BIG CITY- A young woman was on her way home from a near by shopping center when she felt as though she was being followed. Her suspicions came to be try when she was chased down a dark alley by two masked men. "It was very scary", the woman said of her ordeal. She has asked to remain nameless to protect herself. The assailants were wrestling her to the ground when a voice came from the darkness. The voice was hard to understand but it was enough to stop her attacker in his tracks. "The was this man. He was dressed in a cape and some high rising pants. "

The woman can only remember little about the next few moments. The caped man fought off one of the men and the other one ran away in fear. "I was so scared of what was happening that I just ran. As I was running, another man came and joined the man in the cape." She ran into the arms of a visitor to our fair city. She quickly explained what had just happened. Kim Wan Hi, a native of Kyoto, Japan, ran into the alley and snapped a picture before the two mysterious figures left the scene. "I never got a chance to say `thank you'.", the young woman said.

The quick disappearance of the two men has raised questions in our city. Who are they? Will we see them again? Who do they work for? and Why the mystery?
