Chapter 18 - Missing

"It's been 2 weeks since the bombing incident at Laplace Restaurant, Kanagawa Central Mall, and the Pachinko Parlor. Until this day the Harmony Duo still doesn't make a move...The case has gotten too complicated for us to navigate so nany things have changed but there is still one thing that remains the same. I still don't feel good about Shinji and Arata." Takahiro taught to himself as him and Haruko are about to step outside of their house.

You better hurry up there, it's your brother's death anniversary we shall get there early and pay him a visit so that we won't get late at school too! Takahiro shouted at Haruko who is still wearing some make up in her room.

Coming! Haruko shouted back with a sigh.

"That's right I have a twin brother who we believe is missing. Days after we got born the hospital that we are admitted in got burned and I was that only one who got saved back then but since we didn't see his remains we believe that he is still alive right now." Haruko taught to herself as she come downstairs in a hurry.

Let's go, Dad! Haruko said enthusiastically, adjusting her glasses.

Great, Let's hurry up then. Takahiro said with his usual stern expression.

After minutes of driving they finally arrived in the cemetery.

"I don't know but nowadays...I feel like I am too close to my son. Am I just being paranoid because of this case?" Takahiro taught to himself as he stairs in the place where his son gets buried.

Dad, Seems like you're thinking about something. Mind sharing it with me? Haruko said with a concern tone.

I just spaced out for a moment, I am sorry. Takahiro said gently as he pats Haruko's head. Offer up the flowers that we bought for him, we'll go to school at 7:30 A.M. Takahiro said turning back to his usual stern expression.

Haruko just chuckles and just did what Takhiro said.

Let's go, Dad! We might get late if we stay a bit longer! Haruko said, adjusting her glasses.

Yes, right! Takahiro take one last glance and a gentle touch at the place where his son is buried and then they left the cemetery.

In the schoolgates...

A strong wind passed by to Arata and Shinji and Arata failed something strange...

"What was that? Why do I feel a touch...Maybe this was just a fatigue." Arata taught to himself while shaking his head.

What's up with you all of a sudden? Shinji asks.

No, nothing. Arata said coldly while still shaking his head gently Pass this message later to Kaori "We will soon begin the execution of our third bombing plan." Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.

Copy that! Shinji said with a playful tone.

Shut it, someone might here you! Arata said, scratching his head Let's just go. Arata said with a sigh.

"Come to me if you dare...I am ready for the both of you Takahiro and Angeline." Arata taught to himself with a cold smirk in his face.

Hmmm...Shinji playfully hums and elbows Arata.

What was that for?! Arata said, brushing off Shinji gently.

Another banter between the two started as they walk to enter the entrance gate of the school.

Back in Takahiro's car...

Goddamn, seems like we'll be late we got caught on a traffic... Takahiro said clearly upset about things then lets out a sigh of defeat Seriously? He mutters to himself.

So, it's been two weeks right? Since their last move...Dad. Haruko said with a concerned tone They're probably laying low right now, planning for their next attack! Haruko said coldly, adjusting her glasses.

Yes, it's obvious that that was the cause behind their sudden hiatus. Takahiro clears his throat I have a feeling that soon enough they're going to make their move...we should be ready. and remember our terms! Takahiro said coldly.

Yes dad, I am ready. Haruko said with a newfound determination.

"I don't know but even in what happened in the Pachinko Parlor Bombing Case, I still believe that those two...Arata and Shinji is still suspicious." Haruko taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.

"Why do I feel like something big is about to happen." Takahiro taught to himself.

Back in the Sakurazaka Highschool Schoolgate...

Madame, we're here! Donovan said calmly as he calmly opened the door of the limousine.

Angeline gets out of the limousine and emerges outside with a psychotic grin.

Very good, Donovan! You can wait for me nearby, make sure that you won't cause a scene here. Angeline said coldly.

Donovan obliged and parked the car where the school is still visible.

Everything has been set Angeline said with a mocking tone GAME ON, ARATA! She mutters to herself with an arrogant tone

"Finally, I have lived for this day to come...and at last it finally did! you're going down now...I have never been able to win against you but right now I assure you, I WILL EMERGE AS THE ONLY VICTOR OF OUR LITTLE GAME." Angeline taught to herself with a menacing chuckle.

Let the game begins!
