Summary: Here. Chapter Eight
had been very naive to believe that there were fewer people in the botanic garden compared to the number of people in the morning she went to the inauguration, as well as the sun was not so unbearable that was hours ago . Apparently, the fact that it was less hot was the trigger for all return to the site and fill again, but if examined in detail, the crowd was only slightly less. He must have imagined it, anyway.
peering walked by if they see someone I know, but given that nobody was interesting, went winging its way to the lounge were inside the place. On his trip, he saw a white van, sensing could be that the Jackal, as there was no evidence that someone took and was one of the few vehicles that were leaving after the morning ceremony.
He stopped on the side of the car and examined it, noting a few things inside that did verify his suspicions about the owner. He then directed his gaze to the large white structure which has been the hall where the event occurred. He called enough attention to the number of mirrors that covered part of the roof and one side of the place, giving it a more sophisticated, but thinking about how vulnerable could be in times of winter. Miró, this time into the case Marui saw walking down the entrance, but only saw a few people around and formal in dark suits, knowing that these were mostly guards watching the place and waiting for closing time , which would be in a few minutes.
course, Bunta was responsible for food, so it was right to find in the kitchen and not in the main entrance, thought Yanagi later, which at first had thought to find it near the car, complaining about how late it had arrived and appetite was killing him. Thus, he went cautiously to the place that would possibly kitchen or what you seem to find the boy and take it.
arrived, they found a woman dressed as a cook, so it was more appropriate to ask her where she was the boy. Also, do not lose much to consult, because if they knew him by name, would probably say that it was a red running from side to side and she quickly say that I had seen him a few minutes. But before asking the woman who passed on his way collided abruptly with a subject, who came crashing to the ground.
- Hey, look where you're going! "Complained the boy in the ground in pain. Renji looked at again to make sure that the guy was nothing more nor less than Marui.
- Marui?
- Hey, Yanagi? Asked the incredulous redhead looked up after hearing his name. You had told me it was you from the beginning. I've been all day bumping into people.
"Sorry, but neither had noticed it was you," he apologized the highest. Helped the boy get up and wiping the impeccable white suit he had brought, raised an eyebrow Yanagi skeptical. Are you still working? Jackal told me that when he arrived and would be ready.
"Oh, yes, I ordered a last minute thing, so I took while Jackal came ... wait, that was when the boy noticed something. Have you been to replace Jackal?
-Jackal went with Yagyuu to the coast to quote prices.
- Price Quote? Asked confused.
"For dinner, I explained that as they passed some people close to them, looking disapprovingly Bunta, which Renji did not take long to notice. You better finish your work. I'll wait outside, near the car of Jackal.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. See you there, "stammered the boy when he received a significant glance from a man in charge of the place, starting back toward the kitchen. Yanagi
went back to the place where the vehicle was dark, this time with a slower pace, knowing that would not immediately Marui, as it seemed that there was still work to do.
Come to think of when they were all together, Niou's attitude was quite suspicious, but could not figure out why, although it used to be in high school, was not really anything new. But he did notice the change in attitude when he was about Seiichi, apparently aware of something the peliplateado had done. Surely you heard about the murder of the man who worked at the company and Yagyuu Niou? Do not be novelty anyway, Yukimura worked at a newspaper and the case was popular, but it was precisely what worried him: the peliazul knew anything more about it, I was sure that it undoubtedly related to Masaharu.
"It would be strange if Niou had to do with the death of ..." but could not finish his conclusions, since a case was lodged in his field of vision, startling.
- Niou "killed someone?! Asked a terrified Marui, almost leaving carrying case falls to the ground. Renji then realized what he had said and what he had heard the redhead.
"Not exactly," he said, helping the boy to carry the box. Only mine are stupid hypothesis, "he continued, trying to lower the profile to your comment.
- But they are theories terrible! "She spoke alarmed, imagining how dangerous it had become the peliplateado over time.
took from their pockets for the car keys and handed them to Renji to drive to the restaurant where they were waiting Yukimura and Niou. Continuing with the theme of Niou, at Bunta not it funny that, because if it Yanagi talked about killing someone, see it in person was not going to cause the same impression when I saw him before, but always had a bit scary. He left the box in the back seat and climbed in the passenger seat, while Yanagi did in the driver.
"By the way, what does that box? Asked the curious boy before starting the engine.
-Eating
simply replied, forcing a big smile. On a bit and could not leave her there to be wasted. Renji
lent itself to start the engine of the car, while Marui watched him doubtfully, wondering what the boy had said minutes earlier about Niou, can not yet convinced about what he heard. He grimaced and then sighed loudly, trying to leave behind these bad thoughts, hoping that truly Yanagi assumptions are incorrect. He was silent a few minutes until he realized something was not working: the car was not walking. Yanagi looked frowning willing to claim why they did not leave a good time before they repent and return to thinking about things I did not want, but realizing the face of his friend, his own changed as well.
- What, Yanagi? He asked, puzzled, as the other remained motionless in his place, as if seeking some imaginary answer to the many questions that seemed to form in his head.
-The engine does not walk, "replied simply, still staring at the steering wheel and static with one of his hands holding the key. Marui raised an eyebrow, thinking it was a joke, but given that the boy slowly opened the door to go to inspect, changed his mind. Yanagi
"Hey, it is strange that when we come to work if Jackal had no problem," he said casually, but still puzzled by the apparent failure that occurred. Perhaps the heat is the culprit?
"Maybe a sensor," whispered the boy approached the hood. I'll take a look.
- How many sensors have the car? Asked the redhead again, having little and no idea what he was talking Yanagi and I had to do with the car sensors.
"More than fifty, at least, thanks to this answer, Bunta almost stumbles out of nowhere.
- More than fifty?! You're kidding right? Are you going to review all? Will you find the solution before-reviewed ... the clock that gave the five-thirty, eight o'clock at night?
-Marui ... "the tallest boy was able to see the other side of the car and noted with irony.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, quickly bringing his hands to his neck, looking around and looking for something which does not get bored. Renji expected to finish repairing whatever he had the car before the site closes, or in thirty minutes if I wanted to be accurate, because it would help in pushing the vehicle up out of the venue and that would be an effort too much for him, if it had been nearly all afternoon standing charge of that nothing is missing and sending his subordinates do their job. Should be effective, efficient but above all, to make a good impression of the company where it belonged and so to have the opportunity to work more often lead to others.
He sat on a bench near where the car was, but got up quickly, remembering the food that was left in the box, in the back seat. Went to look for something that would serve as an appetizer and so did not starve on the road, so it took about two pies and took them back to where he had sat before. More relaxed, watched from that place how Yanagi was apparently in vain to seek a solution to the problem that the vehicle because his face was a more like a frustrated, thought the red.
When he had finished his cake, he went to the other guy with the best of intentions now that he had eaten and also not to upset his friend, so she approached carefully and taking a look at the thousands of things standing next to the engine.
- How are you? She asked amicably. Renji lowered his hood and sighed resignedly, causing bad feeling about the other guy.
"I think I'll need some tools , Spoke at last, turning his gaze to the lounge where there was less people and therefore fewer vehicles to the contours.
Jackal "Then see if you have something saved back," said the boy are sensible, but before giving more than two steps, chestnut interrupted.
-Jackal does not have the tools they need, "whispered the boy, explaining. Implements that have no use for what I do.
- What do you want? Did you find the problem? Bunta asked interested yet skeptical.
"Yes, but if you mean," I understand? "Was there when snorted Marui uncomfortable, knowing that the answer as he knew both Yanagi.
"Good point, then do not say anything," the boy put his hands in his pockets, waiting for the other to say something to solve the problem. Yanagi always had the solution to everything and was one of the few in which one could trust with my eyes closed. Marui had always had an appreciation for it. What shall we do?
"I was thinking if people are still in place, have the tool I need," explained. Yes, it was a very wise decision, typical of him.
- Do you want to ask? He looked at the redhead, though I knew that all his closest acquaintances had already left the place.
"No need. I'll ask myself, "he offered, keeping the things that had taken off and walk down into the room to find someone with at least some aspect of mechanical knowledge and thus get what he needed to fix the car once and for all.
was already about six o'clock in the afternoon and remained standing Marui alongside Renji car waiting to leave the place to come and repair the vehicle. Because of the delay, I imagined that the boy had been doing a bit of social life, but which, in turn, had found someone with a much needed tool or better yet, someone with knowledge of this kind better than the same Renji.
was about to get into a car to pick up the box and get another couple of cakes, but before he did that, Yanagi spotted leaving the room with a tool box he carried in his right hand. Seeing this, Bunta is brightened and smiled genuinely, approaching the man.
- Did you find it? He asked enthusiastically. Yanagi smiled back.
"Of course.
-It expected, coming from you, "she said giving him a couple pats on the back as he passed into the hood again. I hope that now you can fix it.
"Yes, but try to be close. You might need to throw to start the engine, asked the boy, to what Bunta not refuse, but ...
"But I can not start the engine," said Yanagi alarmed.
-Take-ordered, swinging the car keys. Just turn the key, as if you were opening a door. That's it.
"Oh, I see ..." he murmured as he watched the key turning where was the wheel and looking for place to insert the key. Jackal This is because I never wanted to teach to drive!
He decided to sit on the steering wheel until Renji called him and told him he could start the engine, but it seemed that whatever it was that was causing problems, I was taking enough of an effort the boy. Yanagi was well known that he was aware of everything, but obviously the cars were not exactly their specialty. They spent about fifteen minutes, and fortunately for both, has not closed the place, and abundant still people walking inside the compound, while those in charge of the place, just managed to get some families.
-Marui, you can start the engine, "said the man, who remained close to the engine to make sure everything was walking to perfection when the red jump-start the car.
- Okay! "Answered back. Carefully introduced into the key and subtle movement, spun. To see if this was ...
But there was no satisfactory result. Marui thought he had turned the key too slowly, so he did it again, this time faster, but with the same results. Under the glass of the door and leaned over to tell the bad news.
- No go!
"I realized, Marui, snorted naming upset, thinking how naive I was doing look Yanagi.
"Okay, Mr. Smarty.
took another ten minutes until Renji returned to give the signal to start the engine again, but the boy had not listened to the first, since he had decided to turn the car radio and music. When I heard the order, just lowered the volume and turn the key again, without noticing a small detail.
The engine ignited.
- Turn! The engine starts! "Exclaimed the redhead happy finally seeing that his desire to get where they were all became more real. Come to think, I really wanted to see Akaya and bother in what was to be dedicated. I had heard that he still had two years in college, so I had to question him just to see. Yanagi, moreover, was to lower the hood and close it, but noticed that the car moved dangerously, in a moment that does not even move.
...
- No, Yanagi! -Marui had to stop at the nearest tree, where finally able to stop the car after leaving the foot on the accelerator the whole time he had been listening to music, angry that he was trying to indirectly Renji naive. As a result, when the engine turned on, the car took off at full speed forward, giving zero reaction time for the guy to step aside or to stop Bunta, trampling on the way to collide with a tree that was located a few meters.
He stayed in the car several minutes, shedding a few tears in silence, without being able to get out and see if your friend was conscious, unconscious or ... No! He refused to believe that Yanagi had been dying for that, was not even sure if he had dragged to where it was or had been on the road. He had not looked up yet, do not want to look and do not want to think about what I was thinking.
- Are you okay?! The voice of a man on the other side of the window woke him from his cloud abstract, making up slightly in sight.
- Yanagi, where is it? I ask in a desperate whisper and his face covered in tears.
"They are reviewing-are encouraged to reply, but his face did not show anything promising.
could not stay there for long.
Bunta was there when the order came quickly and found the scene most terrifying of his life: a pool of blood and a few people about something covered with a dark blanket, apparently being Yanagi, who remained on the ground lifeless, listening to others' comments about not having given the first vital signs aid received.
- N-Not true, v-truth? Stammered horrified. N-cannot be possible ... No, not kill him.
seemed to be dizzy or rather, that the landscape could hardly feel it was getting dark. Falling slowly felt invisible ground, but could not feel the body because of the lack of gravity that seemed to own it. All who got to hear before losing all senses, was the only thing that would not have wanted to hear in a lifetime.
The boy died.
And with his death, had been convicted of it too.
