A/N:- Thank you to all those who reviewed or read this fiction. Hope you enjoy this chapter too. I know there were many errors in the first chapter. If you want I can re post it. Leave a request if you need me to do so.

What happened?

I was looking into the eyes of each and every one and none of them had the guts to bring them to meet mine.

"I'll ask again. Where is Mai?"

"She is missing." Monk replied

"How?"

"Let's go to the office and discuss this." Lin interrupted

I know Lin was trying to get me some time to register this information.

The ride to Shibuya was silent. The office was very clean as usual and almost nothing had changed.

"I'll go and make some tea" Miss Hara offered. But for some reason tea did not hold the same flavour any more.

"No need." I replied as I sat down on my usual seat and opened my black notebook to a blank page and looked up as a gesture for them to start talking. Lin opened his laptop as others looked towards John hoping he could start.

"A few days ago, two weeks to be exact. Mai stopped coming to office. We received a letter stating she was sick and won't be able to join us this week. As soon as the week ended and she did not come we started worrying and called her but the number she used was not in service any longer."

"We went to her home to see if everything was okay. We took the address from the office records and showed up at the building only to find a locked place. A neighbor came to us and asked if we were here to purchase the house. We asked her about Mai and she said she knows no one of that name. We asked her if she knew the occupant of this house and she answered that no one has been living in that place for the last three years. We asked at her school only to find an application stating that was sick had been given. We wanted to talk to her friends only to find that they were missing too with the same conditions."

"After a bit of background check we realized they had joined this high school two years ago saying that they had transferred from Osaka. They had the official transfer papers submitted so we decided to check that school too only to find that no such school exists." As the explanation ended a silence spread over the room but my mind was far from silent.

This is messed up. If I see the conditions above, I can say that Mai does have a hand in them. It is not possible without her support. It also means Mai intentionally gave us all a wrong address but why? She didn't want to cut ties with SPR. She even took all of our addresses and phone numbers and gave us a fake one? That is not like her. The only logical conclusion is that she intended to cut all the ties and everything else was an act but why? Well I'm getting nowhere just deducing all these things with so little information...

"We will only find her if we have more info. If she did not really live at the address she has given us then she must be living somewhere. Hotels keep a record. And if it was a normal place then we can start by asking her classmates and looking for places possible. Someone is bound to know her. A person cannot disappear. "

"Why did I not think of this before?!" monk said jumping out of his seat.

"What is it monk?"

"After the whole doll house case. Mai had given Ayami her number to her so that she can call if she misses Mai."

"What are the chances that she has not been deceived too?"

"It is worth considering. But before that I have a job to do. Lin I need to visit a certain hospital named Kaze near the lake."

"Why do you want to go there?"

"You really expect me to answer that Lin?"

He gave a look that meant 'Naru ...' He knows I am stubborn when it comes to such things. He did not tell me what the call was about and I won't tell him about the letter.

"We'll come with you." Said the noisy Monk

"Do as you please."

A few hours later

We were pulling up in front of the hospital and my senses went to alert. We entered the hospital and went to the reception. The receptionist looked at me and her eyes went wide with shock. So not new. I decided to start the conversation and get over with this.

"I am..."

"Is your name Kazuya Shibuya?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me."

First this lady is shocked after seeing me then she interrupts me and now is telling me to follow her?

She led us to room 513 and opened the door. The sight in front of me gave me a wee bit of shock and then relief. The person on the next bed gave me more of a shock than relief.

"I'll call the doctor in charge." Said the receptionist as she exited and Lin asked me in a loud voice.

"Naru what is this?!"

In front of us laid Eugene Davis with a heart monitor attached and a beeping sound coming at a constant rate informing us that he was alive. I for the first time in my life felt so many emotions at once and in the bed beside him was a girl that looked like Mai. She also had a heart monitor attached to her. My emotions stirred but for some reason she did not feel like Mai. Her facial structures aside but the air around her was not of Mai.

We heard the door open and turned to see the doctor.

"My name is Hitoshi Sasoke. I am the one who is in charge of their medical conditions. You people are the second visitors they have had in two years. I believe you know them. This is Eugene Davis and that is Ayano Davis or something else. We are not sure."

"What do you mean sir?"

Gene I swear if you did something stupid again I'll kill you as soon as you wake up.

"Please have a seat. The previous visitor said to explain things to you properly in definite terms."

As we (Lin, Monk and myself) had our seats in the Doctors cabin the doctor started explaining.

"About two years ago a fisher man came in with these two bodies to the hospital. They were immediately rushed to the Operation Theatre. The Man had gone into Cardiac arrest but by some miracle after a few shocks the Heart started working again. The woman was not dead but had gone into a state of coma due to head injury. Their personal belongings are still here. Even now they are under coma. A few weeks ago a lady who said she was the sister of woman lying on the bed came. She took care of the bills of both the patients and then left a letter saying to be given to the woman once she wakes up. Another letter was left for the man who is in coma. She also mentioned another guy named Kazuya Shibuya will be visiting soon. She said that you will have the same face the man in coma. I thought it to be a joke but I guess it was not."

"Do you know the name of this visitor?"

"She said her name was Mai but refused to give her last name."

"MAI WAS HERE?" the monk seems surprised

"Oh yes." Said a little flabbergasted by Monks outburst

"Monk. Sit down."

He obeyed even though he didn't want to. I was going to continue my interrogation when the door opened and a nurse came in and said

"Sir the patients in room 513 are waking up."
