[ The next day, evening ]
Ichiyo and Izumi came back from the grocery shop. The two of them chatted about various things, begining from school exams to some talk about boys.
Suddenly,
a unknown man began to approach them, gradually getting closer and closer...
The teenagers noticed him, but decided to not draw any attention and move away. They had a feeling they might get into trouble if they'd had an interaction with such mysterious stranger...
Suddenly, a figure moved impossibly closer to them, so that Ichiyo and Izumi could accurately describe him.
He was a tall, young adult man, dressed sloppily in a blue jeans and dirty-yellow hoodie. His black eyes looked at the two teenagers with great enthusiasm... He licked his lips... "Hello... Girls..."
Ichiyo and Izumi felt creeped out from the man. "Good e-evening S-sir... we're in a big hurry. Please leave us." Ichiyo said.
"Oh? Young and well-behaved... Great, great..." The man said
Both of girls started to speed up their steps in order to get away from a stranger as fast as possible, but the man seemed to kept up with them.
"We-we're in such a hurry today... Heheh... Mom is waiting for us with dinner... And um... she told us to be home quickly..." Izumi added.
"Well.... You can tell her you'll be a little late. . . " Saying that the man started to grabbing a weapon from his pants pocket - a butterfly knife
The teenagers didn't notice how the man got for his knife, however they felt very threatened from just him standing so close to them.
Ichiyo quickly scanned the area, looking for an escape route if things took a turn for the worse. Suddenly, a realization struck her - 3 streets away and they would be safely in her house.
She pulled out her phone from her purse. However, the creepy man swiftly closed the distance as soon as he noticed her move. Right now his face was uncomfortably close to hers.
"What do you have there, little one?" he grinned menacingly, hinting at potential harm just for revealing her mobile phone. His breath was stinky as he haven't wash his teeth for about a month.
Ichiyo thought she was going to vomit "N-nothing, sir..."
"Oh, but I see something different... A fancy mobile phone, huh?"
"N-no.."
"Oh yes, yes... Who are you trying to call? To your lovely mommy? If so, then tell her that in a moment her daughter will be penetrated by a knife blade of such a gallant man like me!"
"Y-yes.... I wanted to tell her how much I... *gulp* ...will be d-delighted when you will... rip my guts out... " she hardly managed to say last phrase without a disgust evident in her voice.
The criminal grinned broadly. Feeling so unnerved by Ichiyo's words, he unquestioningly believed her... "Someone who will enjoy my torture on them? That's pretty rare... hehehe... Okay beautiful... I'll let you call mommy... Heheh... She'll have a fantastic facial expression when she'll hear that her daughter preferred to be slaughter in the middle of the street, wandering carelessly with her friend rather than obey her and come back home by the end of the day... Heheh..."
Ichiyo quickly dialed her dad's number. She couldn't bear it all any longer and as fast as the phone connected a call to him, in fear and panic, she quickly began to explain the situation they were in: "DAD! SAVE US! WE ARE 3 STREETS FROM OUR HOUSE TO THE TOKYO CENTER IN A DARK ALLEY! SOME BAD MAN ATTACKED US! P-PLEASE! HELP US! EEEEEEK!!!-NO! NOO!!!-" later only the screams of the terrified girl could be heard.
The signal, once perfectly hearable, now was intermittent and completely disconnected.
