章 1563: Adept Preparation

On my way to the train station, I never ran into Ichihara Jun or the other man in suit that was supposed to accompany him to look for Marika. That guard was probably still leading the idiot on his futile search to buy a lot of time for her.

Those two guards were aware of the rolling food cart where the photo originated and he possibly didn’t lead the guy there.

I guess I could say that I owe them one. Or two... since on my way out, the other guard diligently left to check back on the Ichihara Compound for something that Marika supposedly lost, giving me the window of opportunity to make my exit. Next time, I might be benevolent enough to not make their jobs difficult. I’ll let them know that Marika is safe and sound when I next abducted her out of their sight.

Anyway, with no one else around, Marika even walked me to her front door. Obviously, she didn’t let me just leave like that. She jumped in my arms and we shared one last intimate moment for the night.
