The door was suddenly opened up a crack and not a creak of sound was made. Two unknown intruders tiptoed their way onto the wooden boardwalk and approached the two beds; whom the occupants were not aware of what was going to happen next.At the same moment, the intruders clamped a cloth over the mouth and nose of the occupants who were sleeping soundly on the bunk beds.
"Oommph... Ooommphhhh...!" I was shocked as a piece of damp cloth was covering my mouth and nose as I tried hard to scream with all my might to grab the attention of others who were sleeping next to our cottage. I flailed my arms and grabbed someone who was wearing a type of heavy materials on the body. My eyes went wide as I struggled in my bed and tried to stand up or kick the person who was doing this thing to me!!
A heavy kind of chemical smell was on the cloth that covered my mouth and nose. I was gripped in a kind of headlock and was unable to move much; albeit to scream and shout and claw at the intruder. I looked over to my side and found that Chikashi was also in the same position as me, headlocked with a piece of cloth over his nose and mouth. He too was struggling to be free from the headlock and suddenly his body went limp.
Before I was knocked unconscious, my eyes went dim and everything around me had a sort of swirling feeling. I tried futilely to scream but no words came out and lastly all my energy left me and I slumped back into my bed. Only then I realized the intruder had removed the cloth that was filled with chloroform and laid me down on my bed as if nothing had happened.
Chikashi and I were quickly bundled into a body bag each made of thick nylon type of material. A zipper was then pulled from the end of the body bag right to the top of the head. A small s.p.a.ce between the ends of the zipper was left open to provide ventilation or else I would have suffocated a long time ago and unable to continue with this story.
Chikashi and I were unceremoniously carried out from our cottage and the door was softly closed; not to disturb the peace and tranquillity of those sleeping and untouched by the intruders.
G.o.d knows how many intruders were performing the deed that night as one by one, bundles of body bag that contained some of my cla.s.smates were carried out and dumped into a back of a vehicle, presumably a waiting van in the parking lot. A total of 12 body bags were stacked and it was a random act of kidnapping.
None of the students is from well known or filthy rich families. We are all consisted of average income families except for me of course, an orphan and works part-time to sustain and survive in this world. Neither the students were from tyc.o.o.n families or from families with significant recognition in the society. But what is the purpose of this abduction?
*** Daybreak. 630am. ***
Chaotic scenes erupted at the campground as teachers and guides were shouting out the names of the missing students and were going from one cottage to another and even those visitors not belonging from the school were not spared as their privacy was invaded by the storming teachers and guides.
The missing students were discovered during one of the morning roll call to awaken the sleepyhead to prepare for breakfast and also to announce the rest of the itinerary for the day. However, the next following scene was the total opposite of order!
Frantic scenarios were enacted as teachers and guides were calling everyone to a.s.semble to the main dining hall as they made a headcount for those who were present and those who weren"t. Some teachers were searching for the cottages of the missing students but found nothing amiss.
They discovered that the camping equipment was not disturbed or any of the students intending to leave the campsite without any knowledge of the teachers. They were shocked beyond belief that something bad had happened to the missing students.
The teachers made a list of the missing students that they were in charge of. One of the teachers called the local police department and was told that a despatch would be arriving there in a short while. Meantime a teacher went to the Government Office Building to report of the uneventful happenings.
Park rangers arrived shortly and with their electric buggies, a.s.sisted the teachers and guides to several possible places in the enormous Shimizu Park Camping Ground.
A park ranger and a teacher drove to another part of the camping ground, then to Nodashi Total Park and next to Noda Comprehensive Park Swimming Pools but their searches remained futile.
Another park ranger and another teacher drove to Shinizukoen Field Athletics, Konjoin Buddhist Temple, Harizuka place of worship and Deva; yet another historical place. The same results were received.
Meanwhile, another Park ranger and yet another teacher drove their buggies to the main road despite it was against the law to do so and headed to the Seki Sakuranosatoten Pharmacy, an electronics store up ahead after the junction before heading to a shopping mall called Beisia Super Centre. But the results remained grim.
Meanwhile, at the campsite, 2 police cars arrived with 4 smartly dressed cops with an investigating officer. The investigation officer took a clipboard from the teacher who was currently unable to grip with the current situation. The investigation officer read through the names of the missing students.

With the information was closely given by the teacher in charge, the investigation officer called to his headquarters and relayed the information at hand over to the switchboard operator thus sending it over to the appropriate "Organised Crimes Department" or OCD for short.
Officers in the OCD began to hurriedly call up the next of kin immediately to inform of the situation, telling the next of kin or "NOK" to remain vigilant for any phone calls coming through asking for ransom et cetera. They left the NOK to advise to call the OCD if they heard any news from their missing children or ward.
Wails of hysterical crying can be heard in each end as the officers advised them to calm themselves down and not to act rashly. A few parents insisted to rush over to the campsite but were strongly advised against it since there will be no one monitoring their phones at home as the numbers given were all residential landlines. They had to abide by the suggestions made by OCD.
The rest of the unaffected students began to form groups and lit candles among them. This practice was known in the j.a.panese customs in order to guide the missing students back to the campsite. Soon thereafter several white vans with the words "Department First Investigation Scientific Criminal Unit" or simply termed as The j.a.panese CSI arrived.
Groups of investigators began to cordon the area and dust the areas for fingerprints, traces of DNA as well as unusual tire and footprints left around the area. As it was a common area, combing for such shreds of evidence were like searching for a needle in a mountain heap of a haystack.
Several hours later...

The j.a.panese CSI boarded their vans and left the vicinity with little of pieces of evidence that they had collected at the crime scene as well the perimeter of 100 meters surrounding it. Nothing was shared with the initial policemen and their investigation officers. Even they are from the same group of law enforcement, but their scope of profession was from another level.
Cups of hot coffee, tea and cocoa were pa.s.sed around to calm down the teachers as well as the students. The scene was too intense and everyone was clearly shaken up from the uneventful happenings. The joy of being close to nature and enjoying themselves initially had been totalled destroyed with the sudden abduction of students with no apparent reasons whatsoever.
Meanwhile on a remote island far away from the civilization...
