Remember Me, Baby.
Hiro

“Hiro?” muttered Keiko quietly, "Is that really you?”

Although the figure in front of her was not clearly visible, Keiko recognized her voice very well. He was very sure that the figure who was now only a few inches in front of him was Hiro, his fiancee. Earlier he had hesitated when he briefly saw one of Hiro's confidants near the souvenir stand. But now he knows he didn't see it wrong.

“Finally you came too. Quickly get out of here, those people are still after you,” Hiro said as he turned around and opened the window very carefully.

“People? Who?” ask Keiko doesn't understand.

“Fruit Ryuchi,” replied Hiro, making Keiko hold her breath in surprise.

“So, you sent people to watch me?”

“Yes. No other way.” He gestured for Keiko to climb up the window immediately and get out of the room. “Quick. We can talk about it later. No much time.”

“Wait!” sergeant Andrew who had been silent behind Keiko. He advanced and stood in the middle, becoming the separation between Keiko and Hiro.

The man looked at Hiro sharply and again said, “How did you get here?”

Hiro snorted softly and replied, “Now is not the right time to argue, Mr. Roux. Keiko's safety is far more important. After all, if you are more vigilant and take good care of it, I will not appear here.”

“Omong empty! Who can guarantee this isn't the result of your design?” talk Andrew out loud enough. Both of his hands clenched tightly at his sides, signaling a fairly obvious change in emotion within him.

“Omong empty?” reply Hiro cynical. In the dimness, the man's body emitted a quite clear aura of hostility. He shifted slightly to the left and opened the closet door.

Brak!

Andrew and Keiko were both shocked when suddenly something fell from the closet. Despite not being able to see clearly, Keiko was quite certain that the one that had just fallen was human. The figure did not move and just lay on the floor. Shortly after, a faintly rancid fragrance billowed out in the air. Now Keiko is more and more convinced that it is someone's corpse.

“A-what is this?” Keiko took one step back. “Who is he?”

“Fruit Ryuchi. They are everywhere.” Hiro pulled Keiko's hand and led her by the window. “Quick. Get the fuck out of here. I'll explain it again later.”

Andrew still wants to argue. From the outside, however, there was the sound of feet approaching them. He swiftly helped Keiko up to the top of the window, then followed behind him.

Hiro jumped over the wooden window easily, then sped up his pace and took the lead in front. He ran through the towering trees on the right and left sides of the footpath.

“Ke left direction. My car is there!” he did not slow down his footsteps. Right now, every second is precious. Too late just a little, then it is likely that the enemy will succeed in capturing them.

Andrew is forced to withdraw Keiko's hand and follow Hiro. This time they had no choice. He did not bring any troops to this place because he thought it was all done. Hiro was right, he was negligent because he had relaxed his vigilance.

“Wait! Don't run!”

Andrew looked over at a glance when he heard a screaming voice coming from behind. There were several men in black clothes leaping from the window and running towards them. From their facial expressions, it was clearly not from the side of comrades.

“Sials. Baby, run faster!” he rushes while accelerating the movement of his legs to run. It was easy for him to fight against those intruders, but .. if there was another safer option for Keiko, of course he would choose it.

“Quick!” the thrill of pressing the button near the steering wheel, making the door on the back open automatically.

Keiko's breath is hunting. He seemed to be floating in the air because Andrew pulled his hand very strongly, making his body forced to adjust to the man's speed. When she finally reached the side of Hiro's car, the girl jumped in and slammed the door shut. He sat down and regulated his irregular breathing.

Andrew entered from the other side and sat down next to Hiro. He closed the door quickly and put on his seatbelt.

“Handling!” hiro shouted while stepping on the gas pedal deeply. The sound of tires squeaking because rubbing against the asphalt makes dust fly in the air. The car also shot as fast as lightning on a fairly quiet road.

From the rearview mirror, Andrew could see his pursuers raising their hands while running.

Dor's!

Dor's!

Dor's!

The sound of gunshots broke the silence of the night.

“Keiko, duck!” andrew and Hiro together.

In the back, Keiko lowered her head to almost touch her knees. “Don't worry, I'm fine.”

Andrew and Hiro let out a sigh of relief. The two men then glanced at each other briefly before looking back ahead.

“Sorry to break our agreement, Mr. Roux, but I cannot let Keiko be in danger,” Hiro said after successfully turning the corner and breaking away from the pursuers.

Andrew gritted his teeth and did not answer the statement. Right now, there are so many things he wants to say. However, realizing that there was Keiko who was listening from the back bench made him undo the intention. He didn't want the girl to misunderstand him and stay away from him. Their relationship has reached a good level. He does not want Keiko to go back away and keep her distance just because of misunderstanding.

“How did you know that Ryuchi's men would attack us?” ask Andrew with such intonation by interrogating.

The corner of Hiro's lips was pulled upwards, giving a sneering grin on his face. He then replied, “Do you think our organization is that simple, Mr. Roux? You think, how did I get away from the Zeotrope? It's because my men infiltrate everywhere, just like Ryuchi. He can order people to finish you off despite being behind bars. How do I know the plan? Of course because I have spies in the organization. I came here immediately upon hearing the news that he sent people to kill Keiko.”

Andrew's hands were clenched tightly over his thighs. Suddenly he felt useless. He almost made the same mistake as in the past and put Keiko's life in danger.

Looking at Andrew who was just speechless, made Ryuchi feel like he had the upper hand. He again said, “You think, since Ryuchi was captured, then his men will automatically disperse? Moreover, he was the only remaining descendant of the Nakamura Family, it would naturally not be that easy to get rid of him. I can't believe you're really sloppy.”

Andrew could only remain silent. Hiro's words are all true. He's very sloppy. At a glance he saw looking through the reflection of the glass that was on the dashboard, Keiko was staring out through the window. The girl's forehead wrinkled deeply, looking like she was thinking about something complicated.

Andrew had intended to pick up his phone and send a message to Kim, but it wasn't in his pants pocket. He frowned and tried to remember, then realized that the object was still in the metal case left in the room. He took a deep breath and cursed in his heart. Now, how do I ask for help?
