Joey awoke to find what he had hoped for, last night wasn't a dream, and his arms were still wrapped around Mai's slim waist. For the first time, he took in the living room where they had fell into a deep sleep. The vibrant violet walls reminded him of the eyes he had gazed into, the complex eyes that told so many stories yet still concealed many secrets. He wanted to stay like this and never think of the past; the past was a cold, hostile place. He inhaled deeply, allowing the poignant scent of jasmine perfume drift towards him like mist. Mai began to stir, and awoke. "Morning, Joseph." A cheeky grin spread across her face. For once, Joey didn't mind her calling him Joseph; for once it didn't irritate him.
"Mornin'" he replied chirpily.
"Today we have to go see somebody, a friend of mine, she's not well, some sort of virus. Hope that's ok."
"Yeah, dats fine, a friend of yours is a friend of mine."
They had breakfast, and got dressed, and set out of the ramshackle block of flats together. As they progressed, Joey noticed Mai began to get edgier and edgier.
"You alright, Mai?" Joey inquired, concerned.
"Yeah, yeah, fine, just I've lived round here long enough to know it's a little dodgy, so I was just watching our backs," she said evasively.
All of a sudden Joey got his bearings and realised where he was, they were heading towards north Domino. Joey's heart twisted fearfully in his chest, "Mai! What are we doin' here?"
"Don't worry, we won't actually go to Domino, she lives down here in one of the flats down this back alley." Mai dodged shiftily. Joey was getting suspicious, who was this "friend"? Why did Mai not say that they lived so close to domino? They turned down an alley shrouded in darkness, a lot like the one he slept in the night before he found Mai. A rough hand burst through Joey's thoughts, he let out a shocked gasp, but that was all he could manage as the hand was now clamped to his mouth, preventing him from letting out a yell. A muscular arm snaked around him, pinning his arms and legs together and cutting off any efforts to try and flee.
"FINALLY, WHEELER, I HAVE YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU!" He paused as Joey tried to bite his hand, but the offender was too quick - he tightened his grip so much it was impossible for Joey to move his jaw. "I SEE YOU MET MAI, MY GIRLFRIEND!" Joey knew that voice - it was the cold harsh voice of Hirutani, the guy in charge of Joey's past gang. Joey's heart plummeted like the Titanic. His blood ran cold. Mai had done it again, she had betrayed him again.
Will Mai sort this mess out or was the night before all just an act? Find out in the next chapter.
