The New Ajin

Part 2- Chapter 2

"What we need are adults who can provide powerful support," Nagai said.

"Ha!" Kou slammed on the brakes and made a uturn.

A small squeal left my lips as I gripped on the "oh shit" handle for dear life.

"What are you doing now?" Nagai screamed.

"You want allies. I have an idea!" Kou had a wicked grin on his face.

"You need to explain the plan before you make actions," I said.

"What she said!" Nagai said from the back seat.

"Just leave it to me!" Kou said.

After some more driving, Kou pulls into the deserted parking lot of where we first went to the meeting with Sato, the old abandoned warehouse.

"What are we doing here, babe?" I sighed and turned to look at him.

"The people that we left behind, they should be there," Kou said.

"You idiot," Nagai said.

"Sato is not going to leave them in the same place," I tapped his hand, "but good try."

"In addition to traveling long distance, you took us to where Sato used to be," Nagai said in a harsh tone, "We're in danger!"

Nagai and Kou glared at eachother until we heard a beep come from Nagai's smart phone.

"Thank God. Finally," Nagai raised his phone.

"What's that email?" Kou outstretched his neck to try to see the screen.

"Before they found me, I ordered a background check on the Ajin Control Commission. This is it," he replied, "and one of them is a pretty interesting guy."

Nagai turned the phone so we could see.

It was the man with silver hair and glasses.

The one that wanted to run Kou and me over with his car.

Kou put the car in drive and started driving away from the warehouse. He did not know where he was going, but anywhere had to be better than there.

"Check this out, his name is Yuu Tosaki. This is good stuff, very interesting," Nagai read off his phone, "it says that his fiancee is in a coma and he's paying the medical bills himself. And it's not an amount he can easily pay off, either. So he's got a reason to stop Sato and protect his own position. Most importantly, his lover is his weakness."

There it was, the emotional difference between us.

Nagai smirked, "we can use that."

I looked down at my hands. It did not feel right to use a woman in a coma like that.

But then again, he did try to run me over.

"How is this fun for you?"Kou asked.

Nagai's eyes slightly widened before he looked away at us and out the window, "It's not fun for me but this necessary."

"Eri?" Kou took a sideways glance at me.

"Necessary," I nodded my head, "call him."

"Go fast, Nakano," Nagai instructed.

"But wouldn't that attract attention?" Kou asked.

"That's the point," I said.

Kou shrugged his sholuders and stepped on the gas.

In no time we heard the wailing of police sirens.

"I always wanted to do this," Kou laughed.

Nagai rolled his eyes as he dialed his number and put the phone on speaker.

"Turn on the t.v," Nagai said when the person picked up.

"Who is this? How did you get this number?" a male voice said on the other side.

"Just turn on the t.v. Now."

In the distance we heard "Nagai Kei".

"That's right. And you should be able to guess where we're going," Nagai said with a smug look on his face. There was a moment of static before silence.

"Damn it! The battery died!" Nagai screamed at the phone.

"What are we going to do once we are in the hospital?" Kou asked.

"Alright, here is the plan. Eri, I know I do not have to worry about you. Nakano, don't mess this up," Nagai said.

"Why do you call Eri by her first name?" Kou asked.

"Because I like her, now pay attention," Nagai said.

"Well that doesn't make sense," Kou said.

"Just listen to him," I said.

"Don't gang up on me," Kou pouted.
