Chapter 30:

Something has Happened Here.

Hang in There Mister Guard!


The guy who Ryoichi always forgets its name was walking towards the security room quickly. He seemed worried after hearing all over the mall that there was an attempt or robbery in the food stands zone. He wasn’t there because he asked Ryoichi to cover him while he went to the bathroom, so he was rushing towards the security room to know what happened. He arrived there and opened the door abruptly, inside there was the robber sitting with his hands tied by the handcuffs behind the chair and Ryoichi sitting in front of him. “Good afternoon Ikeda-san.” Said Ryoichi. He took a minute to look at the aggressor in the eyes and to catch his breath, then answered: “Not so good, it seems, what’s the situation?” “You don’t know?” Asked Ryoichi. Ikeda didn’t answer, he still seemed a little bit shocked by the news. “Well it doesn’t really matter, go back to your area.” Said Ryoichi. “But we should-” “Everything will be resolved by the competent authorities, go back to your designated area as soon as possible. We don’t want a second occurrence today, do we?” “No sir. I’m heading out now.” And he left the room after that. After waiting a couple of seconds, Ryoichi turned towards the suspect and asked him: “What’s wrong? You seemed intrigued by my fellow guard’s voice.” “I’m not sure, but I think I have heard that voice before.” “Is that so? Well, we’ll find out later about it. Now let’s continue our conversation, you were saying that this was actually a hox? That you know the woman you were supposedly robing and that it was all planned by someone else?”
