Lewis POV

Hiroki, my friends and I sat a short distance away from the trucks, snacking, eating lunch, and talking. We look over to Koji and Mori discussing something over by the trucks with a computer. I point at them.

Lewis: "What do you think they're discussing?"

Hiroki: "Progress reports probably, how well we're all doing."

Christian: "Maybe they're trying to find out how Kanako found this place."

Connie:" It's probably nothing important." We all shrug and continue eating. After an hour, we pack up and continue. We're still got a distance to go before we reach our backup facility.

Four hours later...

We've finally arrived at the facility and unpacked almost everything. There's just a few pieces of equipment and a few beds left to set up, but aside from that, we've got everything done. Hiroki and I are just relaxing on our beds when Koji enters.

Koji: "Lewis, Hiroki, come with me please." We follow Koji into a small, dark, side room, with a large table in the centre. The door closes behind us, and a model of a house is projected from the table. "Tori and I have been looking at your progress reports, boys... and we think you're ready."

Lewis: "Really?"

Koji: "Yes. You're both ready. You'll need a small team of up to five people, and you'll need to make your own plan. Once you've done that, we'll discretely send you to Kokujin's house, and you can free your targets. If you can find anything else there, report it back to us. That is all." Koji leaves the room, leaving Hiroki and I standing there.

Hiroki: "We need three more members, maximum. I think I know who I want on our team."

Lewis: "Who?"

Hiroki: "Connie and Christian. But that leaves us one short."

Lewis: "I was just thinking of those two. He did say that the team had to be UP TO five members, not exactly five though. You think we can handle this with just four?"

Hiroki: "They seem capable, I say we've got this in the bag. I'll go grab them." Minutes, later, they return and we gather around the table, analysing the map of Kokujin's house.

Christian: "I know you said his house was big, but this thing is like a fucking mansion! How are we ever going to find anyone in here?!"

Hiroki: "I have a feeling he'll want to keep my friends and family close, so my guess is they'll be in his bedroom or the rooms around it. Where do you think your targets are, Lewis?"

Lewis: "Hmm... my sister was always rebellious, so she'll be confined to her bedroom. My mother will probably be in her room too."

Hiroki: "Alright, we have an idea where our targets are. But how are we going to get them? That is the question." We stare at the map in silence, thinking deeply.

Lewis: "I think I have an idea."

Connie: "Do tell."

Lewis: "So, chances are Kokujin and his Father will still be awake, fucking someone, meaning breaking in isn't an option. But... I know my sister. She always leaves the window open just enough to let air flow through, even though there is a child lock on so she can't escape. But she wants to escape just as much as I want to free her. We can enter and exit through there if we can get the lock undone. Anyone know how to lockpick?"

Christian: "I do."

Lewis: "Great. That gives us access in and out of the house from the second floor. My Mother's room is on the third floor, and Kokujin's is the first, so it's a bit tight, but we can make it work. We'll split off into two groups. Hiroki and Christian, Connie and me. It should be an easy enter, easy exit mission. Just stay quiet, and don't let anyone see you. They might not have guards, but they do have women they've... 'seduced'... and chances are they'll grab Kokujin the moment they see us. It's weird, I know. While we grab our targets, my sister will sneak into my Father's study to try and find anything. Potential evidence, video feed, anything we can take with us and hand over to the police. If we get seen, we know how to fight. Sure, it seem like a bad plan, but I think we can make this work. Everyone know what they're doing?" Everyone nods. "Alright, we leave midnight tomorrow."

Meanwhile...

Ayumu POV

Ayumu: "LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!!" I bang on the basement door again, to no avail. "LET ME OUT KOKUJIN, PLEASE!!!"

Woman 1: "It's no use, dear."

Woman 2: "Let her try, she might have a little luck." After attempting to break down the door for a few minutes, slump to the ground.

Ayumu: "God, I fucking hate Kokujin."

Woman 1: "You and everyone else here, sister."

Ayumu: "What is this place anyway?"

Woman 2: "It's basically just a storage cupboard for women Kokujin and his Father have deemed 'useless'. We wait down here until the end of the month, and then they ship us off to some slave camp where they will supposedly train us into 'good little sex slaves like we were born to be'."

Ayumu: "And how long has this been going on for?"

Woman 1: "Almost 12 years now..."

Ayumu: "We've got to get out of here."

Woman 1: "No use dear. We're trapped here until they tie us up and haul us off."

Woman 2: "Kokujin used to be bad, but never this bad!"

Ayumu: "What do you mean, 'used to'?"

Woman 1: That man he calls his Father killed his biological Father, and then forced his Mother to marry him. Kokujin was already a bad kid, stealing other boy's girlfriends, but when that man came along, he went from bad to worse. He became a devious, cruel, heartless boy. Always though he was above everyone else, that he was the 'Alpha'. If anyone tried to oppose him, he'd beat them to a crisp. I heard the last kid he beat went to kill himself. Hikori or something was his name."

Ayumu: "Hiroki. His name is Hiroki." I sigh. "He was my best friend before we could even talk. We did everything together. I loved him like a brother, but now I want to be his lover. But now that's never going to happen. Because I wasn't strong enough." My eyes fill with tears and I begin to sob. "Because I couldn't stop him from... beating Hiroki... because I let him stuff Hiroki into a locker... because I wasn't strong enough to stop him from... raping me... because I let him force me to say so many horrible things... because I was a horrible friend... and I let Kokujin use me for pleasure to badmouth Hiroki..." I break down into heavy sobs.

Woman 1: "There there deary... you did your best..."

Ayumu: "I know... I just feel... I could have done more..."

Woman 2: "I'm sure that if Hiroki feels the same way about you as you do him, he'll come and save you. And he better do it quickly, because there's not long left till the end of the month... they come to pick us up at 00:30 the day after tomorrow... so we haven't got long."

Ayumu: "Oh god... Hiroki... please hurry..."

Meanwhile...

Lewis' parents and brother had finally landed, and rushed out of the airport.

Mark: "Well, we're here... now what? Lewis could be anywhere!"

Marley: "We'll find Lewis... don't worry... I'm sure of it." Suddenly a hooded figure walked up to them.

???: "Sorry... did I overhear the name 'Lewis'?"

Sam: "Yes. Who are you?"

???: "Who I am doesn't matter. Who are you in relation to him?"

Sam: "I'm his mother, this is his brother and step-father. Now who are you?" The man sighs.

Tori: "My name is Tori Mori, father of Hiroki Mori. I met your son about a week ago, when he was considering taking his life. Follow me, I will lead you to your son." So with no other choice, they followed the strange man into his car, and they drove away in silence.
