A Mobster's Fairytale

My Savior

I continue to sit on the bed in the room and just stare up at the ceiling. "I remember how mad I used to be at Soryu. I even used to like Eisuke, heh. The way some things change... I want food." I jump out of bed and begin looking around the room. I walk up to the window, and turn to the nearby desk. I open the top drawer and shuffle through the miscellaneous objects. Within the objects are two keys, I take them out of the drawer and stuff them in my pocket. I run my hands along the sides and back of the drawer and feel a small ring connected to the back. I pull on the ring, and the thin wall comes off. I pull the fake wall out of the drawer and feel something hidden in the back. I pull it out of the drawer, and tuck it into my boot. 

I walk back over to the bed, and pick up my phone. (Yes, she's had it the whole time, her hands were tied together previously, so she couldn't use it. Then she found out it was Mei Ling's father, and she wasn't in a hurry to get out.) I dial Mei Ling's phone number and hold the phone to my ear. 

"Hi Yami," I hear Mei Ling answer.

"Hey, fun fact about your father. He-"

"Has Soryu locked up in the cellars, and accidentally kidnapped you too, and decided to lock you up in a nice bedroom?" Mei Ling cuts me off.

"That was oddly specific, but yes actually. How'd you know?" I ask.

"I'm standing outside your bedroom. Do you have the key to your room?" 

"Yup," I take out one of the keys, and slide it under the door. I then hear someone unlock the door. I open the bedroom door, to have Mei Ling hug me tightly. 

"I'm sorry my father did this to you, Yami." Mei Ling apologizes.

"It's alright, Mei Ling. But we should go find Soryu now." I pull away from the hug, and begin running down the hallway, and down the stairs. "How did you know where to find me, anyways?" I ask. 

"Mr. Baba told me what room you would be in. He also said he left you two keys, and a gun."

"Yup, gotta hand it to Baba and Ota. Ota is a master disguise creator, and Baba is the master disguise wearer."

"Haha, that couldn't be more true. But how did you know Baba was the masked man"?" Mei Ling asks.

"Well, other than the fact he already seemed fairly familiar; no one else, other than Ota, calls Soryu by Sor." 

"Yeah, because Soryu threatens everyone else." 

"Hehehe, that couldn't be more true." We arrive in front of the basement door, and I slowly open it. The basement is pitch dark, and I walk in slowly, with Mei Ling following close behind me. After walking down the stairs, we slowly turn a sharp corner, to a tall figure standing right before us. The tall figure smiles, reaches out to touch my shoulder, and wipes blood on my shirt. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! BABA!!!!!! WHY'D YOU DO THAT!?!?!?!?! WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING!???!?!?!!!!"

"SHHHH!!!! A: I forgot there was blood all over my hands. B: I didn't mean to touch your shoulder-"

"PERV!"

"Exactly, C: The blood isn't mine, it's Soryu's. I just finished patching up the wound on his back. I just need the key to his cell to let him out."

"Okay, I got it." I pull the key out from my pocket and hand it to Baba. Mei Ling and I then follow Baba to Soryu's cell and Baba quickly unlocks the door. I quickly run up to Soryu and help him stand up. Baba wraps Soryu's arm around his shoulder, and I pull out the gun from my boot. 

We are all almost to the top of the stairs, leading to the basement, when the man in the fedora appears before us with a gun. "Going so soon, princess?"
