Remember Me, Baby.
Guard it

When seeing Keiko rush after Hiro, Andrew could only sigh deeply. He jumped down and stared until the girl disappeared at the end of the hall. He was upset, but could not do anything. What's upset for anyway? He himself does not understand.

“Why eat it like that?” ask cynical Jovanka, “You like her? Do you realize who you are and who he is?”

Andrew snorted and replied, “Please distinguish work and personal matters, Miss. My personal matter, it's none of your business.”

Andrew's words succeeded in making Jovanka silent. The woman could only clench her jaw tightly and stare at Andrew with a flaming look. Perhaps if the gaze of the eyes could spout fire, then Andrew was already burnt out.

Clark could only cover his face with his hands. He could not comment anything. Those two people are adults, they are free to do anything. After all, he did not want to interfere in the complicated affairs of love.

The three men turned their heads when a man wearing a beret hat approached them. The flapping man said, “Mr. Tanaka is waiting. Please follow me.”

Jovanka held all her complaints and followed behind the officer. He is determined to find out about Andrew and Sakamoto Keiko after all the business here is done. If he can't have Andrew, then no one can have him.

Andrew ignored Jovanka who was galloping forward like a wounded bull, then walked after him.

Clark tried to equate his steps with Andrew, then whispered, “Drew, you better have a reasonable answer when Mr. Tanaka asked why you saved the girl.”

“Hum,” murmured Andrew at a glance. Of course he thought about it carefully. He's planned everything.

Naoko gets out of the car and catches up with her colleagues. He was quite relieved because the mission went without significant obstacles, although his heart almost degenerated from the chest cavity as the criminal cars chased behind him. It was fortunate that they were blocked for a few seconds by the red light, just as it had been set before.

The man scanned the building before him at a glance. It looks like the building is some kind of military hospital. If they follow the original plan, they should go to the save house after exiting the building, however, Hiro's condition that lost quite a lot of blood makes Mr. Tanaka changed the meeting location. Perhaps the old man did not want to risk losing a valuable source of information. In addition, Hiro can be used as bait to lure Robert Castillo, the Central Headquarters certainly did not want to lose that opportunity.

Andrew's observant eyes watched the white-door spaces lined up along the passage. There are guards in every corner of the room. They carry the same type of weapons. Weapons commonly used by special forces to protect assets. CCTV cameras everywhere, as well as access in the form of biometric identification makes Andrew believe that this place is more than just a place of care.

It seems Clark also has the same understanding as his best friend. He locked his mouth tightly, not commenting in the slightest even though his mind was filled with questions. Despite looking a little careless, the man knew when it was time to shut up and go with the flow without much resistance.

After turning three times and passing through the covered guard, they finally stopped in front of a steel door. The bodyguard brought his face close to the iron box near the door, made the sensor light up and scanned his retina.

Beeping.

The light turned green. Shortly after, the steel door shifted to the right.

“Please,” said the bodyguard while giving way to Jovanka who was at the front.

“Thank you,” said the woman as she walked in.

Andrew and Clark followed into the spacious all-white room without much ado. There was a rectangular meeting table in the middle of the room. Jimmy and Satoru arrived first. They both sat across from Mr. Tanaka was talking on his cell phone.

After disconnecting his phone, Mr. Tanaka stuffed the thing into her pants pocket, then patted her hands at a glance.

“Good. I must say your work is quite good, although there is a small violation,”, the man said as he looked towards Andrew, “Is there any reasonable explanation, Mr. Roux?”

Hearing that question made Jovanka grin with satisfaction. He sat down and waited for Andrew's answer. To be honest, he wanted to see the man being sanctioned for violating orders.

“Miss Sakamoto is the weakness of Kobayashi Hiro. We can use his weakness to get the man to cooperate,” Andrew replied as he returned Mr.'s gaze. Tanaka, “If we let that girl die there, wouldn't that just make us enemies of that man? Would you like to cooperate with the people who dragged you out without saving your loved ones?”

Mr.Tanaka was squeaking, his forehead wrinkled deep. What Andrew said made sense. He didn't even think about it at all. His thin fingers tapped at the edge of the table slowly. After being silent for a long time, Mr. Tanaka said, “Alright. I leave this business to you.”

Andrew nodded slowly. “Thank you, Sir,” he said with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Jovanka's jaw tightened until the sound of her teeth clashing was heard by Clark. The man could only catch his breath and straighten his hair.

That cunning bastard was indeed very smart to improvise. It's only fair that the Chairman likes it so much, Clark grumbled inwardly.

“I give you permission and access to do anything to get Kobayashi Hiro to cooperate,”. Tanaka handed over a platinum card to his men.

“Good.” Andrew received the access card while smiling with satisfaction. His eyes were sharply tied as he glanced at Jovanka who was about to explode in his chair.

“We will arrange the next plan after Kobayashi agrees to cooperate. Now rest, bodyguards give each of your rooms keys.”

“Good, Sir.”

The grin on Andrew's face grew wider as he walked out of the room. Jovanka trotted away from the squad first, but Andrew did not want to bother.

“Sir, this is your room key,” said a female bodyguard who stopped in front of Andrew, “

“Thank you.” Andrew read the woman's name tag, then continued, “Miss Kim, I need your help.”

“Ready, Captain,” the woman replied seriously.

Andrew asked the woman to come closer, then whispered in his ear. Kim nodded, then saluted before leaving the passageway.

Don't be afraid, Baby. I'll take care of you ....
