You walked back to the reception, sending a quick glance to the spot where you had seen the three men earlier. You noticed that only the pink haired one was left. Mentally cursing once again, you made your way to the receptionist. She gave you a small smile, looking through a file you could only assume was your mom's.

"How was she feeling?" She asked to strike up a conversation. "She seemed tired but was happy to see me." You felt safer talking now that Rindou wasn't nearby. "She talks about you all the time." The receptionist pulled out a piece of paper, sliding it towards you. "We sent out a medical bill to your address a while ago, but never received a payment. Now we know that you are struggling with all this so we decided to lay it off until you came to visit again." The nurse explained in a quiet voice.

You took a quick glance at the paper. "Oh, I actually moved recently, that's why I didn't receive it." The bill had been sent to an old address of yours that you did still officially live in, but just never went to. "Oh, you've moved? How weird that the information wasn't updated in our system..." The nurse took a quick glance at the papers again. "Could you write your current address on this form, please?" You took the paper she was holding out and nodded.

Now, it's not like you knew what you would put on it. And it didn't help that you now felt a gaze on you. The man sitting in the lobby had clearly been listening to your conversation. "Um, I'm actually going on a vacation for a while. Is it okay for me to email that address to you? I won't be home in a while." You explained, mentally face palming at how unconvincing you sound. "Oh, you can just write the address and how long you are staying there for on the form as well, in case we have to send any bills while you are there."

'fuuuuckkkk....'

"I don't remember the address at the top of my head..." You let out an awkward chuckle, and the receptionist raised an eyebrow. She was clearly getting suspicious of you, but decided to let it go. "That's fine then. Are you...okay, Ms. (L/n?)" She put the form away, eyeing you curiously. "Yeah, yeah I am! I've just been sick recently so I'm feeling under the weather. That's also why I wore the mask today, just so I wouldn't accidentally make mom even sicker..."

'Smooth, (Y/n). Real smooth.'

After a moment she gave you a nod, which made you relax a little. You could still feel the man's gaze on you as you turned to leave. "I'll be taking my leave now. Thank you for taking care of my mom." You told her before hurriedly walking towards the door. You walked past the pink haired man, his eyes fixated on the reception. As you got to the door, you glanced back and saw him standing up. He then turned around to walk towards the door.

"Fuck." You let out, letting the door close behind you. You quickly grabbed the duffel back you had hidden near the entrance, before making a run for it. You knew it wasn't a coincidence that he had gotten up to leave at the same time. The other two were probably nearby as well.

You were aiming to get into a more crowded area. It would be risky since you couldn't see who your enemy could be in a crowd, but you knew it would be easier to lose the people following you. You had noticed that the man following you hadn't started running when you did, but you knew he was still after you.

'Is he trying to look cool despite attempting to kidnap me?'

As you reached a busy shopping area, you slowed you pace back to walking. Making irregular turns and staying on the move, you knew you were relatively safe for now. However, the more you scanned the area, more you could see men in suits. Now, the clock was 7pm at this point and there were a lot of regular businessmen leaving work. You couldn't simply assume that everyone was after you. You weighed your options, looking behind you occasionally. You took down your ponytail and discarded the glasses, watching them get destroyed by the crowd. You also removed your mask, it was too obvious at this point. Maybe you could still get out of this.
