"What about my other stuff?"
"I'll get Apachai, Miu, or Kenichi to get your crap later. Now we just need to get you to Akisame so shut up and deal with it!"
"I will not! And I don't want some stranger handling my things! I'll call my friends to get them!" I yelled at him. I reached down towards my pockets and tried to get my cell phone out. I had a bit of trouble seeing as how my pockets were against his shoulders. After a bit of effort, I managed to get my phone out and dialed Allie's number. The phone rang a few times before it went to voicemail. I sighed.
"Hey Allie, it's Haley. I'm being kidnapped and this jerk left behind the groceries. So could you please pick them up? They're by that one restaurant you, me, and Ashley went to after Ashley's first concert. Thanks, I'll call you back later. Bye," I said. I hung up and felt Sakaki silently laughing underneath me. I hit him on the head. "What are you laughing about?"
"At your luck," he said.
"What? Why is my luck so funny?" I asked, seriously offended.
"Well, you've gotten jumped twice today and now, according to you, you just got kidnapped. I wonder how that friend of yours will take that message you gave her?" he said, laughing at the idea. I frowned. This guy, I just met him and he's already getting on my last nerve.
Allie
"Ha!" Allie yelled, punching the pole that was stuck into the ground.
"More effort! More rage!" Allie's karate master yelled. He was standing a little behind Allie, observing her punching practice.
"Right!" Allie yelled. She imagined the scenario when she first found her cousin.
About 5 years ago, during the middle of Winter, Allie had just started home from grocery shopping. She was in charge of pretty much all of the shopping since she was the only girl in the dojo. Suddenly, her phone rang.
"Hello?" Allie asked after taking out her phone and putting down a few groceries.
"Allie? Is that you?" the voice on the other end asked. It sounded like Allie's Aunt.
"Yeah, Auntie Saori. It's me. What's up? Any news about Ashley?" Allie asked. Ashley, Allie's cousin, had been missing for 5 years now. All anyone knew was that she never came home one day after school. Aunt Saori sighed.
"No, nothing. I was wondering if you heard anything. But it seems like you haven't," Aunt Saori said.
"No, sorry," Allie said. Aunt Saori and Allie were just about to end their conversation when screaming was heard just around the corner.
"Allie? What was that?" Aunt Saori asked. "Is everything okay?"
"Not really sure Auntie. But I'm about to find out," Allie said. Allie ran around the corner, leaving the groceries where she left them. When she turned, she saw a girl, about 12 years old, running towards Allie and screaming for help. Allie put the talking end of the phone to her shoulder.
"Hey! What's wrong?" Allie asked. "Are you okay?" The girl stopped running for a moment and looked at Allie. She squinted and it seemed like she was trying to figure something out.
"Um, no. I guess I'm not okay," she muttered.
"Ashley!" a guy screamed. The girl in front of Allie froze and looked behind her. Allie looked too to see a rather scary looking guy glaring towards the girl. "You should know by now that no matter where you run to or how fast you run, I will always find you. So just stop running!"
"No! I won't! Why can't you just leave me alone?" the girl screamed. She turned around and ran away from the guy. The guy started to run after her but stopped when he reached Allie. He grabbed Allie's throat and looked menacingly into her eyes.
"You saw nothing. Understand? And if I see my face on any wanted posters, I know what you look like. Got it?" he warned. Allie nodded. The guy smirked. "Good." He let go of Allie's neck and proceeded to run after the girl. Allie blinked and the previous 5 minutes repeated in her mind.
"Wait a sec, did he say Ashley?" Allie muttered.
"Allie? Allie! What's going on over there?" Aunt Saori yelled through the phone. Allie was shocked out of her thoughts, remembering that she was still on the phone with her Aunt. She returned the phone to her ear.
"Sorry Auntie. Don't worry, I may or may not have found something important. I'll call you back later, okay? Love you, bye," Allie said. She hung up the phone before her Aunt could say another word.
"I swear, if that's my cousin, then that guy is going to be in for some major hurting!" Allie said. She quickly dialed the number to one of the sensei's and asked them to pick up the groceries that she left on a corner. After that Allie put her phone away and ran after the two. She imitated one of her sensei's techniques and jumped onto the roof of a nearby house and looked around for the girl and the guy chasing her.
"Where could you be?" Allie muttered. A bloodcurdling scream was heard about two blocks away from where Allie was. "Found you!" Allie jumped from roof to roof until she found the two of them in an alleyway with the guy pushing the girl against the wall.
"Let me go!" the girl yelled.
"Not likely!" he yelled. Allie jumped down from the roof and landed right behind the guy.
"She said let her go!" Allie said. The guy flinched and looked behind him to see Allie. He let go of the girl and turned to face Allie.
"Well well. If it ain't the nosy girl from earlier? What? You want some of this too? Well, you'll just have to wait until I'm done with this girl," the guy said. Allie eyed him up. He seemed like he was about 16. 18 at the most. And really creepy too. The guy turned around and reached into his coat pocket. The girl seemed really afraid. Allie saw what he had taken out when he let his arm go down to his side. A knife. "Now, Ashley. You be real good and just let me have you, or I'll make sure you stay dead. Unlike last time where you managed to come back to life." Allie flared with anger. She got into a Karate stance and punched the guy's back with all her might.
"Hah!" Allie yelled. Unknowingly, she had punched the post at the same time she thought about punching that jerk's back. Except this time, it had a lot more power since she was stronger than that time. Had she punched that guy now, she would probably break his spine in two. Master Gorou was laughing behind her.
"I don't think I want to know what you were thinking about that made you so mad!" he laughed. He didn't seem scared, just a little surprised that Allie had this much power in her. Allie didn't pay him any mind. Her body was still shaking with rage from the memory. Ashley may not remember that day, but Allie did. Every detail. She was about to go further in the memory when a voice came from the house behind them.
"Allie! Your phone is ringing!" Allie's jujutsu master yelled. Allie turned to see her phone in her Master's hand and she calmly walked to it.
"I wonder who's calling?" Allie muttered. She took her phone and the moment she took it, it stopped ringing. The call had gone to voice mail. Allie sighed and looked to see who had called. Haley. Allie stared at the phone.
Why was Haley calling? Did she get into some trouble that she couldn't use her Taser for? Or is she calling to see what we would want for dinner?
Allie was shocked out of her thoughts when the phone buzzed, telling her that she had a voicemail. She put the phone to her ear to listen.
"Hey Allie, it's Haley. I'm being kidnapped and this jerk left behind the groceries. So could you please pick them up? They're by that one restaurant you, me, and Ashley went to after Ashley's first concert. Thanks, I'll call you back later. Bye," Haley said.
