chapter 22: escape while you can

[saito gets a call from inaba]

Saito: hello?.

Inaba: how's everything coming along?.

Saito: Everything is set, you'll be hidden for another week at this rate.

Inaba: good.. That gives enough time to find a way out of the city.

Saito: How are you planning on escaping the city?.. The military has walls put up all around.

Inaba: don't worry, I have my ways.

Saito: ok.

Inaba: also shows that power I gave you?.

Saito: the organ strand?.

Inaba: yes.

Saito: oh.. It's doing fine. I took control of one of the enemy division leaders.

Inaba: good.. You do know you can do more with the organ strand right?.

Saito: I can?.

Inaba: yes.. You can manipulate anything in the body.

Saito: Wait so I can manipulate blood as well?.

Inaba: yes.. You can create anything out of anyone's blood.

Saito: ok ill try that out.

Inaba: great.

[inaba hangs up]

[saito looks at his hands]

Saito: will it be a risk if I try to manipulate blood?.

[saito looks up at the sky]

Saito: I wonder how powerful my organ strand can become?.

[hatano paces around waiting for new information on the mission]

Hatano: I haven't heard anything in a while.. I wonder if everything is ok.

[ise calls hatano]

Hatano: hello?.

Ise: hatano.. You need to get out of there now!.

Hatano: why?.

Ise: I looked at one of the division's cameras and someone is mind controlling them.

Hatano: what?.

Ise: inaba has men working for him.. Everyone that is there with you needs to get out.

Hatano: We can stop them.

Ise: NO!.. you and your group need to head to the outskirts immediately.

Hatano: ok.

[ise hangs up]

Hatano: Well that sucks.

[yoichi looks at hatano surprised]

Yoichi: What's wrong?.

Hatano: [sigh] ise just called and said we need to leave to the outskirts immediately.

Yoichi: why?.

Hatano: because inaba has men working for him and they dont want us risking anything.

Yoichi: ok.. Ill go find the kids and tell them.

Hatano: ok.

[yoichi walks outside of the headquarters]

Yoichi: kids.. We need to leave hatano got a call that said we need to leave here immediately.

Yadara and narimo: ok.

[yadara and narimo run inside with yoichi]

Yadara: So what's going on?.

Hatano: inaba has men working for him.

Narimo: couldn't we fight them too?.

Hatano: That's what i was thinking but ise wants us to head for the outskirts till they find out what powers they have.

[yadara and narimo look at hatano surprised]

Yadara: they don't have to know why don't we just stay

Hatano: They have trackers on our vehicles so they know if we've left or not.

Yadara: ok.. When will we be ready to leave?.

Hatano: as soon as we head outside.

Yadara: ok.

[yadara,yoichi,narimo and hatano head outside to the truck]

Hatano: ok.. Now we head for the outskirts till we can find a plan.

[yadara,yoichi,narimo and hatano get in the truck and head for the outskirts]

Yadara: I still don't understand why we don't just stay back and fight.

[yoichi puts his hand on yadaras shoulder]

[yadara looks at yoichi surprised]

Yoichi: It'll be fine.. We need to find out a plan anyways.

Yadara: yeah.

[hatano smiles at yoichi]

Yoichi: what?.

Hatano: Oh nothing.

Yoichi: no seriously.. What's going on?.

[hatano blushes]

Hatano: It's nothing, you just look like a dad.

Yoichi: what?.. No, I don't.

[yadara and narimo look over at yoichi and hatano]

Yadara and narimo: we dont mind.

[yoichi looks at yadara and narimo surprised]

Yoichi: what?.

Narimo: We don't mind if you act like our dad.. Its actually reassuring

Yoichi: really?.

Yadara: yeah.. Even though it's tough to say we're glad you act like our dad since we haven't had a father to teach us much.

[yoichi hugs yadara and narimo]

Yoichi: kids.. I'm glad you think of me as a father figure, I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.

Yadara and narimo: thank you.

[yadara,yoichi,narimo and hatano arrive at the gate of the outskirts]

Hatano: We're here.
