Sundeen

Chapter 32 - Call of Distress

Makoto got up from his bed, then walked to Yoshi's room. It felt empty, dark, like there were something missing, or someone. Makoto started crying again.

Hours later, Kishi sneaked into the Art Museum. He walked to the large stone from Chapter 13. He then pressed on it, which opened a door from the other side of the room. Kishi walked through the door. On the other side, were a large group of people, standing, sitting, singing. It was like a Chuck E Cheese Party.

MARIAN: Chief, you're back. Have you found him?

PETER: What happened? Did you cry, did they cry?

KISHI: What I done had to be done.

Kishi had a troubled look on his face.

MARIAN: What's wrong Chief?

KISHI: Makoto asked me a question. And I can't get it off my head.

PETER: Well what's the question?

KISHI: ..... Can't say. How many troops do we have in each divison?

PETER: Bruh.

MARIAN: 533 in the Northwest, 524 in the Northeast, 533 in the Southwest, 525 in the Southeast. Making a total of 2,116 and an average of 529.

KISHI: Peter, you'll command the Northern Divisions. Marian, you'll command the Southern.

PETER: Gotcha.

MARIAN: Of course.

KISHI: It's tomorrow. Whether Sundeen's prepared for it or not.

MARIAN: A war to end all wars.

PETER: Welp, it's time to start heading out.

MARIAN: Yeah.

KISHI: ....

Peter and Marian left the room, to head to the other hideouts.

Back to Makoto, he laid in his room and napped for hours. Until it was 5:06pm. The sun was setting which made the sky pink with clouds here and there. Makoto woke up immediately, checked on his phone, and saw 2 missed calls from Joey, and 3 missed calls from Holly.

Makoto called Joey. He responded.

MAKOTO: Hey Joey.

JOEY: Sup Makoto. Just... checking in on you, everything okay bro..

MAKOTO: Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.

They talked for a minute. Then the call ended. Makoto called Holly, she answered. There was an awkward silence.

HOLLY: Makoto...

MAKOTO: Hey Holly, can we meet up somewhere?

HOLLY: Of course, should I come to your house this time?

Suddenly, Makoto heard a noise from Yoshi's room. He went to check it out. It was coming from his computer. Specifically from his email. It was a voice message from Ms. Duncan. Makoto played it and Holly heard it.

MS. DUNCAN: Hey Yoshi.... I know that you're the Captain of the Police of Sundeen, and—- there's a killer on the loose, and—- Ive been noticing some strange activity around the area. Please, I think he's onto me. Pl- please, help me.

The call ended. Makoto and Holly both gasped.

MAKOTO: She must not watch the news!

HOLLY: I know where Ms. Duncan lives! She lives in the Southwestern part of the neighborhood!

MAKOTO: Let's go. I'll meet at your house.

HOLLY: Makoto, I want to see your house..

MAKOTO: Then you can come over. But we have to save Ms. Duncan, and stop the killer.
