Michiko awoke to someone screaming. She bolted straight up in her bed and looked around. There were men all around them. One dragging Chokichi out. How had she allowed herself to fall asleep? What was going on? She thought as she sprung into action. She grabbed hold of her brother and held on tight. The man tried to pull him from her grasp but she kicked him in the chin. He let out a cry and let go of Chokichi. Seeing that the door was open, she tried to get away with Chokichi but something grabbed her from behind and pulled her back into the room. Chokichi began to cry as another man grabbed him. Someone slammed Michiko down against the concrete floor, leaving her disoriented. Trying to break free of her assailant, she squirms under his grip. She hears a rough laugh rupture from his lips, able to be heard over the noise of everything else. She struggled against his iron grip, desperate to get her brother and get away. But to where? she thought.
"Let me go!" She demanded.
"Not a chance sweetheart," he said, "You see, our boss realized that there were going to be some, let's say, complications in bringing you and your brother into America, so we are going to have to use plan 'B'."
For one reason or another, Michiko didn't like the way that sounded.
