Mai stared at the darkness that had engulfed her. "Naru," she called into the endless black abyss. "Naru where are you," Mai's voice echoed on and on, making fear swell in her stomach. Joy filled her heart as a light appeared, but the happiness quickly faded as she recognized the man who appeared under the ray. It was the man from the market or S.P.R. building, the first one she had seen, the one whose slap had launched into the wall, the one who ordered the baby's death. He dissolved as the image of the dead baby appeared in her mind, making sadness overwhelm her to where she couldn't even sit up. She lay on the ground as another figure walked up from behind the light. Mai sat up quickly and then jumped to her feet as Naru walked into the light. Mai took one step forward and collapsed to the ground from a lite head.
"Mai what's wrong," Naru yelled, as he ran up next to her. He grabbed her and picked her up into a princess hold. He sat down and held her head in one arm and raped the other around her arms and chest. They sat that way and talked for what seemed like days, Mai was starting to like it.
Suddenly everything turned serious and Naru became quiet. He stared down at Mai with a look she had never seen before, making her shiver. "There is something I need to tell you," he said pushing her up to a sitting position. "This next case you're going to be doing..."
"You mean the one on the S.P.R. building," Mai interrupted.
"Yes, and no matter what anyone says, you have to go on that case; people will try to stop you because of your injuries. That case will explain a lot." Naru's warm hands disappeared from her back and didn't return. Mai stared at the spot where Naru should have been, but sat no more. Tears filled her eyes as the darkness surrounded her again and stay for a long time.
"So what happened to her there, all I heard was that when Naru got to S.P.R., the place was a huge mess. He said he had sent Mai there to wait for some boxes full of this new type of equipment. He started yelling for her, and when he got to the stairs, there she was at the bottom. He said she was lying in a puddle of blood. When he ran up to her, she looked up at him said something and closed her eyes and didn't respond."
Mai opened her eyes, and stared at a white sealing. She looked over to where the voices were coming from, and there stud monk and Ayako. Ayako was the first one to notice Mai was staring at them, she nearly fell out of her chair trying to stand up.
"Mai, your awake," Ayako announced joyfully, walking up next to the bed.
"YA? Where I'm I, what happened?" Mai question, looking around the room.
"You're in the hospital, and all we know is what Naru has told us. He found in the SPR building covered in blood, Lin called an ambulance, Mai… Yo-you were dead for two minutes, and you were in a coma for three weeks. The doctors said it was a fifty, fifty chance that you would service." Ayaka said in a somewhat frantic voice.
"Well, when Lin called the ambulance, Naru picked you up and took you outside. When it finally got there, your breathing had quickened and the bleeding hadn't stopped. They got you in and you had, like a seizer and your heart stopped. They sent electric shocks through your heart a few times, but it didn't start back up. They started giving up, saying you were gone for good, but Naru told them to keep going. When you got here, they stabbed you with some prednisolone, placed these wires into your chest, and sent electric shocks through your body, restarting your heart and brain." Ayako said, showing Mai where they places the metal stick-like things.
"So Mai, what really happened to you to have ended up like this," monk questioned this time.
"Well, Naru asked me to wait for some boxes that would be dropped off there…" Mai continued on. She told of when she walked into the S.P.R. building and everything was different, and the three men who started threatening everyone. She told how her mother was there with that baby, and how her mother had stud up for her. Tears filled her eyes as she told about how the two men killed the baby, then when she was kicked down the stairs. The last thing she told them about was her dream.
"Wow, that's crazy, not saying you are," Monk said, placing his hands on Mai's arm. "We have to go, visiting time is up and you need to rest a little more, but we'll be back tomorrow. Is it okay if we tell Naru what happened, he's a little worried." Mai, a little surprised, nodded and closed her eyes as they left. Her, that night, were full of that baby's face.
