Hypnosis Microphone: Blue Division~Bayside Story~

VIII/ Flee

It's been over a month since Setsuna become the fugitive in the Yokohama Division. Running away from the organization, from Yakuza, from law enforcement. She unable to across the border of the division to avoid her location detected by the law enforcement.

She always changes places to stay over, a night or two in one place, before moving to other places. She only has two pair of outfit and underwears, changes it daily, and if she unable to dried up her clothes, she ends up wears the same clothes for several days. Somehow, she slowly getting used to living as homeless.

Her money slowly drained up, although, she tried to works a part-time, especially the short period like a day or two days. She uses the money only limited for food and public bath. Since it almost enters the summer, to get a warm place to sleep are not really her priority. She can just sleep almost everywhere, at the bus stop, under the bridge, garden or even at the playground.

Sometimes, she got chased by the patrol police, which becomes her midnight run. It's harsh, but, she needs to get used to this way of living. After all, she has nobody to ask for help from.

Suddenly, Setsuna recalled her conversation with the late police officer, Shiraishi before they apart.

"Homura-kun, I found a hypnosis microphone in your sling bag. Seems like it is a prototype one. Is that yours?"

She shakes her head, "No, it was my parents', but, my brother told me I used it once...but I barely remember it"

Shiraishi nodded his head, "Next time, if you are at the pinch, just use it"

"Huh?"

"You won't know who will help you in the future, but, you have a weapon in your hand, just use it...don't hesitate about it"

"If there is no one will help you, at least, your voices will help you"

Setsuna hugs her blue sling bag tightly in her arms. What Shiraishi-san said is true. But, there is a bit of doubt in her heart to uses the hypnosis microphone to attack people. She just hopes that she does not need to use them until she meets him.

She indeed has nowhere to go, but at least, she has her destination.

Setsuna enters the convenient store to buy a bento for her lunch, she clumsily kept the money balance into her wallet as she zips open her sling bag to keep her wallet inside.

Suddenly, a goosebumped feeling crawled on her skin when she felt she had been stared by someone. She turned her head around, however, there is a lot of people walk around the place. After all, it is a weekend, that bayside shopping area would pack by people, either the single, couples or families.

"D-did someone is following me?" anxious her. But who? "Is that Shimoda's people? Or the organization?" Or perhaps, the police?

Her wild thought starts to mess up her mind. Setsuna's situation currently can be compared to the prey situation but more worst, she does not even know who is her predators? While in another hand, Shimoda and the organization or even policemen might know how she looks like, her clothes and tracks her path, but she totally clueless about her enemies.

Her life is totally in dire straits at this point.

Refuses to be caught for the second time, Setsuna took a detour, enter a various alley, walk-in fast pace and blended into the crowds until she finally out from the shopping area. However, she still looks around to make sure there is no one is following her.

Setsuna too focuses look at her behind, she ends up didn't look where she is going as she bumped into someone. She pushed back a bit by the impact as she immediately apologized to the person that she bumped with. But, when she looked up at the person...she realized that she totally dig her own fucking grave.

The man looks intimidating with a cigarette tuck in between his lips, with a few of piercing, scar on his face...and he is not alone, the man with his gang, around five to seven person with him.

The man glared at her, "It's hurt yer know?!" Setsuna jolted, as she apologized even more.

"Yer thinks, an apology is enough?! Huh?! Yer think by apology can heal my shoulder????" barks the man.

"Yeah, he broke his shoulder!" one of his gang support the man. Setsuna frowns her eyebrows, she thinks the bump just now not that hard, even she didn't fell to the ground just now.

"Yeah!! Pay for the casualties!!" another man shouts from the back. Setsuna apologized once more, "I'm sorry! I have no money!"

Suddenly, her hoodie's green jacket yank by the man as she dragged closer to the man's face. "Then, why you didn't pay it with your body?" he whispered to her face.

Her facial colour immediately drained into white. In the whole of her life, to imagine she will end up on this edge of the situation?!

Setsuna did not properly zip her bag during she keeps her wallet due to the paranoid feeling she had just now. It only takes a single jerk, the bag zip open a bit causes a stuff from her sling bag to drop on the ground. It's a bad news for her, the thing that dropped is the hypnosis microphone. One of the gang members saw the hypnosis microphone and screams,

"She got a hypmic?!!"
"What??!"
"Is she is the user?!"

The situation becomes a commotion when they saw the hypnosis microphone. The man that she bumped, pick the microphone and waves in front of her face.

"Well, if you don't want to pay with your body, you can just pay the casualties with this thing" chuckles the man.

Instead of feeling relief that man will let her go, she felt burning in rage instead. She slapped the man's hand from continuing to grip her and swing her sling bag as hard as she could to the man's head. Knocking him out in one strike. Her bento flew along by the impact.

She snatched away the microphone from the unconscious man and fled to the opposite direction from the gang. The other members of the gang shocked by her action for a moment before they chased after her.

She runs as fast as she can, going wherever her legs able to reaches and her sight able to captures. Without she realized, she had entered the labyrinth maze near to the harbour. The maze that surrounded by a tall wall, around 2 meters. She didn't care about her surrounding and continue running as the gang still after her.

She only stops when she reached at the dead end, she tries to go back, but the only way is obstructed by the men from the gang and their numbers are double than before.

"Hahaha, it's the dead end for you!" scorn one of them. Setsuna retreated backward until her back touch the wall. She looks around the alley, in the hope she able to escape through anything...the wall is tall and full of moss. She can't climb it. She needs to find anything, a crack on the wall that she can use to stepping stone or ropes...anything! Until her gazed fell at the hypnosis microphone in her hand.

"If no one will help you...
...your voices will"

She bit her lips, as she holds up her hypnosis microphone with both of her hand. She looks up at the bandits in front of her with determined eyes.

"This is!"
