Tsukino waited with bated breath, and soon heard the sound of approaching footsteps, descending on the staircase within. Suddenly, the door opened and a tall man appeared, dressed in a black suit.
"How can I help you?" he asked, surveying her with curiosity.
"I'm here on Ms. Kasumi's orders. She's in danger," said Tsukino.
"Kasumi, in danger? Has she been caught?" the man asked.
"Yes. My name is Tsukino, and I am Kai Hiwatari's girlfriend. He's in danger as well," Tsukino continued.
"I see. Please come in," the man said, stepping aside to allow her in and closing the door behind her.
The two ascended the stairs to the men's office, and went in. Inside the office was another man, obviously Kasumi's other boss, who was browsing on the computer on the desk in the centre of the office.
"Sergei, who is this?" he asked, looking up from the screen.
"Ludovico, this is Tsukino, she is Kai Hiwatari's girlfriend. Kasumi sent her to tell us that she has been found out and that Kai is in danger," said Sergei.
"This is bad," said Ludovico: "We have no choice but to intrude personally. Sergei, call the police, we need back-up."
"Please, may I come too?" Tsukino begged.
"Uh, well," Ludovico hesitated: "These are dangerous matters. Coming with us would put your life in danger."
"Please, I need to save Kai myself. I haven't seen him for more than two years, and I can't stand to be held away from something as important as this! I'm ready to come, if you'd let me," said Tsukino.
"Very well then," said Ludovico, sensing Tsukino's determination: "However, we'll be protecting you at all times. Your life is our responsibility."
"Of course, thank you so much. This means a lot to me," said Tsukino.
Hold on Kai...I'm coming to save you, she thought.
15 minutes later, she got in the car with Sergei and Ludovico, with the police ready to leave with them. Tsukino hoped that it would all turn out fine. If anything happened to Kai this time, after she had been given another chance...well, she didn't even want to consider it.
