The tallest grabbed my shoulders and spun me around. "Hold him still, Aki." The little one said. "Then hurry up." His voice was light, like he was making a joke, but the pitch was deep, nearly a baritone sound. "Hi there, Saito. I'm Kito. Nice to be your breakout partner." He mumbled to me as he stepped behind me. I heard a click. Both pairs of handcuffs fell to the floor. "But... I only popped one pair." Kito mumbled to Aki. "Yeah. I picked a cop's pocket and got a pen. It's ridiculously easy to pick these cuffs." I rubbed my wrists and stretched. "Wow. Thanks." I jumped up onto the table and popped the clip off the pen. I started unscrewing the vent. "Woah, woah. What are you doing?" Nishiki asked me. "Getting out." I deadpanned. "We can walk you out. Come on." How do I know I can trust them? I heard a lot of heavy footsteps. "Yeah, let's go." I left the vent, stuffed my hands into my pockets, and followed Nishiki out of the interrogation room.

"Hey Shizu, I have a surprise for you so I'm making dinner tonight to make up for it."
I heard some shuffling. "Make up for what? What did you do?" She asked him. "Nothing, nothing. It's a surprise, so you'll see when you get back from work." She groaned. "Okay. Fine. Love you." She said. "Love you too, Shizu. And no worries, okay?" He mumbled. "Okay. I'll see you when I get home." I waited for them all to leave, to do something other than stare at me. They motioned to the van behind them. I got in and they shut the door behind me. I feel like I'm going to regret this...
