Riding in Jotaro’s car Eizan is currently sweating bullets. He was racing through his thoughts trying to think of a way to convince her father not to be angry. Jotaro sighed “Don’t worry I’m not angry.”

Eizan breathed a sigh of relief. “So, I guess your wanting to reprimand me for taking your daughter to a concert.”

Jotaro gave him a small glance. “You’re very perceptive.”

Eizan let out a small laugh. “Kagami said the same thing.”

“Does Kagami know?” Eizan nodded. “Was she angry?”

“She wasn’t happy.”

Jotaro sighed. “I was hoping she didn’t find out.”

Eizan giggled. “She said the same thing about you.”

Jotaro burst out laughing. “We must have been married for too long. We are starting to think alike.”

“She was of course angry that I brought your daughter to a dangerous place. I can assure you though, that night club is one of the safest. It would be a lie to say it was completely safe though. But, what place is?”

Jotaro nodded. “Is this something you do often?”

Eizan nodded. “It was at one time.”

“That implies that it’s not something you do now.”

Eizan laughed. “You’re very perceptive.”

“I have been told that from time to time. Can I assume you won’t be doing things like that often?”

Eizan nodded. “That was the last show I intend to play. At that time in my life, I was looking for an outlet. Playing in a band helped me get through some things.”

“We all have our rebellious faze. I did too, when I was younger. In a way I would be a complete hypocrite to reprimand you.”

Eizan nodded. “I can assure you that it’s not likely to happen any time soon.”

Jotaro nodded. “Thank you.” Jotaro drove a few more minutes before talking again. “How are you and my daughter getting along?”

“We’re doing well enough that I intend to go through with the engagement.”

Jotaro hummed. “Mmm. I’m glad to hear it. Please treat her well.”

Eizan smiled. “I fully intend too.”

Jotaro looked at Eizan angrily. “You better or else.” Eizan stiffened up. He was fairly sure he could take her father in hand-to-hand combat. But guns to exist. Even if the are hard to get in Japan. Jotaro burst into laughter. “I’ve always wanted to say that.”

Eizan sighed. “Please don’t do that to me.”

Jotaro gave him a funny look. “I think you’re confusing something. I meant what I said. I just don’t think you would do something bad to my daughter on purpose.”

“Your right about that. I’m completely in love with her after all.”

Jotaro raised an eyebrow at this statement. “That’s good to here.” Jotaro’s car slowed as it pulled up in front of his work. “let’s talk again when you get some time. I would like to get to know you better.”

Eizan nodded. “Same. Have a good day Mr. Sakurai.”

Jotaro nodded and Eizan left the vehicle to go inside his work. Jotaro sighed as he walked away. “I just didn’t have the heart to reprimand him. It’s troublesome that Kagami knows of this incident. If they make another mistake, she may not let them stay together.”

A few hours later, inside a nice office across town Carter was flipping through documents. He had just received a call from his future granddaughter in law and was in a good mood. He hit an intercom button on his desk. “Alicia, please come here for a moment.”

A gorgeous blonde woman entered the office. “What can I do for you Mr. Carter.”

Carter had to stop himself from ogling her. He had hired her because of her qualifications but having eye candy around wasn’t bad either. He just wished he was thirty years younger. “I found you a new assistant. In fact, you know her already. She only lives a floor above you in fact.”

Alicia frowned. “I was hoping for someone a little more qualified.”

Carter laughed. “I think she will do fine. I can’t see my grandson picking someone that isn’t intelligent. In fact, her test scores are very high in school.”

Alicia was cursing Carter at this moment in her head. She already had to spy on the young couple every day anyways. Carter even got her access to the cameras in the lobby so she could see them coming and going. Plus, now she was given a roommate. While she didn’t mind the idea why did it have to be a man. He left at weird hours and smoked which drove her a little crazy. At least she had convinced him to use the balcony. But now she had to deal with training a teen girl on top of all her other duties. Plus, it was a dream job for people to get to work under Carter. That young girl doesn’t have a clue about the hard work people have to put into getting a position at this company. She smiled a fake smile at Carter. “I will do my best to train her as my assistant.” She fully intended to be hard on her.

Carter laughed. He knew his assistant well and could tell what she was thinking. He had seen that fake smile many times. “Alicia, please be nice. I thought you would be happy to have an assistant. I can find another job for her If you like. But you will not be getting an assistant then.”

Alicia stiffened up. She really needed an assistant. “I will do my best.”

“Good. Saying that though. Please don’t go easy on her. I know your job is challenging and I hope in the future she becomes a big asset to you. Work her hard. We are paying her well, after all.”

Alicia nodded. “I will train her to the best of my abilities. I would also like a competent assistant.”

Mio let out a sneeze. She was dusting and cleaning the apartment. “It must be dustier in here than I thought.”

Across town Towa was sitting in his room talking to someone on the phone. “I want to do something about a boy called Hashimoto Eizan I heard you’re the man for the job.” He was happy he found out about this man while asking some of his new friends for some help. Towa had started hanging out with some rough characters lately and was often out late. His parent's were quite upset with him.

Sitting in the back room of a small bar was a slender looking man in a black suit. He was currently listening to Towa talk about a young man he would like disposed of. He put the cigarette he was smoking down in an ashtray. “This is going to cost you a lot. It’s not that easy to make someone disappear in this day in age.” They talked for a few minutes before he hung up the phone. The man picked up a glass of scotch from the table in front of him. “I wonder who this client is. He seems so young. But I guess it’s better to not ask questions in my line of work.” He looked down at his phone and was currently waiting for a wire transfer. He watched a substantial amount of money hit his bank account. He laughed. “He must really hate this Eizan fellow.”

Eizan was currently pulling a filter out of a piece of equipment. For some reason he kept sneezing over and over again. He wiped his nose with his sleeve. He looked at the filter in front of him curiously. “I wonder what’s in this filter. It’s making me sneeze like crazy.”

The man in the bar walked out of the back room and found a man sitting at the bar. He dropped a folder in front of the man. “I need you to find someone for me. Here is a list of things that we know about him. I want you to find out everything you can on the target.”

The man in the brown suit opened the folder and started laughing. He could see the name of a bow he often followed. He looked at the guy who just handed him the folder. “I’d advise you to drop this client if you don’t want to die.”

The tall slender man looked at him curiously. “Do you know this boy?”

The man in the brown suit laughed. “Very well. Let’s just say the people he is connected to are more powerful than you can imagine.” He paused for a few seconds and looked back at the small file. “I want the phone number of the person who called you.”

“You know I can’t do that.”

The man in the brown suit laughed. “Everything has a price. Plus, I’m sure he didn’t give his name. It’s safer for you to just give me the information.”

The man in the black suit sat down at the bar next to him and lit another cigarette. “Is this kid really that big of a deal.”

He laughed. “Let’s put it this way. If his family ordered me to kill you, I would.”

The man ordered a drink from the bartender. He was currently thanking the gods he didn’t get more involved in this matter.
