“Is she alone?”, Yoshio asked.

Isao quickly moved to the door without averting his eyes from the bewildered man and locked the heavy door of the room. He then whispered into the earpiece, “Seems like he is alone…”

Isao strode closer to the man who now started to shout at the top of his voice, “WHO ARE YOU?! GET OUT! I WILL CALL THE COPS!”

“Stop shouting, dear. Be a good boy…”, Isao said in an uninterested tone.

“I AM NOT AFRAID! I AM CALLING THE GUARDS! THEY ARE JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR!”

“Ah! the scum bag’s being noisy…Isao”, Yoshio said through the earpiece.

“Yeah, I know what to do.”, Isao said and pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man; he started searching for the documents, still pointing the gun at the man.

It took no longer than ten minutes before Isao cried, “Yoshi! I got it!”

“Good, use the window on the right end. We got five more minutes till the next guard on shift comes into the room for a check.”, Yoshio said.

Isao stuffed the documents into his backpack and moved towards the window, but before he pulled himself out of the room, he saw the man’s face. The man was no longer afraid, but he looked confused, “Yoshi…?”, he mumbled and asked in a steady voice, “Did you just say ‘Yoshi’?”

Isao stood there, not knowing what the man was thinking as he saw the man walk briskly towards him. The man seemed to have completely forgotten the gun in Isao’s hand.

“Hey! Go away!”, Isao waved the gun in his hand threateningly, but that seemed to have made no difference as the man didn’t stop.

“I want to see your face.”, he said and tried to pull down Isao’s mask. Isao, shocked, quickly decided to get rid of the man and put the muzzle against the man’s head, but he stopped dead when there came a knock from the door accompanied by a voice, “Kazan? Why are you taking so long and why did you lock the door?”

Isao heard from the earpiece, “Isao! What the heck! Move your ass! The guards are at the door!”

Isao pushed the man hard onto the floor only to realize that the man had gotten hold of his face mask and had taken it off with him when he hit the floor. The man turned swiftly and stared at Isao’s face.

Isao did not wait a second, he pulled the mask from the man and put it on. He grabbed the man onto his feet and stuck the gun onto his back. He pushed the man towards the door and said to the earpiece, “The scum saw my face. I am using him to escape, come to the back exit.”

Isao made the man open the door and soon saw no less than ten armed guards out there. Isao pushed the man to make him walk out.

“KAZAN!”, cried several of the security guards.

“Put your guns down or this scum is leaving the world…”, Isao said lazily and pushed Kazan into the emergency exit nearby. He broke into a run, pulling Kazan all the way and pushed him into a jet black van waiting outside.
