LAWLESS

CHAPTER TWENTY

Y/N

"The police are now investigating the explosion that happened a week ago. Bonten members and an Italian Mafia family died in the said incident." The reporter in the tv said.

I woke up after a long sleep, fatigue spreads all over my body going here and there to get bombs.

"Still, the police are finding the suspects in this crime. They believe that it is Bonten's Boss, Sano Manjirou or also known as Mikey. Some tips from a anonymous site said that there's a woman who also worked for Mikey." The reporter added.

I sat up, wiping my eyes and stare blankly at the television. "So I am now a suspect too."

"No clues where they are hiding, the police are now dispatched around Japan to find Sano Manjiro and the unknown woman who works for him-"

I turned off the TV and stood up. Kicking all the can beers and snacks on the floor. After killing them all, I spend my days in an underground apartment that there's no window or anything.

I wore my hoodie and walked outside to eat a cup noodles in a convenience store. I can't have a proper meal since I am broke after buying bombs. I need to leave the country too before the police named me in the wanted list.

After eating, I began walking back to my apartment when I saw a missing poster of me. I guess my mom came to her senses and now started finding me too.

Maybe it's Mikey's trap...

I dialed the phone number on the flyer and someone answered it.

"Hello?" A woman answered.

It's my mom. "Mom."

"Oh my goodness, Y/N?"
She starts crying. "Where are you?
I've been looking for you for
five months where did you go?"

"Why did you use an ugly

picture of me? It's embarrassing."I told her and about to end the call.

"W-Wait... please meet me in your
favorite restaurant, where we always
have family dinner... mom will wait
for you there, okay? Make sure to
come, hm? Mom is sorry-"

I ended the call, I went back home and wash myself. Getting ready to meet my mom, I should at least meet her before I leave the country. A thorn was removed from my chest thinking that my mom finally look for me, even if it takes almost two years and everything is more fucked up.

•••

Entering the restaurant, I roam my eyes. There I found my mom where we always sit. It's lunch time and there's a lot of workers who are here to have their lunch.

"Mom." I called her and sit in front of her.

She cried holding my cheeks. "My princess, how have you been? Did you eat well? Your health? Is it okay? Where do you live? Do you sleep well?"

I tried holding back my tears but I can't. "Mom, just asked one question at a time." I told her sobbing.

"Oh... I am sorry. Mom is really sorry forgetting about you." She wiped my tears as her eyes are tearing more. "I was so shocked with what happened to your dad... it must be hard for you to be alone at a young age." She hugged me sobbing.

I sniffed and hugged her back. "It's okay mom, you know how strong I am, right?"

She nods. "Don't worry, I will do everything to clear your dad's name." Mom told me. "We'll be back on how we used to."
