The phone rang in the middle of the night, echoing in the dark.
Ryo looked up and sighed. It's been so long since he's had a
good night's sleep, and this one was slowly becoming one till
the phone rang, rang, and rang.
Frustrated and pissed, Ryo grabbed the receiver and grunted
"Hello?".
"Is this the home of Ryo Hayashi?" The voice on the other side
of the line responded firmly.
"Yes?"
"We need you to come into the station immediately." The voice
responded in a hurry.
"Reason?"
"A body has disappeared..."
Ryo sighed as he realized the reason why he was called today.
"The body of Eiji Shinrow, right?"
The voice on the other side went silent.
"H-How did you know..." It trembled with a start.
"Why else would you have called someone not even related to the
'dead bodies' department?" Ryo snapped as he sat up on his bed.
Sighing and grumbling, Ryo told the officer that he would be
right there and started to put on his pants.
Why in the hell would anyone steal a cadaver? Was all that he
could think of as he hurriedly slipped into some shirts and
grabbed a jacket off his couch. And better yet, why in the hell
Eiji Shinrow's? Pretty much a John Doe in a station full of dead
bodies and jailed criminals?
It had to be someone he knew, maybe even the person who set up
his mysterious death?
Ryo put on the police siren as he sped into the night. |
