Chapter 1 : Darkness

It was all dark. Too dark.
Yoriko had not moved an inch from her chair.

***

It's all dark. I cannot see a thing. Quiet too. I think I can hear everything that is going on around here.
Frankly, if I had lost the sense of Touch, I won't be able to tell if I was blindfolded.

***

The lights came back on. The air conditioning restarted. Yoriko still sat in her chair, not moving. But there was something different about her. She was blindfolded with a black cloth. Two men in black, moving like quicksilver, were behind her. One of them held an aerosol spray can. They carted her off her room, not leaving a single trace, nor did they make a single creak.
They had, however, left a CF card. A 16 Gigabyte CF Card on her table. It was a red colored card, with bold white wordings : TOBEOPENED IFYORIKO NOTFOUND

The wordings were odd. They were printed with some words sticking together.

A kidnap had taken place.
