He was scared.
Not only because of the fact that he was caught, but also because Sayuri was holding his phone with Hina's number on the screen and was now threatening to press the call button.
"Please!" Takemichi pleaded, desperation now obvious in his voice. "Please, don't tell Hina! I'm begging you!"
It was already been about thirty minutes since we dragged him in the alley. We had taken the handkerchief off his mouth so he could talk, but we kept his hands and legs tied so he wouldn't be able to escape. He was slumped on the ground and was looking up at us, sweat and dusts mixing on his pale, desperate face.
"Oh, look who's scared of losing his girlfriend," Sayuri said in a mocking tone. "How about you finally stop being a lying dick and start to fucking tell us everything?"
"W-What? But I already told you, I wasn't stalking Nika, we just happened to take the same street, it's just a coincidence!" He forced a laugh. "Why would I stalk her? T-That's crazy!"
"Yeah, why would you stalk me?"
He paused for a moment and looked at me. "I wasn't stalking you, I swear--"
"I'm not a fool, Takemichi. I saw you yesterday too, you were following me."
"W-What are you talking about?" He gulped, avoiding my eyes. "That wasn't me!"
"Sayuri, call Hina."
Sayuri playfully put the phone on her ear. "Hellooo~ Hina?"
"DON'T! PLEASE!"
"Then tell me the truth!"
"Okay, okay!" He shouted. "Alright, I'll you the truth! It was.. Mikey. Yeah, Mikey--I mean, I was just guarding you because Mikey told me to. He wants you to be safe. That's it. I mean no harm, I promise!"
My brows pulled together. Mikey told him?
"Really?"
"Y-Yeah!"
With a raised brow, I looked at him. I was measuring his gaze without blinking, somehow trying to see if he was telling the truth. It didn't take a minute before he gave up. He sighed and closed his eyes in a frustrated manner, mouthing 'fuck.'
"Please don't tell Mikey."
I knew it.
"Please! I'm sorry--"
"Oh, come on!" Sayuri groaned. "Really, just what is the truth?!"
"I can't tell you. I just can't--just let me go and I swear I wont do it again!" His eyes seemed to be glistening, as if he was about to cry. "Please, just trust me! I mean no harm, I'm doing this for everyone!"
I took a deep breath. I crouched down to face him and a with a stern voice, I said, "You will tell us everything. Right now." I didn't plan on letting him get away without knowing his real intention. "Everything. Or else, I will tell Hina and Mikey. I am not kidding, Takemichi."
He seemed to have realized that there's no way he could get away with this and so he sighed, once again closing his eyes in defeat. Sayuri and I watched him thought about it. He looked exhausted, sweating all over, and there was a worried expression on his face. His lips seemed to be trembling, too.
"Alright," he finally said, almost forcing the word out of his mouth. "Alright, I'll tell you everything."
"Wow, thank the Lord!" Sayuri dramatically looked at the sky, raising her hands in the air. "Motherfucker finally gave in, thank God! Hallelujah!"
