Akio approached the boot and opened the zipper of the bag containing Clover. The hand he had just used to kill the three kidnappers, he used to caress Clover's cheek and also smoothed some of the hair that covered his beloved's calm face.
"This day has finally come, Babe. In a little while, I'll take you to a place where no one will spoil our happiness." Akio's eyes glazed over. He was moved by the moment he could touch Clover as he pleased.
"We're leaving now, Babe," he continued, kissing Clover's forehead before starting the boot's engine.
Who knows where Akio will take Clover, but it's definitely a place that only he and his confidant will find.
Meanwhile, at the site of Clover's abduction, there were already many police cars led by Ben's friend. Everyone was startled by the screeching tires of a car that braked hard. It was Joe, who had just arrived in a hurry.
