Chapter 07: The Dead Man

"DRIVE!!! DRIVE FASTER YOU FOOL!!!” Mitsu yelled at his driver as the riots continued through the streets. Opposing people were throwing Molotovs and shooting guns at the car as they tried to escape.

The driver was doing his best not to run anyone over, while avoiding attacks as well but he was under pressure because of the Prime minister yelling behind him.

“You’re doing great.” Eiji tapped him on the shoulder and comforted him. Just then, a bullet pierced through a back tire of the car to which he lost control of it and ended up running a passerby over. The car while out of control, rammed itself on the man and dropped him right below the wheels it then stepped on the man and ended up rolling over a few times before stopping, by crashing onto a wall.

The car was rolled over upside down and the driver had hit his head and had already died. He had bled out.

“Sir! Kyoko! Are you alright?” Eiji groaned, unbuckling his seatbelt.

He dropped down onto the flipped roof of the car as soon as he unbuckled himself. He brought down Kyoko gently, then after that he unbuckled Mitsu as well but let him fall onto the roof.

Eiji, trying to get out of the car, saw that it was surrounded by the rioting people and the only way out was through a hole on the wall on which the car had crashed. The hole was small and it was right outside the side window. The only way to get out was by removing the window.

He pulled Kyoko away from the window and squeezed himself next to it and then using his elbow he started to thrust blows to the glass. He couldn’t hit too hard due the lack space but slowly the window was starting to break.

“Ugh!” Mitsu grunted. “Hmm? What’re you doing?” he asked.
“Trying to break us out.” Eiji said while he kept elbowing the window. “The only way to do that is by smashing the window and the only way we’ll be safe from your damn haters is through that hole.”

“Hole?! I am not going through that tiny hole. No chance!” Mitsu yelled.

“Then you stay here. We’ll escape!” said Kyoko moving toward the almost broken window.

One more hit with Eiji’s elbow, and the glass just shattered in and out of the flipped car. After cleaning up the remaining glass, he pulled Kyoko towards the window. “Go on!” he said.

“What?! Why is she going in first??” Mitsu whined.

“Aren’t you the one who said you weren’t going through here?” asked Eiji, cleanly.

Just then the haters who were surrounding the car started ramming it heavily while shouting. They had heard the glass shatter.

“We got to make it quick.” Eiji said, pulling Mitsu as soon as Kyoko went through. Kyoko pulled Mitsu fro inside while Eiji pushed him from the car, and while they were busy with that, the haters shattered the window behind them and started splashing petrol all over the car. “This is bad.”

As soon as Mitsu also went through, Eiji quickly slid through the hole and it was just in the nick of time as well because just as he had gotten through, a tiny match stick was thrown into the car, igniting it up in flames.

“Okay! That was close!!” said Mitsu panting his lungs out.
Kyoko looked around to see that it was a normal house that they had broken into. The lights were on with one of the lights flickering inside the next room. It was small and they were in the living room. A normal fan was spinning slowly on the ceiling and the TV was on. Breaking news was playing on the channel. It was talking about the situation in Tokyo. “Hello?” she called out but no one answered.

“Come on!” grunted Eiji pulling Mitsu by his arm.

“Hey!! I will not tolerate this kind of behavior!! You dare grab me and pull me like this? I am your boss! I am the prime minister of Japan you hear me?” Mitsu started yelling.
