Kataoka was stood in the middle of the town centre at about noon. About an hour earlier, she has posted on all her social media sites that she would be here. Takaoka and his minions would probably be following them, or at least checking her profile often to see if she was in a place that would be easy to kidnap her, just as the other E class members had been.

She glanced down at the Fitbit she was currently wearing. They had managed to download Ritsu into it the previous night. The lack of a speaker on it meant Ritsu couldn't talk, but she could still make it vibrate if they did need to communicate. All Kataoka had to do now was wait around until she got kidnapped, and then the next part of the plan could commence.

Meanwhile, at Gokuraka High School, the students were in their lunch break.

"Hey." Harumi began. "Do you guys have any idea where Saiki, Michio Shizuka and Fujikawa are?"

"No clue. Maybe they're just ill?" Hideo replied.

"Hmm. It seems quite a coincidence though." Natsumi said. "Especially with Nagisa Sensei also not being here."

"So you think they may be doing stuff without us?" Kazuhiko asked.

"I mean maybe." Natsumi replied.

"But what stuff do you think?" Aya wondered.

"Secret school trip?" Tatsuo offered as a suggestion.

"No. Sensei left a few days before the other four. It doesn't seem likely." Kazuhiko said.

"Whatever it is, we should pay him a visit, see if our teacher is alright." Harumi suggested.

"And you know where he lives?" Hideo asked.

"Yeah." Harumi replied as she moved a tray strand of black hair out of her face. "I saw him leave his house once with Karma a few weeks ago. It's a three story house which is strange since I didn't think teachers earned that much"

"Maybe Karma has a good job." Kazuhiko suggested, only just realising that they had no idea what Karma did for a living.

"Ok, it's settled then. We meet at the part at six and go see how he is doing." Harumi said, wrapping up their little meeting.

At the same time as this all happening, Chiba and Hayami had returned to their apartment to retrieve their guns. They decided that their long rifles would be a bit overkill for this, and they would mostly be fighting in close quarters if it came to it so decided on a small pistol each. They had a selection of firearms from their time we working for the military of defence. They acted like assassins. Headhunters that were sent out to kill targets or find important information. They were sort of doing work experience as secret agents.

Once they had retrieved their weapons, Hayami sat down on the couch and sighed.

"Ryu," she began, "can we just stay here for a bit. After all the chaos of the past few days, I need to catch my breath."

"Sure." He said as he sat down beside her. Hayami rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her back. "Take as long as you need."

She smiled at his comment. She remembered seven years ago in junior high. She had no idea this day would come. That she and Chiba would be engaged to be married. Sure she had the beginnings of a crush, but she never thought she would have the courage to act upon it. Never in a million years.

Michio and Fujikawa had spent the morning scouting out the place where Takaoka had told them to meet next. They had found that it was a appartement in a tall appartement building not too far away from Nagisa's old school.

They had taken the elevator up to the floor and found the exact room which he had holes up in. They also nicked on the doors of they two rooms either side to see if anyone was there. Nope. Ritsu had also hacked into the buildings system to see if they could see who was staying in each room. They once again saw that each either side was empty. That could be useful.

They were in the elevator heading back down when Fujikawa began to talk.

"By any chance, do you have feelings for Shizuka." She asked.

"Feelings?" He replied. "I mean I like her as a friend, but nothing more. Why?"

"I think she likes you."

"Well that's going to be awkward. Anyway, you're not normally one to get in on relationship issues Fujikawa. Are you ill?"

"Ha ha. No. I'm just wondering."

A few minutes of awkward silence followed.

"I respect you Michio." She said out of the blue.

"If I'm going to be honest, if you had told me a year ago that I would be respected by you, I wouldn't have believed it. You know, back when I had no friends and was an oddball."

"Hm. Well yeah. I do. It's not anything more, so don't get any ideas."

"Oh, I know." Michio replied.

It was about five o'clock when Kataoka was finally found. Three men pulled up in a van, pulled her in and drove off. They had waited until there were no bystanders around, meaning they knew what they were doing. Half an hour later, a bag was placed over her head she was lead out of the car. Her phone was removed before she was pushed into a kind of prison cell.

"Enjoy your stay." She heard one of the kidnappers say.

She pulled off her bag and sat up, glancing around the cell to get her bearings. The rest of the E class members were sat there staring at her.

"Hi." She said and waved. Everyone frowned.

"What are you doing here. I thought you would try to save us." Fuwa said, slightly disappointed.

"Relax. Nagisa has a plan and this is the first part. Where's Karma?" Kataoka explained.

"He was taken shortly before you arrived. Do you know what is going to happen to him?" Sugino said.

"If he gets his way, Takaoka will kill him. Just like he tried to do last time."

"What do you mean?" Isogai asked.

"Well, he was going to kill Chiba. Then Hayami tried to attack him, so he dropped her off the roof. She survived. She landed on a balcony a few floors down."

"Well that's a relief." Kayano said.

"Still though. It's good to see you Megu." Isogai said as he walked over and sat beside her, wrapping his arm around her. She placed her head on his shoulder, earning an 'awww' from everyone and a tut from Yada.

"What are you tutting about. You have a girlfriend so you can't still like Kataoka." Nakamura whispered to her.

"Shut up. It doesn't matter." Yada whispered back harshly.

"Anyway." Kataoka said as she stood up. "This watch has Ritsu inside it. I can see a computer. Sugino, can you give me a hand?"

"Yeah, what do you need?" Sugino said as he walked up beside Kataoka.

"Can you throw the watch at it?" Kataoka asked as she removed the watch and handed it to him.

"Sure." Was the reply. He took a minute to gauge the distance before throwing the watch between the bars in the cell. It landed next to the computer. Perfect.

"Guys, were in." Shizuka shouted excitedly. Nagisa and the others rushed back into the room. Everyone had returned from their respective assignments now.

"Ok. Shizuka, I want you and Ritsu to take control of their system. But, don't do anything yet. Wait until we are in positions
We will split into three groups. Group one will be me, Hayami and Michio. We will go to pay Takaoka a visit. Group two is Chiba Saiki and Fujikawa. You will head to Ritsu's location and break everyone out. Group three. Shizuka and Ritsu. You're on support." Nagisa explained the plan, getting rather excited as he continued talking. During his speech, a pink dot pulsed on a map infront of them. Ritsu.

"Ok guys, good luck. Let's go." Chiba said. Everyone else nodded as they left the house, splitting up to take on their respective roles. Tonight would be the night in which they stopped Takaoka.
