Part 10
This life is like a dimly illuminated room. It has shadows that lurk menacingly…laughing at our fear of the secrets they hold within. The thread of fate weaves an intricate pattern…like a spider web sparkling in the moonlight forcing us to tread with utmost caution, trying our best to not get tangled in their deadly mold.
I grope about in the darkness…it’s terrifying and lonely…it’s terrifying because it’s lonely…
I will continue to search, for any trace of you…even if we are lost within these shadows.
Yokoyama closes the door and steps lightly, eyes upon the pale figure on the hospital bed. There are multiple wires and tubes connecting his body to machines, a bottle of saline and a bottle of blood…one of many within the past few months.
“How is he doing doctor?”
The doctor looks up from the file in his hand and eyes him inquiringly through his square spectacles. Recognizing the officer, he strides towards him with a polite smile and shakes his hand in greeting.
“There is improvement in his condition and he is healing…slowly but surely,”
“Although I must say that this child is extremely lucky, when you brought him in, he had multiple fractures and horrible wounds, he had also lost a lot of blood…if you had delayed any further…we would have lost him that night…dare I say it was a miracle,”
“The school gardener alerted the police, he said a student went into the school after hours and didn’t come out for a while,” Yokoyama replied.
“I heard he fell from quite a height, you and I examined him together and he had awful scratches all over his body and leaves in his hair, as if he had fallen through branches,” the doctor sighs.
“He probably fell into that tree and tried to halt his fall, I bet he only fell a floor or two the most, the palms of his hands had the signs…he had clutched onto the branches to slow his fall,”
“Why? Did he back out after jumping?”
“No, he had regained consciousness an hour after he was brought into the emergency remember?”
“And I heard you two had a talk,”
“Yes…he said that there was a man up on the roof with him,”
“Have you identified him?”
“Yes, he’s a wanted criminal…it’s just the authorities won’t believe me when I tell them that a wanted criminal had gained access into a school without alerting anyone…apparently, such an accusation would be tarnishing the department’s reputation,”
“Tell me though, why did you announce his death even though he is still alive?”
“It was his request and as long his family is aware of it…we’ll be fine,”
“Why?”
“He wanted the criminal to assume him dead, to protect his family and friends and I bet he very well understood that we have not enough evidence to charge that man for attempted assassination, he escaped from jail apparently…and even if we catch him and just in case he escapes again (since him doing the first time was already considered an impossible feat)… he would definitely come after these boys again,”
“Boys?”
“Yes…there is another that Sawaguchi, the criminal is after and I did some research on him, seems like he will soon be placed into my department for an internship as a Crime Photographer,”
“That’s pretty convenient isn’t it?”
“We’ll catch that man and end his escapades for sure, but we have to tread with caution…he was only sentenced to life long imprisonment for murdering his partner in crime…the law is very intricate and he we have to act accordingly, this boy here…he’ll help me achieve that goal,”
The doctor nods with a sigh. Yokoyama’s alert gaze spots movement of the boy’s fingers and he strides over to his bedside, peering down at him. His eyes flutter open, revealing deep seated chocolate brown orbs. He touches the oxygen mask over his face and Yokoyama nods before pulling it down.
“Hey there,” he begins returning the smile the younger gives him.
“Partner.”

Thank u so much for your patience and i will upload the next part very soon.
