The sound of the phone ringing abruptly broke the silence in Lagoon Company Headquarters. Dutch quickly rose from his seat to answer it. After speaking for a few moments, he turned to Josef, gesturing for him to come over and pick up the phone.

"It's Ronnie 'The Jaws'.Says he has a job for you", Dutch explained, handing him the phone.

"A teacher has...assaulted my niece and my brother has put a contract on him. And I want you to take care of it", Ronnie said.

"Why me?", Josef asked.

"I've heard that you're involved with those "tank schools" and you know your way around it. I'll pay you seven G's. You interested?"

"Yes, I am. When am I heading out?" Josef asked.

"Today. I'm sending a couple of guys to bring you to the airport. They'll give you the details. And one more thing: this guy is...a big deal in some way. My contact with the feds say he's involved with something big. Watch out for someone else trying to wack him."

Josef took the information in and nodded, taking his leave.

Three days later...

There was more preparation for this job than he anticipated, though there were many conveniences as well. He would be impersonating his younger brother, Wilfred, under the guise of visiting the school. He had very little contact with him do to safety reasons, but he did receive notifications about changes in his general whereabouts. He is scheduled to attend two semesters at the school and it seemed fitting that he'd visit it at some point.

In order to look more like him, he dyed his hair black and slicked it straight back just like his brother did on special (rather than parting it and combing it at an angle as he preferred himself), wore blue contacts, and altered his posture to seem as short as possible. Furthermore, since Wilfred is not a native English speaker and not as proficient in Japanese, Josef would elect to speak more choppy, and with a thicker German accent during the presentation.

On this day, Anzio was at port, making this entire trip much easier. An hour after arriving, he drove his handsome Italian set of wheels onto the massive elevator on the carrier's side. Josef explained why he was there. He was cleared and after a few seconds, was met with mechanical rumbling, the magnitude of which he had never heard before. No matter how many times he'd seen these school ships, he would never cease to be amazed by their sheer size.

It took a few minutes of navigating the many small streets of Anzio before arriving at the main building. Anchovy was not there to greet him. In fact, he came across hardly any students on his way over, and the ones he did see were heading away from the plaza. He parked the car out front and headed in.

He entered Anchovy's office to find her with her head laying down on her desk, clearly very saddened.

"Hello? My brother sent me here", said 'Wilfred'.

Anchovy quickly perked up in curiosity.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Josef's brother, Wilfred. I believe you know him as Takashi."

"So, you've found him?" Anchovy asked.

"No. That's...why I'm here. I have instructions for when he goes missing. Come with me."

Without a word, Anchovy got up from her desk and accompanied 'Wilfred' outside.

"His instructions were to gift you a new staff car and service pistol."

Anchovy loooked surprised and for the first time in a while, excited.

"A- A new staff car?" Anchovy asked.

"Yes", 'Wilfred' replied as they stepped outside. "A 1939 Fiat 2800. And as I mentioned, a service pistol as well."

He reached into the glove compartment and retrieved the gun with its belt and holster, handing it to her. It was a stainless steel Beretta Model 1935 chambered in .32 ACP.

"Now I apologize, but I must get going. It's nice to meet you", he said.

With that, Josef left in a hurry, heading for the teacher's house. He arrived a few minutes later to find the door unlocked. He didn't have a lot of time. The target will be arriving home from the school soon. Josef drew his suppressed P7K3 chambered for .22 LR and entered the bedroom only to be knocked down by an unknown man now standing over him with his gun drawn.

"Bond? Is that you?" Josef asked.

"What are you doing here?" Bond asked as he helped up the young man.

"I was sent here to kill the teacher who lives in this house", Josef replied.

"Me too. But I cannot allow you to interfere in this. Go back to your employer and tell him the contract has been completed."

"Will do."

Josef left the house and set off back to Roanapur while Bond waited for the teacher to arrive.
