Kasumi had been locked up in a small stone cell, away from Kai. She had no idea where he was or what they had done to him, but she hoped that he was alright. Now, she only had one thing left, and thank goodness that she did! It was a special gadget which resembled a mere watch in it's physical form, but in reality, it allowed her to send messages. Since her cell phone had been confiscated so that she could contact no one, she had to use it. However, she did not intend to contact Ludovico and Sergei...

Tsukino was getting worried. Kasumi had not shown up and she was starting to suspect that she had been found out. If so, then she was in trouble, and so was Kai!

Calm down Tsukino, she scolded herself: Don't get ahead of yourself. Perhaps she had some business to take care of and couldn't contact me just yet. Yeah, that must be it.

However, while she was reading in her room, her cell phone received a message. Curious, she grabbed it from her bedside cupboard and checked it out. It read:

'Tsukino, this is Kasumi. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I've been found out by Boris and Mitsuhide. Kai's in trouble, and I can't reach him from where I am. Please, go to my masters, follow this address and tell them who you are. Go with them, you must hurry, for Kai's sake.'

Tsukino was shocked, she read the message twice and pondered deeply over it. She had no choice left now but to follow Kasumi's orders and go to the place which she had given. She only hoped that it wasn't some kind of trap.

Half an hour later, she was making her way towards Kasumi's headquarters. She carefully followed the address that Kasumi had given her and hoped that she would make it. It took a while before she found it, going through streets which she had only briefly been through or never even seen. The houses here were dark and gloomy, and most appeared inhabited. She was starting to feel a little afraid, but she willed herself to go on, keeping in mind that this was her final chance to save Kai. Finally, she arrived before a tall building on the side of the road, whose walls shone slightly from the moonlight. It had many floors and windows, and two on the fourth floor were illuminated.

I hope everything's gonna be fine, thought Tsukino.

Bracing herself, she approached the front door, raised her fist and knocked.
