Chapter 48 - Hurry!

The door continued banging. And no matter how much Ayumi called Sanyu, it went straight to voicemail. With a heavy kick, Yoroku knocked the door open. His men gathered around and searched through the apartment. "She's in the room boss," one of his men said.

He smirked as he walked towards the room. Ayumi hid in the closet, though she knew she'd be found regardless. There was nowhere to hide whereas they cannot find her at all. Yoroku knocked on the door, "We win. Come on out pretty girl." She hid quietly. "Ayumi~~ don't make me break this door open too~" he sang.

Again, she hid quietly. Heart beating fast, filled with terror, she thinks to herself, 'Why do bad things always happens to me?' Yoroku broke the door open, and as if he knew where she hid, he yanked the closet open and grabbed her. Ayumi cried and screamed, "Let go of me!" She tried to fight back to escape.

However, he placed a piece of cloth over her nose and mouth which had some kind of drug on it. Slowly, she became weak, and fainted into his arms.

'Get rid of her,' Yoroku kept thinking of CEO Mira's words. Without looking back at his men, he spoke, "Take her into the car and lets go." "Yes boss!" They replied. He grabbed a hold of Ayumi's phone, which fell out of her pocket and turned it off, "You'll be quite useful."

Sanyu was finally on his break, quickly he took his phone out and saw that he had 17 missed calls from her. Worried that she might've needed something, he contacted her. The call led right to her voicemail. "Huh? She's not picking up now? Is her phone dead?" He questioned himself.

Kaya and Yuuto were out spending their time together at an arcade building. While playing games, Kaya's phone rang. She answered, "Hello?" "Kaya, is Ayumi with you?" Sanyu asked. "No, she's not, I'm out with Yuuto only. Why?" She replied. "Ayumi isn't picking up my calls, I have 17 missed calls from her. She might've needed something and I'm quite worried," he explains.

Kaya gives a strange look to Yuuto and continues talking to Sanyu, "17 missed calls?? That surely doesn't sound good at all. Yuuto and I will go check up on her at her apartment." The couple still doesn't know that Sanyu and Ayumi are currently living together for now. "Ah, not at her apartment, she slept over at my apartment yesterday and wanted to hang out there until I came back home," he lied.

"Oh? She's over there? Alright we'll go check it out," Kaya says. "Yeah, thanks. I have to go now though, text me later if she's alright or not. Sorry for bothering you," he tells her. "That's what friends are for. Haha, alright I'll too get going now. I'll text you later to," She smiles. Sanyu hangs the call up and sighs, "I hope she's alright."

Kaya looks at Yuuto, "We gotta go to Sanyu's Apartment to see if Ayumi is doing well." He stops his shooting game, "Sure."

Awhile later, Kaya and Yuuto arrives at Sanyu's apartment. Kaya rings the doorbell. Yuuto leans back on the rail, "You sure she's here?" "Yeah, Sanyu said she's here," Kaya replied. They waited a bit and Ayumi did not open the door. Kaya rang the doorbell again, "Come on, open the door Ayumi. Don't tell me she's sleeping."

Yuuto runs his finger through his hair, "She's probably out shopping and maybe left her phone here." Kaya pouts, "You never know though." "Lets asks the neighbors then," Yuuto insisted. "Why not," Kaya agreed. They rang the neighbor's doorbell. An old woman opened the door, "Hello? How can I help you?"

"Oh, uh, my friend that lives next door to you on your left, do you know if she's home or not?" Kaya asked the old woman. "Ahh yes! I happened to see her leave not too long ago. Said she was going to meet her boyfriend at work," the old woman put a smile on her face. Kaya looks back at Yuuto, "What the heck?"

He shrugged his shoulders. She looks back at the old woman, "Thank you for letting me know! Have a nice day!" "You too," the old woman closed the door. Kaya texted Sanyu, 'She's okay. The neighbor said she talked to Ayumi and said that she's coming to meet you.' "So.. do we just go back?" Yuuto asks Kaya. "We'd have to pay again if we want to go back to the arcade, let's just go home for now," she told him. Together, they walked to her house.

Ayumi woke up, her blurred eyesight slowly focusing. She groans, "Where...am I..?" "You're finally awake," a voice across the room speaks. She stood up and saw Yoroku, sitting in a chair in the corner of the huge luxurious room. He stands up and walks towards her. Ayumi gets off the bed, "What did you do to me?"

He looks at her, "I didn't do anything to you, don't worry much." "So then.. where am I?" Ayumi asked him with a shaking heart. "Obviously my house. Where else?" He turns away to look out the window.

Ayumi slowly moves away from the bed. Yoroku grabs her arm, "You're not going anywhere." She yells back hoping for someone to hear and rescue her, "ARGH!! LET GO OF ME!" He laughs, "Yell all you want. This is a soundproof room. No one will be able to hear your screams." Boldly, Ayumi slaps his across his face, "I hate you!!"

He looks at her, "You dare touch me? I didn't even touch you at all? Originally the plan here was for me to kill you off, however I couldn't do such thing to you. Why? Because I can see, that you did no huge wrongdoing to deserve that. Yet you want to tick me off.." She backs up without saying anything back.

Yoroku grabs Ayumi and throws her onto the bed and locks her in place, "Do you know what happens to people when they dare hit me?" Unable to move, she becomes traumatized of the day where her house was broken into. She begins to sadly cry out heavy tears, "I didn't do anything please let me go.."

Seeing that she cried, he lets go of her and wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry I scared you," he apologizes. She sits up and continues to cry, that moment had brought her too much fear to handle. Yoroku hugs her, "I'm not partnering up with CEO Mira. Actually, I only came to help save you from her." Ayumi pushes Yoroku away and looks up at him, "CEO Mira is behind all of this..?"

After work, Sanyu looks at Kaya's text. He thinks to himself, "But I never told Ayumi where I work at.. how can she possibly—" His eyes widens, "Did she get lost?!" Quickly he contacted Ayumi's phone.

Yoroku answered the call for Ayumi, "Hello?" Sanyu's heart stopped heating for a second, why was it that Ayumi didn't answer but some guy did? "Who the hell are you?! Why do you have my girlfriend's phone?!" Sanyu angered. "If you want to save her, come to 7219 127th Avenue, she's here. Hurry! Before she dies in my own hands," Yoroku then hangs up the call.

Sanyu immediately rushes to get a taxi and go to the place he was told. Ayumi looks at Yoroku, "Was that Sanyu?" "You bet it was," he throws her phone next to her. "Sanyu.." her tears came out again. "Ah, but the address I told him wasn't this place," Yoroku slicked his hair back. "You lied to him?!" Ayumi stood up. "It's CEO Mira's company," he put on a smile.
