OPEN — In which your muse is There to be grabbed by police (or someone, we can play with it) with BJ not because they were really wanted, but because they were with him in the wrong place wrong time. This presumes that they already know each other to some degree and are at least friendly acquaintances, but there is no need to have interacted before.

Barry James Anderson did not know how long they had been trapped there. The rope tied around his wrists and ankles was beginning to chafe, the thick hood over his head growing claustrophobic. There was no light here, had not been for a long while, and their captors had not returned for several hours. BJ would worry that they were being left to die here among the dust and rats if not for the fact that he recognised them. Recognised their voices.

The van had come when he and his companion were walking. It had been a nice evening and they had plans for dinner. "My treat," BJ had told them, grinning. "Fell into some good money this week." But down a darkened street, the van seemed to form from shadow, and men, four of them, all in dark clothes and dark masks, grabbed them both before BJ could register what was happening. Chloroform made the going down easier.

They had laid there in the back of the van for hours, not unconscious, but dizzy and fume-sick. Their hands had been tied the moment they were shoved into the back, and hoods thrown over their heads. The men's voices were distant and garbled in BJ's ears, but sometimes they laughed and he could feel them as they tormented his friend; the jerk and moan of a soft body next to him. A kick to the stomach here, a cigarette snuffed out there. BJ knew because he got the same, and by the time the van finally stopped and its rattling engine cut, he was sore from head to toe and too tired to beg.

From there they were led somewhere cool and damp that smelled of mildew. Not near a road, or not a well-trafficked one—BJ had listened hard, but there was no rumble of cars or any sound at all. No birds, no wind... It was as if they had been transported somewhere outside of the rest of the world. Spirited away from the world of the living and vanished into the shadow of a nightmare. They were alone here, him and his unfortunate friend. And BJ knew it was his fault.

Their captors had said nothing of substance to them no matter how much they were questioned. They worked them over until their bruises were refreshed and the ache in their ribs returned, then left them without a word. Without food. Without water. Without a single fucking hint as to why they were there.

"I'm sorry," BJ murmured. He didn't know if his friend was still conscious, but it needed saying. Because he knew. He could not bring their faces to his memory just now, but he knew those voices as well as he knew his own. "I'm so sorry... Are you—" Okay? Of course not. "Are you badly hurt?"

open: to mutuals and non mutuals. setting: summer anywhere in the 1980s. swimming pool or at the beach.

a whistle is blown before dropping back against his chest, starting to grow impatient. although, that didn't take much to wear his patience thin– it was getting triple frustrating that he might actually have to do his job as a lifeguard and save someone which is not what he wanted to do despite signing up for it. " i already told you once, so that's on you. if you actually go drowning, that'll be your funeral."

[It takes her earlier than thirty minutes to come, having nearly breaking the speed limit. Holloway pulls up her red car in front of Owen's apartment. She passes by the doors to look for his unit number and knocks on the door once she finds it]

Sorry for the wait. He made this a little difficult. Come inside!

[ofyorkshire]

open

           It is the 4th of October, 1979. Barry James Anderson is twenty years old, but he feels one-hundred.

          He sits at the corner of some nothing little street, cigarette burning down to his fingertips, and watches people pass. It's going on 9.30 p.m. He's got less than twenty-four hours before Joe Rose comes calling. Twenty four hours to scrounge up the money he owed him, or his debt's worth in blow. Neither seems likely, and the Spencer Boys are good to him, but not that good. Deadlines are expected to be met, even from their own, and BJ's been running on borrowed time for the past month.

          An old woman with hair dyed so black it looks blue hobbles past the grocery store, and he's a little surprised to see her out. Not many women, young or old, go out after dark anymore. Not with ol' Jack still on the loose. She'd be easy, BJ thinks. The image of following her down the street and dragging her into some shadowed alley comes to him like visions from Devils. His fingers flex around the outline of his switchblade tucked neatly into his pocket. She'd give up any money she had without any fuss, he's sure. Old ladies couldn't be nearer to death but they're always so keen on staying alive.

          She's turning, crossing the street to his. The muscles in BJ's thighs bunch. What might she have in her purse? £10? £20, if he's lucky?

          Closer. BJ jumps to his feet.

          Even if she doesn't have much money, that bracelet swinging around the old biddy's wrist would be worth something...

          Then, a man. He appears suddenly from BJ's left, out from behind a vehicle where he must have been waiting. He shouts something and joins the old woman with a hug and a shake of his head. BJ curses. Must be son. Good luck for old biddy. Bad luck for BJ.

          The pair walk back to the man's car and soon drive off, leaving BJ alone again to watch and wait.

          10.13 p.m. The streets are emptier than before, and BJ is getting restless. If he can't get the cash, Joe Rose will have him good.

          10.32 p.m. They catch his attention immediately. They look exhausted, barely shuffling one foot in front of the other, and with no one else around, BJ thinks that might be the best opportunity he's going to get. He follows them at a small distance for a while, light-footed in ratty trainers, and waits until they turn the corner, away from the safety of the street lamps. Then, swift and silent, he's on them. One hand claps around their mouth as he half drags-half pushes them into the alley. The business end of his switchblade presses dangerously against the soft of their waist.

          "Don't scream," he hisses. "Scream and we'll kill you."

💕Solo Career💕

Yumi Matsutoya (松任谷 由実, Matsutōya Yumi, born January 19, 1954), nicknamed Yuming (ユーミン, Yūmin),is a Japanese singer, composer, lyricist and pianist. Generally the writer of both the lyrics and the music in her songs,she is renowned for her idiosyncratic voice and live performances, and is one of the most prominent figures in the history of Japanese popular music.

Her recording career has been commercially successful with more than 42 million records sold. In 1990, her album The Gates of Heaven became the first album to be certified "2x million" by the RIAJ, and she has had twenty-one No. 1 albums listed on the Oricon charts.

 She is the only artist to have at least one number-one album every year on the Oricon charts for 18 consecutive years.

After gaining several years of experience as a session musician, she debuted as a singer-songwriter in 1972. During her early career, she worked under her birth name Yumi Arai (荒井 由実, Arai Yumi). In 1975, Arai became known as a composer for "Ichigo Hakusho wo Mou Ichido", a commercially successful song recorded by the folk duo BanBan. She also gained popularity as a vocalist in the same year through the success of "Ano Hi ni Kaeritai", which became her first number-one hit on Japan's Oricon Charts. Other famous songs include "Haru-yo, Koi" and "Sweet, Bitter Sweet".

She also uses the name Kureta Karuho (呉田軽穂), which is derived from the Swedish film star Greta Garbo, when offering her work to other musicians. 

In The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Japanese Culture, it is written that "Yuming incorporated influences from progressive rock and European pop to produce a sophisticated, upper-middle-class female Japanese voice and sound in a contemporary musical and journalistic world dominated by discussions of folk music and social critique. This musical idiom is generally thought to have been first realised on [...] Cobalt Hour".

The album The 14th Moon and the three albums that ranked in the top 10 of the Japanese charts in 1976 (Cobalt Hour, Yuming Brand, and Hikōki-gumo) "contained several songs which are considered to be early classics of the J-pop genre."

After marrying her musical collaborator Masataka Matsutoya in 1976, Arai began recording under her married name and has continued to do so. Throughout the 1980s, Matsutoya's music was prominently featured in advertisements for Mitsubishi Motors in her native Japan and her image was used to promote their vehicles. In addition to multiple hit singles, she has obtained enormous commercial success on the Japanese Albums Chart, particularly during the late 1980s and the first half of the 1990s.

The magazine Shūkan Gendai ranked Matsutoya third (behind only Miyuki Nakajima and Masayoshi Son) in a list of the smartest Japanese figures that was determined based on the criteria of "intelligence, determination, sensibility and capability".

💕Information On Yumi Arai💕

Early years

Yumi Arai was born in 1954 in Hachiōji, Tokyo. She had three brothers and one sister, and her family ran a draper shop called Arai Gofukuten, established in 1912. When she was a junior high school student, she used to go to an Italian restaurant called Chianti, which had opened in 1960. In those days, many celebrities went to the restaurant; Akira Kurosawa, Yukio Mishima, Kōbō Abe, Seiji Ozawa, Ryu Murakami, Taro Okamoto, Kishin Shinoyama, and Hiroshi "Monsieur" Kamayatsu, who eventually became her first record producer.

Alfa Music, the publishing company to which she belonged early her in career (later to become a full-fledged record label in 1977), was founded by people who were regular customers at Chianti.

Her nickname "Yuming" was given to her by Sy Chen (シー・ユー・チェン), a Chinese bassist she had a crush on when she was 13 years old. She began her music career when she was still young. At the age of 14, she worked as a musician for the first time. Having worked as a studio musician, she also wrote many original songs. When she was 17 years old, her first original song titled "Ai wa Totsuzen ni" was released. It was sung by Katsumi Kahashi, the former guitarist of the influential 1960s Japanese band The Tigers.

In April 1972, Arai entered Tama Art University. At the same time, she signed with then-publishing company Alfa as a music artist. At first, she wanted to be a songwriter. However, the founder of the publishing company, Kunihiko Murai, encouraged her to work as a singer-songwriter.

Early career; works as Yumi Arai

On July 5, 1972, Arai released her debut single "Henji wa Iranai". It was produced by Hiroshi "Monsieur" Kamayatsu, the former vocalist of The Spiders. Released by Toshiba EMI, the label to which she would be affiliated and release all her albums throughout her career, under its Liberty sublabel (with Alfa acting as publishing company), her first single sold only 300 copies. (It would later feature in re-recorded form on her debut LP, Hikō-ki Gumo.)

She recorded her first full album, Hikō-ki Gumo, with the band Caramel Mama, better known as Tin Pan Alley, which consisted of Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, Tateo Hayashi and Masataka Matsutoya, and it was released by Toshiba EMI under its Express sublabel in November 1973; the title track (and lead-off track) was later used as the theme song for the movie The Wind Rises (2013). For her next album, MISSLIM, (1974), Masataka Matsutoya, who was the keyboardist of Tin Pan Alley, arranged all of her songs. Her third studio album, Cobalt Hour (1975), features her early famous song "Sotsugyō Shashin". The same year, it was covered by the chorus group Hi-Fi Set (who also performed on the original song) on their first album with the same name. That cover version also succeeded as a single. In later years, it was covered by many Japanese artists and became one of Japan's classic pop songs. The same year, the male folk duo BanBan recorded her song "Ichigo Hakusho o Mou Ichido" and reached number one on the Oricon chart. Because of the commercial success of other artists, she became famous as a songwriter.

Yumi achieved moderate success with her fifth single, Rouge no Dengon ("Rouge Message"), an up-tempo song considered to be a proto J-Pop classic. She gained a television appearance singing this song with the top Japanese girl group of the time, Candies, and the song has been covered by a number of artists over the years.

Her first top hit as a singer-songwriter was her sixth single "Ano Hi ni Kaeritai". In August 1975, it was used as the theme song for the TBS TV drama Katei no Himitsu. Two months later, it was released as a single and reached the top of the Oricon chart. The 14th Moon (1976), her final album as Yumi Arai, featured Leland Sklar on bass and Mike Baird on drums. Since this album, Masataka Matsutoya has produced all her albums himself. She considers her nickname "Yuming" to also mean the name of the union with her husband. Following the success with "Ano Hi ni Kaeritai", it became her first album to reach number one on the Oricon chart. Besides, in the end of the year chart in 1976, three of her albums (Cobalt Hour, Yuming Brand, and Hikō-ki Gumo) ranked in the top 10.

 Four years after her debut, she dominated the Japanese album charts. This astonishing record has never been broken by anyone since.

In 1989, her fifth single, "Rouge no Dengon" (from her third album), and third single, "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumaretanara" (the version used was from her second album), were featured as the theme songs of the film Kiki's Delivery Service. Nowadays, those tunes are known as her early notable songs.

Some of her songs were deeply influenced by many American and European musicians, such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King. As a pioneering singer-songwriter who mixed Western culture and Japanese pop, she left a strong impression on Japanese popular music.

Works as Yumi Matsutoya

After marrying Masataka Matsutoya on November 29, 1976, she had considered retirement. But eventually she decided to continue to work as a musician, performing under her married name. In 1978, her memorable first album as Yumi Matsutoya, entitled Benisuzume was released. In the late 1970s and early 80s, she released two albums every year. However, those albums were less successful than the ones she released when she was single. Nevertheless, she wrote several of her well-known songs during those years, and her albums reached the top 10 on the Oricon chart.

Before the release of Benisuzume, a compilation named Album was released by Toshiba EMI. It mainly contained songs she had released as Yumi Arai, and two songs released as singles only. Matsutoya didn't want to release this compilation; in her autobiography released in 1982, she writes about this album and calls it "The biggest stain on my music career."

 Because of this, she never allowed the release of another compilation album until 1998. However, her ex-record-label-and-publishing-company Alfa Records had, after 1977 (when Alfa finally established itself as an independent record label), released many compilations which consisted of her old tunes without her permission. Hence, in the late 1990s, she bought the copyrights of all her songs that she had written under her maiden name; helping in this decision was the fact that Toshiba EMI had by then regained control, in 1994, of the Alfa catalogue, including the albums released by Toshiba EMI while Alfa was still a publishing company, thus her early catalogue being spared of Alfa's 2001 sale to Sony after Alfa faced financial difficulties.

Her tenth album, Surf and Snow (1980), changed the negative tide for her. When the album was released, it did not sell as well as others had previously. However, in 1986, "Koibito ga Santa Claus" became popular as the theme song for the hit movie ''Take Me out to the Snowland [jp] (私をスキーに連れてって, Watashi wo Ski ni Tsuretette.) （1987）. The album eventually sold over 400,000 copies. In 1981, she returned to the top of Japanese pop music. Her husband wrote the score for the movie Nerawareta Gakuen, which was directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi and distributed by Kadokawa Pictures. She wrote "Mamotte Agetai" as the theme song for the movie. The single of this song reached number two on Oricon and sold nearly 700,000 copies. Following the success of the single, her eleventh album Sakuban Oaishimasho (1981) became her second number one album. From that year through 1997, 17 consecutive studio albums she released reached number one on the Oricon charts.

Ian Martin of The Japan Times wrote in 2016, "At the same time she was contributing to Matsuda's record-breaking run of No. 1 hit singles, Matsutoya’s own work retained an almost militant focus on albums, and the balance she struck between commercial success and artistic integrity is a source of inspiration to many aspiring musicians."

In 1982, she published an autobiography, Rouge no Dengon. In this book, she wrote about her life in an exaggerated style. She contemplated doing the artwork on her own albums. The artwork of the album Sakuban Oaishimasho (1981) was designed by Hipgnosis, and the video Compartment was produced by Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey Powell and Peter Christopherson. A logo design from the latter film also became the logo of "Yuming", and was used as the cover of the 1984 album No Side. Aubrey Powell and Richard Evans of Hipgnosis also designed the cover of the 1983 album "Voyager". Since the 1970s, she has also been famous as an artist who performs in concerts using gorgeous and novel sets. She used elaborate visual technology on the stage and it is said that they cost over a hundred million yen. She has released two live albums and several videos. In 1986, she released her first live album, Yuming Visualive DA-DI-DA,. It was released on CD and cassette tape only, and it became one of the rarest items among her fans for many years
