Prologue
"Miss Akemi, can you hear me?!"
"I can hear you just fine, now shut up and run!"
"It's going to explode!!!"
"That's why I said RUN!!!"
The clacking of her stiletto boots as she ran.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Her lips parted, gasping for air.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The blood roaring in her good ear, the ringing in the other.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The useless, pitiful sobbing and wailing of the trapped pawns.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The old faithful guard dog at the girls heels.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
They thought by running, they could escape.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Tch.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
How wrong they were.
