PART SIX
Aya spotted the dark haired young man removing the heating grate first, and then Omi crawling out of it. He left the bench to start to approach them, but didn't want to do anything that might seem suspicious, or that might put Omi in danger. Still, he had to do something. "What's going on?" He asked.
The dark haired one turned to him, took a moment to catch his breath from the sexy spectacle that was Aya, and then answered, "This new one is trying to escape from Mr. Tannai."
"Mr. Tannai?" Now things were getting interesting.
"Yes, but I've talked him out of it." Then, turning to Omi, "I hear Mr. Tannai is a great customer, he's very attractive."
Omi only looked at the floor, and then sheepishly up at the leader of Weiss. He had really wished no one would have to see him in those clothes! And he had been so close to cracking the computer.
"Do me a favor, handsome," The young man said to Aya, gently pushing Omi forward, "And return him to Tannai's room where he belongs. I've got my hands full with my own customer, but you seem to have yours under control. Take care of this kid, OK?" And with one last glance at those violet eyes, the dark haired boy who had caught Omi began to saunter off.
"Wait." Aya caught him by the wrist, "Which room?"
"Excuse me?"
"Which room is Tannai's?"
"The usual. The one decorated all in animal skins…"

After telling Youji everything he knew about the other regulars, the formerly feminine customer began to wonder just what kind of worker Youji really was. "All of this has been… interesting… but can we get back to…?"
"The courtyard." Youji thought out loud. He had to get to the courtyard. Maybe from there he would be able to find the others. And he needed to find them – fast. Not only did his customer know who Tannai was – he also knew his first name, and if Omi hadn't been able to crack into the computer system yet, this might be just the piece of information they needed. The only problem was how was he supposed to get away from his customer?
"As much as I like the idea of doing it in public, I had something else in mind." He said, holding out another little surprise – this time it was a pair of handcuffs.
"Perfect."

"Mr. Tannai?" Reiji sat up in the bed. "You're new, so where did you hear of him?"
"Well, he's a well-known regular here, isn't he?"
Reiji looked Ken up and down. Now wearing nothing but the tight pants, Ken was even more of a beauty. Yes, he had chosen well.
"Do you know him?" Ken asked again.
"Yes, I do. But believe me, he's not someone you'd want to meet."
"You're wrong."

Omi and Aya didn't even need to ask around to see which room was the one decorated all in animal skins – Omi remembered from the map which room it was – the one where Ken had been taken.
"So Ken's customer is Tannai." Aya said, "Where's Youji? We've got to get to Ken, fast."
But Just as Omi was about to tell Aya the location of Youji's room, the tall sexy assassin himself came running up.
"I know Mr. Tannai's first name." He said, without even giving the other
two a chance to speak. "It's Reiji."
