89 89. Kidnapping
William was in the grocery store, shopping for dinner. He wanted to provide the best nutrition for his pregnant wife. Instead of buying ready-made food, he planned to make the food himself.
He checked the note in his right hand to make sure he had taken all the items he needed to make an avocado salad and chicken steak. He already googled the recipe online. It must be great if he managed to make them at home, from scratch.
“Avocado, shrimp, chicken, and butter,” William muttered to himself. “I still haven’t picked up the broccoli and asparagus.”
William then walked over to the vegetable counter to pick up a bunch of asparagus and a pack of fresh broccoli. He smiled in satisfaction because all the groceries he had bought looked so fresh. He then went to the cashier to pay for his groceries.
“That’s 1603 yen in total,” the young male cashier in white told him.
William’s brows furrowed. He forgot to calculate that he had to pay an 8 percent tax. He needed one hundred and three yen more. He then asked the cashier to wait for him. He went out of the shop for money from an ATM for a while because he avoided using credit cards even for small amounts.
Calmly, William entered the ATM. He did not suspect in the slightest that at that time two people were stalking him. Just as he was about to put the money into his wallet, that’s when a masked man walked into the ATM counter. Oh! It was a robbery! William was surprised because he had never experienced such a thing himself.
The masked man’s right hand held a gleaming metal object that William recognized as a penknife, which he also always had in his pocket when he was younger. The masked man glanced around to make sure no one saw him.
The masked man brought his body closer to William’s body and pointed the knife at William’s lower back. The knife didn’t touch his body, but he knew that a sharp object was pointed at him at that moment.
.....
William thought it was a robbery. He was lazy to deal with criminals. He did not expect that he would be robbed in the country that he thought was the safest. However, William remained calm. He only paid attention to the position of the knife and tried to keep his distance so he doesn’t get hurt.
William put the money and wallet into his coat pocket. He then raised his hand, as a sign he would not put up a fight. At least, he wasn’t planning on resisting the slightest since he knew that the criminal had a companion.
“Follow us!” said the masked man in a hoarse voice.
His voice was not very clear because he was wearing a mouthpiece. Of course, he spoke Japanese. Fortunately, William understood his words. A lot of free time made him learn a lot of Japanese.
“I can’t, I have to cook dinner for my wife,” William answered calmly.
“You don’t want to get hurt, do you?” rebuked the masked man again. “Be obedient and I won’t hurt your skin in the slightest.”
Because William still thought that this criminal only wanted money, he asked, “How much do you want? My wife will be home soon. I have to cook for her.”
“I don’t want your money,” replied the criminal.
“Then what do you want?” asked William again.
“I won’t hurt you as long as you obey us!” replied the masked man flatly. “Our boss is waiting for you. Come on, please!”
“Let me contact my wife first!” asked William again. “I don’t want her waiting for me at home.”
“You think we are stupid, no? You’re going to call the police, right?” said the masked man sarcastically.
“Relax, my wife is not a cop. She’s just an ordinary woman,” William tried to reply calmly but remained wary. After all, the masked man’s weapon was a knife, something that would easily injure him since the man’s movements were quite unpredictable.
William then shifted slightly, about to take his smartphone. However, the masked man quickly grabbed William’s smartphone, snatching it from him.
“Dissident!” The criminal then picked up the phone and was about to slam and destroy it. However, he remembered his boss’s order not to do unnecessary things. The man then put the phone in his pocket for keeping it safe. “Don’t do unnecessary stupid things anymore and obey us if you don’t want to go home in a body bag!”
The companion came closer. He helped his friend to take care of William. “Let’s go!”
William thinned his lips, he was lazy to obey the wishes of the two cockroaches that threatened him. However, it seems that something serious was going on.
“Okay!” William said giving up, took his things, and chose to follow the two thugs.
If William wants to, he would fight the criminals to get home. Unfortunately, he was curious about the person who ordered him to kidnap him. He didn’t feel that he had any mistakes that would make a villain want him.
Not long after, after his hands were tied up and his eyes were blindfolded, William and the criminals got into a black sedan, heading for their destination. The two thugs whose bodies were no bigger than William thought something was off. It was strange because William so obediently obeyed them. He looked relaxed as if he wasn’t in any danger.
“Why are you so calm?” the criminal asked William.
“I was about to ask, why are you scared?” asked William with an incredibly serene smile, making his captor sweat even more.
Not long after, William arrived at a traditional Japanese-style house. He got out of the car obediently. They undo the blindfold, making William able to see the well-preserved Japanese ancient house in awe.
“Is this a samurai house?” William asked one of the kidnappers who took his blindfold.
The kidnapper shook his head. “You are weird. Are you here for sightseeing?”
“Hey, I’m just asking,” William answered casually. “But if you don’t want to answer my question, that’s fine.”
It was only when the kidnappers led William inside the house, William knew why he was kidnapped during his first month in Tokyo.
A familiar old man greeted him in quite a polite way, “Welcome to our residence, Mr. Montgomery!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
