17. I HAVE HER

"A letter for me?" asked Ryuki as his mother handed him the envelope. "Wonder who's it from?"

"Open it and see," Alex insisted as she looked over his shoulder. He smiled at her and shook the envelope. His eyes narrowed in suspicion. There was something inside.

"What's wrong, Ryuki-kun?" Emiko asked.

"There's something inside this envelope," he said. He tilted the envelope and a pair of pink butterfly hairclips dropped into his hand. His eyes widened in recognition. He knew those hairclips.

"Hairclips?" Alex blinked in confusion, "Who would send you hairclips?" But then she felt Ryuki trembling. "Ryuki, what's wrong?" Her question was filled with concern.

"Ryuki-kun?" his mother asked, worried too.

Ryuki reached inside the envelope and pulled out a note. On it were three ominous words:

I HAVE HER

The note included the drawing of a scorpion.
