In the afternoon, Damian goes to meet Michael with Ainsley. He wants to know if Michael has found any clues to Mayumi's lover's whereabouts or not because he has to give information to his men who are in Japan.
Michael was already sitting in front of the computer and waiting for their arrival. Surely she was together with Marline who was still lamenting her first expensive broken bag.
"Still lamenting over her bag?" michael asked while glancing at his pensive wife.
"That was the first expensive bag I had," Marline replied in a listless tone.
"Here you go, I'll buy you another more expensive one."
"No way, I'm better suited to discount goods!" reject Marline.
Michael just shook his head and after that, he returned to focus to the computer screen. She had already gotten the original cctv footage before Mayumi's lover went missing at Shibuya Station so she was studying what was going on.
"What do you see?" ask Marline to know.
"Damian asked for my help to find the whereabouts of his friend's lover who disappeared suddenly."
"missing? That guy?" marline asked, pointing at Mayumi's lover, while Michael replied with a nod.
"Lost how? He's not like a missing person at all."
"Yes, the moves are suspicious, aren't they?"
Marline nodded, they looked back at the suspicious cctv footage. There seems to be a bit of conspiracy going on but Michael can only give Damian a warning because he doesn't want to interfere.
Out there, Damian and Ainsley are here. A servant welcomed their arrival and invited them to come inside.
"Sir Mich, we've come, already" Ainsley called out to her brother while slightly shouting.
"Don't yell, it doesn't bother them" Damian said.
"It's okay, it looks like brother is in his computer room," Ainsley grabbed Damian's hand and led him to his brother's computer room.
Ainsley opened the door of the room without hesitation and indeed her brother was inside together with Marline. They both look serious in front of the computer, certainly look at the cctv footage found by Michael carefully.
"Sister, I've called you" said Ainsley.
They went inside, approaching her brother who was busy noticing the oddities on the cctv tape carefully.
"Sister, did you find anything?"
"Hm, this is very strange" said Michael.
"What does that mean?" ask Damian.
"Come here and see the cctv footage I found."
"You've got the original footage?" ask Damian.
"Yes, but a lot of weirdness is shown in this tape!"
Damian approaches Michael, while Marline takes Ainsley out of the room to make a drink. Damian sits down next to Michael, his eyes focused on the computer screen and Michael shows a cctv recording where Mayumi's lover arrived at Shibuya station for the first time.
"Take a good look at the recording!" said Michael.
Damian sees the cctv footage where it shows the moment Mayumi's lover gets off the train and walks out, she is approached by several men. They were seen chatting and after that, one of the men he was talking to suddenly pulled out a gun and threatened him.
Mayumi's lover's body was searched and after that, her phone was thrown into the trash. With a pistol strapped to the back, Mayumi's lover is again taken aboard the train. The cctv inside the train had even been traced, they arrived at the prefecture and after that disappeared.
Michael had hacked the satellites to search for their whereabouts but had not discovered them at all. The people who took him were also missing, there was no trace at all, no suspicious movements at all. Damian must not underestimate his opponent.
"He's missing?" damian asked after finishing looking at the cctv footage shown by Michael.
"Yeah, gone!" answer Michael.
"I've hacked the cctv in this section but they don't exist and I think there may be a secret room in this place so they can take the hostages away without a trace, or...," Mihcael stopped his words, while Damian looked at him with a curious expression.
"Or what?" ask Damian.
"Sorry Damian, I don't mean to accuse you but you better suspect your best friend's lover and ask your best friend to be careful" Michael said.
"Do you suspect him?" ask Damian again.
"Yes, take a good look from the beginning!" Michael returns to play the tape in which Mayumi's lover gets off the train at Shibuya station.
Damian looked at her for a moment and then looked at the computer screen again. Right, should Mayumi's lover fight, there even many people who can help him if he fights and asks for help. At least he had two legs to escape but why didn't he do it?
"See, he was carried easily with a gun. His phone was taken and thrown away, why? Then why is the location spread to several places?" ask Michael. Surely he was busy with his wife from earlier to see the awkwardness they found.
"Is this some kind of conspiracy, Mich?'' ask Damian.
"Would you hear my theory?" ask Michael anyway.
"Of course."
"We can see from the movements alone is already suspicious. If they're looking for your best friend then why should they throw away the phone. Aren't they able to trace your best friend's whereabouts from his cell phone number but why don't they do it. Then why are they spreading locations to places and manipulating the footage to show that your best friend's lover is missing."
Damian seems to be thinking, is this some kind of conspiracy to bring Mayumi back to Japan?
"We know the lion is the king of the forest. A lion will rule in his pack but if it is in the den of Hiena and is in the midst of a Hiena horde, what will happen?" ask Michael.
"So you're saying they want to trick Mayumi into returning to Japan so they can catch her easily?" ask Damian anyway.
"Yes, that's what I mean. They have power in Japan but beyond that? They must have thought of the risks if they were to break out of their area of power. Don't let them get stuck like the lion because they don't know who their opponent is yet so you better tell your best friend to be careful of his lover."
"Thanks, I'll tell you. May I request a copy of this tape? I'll show it to Mayumi" Damian said.
"Sure, wait a minute," Michael took out a flash that he would use to transfer data.
While waiting, they discussed a few things. Just then, Ainlsey walked into the room while carrying the drink she made.
"Is it done?" tanyakanya.
"A little more" Damian replied.
"Where's Marline?" ask her sister anyway.
"The room, he said he wanted to sleep."
"Ck, must still be lamenting about the bag!"
"Why don't you buy me a new one?" ask Ainsley.
"That's the first expensive bag he's got so just let it go, later get used to it too."
Ainsley chuckled, if it's done they should just go home because he did not want to interfere with his brother's time with his wife.
"If it's over let's go home," Ainsley said.
Damian nodded, it was already afternoon so it was time for them to go home let alone have something he wanted to talk to Mayumi about. After finishing getting the desired recording, Damian and Ainsley bailed home. Damian was very grateful to Michael for helping him even the card he wanted was made.
Before going home, Damian takes Ainsley first.
"Dam-Dam, where are we going tomorrow?" ainsley asked as they were on their way home.
"where are you going? Tell me."
"What if we go watch? Take Mayumi along, I'm sorry for her."
"You sure?" Damian glanced at Ainsley for a moment.
"Yes, you don't mind, do you? I really feel sorry for him. It must be hard for him to lose the people he loves one by one."
"You're right, then I'll take her tomorrow."
Ainsley smiled, she really pityed Mayumi. After all having fun together did nothing wrong especially when she and Mayumi left, the girl was very happy.
They had arrived, and before Ainsley got out of the car, Damian gave a kiss on the forehead.
"Tomorrow I'll pick you up" he said.
"I wait and don't forget, take Mayumi."
"Surely," Damian replied as he kissed his lips.
Ainsley picked up her bag and got out of the car, while Damian went home. During the trip Damian thought of one thing, would Mayumi believe what he would say later? Dai reckon Mayumi will not believe his words just like that because she knows, Mayumi loves and trusts her lover even though she has a recording that she can use to give Mayumi an explanation. Then, did he have to tell Mayumi and warn her to be careful of her lover? Whether Mayumi would believe or not Damian.
