Night 1
When the truck grinds to a halt at a red light, the four prisoners sneak out the back. Shun leads the way. They come to a secondhand shop and Ryunosuke picks the lock. Inside, they find garments to blend in with normal civilians.
“Someone left their phone on charge,” Kuya says. He picks it up off the counter.
“Put it down,” Ataru warns him.
Shun is disposing of their prison attire in a black plastic sack. “Who just leaves their phone behind at the end of the day?”
It’s a rhetorical question, but the answer dawns on them all at once. Just as they exchange a glance the overhead light powers into life. At the back of the shop, a woman emerges. Before anyone has time to react she has run to the front desk and flipped the alarm.
Ryunosuke bolts forward, jumping over the counter. Moments later he has her hands around her throat, pinning her to the wall.
“Don’t just stand there,” he says, “move!”
Ataru’s not sure where it came from; but within moments Shun is by Ryunosuke’s side, dragging a knife across the woman’s throat. Green blood spills down the front of her uniform.
“Let’s get out of here,” Ryunosuke says.
The rest of them run, but Ataru stays. He watches as she falls to the floor. He can hear her gargling on her own blood. He wants to do something. But there is this siren blaring in his ear and blue lights flashing through the windows. He’s rooted to the spot.
“Ataru!” Kuya yells. He’s stood at the backdoor, motioning with his hands.
Then Ataru feels a hand around his bicep. Shun’s half-leading, half-dragging him out of the shop. Behind him, he can hear glass smashing as the cops force their way through the front door. But there is no time to look back. He breaks into a run. Then moments later he finds himself being shoved into a police car. He looks to the driver’s seat, and he sees Ryunosuke.
It’s not long before the police clock on and are tailing them.
