Inoo missing- Day 3

Takaki couldn’t sleep last night. He spent the entire night in his office, thinking of what his next step should be. He can’t let go of the event that took place yesterday. For the first time in his life, Takaki is doubting the moral ethics of his job.

“Any new lead from the letter or Aki?”

“Em,” Daiki nods. “I have sent the report to our Commissioner General,” the forensic officer sips his coffee from the mug he held.

Takaki frowns. “But why? I am the investigation officer in charge! All reports must go through me!”

“All right officer, relax,” Daiki senses the tension. “I am only following my order. See,” he shows Takaki the text message he received earlier in the morning. It is from their superior, Yaotome Hikaru. The text clearly stated that all findings related to the kidnapping case to be directly sent to the Commissioner General office.

“This doesn’t make any sense,” Takaki loosens his necktie. Suddenly his body feels like burning up.

“Maybe Yaotome-san has his own reason,” Daiki tries to reduce the police officer’s stress. “This is a high-profile case and you know how much the politicians are pressing him.”

“Daiki, you have worked here longer than I do. You know the protocol. I know deep inside your heart you yourself feel that this is fishy.”

“A regular employer like me can only obey our orders. Whether we like it or not,” Daiki returns to his computer.

“Tell me the details of your findings. You must have kept a copy of those reports, right?”

“You know I can’t.”

“Kei’s life is in danger!”

“Yuya, I am bound to-”

“Please, I am begging you. I will not tell anyone that I get the information from you. I swear!”

Daiki sighs. He feels torn inside. He is caught in between his friendship and his duty. Daiki however agrees with Takaki, Yaotome-san’s action is rather questionable.

“All right,” Daiki walks to the laboratory’s door. “Follow me,” he leads Takaki to his private working space.

Or so Takaki thought.

Daiki didn’t stop at his usual spot. He instead brings Takaki to the basement of the facilities. If the main laboratory on the 1st and 2nd floor is packed with people, the basement is the opposite. There is no one in the hallway. It is eerily quiet, and all they can hear is the echo of their shoes stepping on the floor. Daiki walks further to the end of the basement.

“Just a warning Yuya,” Daiki pauses when they reach a metal door. “You may not like what you will see.”

“What do you mean?”

“You are about to open a ‘Pandora Box’.”

Takaki regrets his decision to enter the room. Daiki was right, some things are better being kept in the dark. He is no longer looking for a criminal, he is now battling an organisation.

Where do I stand on this matter?

Takaki’s cell phone beeps. Another text message from Yamada. Takaki stares at his cell phone, having no interest in picking up or replying to his girlfriend. His mind is occupied with the content of the ‘Pandora Box’.

Suddenly the phone in his office rings. It is only 7.30am. Takaki wonders who might be calling this early in the morning.

Maybe it’s Yamada again. Because I didn’t reply her text messages.

Takaki ignores the first and second call. But the third time the office phone rings, Takaki gives in and pick it up- worrying if something may have happened at home.

“Special force main quarters,” Takaki nonchalantly speaks.

“Takaki Yuya,”

Takaki stands up the moment he hears the caller’s voice. He could feel his pupils dilating due to shock.

“You got some nerves to call this place-” Takaki says in a strict intonation. “-Yuto.”

“Kei is with me.”

“WHAT?”

“She’s in danger. I can’t hide her any longer. Come to this address.”

“A criminal is giving me his hiding location. Am I a fool to you?” Takaki disses.

“I’m not lying!”

“I don’t trust you.”

“LOOK MISTER!” Yuto raises his voice. “There’s not much time left! Get here and take Kei before it’s too late!”

Takaki is stunned. He could here Yuto’s rapid breathing over the phone. He can tell that the boy’s worries are genuine.

“Where are you?”

------------------

“Can I get you anything else sir?” the middle age housemaid politely asks.

Hikaru shook his head. “This is enough. Thank you,” he gently nods before going back to his cell phone. Previously, his daughter Yamada will be eating with him. But ever since she moves in with her boyfriend Takaki, Hikaru uses his breakfast to check on his emails.

Time flies so fast. It seems only yesterday that Yamada was born. She was very fair and small back then. Growing up, Yamada was such an adorable child- obedient and kind. She took over her mother a lot.

Hikaru’s wife died due to heart failure when Yamada was only 12 years old. Until now Hikaru regrets for not noticing the symptoms she had earlier. If only he has brought his wife to the hospital sooner, this big house won’t be as soundless as it is now.

His work has become Hikaru’s distraction. He is grateful that Yamada is able to become a fine woman despite the absence of parental guidance. Hikaru wants the best for his daughter. Hence when Yamada requested to stay with her boyfriend Takaki, Hikaru did not object. He wants Yamada to be happy. Takaki after all is a very capable young man- smart and responsible. He has promising future as a police officer.

“Excuse me sir,” the housemaid returns to the dining table. “There is a phone call for you.”

“Who is it?” Hikaru asks. It is very rare for people to use the landline these days.

“He didn’t tell his name. all he said was ‘Rose’.”

Hikaru feels like he was strike by lightning. He immediately gets up to receive the call.

“Hello old friend,”

Hikaru begins to have palpitation. “Yabu Kota.”

“It’s good that you still remember.”

“What do you want?”

“Our deal.”

“Huh?”

“I am calling to remind you about the deal we made 14 years ago. Your new man is being very nosy lately.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Stop playing dumb,” Yabu sternly speaks. “Remember Yaotome, if I go down, you will be exposed too.”

Hikaru takes a deep breath in. “Then maybe you should stop your ‘activities’ for the time being.”

Yabu hysterically laughs. “Your daughter is beautiful. I wonder how much my clients will pay for her?”

“DON’T YOU DARE!!”

“Then stop interrupting my business!” Yabu warns. “By the way, the next time it won’t be a phone call. I will send you officer’s head to warn you instead,” Yabu hangs up.

Hikaru slams the phone on the table. His hands are shaking out of anger. His desperation puts him in this trap for years. He wants to end this nightmare. The guilt of covering for the criminal is consuming him.

He must find a way.
