Chapter Nine: Preparations
FATE agency building April twenty fourth 1927 10:55 AM; Garage
"Rider is my bike ready to be used?" Benji asks to the woman. "It is working fine why?" she asks curious as he approach her. "Because I have business to take care of and I need it." Benji replies. 'Too fast.' She thinks handing the keys to him. "Be careful Benji. We all will be rooting for you." She says to him. "Thanks. I will be careful." He replies. She hugs him for a short time.
"I will return later to pick my things we have a proper goodbye then." He says. "Okay. See you later and even after you leave pop by to visit." She replies. Benji nods and gets on his bike. He drives away with his destination as the Kanzaki family mansion.
Yokohama Kanzaki family mansion 12:00 PM; entrance gate
Benji drives thru the gate after it opens and waits until it is closed before driving to the front steps of the house; Akiko meets him on the entrance and escorts him to Sumire's office. Sumire smiled seeing Benji walking on her office. "I am glad to see you Mister Himura. I hope that you don't mind if we go straight to business." She says to him. "I don't mind at all. I came here to work not for leisure." He replies. Her smile get wider and he sits down facing Sumire that is on her wheelchair again.
Akiko leaves by Sumire's orders. "Why you quitted?" Sumire asks. "My former employer refused to help them. Said that my work was only to see if was fit for his daughter to go there." Benji answers in a serious tone. "He is right if you think about it. But I won't discuss that." Sumire commented. "You understand that you will be going against people that kill demons and people from important positions on the government?"
"I am aware of that already. But I can't leave those girls to suffer that." Benji replies. "Good. As long you know that and are aware of the risks." Sumire commented. Benji nods understanding he knows that he might get arrested branded as traitor or even die but he wasn't going to stop because of that.
Sumire opens a drawer of her desk and pulls a sheet of paper. "This is the contract that I had made in case that you decided to work for me. You will be hired as my personal secretary, bodyguard as well an important weapon tester for the Kanzaki industries. You will get paid twice as much as in your former work." Sumire says handing to him the contract.
"That is your official work. Your extra official work is to find a way to save my friends. And if possible doing that with out tarnishing our names and honor. I arranged to you get an imperial license to own, carry and use any kind of weapons that you might be holding." She continues. "That will make things a bit easier." He comments.
She nods agreeing. After reading the contract he signs it. "Okay to begin everything you will be using an apartment that I own in the company name. It is near of the theater and others important locations of the city. It is already furnished and ready to be used. In two floors bellow there is an office. It was an old detective agency office that bankrupted. You can use it as your main workstation." Sumire explains to Benji taking the contract.
"What devices you will need?" she asks. "I will make a written list." Benji replies. She nods understanding. "The tricky part will be getting inside the theater." He comments. "Not really, being my secretary on the paper means that in can send you to the theater in errands for me. Like giving to someone a little something and things like." Sumire replies with a smile.
"Resuming I would be your delivery boy to get inside." Benji commented. "Bull's eye." She replies. Benji nods understanding.
"Now this is very important." Sumire says in a serious tone. "Lock the door and shut the curtains for me okay?" Benji nods and obeys. After all he is her employee now. "Sit down again." She tells to him. He does so. "What I will show you is part of a warning." Sumire continues, while getting up and walking across the desk using it as support.
Facing Benji from a very small distance she looks down to him. "I want you to look closely." She says undoing her kimono sash. "Don't look away or say anything until I am done." She adds seeing Benji turning his eyes away, mostly likely respectfully trying to not see her nude form.
Benji swallows hard as the kimono sash falls on the floor. She opens her kimono and let it slide holding it only by her arms. Benji can see her white skin now clad only by a pair of simple white panties. But even before the nudity of Sumire's attractive body can catch his eyes a long furious red scar crossing her body on her height catches his eyes. It runs from her left shoulder down her breast, abdomen, and thigh until it ends one inch above her left knee.
"I lied to you when you asked me why I was in a wheelchair. I am using it because this wound. It is healing but if I am not careful it might leave permanent damages on body. I can live with a scar but not losing part of my mobility." Sumire says to him in a serious tone. Benji nods understanding. "I was attacked when I was leaving the theater after my last performance. Whoever attacked me used knife as a kruki knife. I managed to defend myself from the assassination attempt. But that person is still out there and is the main obstacle against you."
"Uhm?" Sumire squeals when feeling something soft and warm over her scar around her stomach. She looks down and her blush deepens seeing Benji lightly touching her scar. "Whoever did this to you did with a single blow. The control is something amazing. It seems that the wound have the same depth all over the length of it." He comments lightly running his fingers over the scar, while studying it.
Sumire blushes with the close scrutiny and the softness and gentleness of his touch while he feels the scar, for years most of her contact with males where violent and forceful. She can't help in enjoying the feeling. She recomposes herself. "As I said the person that did this to me was a pro. I only managed to escape because I am a master in my own art and used to combat." Sumire says. Benji nods and pulls his hand away.
Sumire adjusts her kimono and sash. "Today we will deal with the equipment that you will use. I hope that you don't mind in visiting the factory again. This time is to pick up whatever you want to." She comments. "I won't mind it at all." Benji replies with a small smile. She smiles back and makes a call.
Yokohama Kanzaki heavy arms industries 2:00 PM; depot 7
Sumire and Benji enter on another large depot of the compound. "Now that you already picked up all the electronic devices that you needed we will move to vehicles." She says as they pass by many large rooms. "Let's begin with a motorcycle." she says as they enter in one of the room.
Inside of the room there is a motorcycle. 1 "Damn!" Benji mutters seeing it. "The basic design is from an Indian as the one that you ride. We also made many alterations on the engine and added a supercharger increasing the power and speed of it. On the tests we got the top speed of 170km/h that is twice faster than the original motorcycle. And if I am not wrong around the speed that yours reach." Sumire explains rather proudly.
"Mine gets in 120km/h." Benji replies. "And that with all the alterations that the mechanic of the agency did to it." Sumire chuckled "It is not a bad mark." She comments. "Anyway we didn't only change the engine, the frame, added the supercharger and altered the other systems but we also added something that we are calling nitros."
"Nitros, what is that?" Benji asks curious. "I won't get in all the details to not take our time. But what it does is cool off the air before it enters on the combustion chamber, by doing that the air for lack of other term contracts as for example ice does, anyway it enters more air inside until it fills what has to be filled, so when it burns the cool air get over heated and return to its normal size inside the chamber and that increase the speed of the engine." Sumire explains to him.
"I see." He replies nodding understanding. "Added with the supercharger the speed reached with it must be insanely high." "Well it must be. We stills haven't tested with both of them working on the same time." Sumire replied rather embarrassed. "We can test later." Benji commented and she nods agreeing.
"I am planning in adding weapon racks on the sides of the engine to easy access when piloting it." Sumire says looking up to him. "I don't think that is that wise Miss Kanzaki." Benji replied. "Sumire." She cuts before he continues raising her free hand. "I already told you to call me Sumire. We might be chief and employee on the paper but we are accomplishes in the fight to rescue my friends. So let's leave the formality away."
Benji nods agreeing. She motions to him to continue. "As I was saying it might not be good to have racks there. I can't pilot it and shoot at the same time. If I take out two hands of the handlebar the bike will lose control and fall. Not to mention the factor of losing speed, if I am on the need to fire at someone for sure I will be in high speed in a pursue." Benji continues from where Sumire stopped him.
"I see, maybe we can work something out." Sumire commented. "Now let's move to a car." Benji nods and they move to another room. "………" Sumire smiles content seeing that Benji can't express himself or even react at the car in front of him 2. "Beautiful isn't it?" Sumire asks to him. Benji barely nods really absent minded to her words.
"We carefully designed that car to be aerodynamic. Unlike all the other cars produced on the past and present days. It can take four people, the main speed is of 170km/h and it also has a supercharger, a compressor and nitros." Sumire says to him in a content tone running her right hand over the car hood.
"It has jump suspension, good response to commands and few more things." She adds with a smile. "Still wasn't fully tested." "I know someone that would love to fully test it." Benji commented. "Well then call that person, if you like the performance you can use it as your car." Sumire says. Benji nods and picks the cell phone that Sumire gave to him earlier 3.
"Sakura? Do you mind in putting Rider on the line I have to speak with her?" Benji says when the line connects. "Sure." She replies cheerfully. "Rider? I want you to hear something." Benji says now inside the car. He starts it and accelerates the car. "Okay Benji you got me we…I mean you got my attention what is that and what I have to do to drive it?" she replies sounding very excited. "I am in Yokohama in the Kanzaki industries. Pop by now and you can get a long ride with this baby." He says accelerating it again. "I am going there now!" she shouts hanging up.
"You test pilot is coming." Benji says to Sumire while turning off and closing the phone. "That is good; I can see that you really didn't have trouble in convincing the person." Sumire replies with a smile. "I know how to get her interested." He replies killing the engine.
Yokohama Kanzaki heavy arms industries 2:47 PM; test road
Benji and Sumire watch while Rider drives the car pushing it to its extremes giving to the scientists and mechanics that designed it all the information that they needed about the car in high speeds. Benji is half heartily watching Rider driving; his mind is trying to find ways to help the hanagumi girls.
'Rape and blackmail in a secret group that works for the government to protect the city from demons. Exposure is not a viable option, direct fight is also troublesome, the victims are too scared or forced to stay in silence. It seems that I don't have anything on my side.' Benji thinks while his eyes follow the car. 'I got patronage now; A damn good patronage. Still isn't enough, equipment isn't enough."
Benji looks at Sumire; she is now sited in a chair with her walking cane across her lap. 'Sumire wants to rescue her friends but she doesn't tell me anything more useful to help them. I don't know if is the trauma, fear or shame, but whatever it is prevents me from getting more information about the theater and the dangers of this.' He thinks with his gaze turning from Sumire to the car where Rider is.
After twenty more minutes Rider stops the car and gives to the staff all her impressions of it. Sumire makes an offer to Rider to test more vehicles as they develop them, Rider gladly takes the deal. And Sumire shows to Rider the bike; after all since the pilot is there why not make her test more things.
Tsuki private detective office April twenty fifth 1927 8:34 AM; office
Benji finishes rearranging the last piece of furniture to his tastes. Benji sits on the comfortable leather chair behind the desk on what is now his new office. 'This place is big. Before the agency bankrupted it must have been quite big. Three offices, one lounge with space to many people wait comfortably plus the desk of a secretary, restroom and even a small bathroom with a shower here. Give me sometime and I might get used to this place.' Benji thinks looking at the phone on his desk.
Originally the office had chest of drawers for file cases in one wall, a shelf on the opposite wall; the desk is in front of a wall with a window facing the wall with the door. Now the file drawers are besides the window, the shelf is on the same place, the desk is now where the file drawers were far from the sight from the window.
There aren't pictures, certificates, paintings or any decoration on the walls other than the paint that is looking rather new. 'They must have repainted the walls before it closed. The carpet is also clean, not too fancy but still nice and stylish. The door is strong made of solid wood.'
Benji sighs recalling of his old office on the FATE agency. Used to work with others the loneliness of his new office bothers him. He is almost expecting to see Rin bursting thru the door as she usually does. Benji sighs again and shakes his head and the feelings away. He had decided to help the hanagumi and he wouldn't allow himself to not do it.
Benji begins to think in how to help the hanagumi girls. Sumire had ordered him to stay on the office during the morning while she finished making the arrangements to give him a reasonable amount of access to the theater.
"Benji you have to understand that you can't rely in people on this matter. We don't know in whom we can trust and who would sell us for money, rank, power and who knows what else." Sumire says to Benji while they are in her study. "I already figured that out. Police is out of limits. Thought I know that I can rely on my friends. But I don't want to get them involved with this." He replies in a serious tone.
"Still is better to not rely on them too. You should not make any written notes or reports. If there is anything that you need to write down make in a way that no one understands and you report only to me. If you can't speak with me don't report, even to my mother or Akiho." Sumire said in a serious tone to him. "Paper trails are dangerous."
Benji nods understanding he already knew that. "Also be careful with the unknown assassin that is lurking around to defend the secret. I am sure that you are a match for him but be ready to combat or he might kill you." Sumire added. Benji nods again. "I need information regarding your friends' skills. I am not sure if they will be willing to come and they might be ordered to fight or kill me." Benji replies. She nods and tells him all about the hanagumi combat skills.
Benji sighs recalling the conversation that he had with Sumire on the previous night. He adjusts the armor vest under his clothes, now more than ever he would need it. He looks to the shelf of his room; behind it has a door that leads to a smaller room that now it the armory. Sumire made sure to give him lots of weapons of many calibers and lots of ammo for each of them. "Enough to start a war." He mutters
Inside the armory it is stored many rifles, shotguns, pistols, grenades and even explosives to demolition. Benji didn't believe in overkill but Sumire's idea of healthy weapons stock was nearing the concept of overkill that Taiga keep shouting when Benji and Archer ordered a new weapon.
After many hours waiting Sumire finally calls and gives to Benji the green light to begin his work. Benji that is now wearing black suit, a black shirt and shoes closes the two top buttons of the shirt and picks a parcel over the desk. "It is time to work." He says leaving the office. The door of the lounge locks itself shut after he closes it and walks to his car.
