The Case On Valentine's Day. Part 9.
Back at the restaurant, Naru gives out his new orders, "Takigawa-san and Matsuzaki-san, I want you to search south of the city."
"Why do I have to work with this old hag?" Bou-san questions.
"Who are you calling an old hag?!" Ayako says, glaring, and with her fist in the air getting ready to hit Bou-san. He gets behind John hoping that the young priest will protect him. When Ayako comes closer to John and the cowering monk, Naru slams his hand on the table.
"We don't have time for this. Did you forget about Mai's abduction?" Naru inquires. Ayako and Bou-san look down in shame. "Just get going before I change my mind about sending you two anywhere." Naru says, putting his thumb and index finger on his nose, hoping he could stop the headache from coming. Bou-san and Ayako nods their heads and walks out of base. "Brown-san and Miss Hara, I would like you to search east. Lin and I will search north and west of the city. Yasu will stay here, just in case Mai calls." He continues.
Yasu nods his head, and everyone walks out of base and goes to their cars.
~One hour later~
"Any luck finding Mai?" Yasu questions John over the phone.
"No, nothing yet, mate." John responses sadly.
"I see. I'll let Naru know." Yasu says disappointedly. "Good-bye, John. Call me if you find anything."
"Okay, I will." John tells him. When Yasu hears the dial tone, he calls Naru. As soon as he picks up the phone, Yasu tells him that there is still no sign of Mai yet.
Naru Pov
When Yasu tells me that there is still no sign of Mai, I rub my hand that isn't holding the phone over my face. 'Where are you, Mai?' I thought to myself. 'This day just gets better and better.' I don't bother saying good-bye to Yasu, I just hang up the phone and continue to gaze out the window. When we drive out of the city and into the country side, I see nothing but dirt and a few trees.
When I hear a beep from my phone, I check my e-mail, but when there isn't a new one that was sent. I go back to home screen and check my text messages. Then I see Mai's name, and feeling a bit anxious, I read the message.
"Help me, Naru! Please!" The message says.
"Where are you?" He texts back. A few seconds later, Naru's phone goes off.
"I don't know..." Was the response.
"Are you that much of an idiot? Look for a window. If you don't see a sign, then look for a newspaper and tell me what it says." Naru texts back.
