Broken

Chapter 46: Welcome Back (Shizuka)

" What are you talking about?"

" I wasn't ever worried that any of them left. I just had you hunt down the others to make it look like I was worried. It was just a cover."

" A cover? For what?"

" For my real plans."

" Which are?"

I stood up from my desk and slowly traced Jin's jawline with my finger. As my finger reached his neck, I used a great force combined with a surge of power to press down on his jugular vein, causing him to pass out.

Quickly opening a drawer on my desk and shuffling a few things, I pulled out a syringe. The red serum inside of it had a bright glow. Smiling through my reflection in the syringe, a rush of adrenaline worked through my body. Flipping his arm over, I inserted the syringe right into the crease of his arm, putting the substance straight through his vein. I had put a dose of rubise in him before, but never had I put two doses in one person. Hopefully all of the side effects were to my advantage.

Rushing over to my room to get a pillow, I ran back to my office and put it underneath his head. This would make it look like I somewhat cared that he passed out. Obviously if he was this out, he wouldn't remember that I was the one who knocked him out in the first place.

I then scooted my chair to face towards him to make it look as though I had been watching over him. Opening a little drawer in my desk, my hand moved around until I felt a little edge to a secret compartment I had hidden in the back of the drawer. As my hand slid over the compartment, it took out an old, folded note. I slid the miniature door back into place and placed the note on the top of my desk.

Moving to another drawer, I shuffled over papers to find a short lever. This lever was connected to the lab. Pulling it towards myself, I knew that it had opened the secret room that was hidden within the walls of the lab. Pushing that drawer back in, I then slipped a cell phone out of the drawer that was beneath the last one, picked up the piece of paper and walked out of the room.

My white-heeled boots clicked down the hallway as I made my way to the lab. After I had entered the lab, I made sure to shut and lock the door behind me. Passing by Nicco that was unconscious on a lab table, I propped myself up on the table beside him. Unfolding the tattered piece of paper, my eyes scanned over the note that was in my hand.

If you ever need a hand, you know where to come.

-Mr. K

I took the cell phone and pressed the pound sign and dialed a few numbers that changed the line to a private one. Then, looking at the paper I actually dialed the number. The phone rang twice and then was answered by a light, feminine voice.

" Hello?"

" Hello deary. Is Mister K there?"

" Who is this?"

" What does it matter?"

" I need an iden-"

" Tell him it's Tomonori."

She put her hand over the phone. " Someone named Tomonori would like to speak with you."

I heard his soothing voice, " Give the phone to me and please exit the room love."

In the background, I heard the door close followed by his voice saying, " Hello?"

" It's been a little while."
