Chapter 49: Unfound
(Kohei's POV)
I woke up by the bombarded sound of my ringing phone. I lazily pick it up in the bedside table. I push the answer button and I didn't look at the screen.
"Hello?"
"H-Hello, Kohei." I was taken aback when I recognize the voice in the other line.
"R-Ritsu! What? Why are you calling so early in the morning?" I answered back.
"Am I bothering you that much?" She said with sad tone.
"N-No! Of course, you're not. What is it that you want to talk to me this time?" She pauses for quite some time before she answered again.
"Uhm...I'll tell you later, can you come to the house right now?" I felt nervousness in her tone that it made me worried.
"Is there something wrong, Ritsu?"
"I'll explain to you later...just come here, please?"
"Ok, I'll be there in half an hour." I close my phone and stride across my room to the bathroom, after washing, I dress up and went outside toward our garage. I took my motorcycle key and hop on my bike I haven't rode for a quite a while. I strode outside our house as the morning breeze come touching my face and the sunrays gentle caressing my skin. It just took a few minutes to get to their house. Because their butler recognizes me, he let me in and I park my bike outside their house.
"Is that you, Kohei-san?" Just when I dismounted in my bike, I heard a familiar voice.
"Riku-ossan!"
"I thought you never visit us."
"I really think so too." He walks towards me and pat my shoulder.
"What brought you here so early in the morning? You want to visit Ritsu?" I scratch my nape to hide my embarrassment.
"It's not like that Riku-ossan, it's because..."
"Kohei!" I stop when I heard Ritsu approaching us.
"Hey, Ritsu we are jus---." But before ossan say more. She grabs my arm and drags me inside their house.
"We have something important to discuss." She said bluntly.
"Ok, sweetie, enjoy you two!" Riku-ossan said while waving his hands. While on the hallway, we bump into Lisa-baa-san.
"Oh! Kohei, it's been a while since you came into the house." She excitedly said.
"H-Hey, Lisa-baa-san, good to see you again, I guess."
"Are you doing some hom---."
"Shhh! stop it and come on." She cuts her mother, drags me again, and pushes me inside her room. I heard her slam the door and lock it.
"So? What are we doing here?"
"It's about that mafia thingy?"
"Oh? Is it about Alexis?" She heaves a deep sigh before talking again.
"At first yes, but when I heard the word 'Silver' something inside me want to dig into deeper..." She hesitates and looks around the room.
"What is it?"
"I think I heard it, about a mafia named Insignia" I felt that there is something bad is happening but I can't show it to her. I don't know what is this feeling but it gives me creeps.
"W-Where, Ritsu?"
"Ryu-nii-san...." She whispered.
"What about him?"
