DAY 3: CHAPTER 7: The Kenji Casino

So we left for Kenji's. I didn't drive - Asuka did, as it was her Yakuza Stinger.

We left the dead guard of Asuka's in the tub. No cleaning up blood, as it looked like tomato sauce from a pizza after we moved a pizza box near it.

Soon after we had reached Kenji's Casino. There was a lot of protection inside, but rarely any outside. From the outside the cops couldn't tell if it was a gang-run place, but inside the of the casino showed the truth: That this was THE Yakuza hideout.

When we went inside I saw Kenji again. He punched me in the shoulder like a friend would do, calmly.

"Hey Jake-o!"

"Hey Kenji. How's Yakuza goin'?"

"That's not your business, shithead. Anyways, we got this kid Maria gave us. He's gonna kill some mafia folk but I was making sure you weren't there, okay?"

"Yeah, sure. Thanks."

"Listen, I need you to do me a favor. If you don't do it, fine; but if you do you get this place for protection and you also get a Yakuza alliance."

"Look - I don't need your help. I don't want your help. I want this guy of Maria's dead. I'm not with the Mafia anymore but my sole mission now is to kill this guy."

"Why?"

Why. Why? because this guy treated Maria badly. This guy was a cold-blooded killer, a living Goodfella, a Bruce Willis anti-hero. I needed him dead. It was like he took all of what I wanted to be and became it without saying a word - literally. I wasn't going to say that to Kenji, but I was going to say something.

"I'm gonna kill him 'cause he deserves it. I don't want your help but I am gonna take it 'cause my apartment has a dead guy, a pool of blood, no guns or ammo, and no vehicles. It's no good. I'll take your offer but don't expect me to do you any real big favors. Now what's this favor of your's?"

I bet Kenji didn't want me to do anything big; and if he did, than I probably just lost it."

"I want you to kill this kid once we're done with him."

I didn't know why. I didn't care why. I just thanked god.

I wasn't the only one who wanted him dead.
