In Love With A Beast ✓

Chapter 4: Looks like we're sharing a room

You still were refusing to give up, but with every your next attempt to escape, you were weaker and weaker, so soon you just had no chance but to calm down.

"That's right. Good girl."

Those were the last words you heard before you passed out.

~~~~~~~~

Slowly, your eyes opened. You tried to rub them but you somehow couldn't. And when you started looking around, you realized why. Your wrists were handcuffed to a wall.

Then your eyes started exploring the place you were in. There were no windows, no furniture, just a stairs and big iron door, so you figured out that you're probably locked in an underground.

And then you realized one more thing.  Your body was somehow lighter as usually. So that could mean only one thing - your weapons are all gone.

"Shit."

"I took care of them. I hope you don't mind," a voice echoed and then, you noticed him, leaning against the wall in the darkest spot of this place. Thanks to his black clothes he was almost invisible in there.

"What am I doing here? How did I get in here?! What do you want from me?"

Suddenly, he sent an attack on you and Rashomon wrapped around your neck and waist.

"Too many questions."

For the first time ever, you felt how useless you are without your weapons. If he wanted, he could just kill you easily within few seconds but he didn't do it. So there's probably something more in this.

"What do you want from me, Akutagawa?" you asked one more time hoping, he'll give you an useful answer.

"The boss of the Port Mafia was impressed by your ability. But well now, I see without weapons you are useless. But still in his opinion it would be useful to have someone like you on our side."

Your brows lifted up in disbelief. They just can't force you to work for them or can they?

"What if I don't want to work for Mafia? You really think that I wanna become a criminal?"

"Then if you don't want to...I am afraid this will be necessary," one of Rashomon's belts took it's place right before your neck, "let me remind you that it's sharp as hell. I am sure you don't want to die like this. Remember, it's not my will but my boss's. You have two hours. Make your decision wisely."

He finally left the darkness he was standing in, walked up the stairs and slammed the iron door.

You were staring at the place he was standing, still shocked. Neither you join the Mafia or you die. An impossible choice for you to make started just now.

"If I won't make a choice, I'll die. If I refuse to work for Mafia, I'll die. The case is that I can't die yet. No, I don't wanna, that's it. Maybe I could faking the cooperation with them and this way I could get information for the Agency about Mafia's every step...God, but if I go in there I have to be careful, otherwise I am dead either way. Damn why is it so hard to make a choice?!"

~~~~~~~~

You were talking to yourself for whole two hours, trying to figure out some plan on how to fake the cooperation, but anything came on your mind.

"Damn...I can't just become a criminal...okay... I'll become a member of the Mafia but I'll just fake it. But well then I need to be very careful about my every move. It sure is a big risk but I have to do something because I can't just betray Armed Detective Agency. I would never forgive myself if that happened."
