A bucket of water is splashed onto Yuto’s face. He, who is severely beaten up- opens his eyes. Yuto tries to push his sore body to stand but he immediately falls afterwards.
“That’s enough,” Yabu orders. “Leave us alone.”
The two men wearing black attire leaves the room. This room was usually used to keep their victims. It is so ironic that he is the one being occupying the place now.
Yabu sits on an old wooden chair closes to the door. He is wearing his red suit today, the one he often wears when he has important ‘trade’ to do. The man gives a sharp stare at Yuto.
“I can’t believe how foolish you are,” Yabu speaks in a rather scary voice. “Look where you sink now.”
Yuto returns the man’s glare with a fierce stare. He is fuelled by hate and anger towards Yabu- so much that his heart could burst.
“I like that face,” Yabu teases. “You are my best ‘pet’ Yuto. I will miss you for sure.”
“The hell with that!!” Yuto unexpectedly spit in Yabu’s direction. “Because of you I will forever be disgusted with myself!!!”
Yabu laughs devilishly. “You offered me your body in exchange of that kid remember?? What was his name? Yuki? Yumi?”
“YURI!!!” Yuto shouts. “And you killed him you bastard!!” he suddenly stands and tries to punch Yabu.
Yabu, who has predicted such resilient act from the boy, escapes the attack with ease- causing Yuto to bump into the wall.
“Baka! I saved you from the police! If it’s not because of me, you would be dead 4 years ago!” Yabu’s voice gets louder every sentence. “After all that I’ve done, you dare go against my order??!!!!” he kicks a nearby empty box. “That girl’s blood was for my important client! YOU RUINED MY BUSINESS!!!!”
“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!” Yuto yells.
Yabu claps, laughing sarcastically. “What makes you think you can stop me?”
“I swear I will KILL YOU!!!!”
“Go ahead… try…”
“OMAEEEEE!!!!!”
Yuto once again stands up and strangles Yabu with his hands. Yabu is rather calm. With an annoying sneer, he grabs both of Yuto’s wrist and easily takes them off his neck.
“I told you Yuto, traitors are not worth kept,” Yabu grips on Yuto’s wrist even harder. “Especially when they betray you the second time.”
Yabu pushes Yuto down. A loud ‘pop’ can be heard as soon as the boy touches the floor, accompanied by loud scream from Yuto. He curls in pain while holding his left shoulder. The additional force from the fall must have caused his left shoulder to be dislocated from its socket.
“Ah… look like I broke something…” Yabu seems satisfied seeing Yuto in such despair. “Mighty Yuto has succumb,” he steps on Yuto’s chest with his right foot.
“You will be missed,” Yabu steps harder, causing the injured boy to scream louder.
“Now, which part of you should I sell?”
------------------
Hikaru stares at the last family photo of him and Yamada with his late wife that is nicely placed on his office table. His eyes are wet from tears. If only he didn’t give in to his desperation at that time. Hikaru regrets the deed that make him trapped in this unlawful contract for the past 15 years.
Worst, his only daughter is on the death bed because of his poor judgement.
This is all my fault.
He was introduced to Yabu’s syndicate when his wife, Rose, didn’t make it to the transplant candidate list. Hikaru was in denial -he refused to accept the fact that Rose was severely ill- mainly due to his own neglect on her cardiac failure symptoms. When the offer of a healthy heart came to him, Hikaru agreed without thinking further, even when it meant dealing with black market and criminals.
Rose’s heart transplant was done in an underground private hospital. Illegal heart transplant means they can’t get proper pre-surgery assessment and post-surgery follow up. Her body rejected the new heart, and slowly she went into failure again. Rose refused to go to the hospital this time. She knew that she is dying, and if her illegal surgery was exposed, Hikaru will end up losing his job and will be imprisoned.
“I would rather die than watching Ryosuke grow up alone.”
His wife died in his arm. The warmth of the woman he loves slowly faded, leaving Hikaru to raise Yamada by himself. Hikaru thought that was the end of it.
He was wrong. With more and more people reported missing a special body was formed to handle the case. Around the same time -2 years after Rose’s death- Yabu came to his house uninvited. Only then Hikaru realized the organs were harvested from the kidnapped victims.
Yabu is cunning. He has ‘cable’ everywhere- politician, police force, and even within the health care system itself. Yabu offered Hikaru a promotion, but in return, he must cover up Yabu’s underground activities at all cost. Of course, it was a one-way deal. Yabu threatened to expose Hikaru’s black market organ purchase. On top of that, that vicious man has set his eyes on Yamada.
Hikaru had no choice but to agree. He sent Yamada to boarding school to keep her safe. He accepted the promotion. Things went well for a while, until the ambitious Okamoto Keito was transferred to the crime unit 4 years ago. Keito began to dig on the missing person files and found concrete evidence of Yabu’s involvement with their kidnapping and illegal human trafficking.
Keito presented his finding to Hikaru- revealing Yuto as his informer. Of course, the man was not aware of the spy camera in Hikaru’s office. Yabu did not waste any time to act the moment he found out. Keito was brutally murdered and Yuto had to pay the price.
Hikaru cups his face. Now that he learns about Yamada’s relationship with Inoo- he feels more guilty than ever. The sins he committed is beyond forgiveness. He fails as a human. He is tired of being Yabu’s puppet.
The phone in Hikaru’s office rings.
“Hello,”
“The boy who died in the luggage is my doing. I want you to wipe all evidence that is connected to me.”
Listening to Yabu’s voice triggers Hikaru’s anger. “I am not taking your order anymore.”
“Don’t try my patience!”
“Officer Takaki is acting on my order. We will bring you to face the law!”
“We had a deal!”
“YOU BREAK THE DEAL!!! I told you not to touch my daughter!!”
There is a moment of silence before Yabu finally speaks. “I did not do anything to your daughter.”
“Bull shit!!!” Hikaru punches the seat next to him. “I have caught your men. They testified that they acted on your order!!! I will not let you go this time!! We will bring you and your organization to justice!!”
“It wasn’t me,” Yabu unexpectedly calm.
“Then who else give the order?!”
“I don’t know.”
“Stop playing dumb!!!”
“You are the dumb one,” Yabu speaks up. “Why would I dig my own grave by breaking my deal with you when I need you to wipe my shit?”
Hikaru becomes stunned. There is logic in Yabu’s statement. Yabu may be everything bad he can think of, but that man always sticks to his words.
“Then who?”
“Not my problem,” Yabu disses. “Wipe my traces! Do it before I really come and end your daughter’s life! You don’t want your daughter ended up like the boy in the same right?”
Hikaru hangs up the call. His head is spinning.
Something is not right. Yabu is usually proud of his crime. He never denies when he is involved with anything. he would even notify Hikaru to cover the evidence that can point to him.
There is only one other possible explanation- someone else is behind Yamada’s attack.
Who? How did this person have access to Yabu’s men?
Who else has grudge on me?
Or maybe… that person has grudge on Yamada?
What is going on?
----------------------
The door to Yabu’s chamber opens. A man in grey wool sweater walks in with a bottle of wine in his hand.
“You look rather dull,” he put the wine bottle into the ice bucket that is prepared on the small dining table. “Your business deal goes wrong?”
Yabu, who is sitting on the 3-seater leather sofa, put his cell phone on the coffee table. “You are late, Arioka.”
Daiki smiles. “Never thought that you will call me again. What happen to your ‘pet’? Did you kill him too?”
Yabu leans his back against the sofa and opens his right arm, signalling Daiki to sit next to him. Daiki walks behind Yabu instead and wraps his hands around the man’s neck.
“I am still your loyal ‘pet’,” Daiki whispers and kisses the left side of Yabu’s neck. “But you seldom call me these days.”
Yabu is not amused. “Looks like the life at the forensic fits you.”
“I must thank you for sending me there. But I am a little hurt that you get someone else to ‘warm’ you in bed. Well, Yuto is hot though. I would 'tasted' him too.”
“What did you do to Yaotome’s daughter?” Yabu asks seriously.
Daiki releases his hug. “Nothing escapes your observation isn’t it, Kota?”
“You know I need Yaotome. I told you to keep an eye on his daughter.”
“And I did.”
“THEN WHY DID YOU ATTACK HER???”
Daiki laughs. “If I can’t have Yamada, then no one else can.
“Yamada belongs to me.”
