HIM

Inspection

"Suzu!" a voice whispers. "Suzu, wake up!"

I hear someone call out to me. They seemed distressed, I should probably reply.

"Akio?" another voice calls out. "Akio please wake up... you're safe now!"

"This is all my fault!" the voices say simultaneously.

I opened my eyes and found myself lying uncomfortably on cold concrete. It was still dark out so I'm guessing much time didn't pass since then. Voices and murmurs filled the road and the once tranquil and silent street was now infused with chaos. I felt the stares of countless eyes observing me. It was chilling.

" Akio! You're awake thank god." Olive exclaimed.

Steadily, I rose up and and I experienced a striking epiphany. The delinquents who harassed us were now lying on the floor besides me, squirming in agony. They lost their cocky personas and pleaded for help, sobbing and screeching like newborn babies. It was a truly dissatisfying sight. I glanced around and before me stood numerous worried faces, many of whom I recognised. They lived in the neighbourhood and I often saw them around but why were they here? Everyone looked terrified, which is a normal reaction to seeing a couple of kids being harassed by old men but I couldn't help but feel like they were terrified.... of us? In the distance, piercing siren sounds could be heard. The police finally arrived leaving me with a sense of relief. This was one eventful night and finally it was over. Three police officers walked towards us, two of them were holding handcuffs and one held a notebook and was jotting things down.
"This isn't enough handcuffs for every one of these guys." I thought to myself

A frail, old woman pointed over at us with a troubled expression on her face. She then spoke these words "Yes officer, those kids over there!"

"Thank you." One of the officers replied taking out a document.

"Oliver Cruz? You are under arrest for the suspicion of attempted murder, Akio Suzuki you are under arrest for guilt by association" The officer declared

What?

"Wait what? No officer you've got it all wrong!" I shout as they lock my arms in handcuffs disregarding the fact that I was hurt.

"Anything you say or do can be used against you in the court of law." The officer replied.

"Akio, it's okay just do what they say!" Olive whispered

Promptly, the police officers led us to their car and pushed us in. I couldn't remember anything that happened or why we the ones being arrested when we did nothing wrong. I had a feeling that Olive may have had something to do with this but I was hesitant to ask.
"You're probably wondering if this is my fault huh?" She said

"Are you a psychic or something." I laughed

"Well, I am just as clueless as you are. All I remember is that we were on the verge of being beat to a pulp." Olive exclaimed

~fuck~

"Wait I remember something!" She suddenly called out "A man with white hair came to you Akio."

"A man with white hair?" I mutter to myself "Do you remember anything else?" I asked Olive

"Nah not really I'm sorry." she replied

"Anywho. Those men clearly held a grudge against you right, what did you do to make them so mad?" I asked
