiar and they knew who I was. Who was it?

My breaths started slow and I didn't feel so lightheaded and the haze which made everything around me so misty started to clear.

The hand was still supporting and rubbing circle on my back.

I finally looked up to see the mystery person, it was Morimoto.

"Are you ok?" he asked

I still didn't have enough breathe to answer so I nodded weakly.

He put one hand under my arm and helped me up, when I stood up I stumbled and he held me up. He started to walk me somewhere but it was the opposite direction of the train station.

"No, I have to get a train" I protested weakly.

"Don't worry" he said calmly as he brushed a stray hair out of my face "I'll take you home."
