"Calm down dear. We'll soon be able to find our precious little angels." Mr. Hayao tried to calm his wife.
"But. I was just so careless and irresponsible as a mother. I wasn't even able to protect them myself." She cried on his arms.
"We'll be able to find them soon. I believe that they will be returned to us safely." He added and hugged his wife.
He helped his wife to sit on the luxurious couch and held her hand.
"Wait here, ok? I'm going to cook something for you to regain your strength." He said and Mrs. Hayao nodded and forced a smile on her face.
"Good girl." He kissed her on her forehead and went to the kitchen leaving her alone on the living alone with the butler.
A few moments later, the phone rang and the butler answered the call.
"Hello?" He said to the phone.
"Yes. She is here. One moment please." he said and turned to Mrs. Hayao.
"Milady. There someone who wants to speak with you on the phone." he said to her. She stood and went closer to over the call.
"Are you sure you want to take this call Milady?" the butler asked her.
She did not answer but showed a forced smile instead.
"Yes. Milady." He said as if he understood what she said, bowed and handed the phone over to her and excused his self.
She took a deep breath before she started to talk. "Hello. This is Mrs. Hayao speaking." She said with voice trembling a bit.
"Hello Mrs. Hayao. How 'ya doin' today?" a man's voice talked from the other line.
"Sorry. Not in a good tate I guess." She answered.
"Oh. That's sad to hear. Hahahaha. I'm about to give you some good news." The man chuckled.
"What good news might you say?"
"The good news is, I have your precious 'lil angels behaving like good children." As the man said from the other line, her eyes was filled with excitement and her heart was filled with hope.
"Where have you found them?" She asked.
"Where have I found them? Hahahaha. Of course I took them away by force." When she heard those words, she again started to feel anxiousness and nervous.
"Where are they?!" She said almost shouting.
"Hahahaha. 'Wanna talk with them? Sure."
"Aki? Haru? Are you there?" She said as soon as she heard crying voices of children.
"Mama! Where are you?! We're scared!" Cried her helpless twins from the other line which also made her cry.
"Don't worry my little angels. Mommy's gonna go fetch you soon, ok?" She said and her that the phone was being taken back by the man.
"You want to get your daughter's back? Well, that's not gonna be easy. Hahaha." The man from the other line laughed hard.
"Well I'm sure it is gonna be just a piece of cake to you. Just bring a hundred million dollars by tomorrow and we'll give you back these little priceless treasures of yours." He added.
"What do you want in order to give me back my daughters?" She asked bravely holding back her tears.
"You must bring the money at 10 am tomorrow at the old abandoned building around Sierra Avenue. You can only bring your butler to assist with you and no one else."
"Yes." She said but her voice was too low to be heard because she was holding back her tears.
"Am I clear with my words Mrs. Hayao?"
"Yes. If that is what you want, but must never do any harm to the both of them." She bravely said loudly.
"Good. You have my words Mrs. Hayao. You can get your daughters back safe and sound by tomorrow as long as you bring what I told you to bring tomorrow." the man assured her.
"Understood." She answered.
"See you tomorrow then Mrs. Hayao." He bid goodbye to Mrs. Hayao on the phone and the call ended.
"Aki!!! Haru!!!" She burst out in tears crying on the floor as she put the phone down.
"Honey? What happened?" Mr. Hayao rushed to her from the kitchen. Mrs. Hayao told him about the call.
"What a vicious coward he is. Using children to steal a large amount of money is just absurd." He said and contacted the police.
While the band of kidnappers were drinking and dancing like wasted drunkards. A few moments later, they heard a loud banging on the huge iron door.
"Everyone! Grab your guns and position yourselves!" The boss commanded his men.
They all scurried to grab their weapons and waited at the door, but then the loud banging stopped. They all stood still and are on guard in case that something or someone would enter through the door.
Suddenly, the ceiling of the old building collapsed and injured some of them. They all stared at the fallen debris covered with dust smoke and in the middle, there stood a little figure of a person with a long hair.
They stood still alarmed in case that the person would attack any time, but suddenly, the person disappeared from the smoke which shocked them. Then one by one, the men started being attacked from nowhere hitting them hard that made them unconscious.
Quiet as the moon, all the band of kidnappers were lying unconsciously except for their boss, the leader, who fell on his feet scared of not what just happened, but because of the pair of eyes in front and is staring at him.
"Please have mercy." He pleaded with his trembling voice and bowed down as he kept on begging for mercy.
He peeked at the pair of eyes again and saw that it is slowly disappearing but a from the smoke of dust, a girl's appearance showed up. She turned and walked straight to the twins and started to untie them.
When the leader of the kidnappers snapped back to his senses, he realized that it was only a girl and thought that he would just deal with her by killing her, so he pulled his gun at aimed at her head.
He was about to pull the trigger but the girl heard a clicking sound of the gun and jumped high in the air before he could even move and gave him a strong blow that knocked him out of his senses.
As she walked back to the twins, she noticed that they were already awake and was staring blankly at her. She stopped moving and was worried if she gave them a fright or scared them because of what happened.
"Shirome!" They excitedly said in sync with twinkling eyes which gave her a strange feeling. Without thinking twice, they run after her and hugged her.
"Are you really the rumored Shirome?" Aki asked first.
"Did you come to save us?" Haru asked as well but she did not answer as she doesn't seem to understand what they said.
Instead, she took the ropes and started to tie all the unconscious men.
After she was done, tying up all the men, she took the tired sleeping twins to her arms and started walking out of the building.
This time, she did not bring the twins to the police station like what she did before, but instead, she took them straight to their home, the Hayao Mansion.
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Mr. Hayao was just finished talking with the police as he ordered them to be ready for the next day. After putting down the phone, he comforted his wife who was still crying on the couch.
After a few moments later, a maid rushing inside and tripped herself.
