Case 1: Earthbound Boy
Earthbound Boy Part 4:
Yasuhara met us at base. Everyone was here except Naru, Masako and Lin. Naru has decided it would be best to stay at base with Masako and Lin monitoring equipment or something like that. In my opinion Lin could have done that alone, but I bet that Naru was only staying because of Masako.
"Mai I did some research, apparently when the school was being built there was a workmen's town near here." Yasuhara said.
"But, we didn't find any towns near here." Ayako blurted.
He stopped for a moment taking in what she had just said, before continuing. "There's more than that."
I nodded thinking for a moment. More than that? What did he mean?
"Should I get Naru?" John asked hurriedly.
Bou-san answered for him, "I think that would be a good idea."
Naru walked up to Yasuhara, "what have you got." The way Naru asked made me think he didn't actually care. His voice seemed bored.
"When the school was being built there was a workmen's town near here. Because it was a work town, it only existed during the time when the school was being built." He smiled looking content about his research of the area.
"You mean that as soon as the school was finished the town vanished?" John questioned.
He nodded. I still did not understand how this has to do with the little boy. Who was Maki?
I could see annoyance building up in Naru's eyes. "Any one with knowloge would have known that,"
I just stood there with my mouth open, how did Naru know about the town? Did he know from the beginning. If so that Narcissist is a jerk for not telling us!
I was brought back to reality by Naru tapping me on the back.
"close your mouth, you will catch flies."
Before I could say anything else to emberess myself any further Ayako steped in
"Look, I think I am missing something, how were we supposed to know that a town used to be here?" Naru glaered at her.
I really wish he would not treat us like we were stupid.
"The school is in the middle of no where, of course there had to be a work town here."
I shot Yasharu a glance in apology. He nodded.
"The town only existed for a little over a year. During this time there was only one reported death.
A child by the name Kai.
When the school was being built there was an 'accident'. "
Even though Yasharu had said 'accident', I had a feeling it was not.
"The boy was found near a pile of logs, reports say he must have sliped and been crushed by the waight of the falling logs."
"The boys father claimed that the boy must have been pushed, and that he belived that it was the worker who his doughter loved so much who pushed him. "
My mind went back over the events in my dream
"Was he really that important Maki?" The boys voice returned in an angry manor.
"Did I really not matter? After everything you said to me, before and after I was gone. You said you would I would always be the only one!"
If this man killed the boy and his sister Maki, still loved the man, it would explain the boys anger.
"MAI! your not being paid to stare into space," Naru said in a strict tone,
i sighed and began to tell them the conection i had just made.
