Finding

"Where's my wife?" Shiro asked as an evil smile on his face. Naru felt his heart stop. Shiro was right, his wife was nowhere in sight, and neither was Mai.

"Shit. Lin where is Mai?" Naru asked as he turned to face the man. Lin looked at him with shock on his face.

"I left her by the car." Lin said before turning around to go after her. Naru was about to follow him when he heard Shiro say something.

"It's no use. She is already gone." Naru turned around to face him, not wanting to believe him. "My wife probably already has her."

Naru mentally kicked himself. How did he not see this? He knew Shiro's wife was involved, yet he still let Mai go off by herself. How stupid could he have been? What if she already was hurt? Or worse.

"You better tell us where she has her." Detective Masahiko said as he appeared next to Shiro. Shiro just laughed and said. "You'll have to find her yourself. Truth be told, I really don't know anything about my 'wife'. She was just a figure that I used to look like a family guy. And I am sure if you find her, she will say the same thing about me. We just used each other to kill those lovely girls." Shiro said before bursting into a laughing fit.

"Damn it." The Detective said. "Get him out of here!" Masahiko said. The other officers came over and began to walk Shiro away and out of their sight. "What are we going to do?"

"Naru!" Lin screamed. Naru and Detective turned around to find Lin running towards them, "She isn't there, I can't find her anywhere."

"Shit." Naru said, trying to think. Where would she take her? "Is there any special place he killed his victims or left their body's?"

"No, they were all random, unless you count the church, but we have men station there, so if she went there, we would know."

"We don't have much time. I want all of your police officer's looking for them." Naru said as he looked at Detective Masahiko. He was giving Naru a funny look. "What?"

"My men, my rules, my orders." The detective said. Naru sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing to insulting this man.

"Fine, what would you like to do Detective?" Naru said through his teeth. The Detective smiled at him before pulling out his radio and saying. "I want all available police officer's out looking for a woman. She will be with a young girl with brown hair and brown eyes. The woman is considered armed and dangerous. Do not approach if found." He put the radio away before calling to Naru when he saw him walking away "Where are you going?"

"To go look for them myself!" He called back. Lin turned to follow him, not wanting him to go by himself.

Mai walked down the dark street, a knife to her back. She never thought that something like this could ever happen twice in such a short time period.

"Can I ask you something?" Mai asked, glancing back at the woman behind her. Carmela, or at least that is what she told Mai was her name, narrowed her eyes before answering her.

"Look straight" She said. Mai looked straight, not knowing what the big deal was with not looking at her. "And ask it first, and then I will decide if I'll answer it."

Mai sighed to herself, trying to remain calm. They have been walking for over twenty minutes now, and Mai had no idea where they were going or when they will get there. The only thing that concerned Mai was that there were no police around.

"Why are you doing this?" Mai asked. "I mean, I know you want to get your husband back but kidnapping me will only make things worse."

"You are wrong there." Carmela said. "Yes, I know kidnapping you will accomplish nothing, but he is not my husband. I only used him so I could kill as I wished without having them suspect us."

"What do you-" Mai asked as she turned to face her but the knife stab her back and Mai looked forward again.

"Keep walking and don't turn around." She said in a nasty voice. Mai nodded her head as she continued to walk down the street. "Take a left here." She said as they reached a corner. Mai turned left and continued her walk. "As for what we were talking about, who do you think brought my husband all of his victims? Who do you think cleaned up after all of the murders? And who do you think kept the police at bay? If it wasn't for his impetuousness, then we could have continued, but that stupid priest came and started to talk about his other job and when he mentioned you, of course that stupid man couldn't resist taking challenge. It's pathetic."

"So you only married each other so you can kill innocent people?" Mai asked.

"When you say it like that, it makes us look like the bad ones."

"That because you are the bad ones!" Mai yelled as she spun around and knocked the blade out of her way. Carmela quickly moved her hand back and across Mai's collar bone. Mai reached up and grabbed it as she yelled out in pain.

"Do that again, and I will aim for you neck." She said in a threatening voice. Mai just looked up at her through her watery vision, pushing down on her wound that stretched across her chest. "Now turn around and continue to walk forward."

Mai turned around and when she felt the knife on her back again, she began to walk. They walked for another ten minutes in silence, none of them wanting to speak to each other. Mai desperately tried to stop the bleeding and the pain in her shoulder, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn't like she had a lot of options in the first place.

It wasn't until they reached the edge of the forest that Mai said anything. "You want me to go in there?"

"Yes I do. Why else would I have brought you here?" Carmela asked as she jabbed Mai n the back once more. "Go on, go in."

Mai walked into the forest quietly, looking around in front of her. Why would Carmela bring me here? I thought she said she wanted to use me to get her husband out of jail? Was that a lie? Was she going to get revenge for him and kill me instead? No she can't! That wouldn't accomplish anything! Her husband would still be in jail and Naru would find her! Right, Naru would find her? Naru would find me…right?

They walked into the deeper part of the forest until they came upon a cabin.

"Open the door." Carmela said. Mai reached out and opened the door and Carmela grabbed it and pushed Mai in. She stumbled in and turned around to look at her, keeping her hand on the wound. "This is where you are going to be a good girl, and call your friend."

"What?" Mai asked.

"You heard me." Carmela pulled a phone out of her pocket and tossed it to Mai. Mai let go of her wound and caught the phone with her bloody hand. "Call that boy who was with you earlier. Tell him where you are and that if he doesn't get here soon, he is going to find you body waiting for him"

"No." Mai said shaking her head. "I'm not calling Naru!" Mai threw the phone back at Carmela and stepped away. "You can kill me and you can do whatever you want with me, but I won't call him."

"If you don't call him, I will go find him and trust me, he wouldn't be coming back here." Carmela said as she tossed the phone back at Mai. Mai looked down at the phone and thought about it. If she called Naru and he came rushing here, he would get hurt, but if she didn't, she would die. Not to mention Carmela was probably going to go kill Naru anyway after she finished with her her.

"I…I can't." Mai said as she sunk to the floor. There was no winning. In the end, they might both end up dead anyway. "He…He wouldn't listen to me" Mai said as she buried her face in her hands.

"What are you talking about, of course he will." Carmela said, sounding degusted by the words. "He kissed you didn't he?"

"That was only because I wouldn't have left if he didn't. It didn't mean anything. He hates me." Mai said as she tried to stop crying. "I said some horrible things to him."

"That doesn't mean anything. I say horrible things to my husband all the time. It doesn't mean he doesn't love me."

"But you said you were using each other to kill people, so why would it matter what you said to each other!" Mai yelled at her through her tears.

"Just because we didn't like each other or could hardly stand one another, doesn't mean that we didn't mean we didn't have feelings. We were married for six years, not to mention we have a kid. Of course we have some feelings for each other. Not like you and the boy, but there is something there."

"That doesn't mean anything!" Mai said as she buried her face in her hands again. Carmela stayed quiet for a few miuntes, waiting for Mai to stop crying, but she didn't.

"Stop crying would you?" Carmela yelled. "It's making me sick."

"I don't care!" Mai snapped at her. "I want to cry, so I'm gonna!"

"She is right Mai, its unsightly." said a voice behind Carmela. Mai and Carmela both looked around to find someone standing in the door way.

Naru walked down the street, thinking of all the places that she could be. He and Lin had decided to split up and gone in opposite directions in order to cover more ground, but truthfully, with just the two of them, it didn't make much of a difference. Naru had even called the team in, but it would take them some time to get here and start looking.

"Mr…" said a small voice. Naru looked around, but found that no one was there. "Mr…". There was a small tug on Naru's pants and he looked down to find a small boy looking up at him. "Is daddy going to be alwight?"

"What?" Naru asked.

"Is daddy going to be alwight? Those men took him away and put him in the policen car." said the boy. Naru crouched down and looked in the boys eyes.

"Your dad is Father Shiro?" Naru asked. The boy nodded his head, biting his lip as he said "And I can't find mommy!"

Naru felt his heart jump. This was Shiro's son, which meant that even if they did not know where Shiro's wife was taking Mai, the boy would.

"I lost my friend too." Naru said, trying to hide the eagerness in his voice. "Maybe they are together. Do you want to help me look?" The boy nodded his head as a smile came across it. "That's good. Do you know of any place your mom might go? Someplace that is unknown to anyone, or hidden somewhere, maybe a friend's or a relative?" The boy shook his head. "How about a place where they liked to go to be alone?" The boy shook his head. Naru was starting to get frustrated. This boy was being of no help to him and he was running out of time. "Is there any place you can think of?"

"Maybe…" The boy whispered. "What about the carbin?"

"The what?" Naru asked, not understanding what he said.

"The carbin. It's the pwace in the woods that mommy and daddy go to."

"You mean cabin?" Naru asked. The boy nodded his head happily. "Where is it?"

"In some woods somewhere." The boy said. Naru took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

"Can you take me?" Naru asked. The boy shook his head and said "No one but mommy and daddy are awowed there."

"Look," Naru said as he grabbed the boy shoulders. The boy tensed at the suddenly movement and Naru loosened his grip a little. "Your mother took my friend and I really need to get her back okay? She is….special to me and I don't have a lot of time left before something bad happens to her. So I need your help to get her back, can you do that?"

The boy looked up at Naru for a minute, thinking about it.

"How special is she?" The boy asked.

"Very."

"Very very?" The boy asked excitedly.

"Yes." Naru said softly. The boy smiled up at him and grabbed his hand before starting to pull Naru towards the cabin.
