The man placed a cloth over Michiko's mouth and nose. The cloth had a sweet smelling liquid on it which, coupled with Chokichi's screaming and crying, was the last thing that Michiko remembered before her world slipped into the deep dark void of oblivion. She awoke, some time later, with a major headache and something thick and heavy around her head. For a moment or two, she couldn't remember what had happened, but it slowly came back to her. She began to panic. She tried to find her brother, frantically searching for him under the thick tarp. The longer she searched, the more worried she became. She had been so focused on finding her brother that she didn't hear or feel the engine start up and the car start to move. She tried to break free of the tarp but couldn't. Screaming at whoever was driving, she flung herself in every which direction until the car stopped and the tarp was lifted from her head.
"What have you done with my brother? Answer me!" she screamed.
Blinded by tears, she threw a punch in the general direction of the other person, angry at herself when she missed, but more concerned about her brother. Her young, innocent brother.
