Chapter 5

I tried. There were no clues as to how I could save his life. So, I did what I thought was best.

For the fourth time, I decided not to get in the car.

A hostage who’s completely forgotten she’s a hostage, dragging the robber toward the bus stop. It’s a pretty bizarre situation, but who cares!

 

“Hey, what the hell are you doing!”

 

At this point, I’m just desperate.

 

“No cars! They’ll track us down!”

 

Saying that, I grabbed his arm.

The survival knife—Shinji’s only weapon—fell out of his hand when he got into a scuffle with the security guard and injured him. In short, Shinji is completely unarmed.

And I somehow knew that Shinji wasn’t a bad person. That’s why I figured that even if I pushed him a little forcefully, he wouldn’t hit me.

And my hunch was spot on. Shinji put up some resistance, but he went along with my forceful lead. Though I do wonder about that……

I moved to the street across the way and shoved Shinji onto a bus that had just pulled up. “At this rate, it’s impossible to tell who’s the hostage here”, I thought to myself.
