Chapter Eight Perplexed
Satomi
We all had fell asleep in Boss's room after the mission. I woke up with a start to find that the ripped up picture pieces was still not together. A very minute chance of piecing it together laid front of me. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was three in the morning. Determined to piece it back together, I shoved the picture into the paper bag, ran into Riki's and my room, and laid the pieces on the small table. Let's see, this piece looks like a piece of someone's hair and that looks like a man's mouth... After an hour of struggle, I was halfway finished and Takuto woke up walking towards me.
"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked tiredly.
"Trying to piece this together." I replied sticking another piece to it. He pulled up a chair and sat next to me starting to put the fragments of the picture.
"Shut up. Don't say anything. I'm just trying to pass time." he snapped with a blush without glancing at me. I smiled and got back to work. An hour later, we were finished and the boys woke up to see what we were doing.
"Oh! You're finished!" said Hiro. We all peered at it. It was a photograph of a yoing girl on her father's shoulders. Is that me? Confused, we began discussing it.
"So what do we do with it?" asked Kenshi.
"I dunno." replied Hiro.
"Well, have you tried flipping it over?" asked Riki. Ah! That's a good idea. We carefully flipped the pieces over revealing a paragraph. Another letter from me?
Dear Father,
I miss you so much since you've gone, but that only motivates me to try harder. I swear to you that I will ***** ** ******* murderer. Step Mom treats us horribly, especially Masako and Hana, but I guess you could say that I still love her. She still feeds us. But ***** ************ funeral was yesterday leaving all of us thoroughly depressed. I keep a gun ** ** **** ***** ***** **** ** **** he comes again. Thanks again for being a great dad.
Love Satomi Sanazaki
I closed my eyes in thought. Lots of the words are unreadable due to age or someone damaging them. This is all too confusing for me. Letting out a sigh, the boys crowded around menonce more and wore serious looks on their faces.
"Murderer? Funeral? Gun?" asked Hiro. We all stood there puzzled at the letter with weird information.
"Guys, we've got to go back to Ginza." Boss said sternly. We all nodded and dressed into casual clothes an left for a long road trip.

I sat quietly in the jail cell chained by my hands to the wall. Four teens sat with me, except they were caged. Damn is this stupid. Of course Tanako has to abduct me again. Then, the door opened causing the four teens to jump. I narrowed my eyes as Tanako walked towards me. His smirk annoyed the living shit out of me.
"Ah! Sis! Nice to see you again!" he cried grabbing my chin and lifting it up. I kicked his shins causing him to fall backwards.
"Shut the hell up. I have no intention of ever being your sibling." I growled. Angered, he got up and glared at me intimidatingly. I glared back despite how much bigger he was than me until he turned around to walk away.
"Goodbye for now. And just saying, they've found Satomi." My eyes widened in shock. They have? "But, they've also figured out that she has amnesia." What? Dammit! Althought hurt and anger and curiosity threatened to come out of me, but I kept an unwavering expression as he walkednout of the room and closed the door. That's it! I need to get out of this wretched place. I placed my feet on the wall that bounded me with chains, and kicked off as hard as I could. Pain shot through my arm, but I kept doing it until I saw the chains slightly come out and rubble fall. My teeth clenched together, and I begankicking away at the chain until it completely came out. Reaching out for the keys above me, a sharp pain ran through my head and I passed out.
Satomi
Our long road trip came to an end as we arrived at LRN. Hiro and Takuto fell over the tables in exhaustion while Kenshi said his goodbyes and headed home. Riki and I headed up stairs to the room and we collapsed on the bed on our backs.
"That was tiring." he said. I nodded quietly and we looked at eachother and laughed as we remembered Takuto and Hiro nearly kissing when Kenshi made a rough turn. Hiro teased Takuto all about it during the ride.
"You can take the shower first if you want." I said.
"Ladies first. Oh wait, you're not a lady." he sneered teasingly. I playfully hit his chest and pouted making us laugh out loud again. Wiping a tear from my eye, I nodded, grabbed some clothes and the picture secretly behind Riki's back, and went to take a bath. As I sat in the hot water, I reread the letter and felt clueless as I kept hitting dead ends. Defeated, I laid the photo/letter on the sink and washed myself. After about twenty minutes, I drained the water, dried myself off and put on clothes, and grabbed the letter and slept in my bed peacefully.
