41 Thats it. (1/2)

Pushing open the door, I was greeted by cement stairs heading downwards. The heavy metal door slammed shut behind me and automatically locked.

. . .

That was anticlimactic.

I guess they don't want me running away. That's no problem, I wasn't planning on fleeing in the first place.

At least there are lights in here. Good, now I know that they are civilized at least.

I took the stairs down into what I guessed was the hotel's basement.

Looking around the plain, grey, narrow hallway that I entered into, I saw many identical doors lining the walls and one double door at the end of the hallway. I tried opening a random door and found it locked. So they want me to go through the ones at the end.....

I leisurely headed towards the very foreboding doors with my headphones hanging around my neck.

Time to meet this incredibly rude person who sends texts after midnight. I'll give him a good smack for waking me up.

I pushed open the doors and walked through with no hesitation.

Bright lights shined on my face causing me to squint and adjust to the sudden change of lighting. Ugh, I keep forgetting to bring sunglasses wherever I go.

”Oh look who finally showed up! It's Miss. Yuri. Nice to have you.” A man's voice resounded. ”How was your trip?”

I blinked a few times before my vision finally returned. Scanning the room which was around the size of my house in Sapphire, I saw a man sitting on a couch in the middle of the room with his legs up on a glass table in a very arrogant manner and his arms swung behind the backrest. He had bright red hair done in a spikey hairstyle, sunglasses (tsk) pushed up in his hair and a capital 'B' tattooed on his right cheekbone. Looks like a rich kid.

I don't like him already. I looked around for a place to sit down.

”What, not gonna answer me? Are you simply ignoring me or are you already charmed by my handsomeness?” He said in an irritating voice.

”I'm ignoring you. You aren't even going to give your guest a place to sit or something to drink? I'm still too young to drive you know, I had to bike all the way here.”

His two subordinates who were standing behind the couch tensed at my words. The man simply laughed at what I said and beckoned for them to bring over a chair. I sat down and matched his arrogant posture by leaning back and propping one foot on the edge of the seat. He simply observed me with interest and didn't say anything. I looked around a bit more. If he wasn't going to talk then I won't either.

The room was furnished extremely lavishly compared to the plain hallway. The floor was covered by a red carpet, (Why it was red, I don't want to know.) an office chair and desk was behind the coach with bookshelves lining the walls. A few computers were on and lined up on the desk, probably connected to the security system. I recognized a few book titles based on criminal psychology and martial arts on the shelves. How ironic. Finishing my observation, I turned to the man who was just silently sitting very comfortably on his leather couch.

”How long are you going to keep staring?” I asked while glaring at him.

”You're just so interesting I couldn't help it. Anybody tell you that you're a real looker?” He chucked. ”You're not even gonna ask why I called you here? Not gonna ask about me either?”

I placed my hand under my chin and propped my elbow up on the chair arm.

”I don't particularly care, I just want to sleep. I still have school tomorrow you know. I would prefer it if you just finished things up quickly. I don't enjoy keeping such an arrogant person company at all.”

His subordinates drew their guns and angrily pointed them at me.

”Be quiet! A good for nothing girl like you-! Rude! You have no right to speak in such a manner.”

Um, excuse me? You guys are the ones being rude. Pointing a gun at me for no reason, their attitudes really suck.

The man frowned and finally sat up properly. A light shone within his pitch-black eyes.

I recognized that light, it was the look of a scheming rat.

”Yuri Mizuki. You are in no position to act arrogant. I would look around if I were you and open your eyes. This is my territory, you can't escape. If you don't act obediently then I'm afraid you won't end up nicely.”
