Takanori slowly opened his eyes. The room was dark, cold, and he felt like he was sitting on concrete. The floor was a bit cold. Takanori tried moving his arm, but couldn't. His hands were tied together behind his back and his ankles were tied together. Takanori felt tears roll down his cheeks. "Hello?!!" Takanori yelled. Suddenly, a door opened. Takanori had now noticed he was in a finished basement. There was a small laugh coming from a deep voiced male. The deep voiced male walked towards Takanori.
"Well hello there. Did you sleep well?" the guy asked and put his hand on Takanori's tear stained cheek. "You're cold..." Takanori didn't say one word. He was silent.
"Leave me alone..." Takanori commanded quietly and started to cry. The male stared at the crying Takanori. "Let me go...."
"No." The guy stood up and kicked Takanori's side causing him to fall on his sides. Takanori screamed in pain. "By the way... this is Lee..." Lee left the room and came back with a razor. He walked over to Takanori who was lying on the floor on his back. He jabbed the razor into Takanori's thigh and took it back out. He screamed in pain saw the blood trail down his thigh. Lee untied Takanori wrists and left the basement, closing and locking the door. Takanori touched the wound on his thigh and saw the blood on his hands. He cried and saw the razor on the floor sitting next to him. He grabbed it and slit thin lines on his wrists. Blood dripped from the lines. He threw the razor at the wall and cried again. "Fuck you!!!!" Takanori yelled and sobbed.

Akira is sitting by his desk writing on his paper work. He stopped writing and grabbed the brown folder with Takanori's info on it. He opened the folder and saw the cute picture of his friend. He sighed and dropped a tear onto the photo. "I hope he's alright..." he said to himself. He then grabbed the brown folder with Takanori's parents info. Suddenly, Yuu came in with a cup of coffee in hand.
"Aki... are you okay?" He asked and handed Akira his coffee. Akira was "ignoring" Yuu while he was looking through folders and trying to figure out stuff.
"Aren't you supposed to be working on this case too?" Akira asked but not eyeing Yuu.
"I guess.... Our boss didn't really give me a specific task... so... I don't know what to do right now." Yuu relaxed on the chair and sighed. "I'm sorry Akira about what happened. I've been kinda heartbroken too."
"Why?"
"Because..." Yuu sat up on the chair. "I can definitely see something. I can see love between you two. Takanori would be very happy to go with you. And I can see how much you love the dude. But that's why you have friends to be by your side. You've been disconsolate for a week now." Yuu frowned and saw the disconsolate look on his friends face. Akira lied his head on the desk and sighed deeply.
"I need aspirin..." Akira said and groaned. Yuu sighed at his friend's depression.
"C'mon Akira... I'm taking you out for lunch." Yuu stood up and grabbed Akira by the arm. They both walked out the office and out of the police headquarters. They went to a café which was down the street. They sat down at a table and waited for a waitress or waiter. Akira was silent. The waiter came to the table with a note pad.
"May I take you two orders?" The waiter said. Yuu ordered first.
"Can I have a mocha latte? And for him a caramel late." Yuu said and smiled. The waiter wrote it down and left the table. Akira finally spoke.
"You didn't have to order for me..." He said quietly. Yuu shrugged and sighed.
"Want a kit kat bar?" Yuu asked holding out a kit kat bar. Akira shook his head and put his hands on his lap and laid back on the cushioned chair. He pursed his lips and sighed. "Wow... I have never seen you like this ever." Yuu arched an eyebrow and saw the waiter bring their lattes.
"Free refills you guys." He said and smiled, then, walked away. Yuu sipped his latte. It was sweet and chocolatey. Akira didn't touch his latte, but then his arm shook when he picked it up and sipped it. He sat it back down on the table slowly and rubbed his arms. It was a bit cold in the café.
"I'm hungry..." Akira said quietly. Yuu went to the front desk and asked for the waiter. They went back to the table. "may I have a muffin please?" Akira asked quietly.
"Okay. Be right back with your muffin." The waiter said and left the table once again. Akira laid his head on the table and coughed.
"My life is hell." Akira said and sighed.
"Akira...." Yuu called out and patted his friend's head. The waiter came back with the muffin, sat it on the table, and left the table once again. Akira sat up and took a piece of it and ate it.
"Why are you watching me eat my muffin?" Akira asked and gave Yuu a look.
"You need to brighten up Suzuki. I am, too, sad that Takanori was kidnapped, but I don't want you to be miserable for the rest of your life." Yuu said. Akira looked at Yuu.
"Do you know how hard it is to be happy when someone I actually love deeply is gone?! I can't just sit here and fucking ignore the fact that I don't have Takanori anymore!! You can't just tell me to brighten up when I really can't!! What if this happened to someone you love. Would I be telling you to brighten up and forget that that person is gone? No... I don't think I fucking would... Bye Shiroyama." Akira fussed nearly yelling and left the café. People were looking and continued doing what they were doing. He walked away from the café not knowing where he's going. Yuu sat in the café alone at his table and just thought about Akira's words. Akira himself thought about what he said. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and saw a necklace on the ground. He examined it and noticed it had a beautiful diamond in the middle of it. "Takanori would love this..." Akira said to himself and felt a tear stream down his face.
"Hey!" A girl called from across the street. Akira looked at the female. "You're that guy from that police headquarters."
"Uhh.... yeah." Akira arched an eyebrow at the her.
"You're cute." She smiled and looked down at him and moved closer to him.
"Back the fuck up.." Akira commanded and held out his hands to tell her to back up.
"I'm a female prostitute. I want that cock of yours." She puts her hand on Akira's front and rubs it.
"Stop it!! I'm not single!" Akira pushed the girl and she hit her bottom on the ground. Akira ran away from the girl.
"Hmm.... Why isn't he interested?" The girl walked away.
Akira continued walking to his unknown destination. He stopped at a general store and walked in. He was a bit hungry, so, he just bought a bag of chex mix. He walked out the general store and continued walking down the street. But suddenly came to a block that Takanori lived in. His house was right in front of Akira. There was tape that said "Condemned" crossed on the doors. Akira walked up the porch and opened the door. It was dark inside the house. He turned on the lights and explored the house. It smelt like corpses mixed with incense. He noticed the blood still on the floors. The couch was covered in plastic. There was glass on the floor too. He walked in the kitchen and saw that it was completely tidy and clean. Akira then went upstairs to Kouyou's bedroom first. Blood on the floor. He went in Takanori's room also. His room was the cleanest and smelt amazing.
"Why did this have to happen?" Akira asked himself. He went back downstairs and decided to clean the house. He grabbed the mop and mopped the hardwood living room floors. After that, he swept the glass off the floor and cleaned the little bits of mess from the party. He took the plastic off the couch and sprayed air refresher. He wiped the tables and sprayed the couch with linen spray. Now the house was tidy and clean. Now he had to do upstairs. He grabbed the mop and etc. and cleaned the upstairs. After an hour, everything was clean. He sighed in relief. This made him feel a bit happy, but not enough. he went downstairs and turned the light off. Then, left the house. He tore off the tape and locked the door. He sighed and walked away from the house.

Takanori hugged his knees to his chest. He was very cold and needed warmth. Thirsty and needed water. Hungry and needed food. He stood up and stumbled from the pain in his leg. He walked up the stairs and heard the guys talking.
"So what are we gonna do now boss? The police will find us sooner or later." Yoka asked.
"They won't. Do you not see my whole army of guns." Lee said. Takanori gasped in fright and began shaking. He quietly walked down the basement stairs and fell from the 4th stair hurting his leg because he couldn't see.
"Damn it!" He whispered loudly. He stood up and limped to his spot at the corner. He hugged his knees to his chest and cried. Why am I stuck in this mess? Takanori thought. He made a deep sigh and felt his stomach grumble. "I'm hungry... no.... Starving." Takanori said to himself. He notice there was a refrigerator on the other corner. He crawled over to it. He opened the refrigerator and saw that there was nothing but beers in it. Takanori rolled his eyes and closed the refrigerator.
"I'm so hungry..." he whined. He went back to his corner and heard a car door slam. It was now quiet upstairs. Everyone left. Takanori quietly went upstairs and turned the nob to the basement door. It's locked? It's locked! He went back down the basement stairs and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhgggghhhh!!!!!" Then, he started to have a huge headache. He lied down on the floor holding his sides and cried.
"Akira......" he whispered as he cried.
