Saturday 6:32 PM
Tai was standing at the taxi terminal, waiting for a taxi to come pick him up. He was already waiting for half an hour and was growing inpatient. Finally, a taxi pulled up beside him. "About time," he mumbled to himself. Tai saw that the taxi driver was a fat man who was well rounded. He had no hair on his head but he did have a thick dark mustache.
"Where will it be son?" The man asked.
"Could you take me here?" Tai asked while showing him the address that he had received.
The taxi driver dropped Tai off at the address that was given to him. He looked up at the building and was amazed at how it looked. It looked so beautiful from the outside, Tai couldn't wait to get in. He paid the taxi driver and made his way into the building.
Tai's apartment was on the top floor. When the elevator stopped, he walked towards his apartment door that was located at the end of the hall. He noticed that his was the only door on the floor. A little bit confused, Tai opened the door to his new apartment. When he opened the door his jaw dropped.
The apartment was completely furnished and full of stuff. It looked as if it was professionally designed. It even had all of the latest stuff inside and it was huge. Computer. Big screen TV. DVD Player. A Huge living room and kitchen. Tai thought 'I could definitely get used to this.'
Suddenly, the TV screen turned on and a man's face appeared on the screen. "You must be agent Yagami?" Tai just stared at the TV for a while and then found his voice to speak. "Y-yes sir" he said with a respectful bow. "Could you please state your number and ID?" "I am agent 435, Yagami Taichi." Tai said. "And I am your new superior, General Yoshiwara. You will be put to work right away, so expect a call anytime soon." "Yes sir." Tai said with another bow. "Wait how did you know that I was here? Were you watching me or something?" Tai said a little paranoid. "No, no, nothing like that son." The man said with a little bit of laughter. "Actually, I've been doing this every five minutes for the past hour, I'm just glad that you are finally here. Welcome to Odaiba," the man, said with a smile. "Thank you sir." Tai said one last time, and then the TV went blank.
Tai's stomach started to growl. He hadn't realized how hungry he was. He skipped breakfast on the plane and was starving. He walked over to the fridge to search for some food. Nothing. He looked inside the cupboards, completely empty. "How is a guy supposed to get full without any food?" he said to himself. "Well I suppose I have no choice but to go out and buy some I guess." Tai brought his wallet and a light jacket and made his way out onto the streets of Odaiba.
Tai decided that he would just walk and familiarize himself with the area and hopefully find a decent place to eat at the same time. He stopped in front of a sushi bar and decided to eat there. After his meal, he decided to look for a grocery store to stalk up on supplies. He kept on walking looking left and right, but had no such luck. Then he heard a cry for help.
"Help!" a lady's voice called out from an ally way. Tai's feet just started to move in the direction of the voice without even thinking. "Help!" the lady's voice screamed again. When Tai turned the corner, he saw a bunch of thugs surrounding a woman in her late twenties.
Tai ran into the ally and rammed into one of the thugs. There were three all together. 'I can take them on' Tai thought. A smirk grew on Tai's lips as he started to charge towards another one of the men. "Don't you know it's impolite to touch woman without permission? Tai said sarcastically while throwing punches and kicks at the men. After a long fight two of the men were knocked out cold. Tai was panting from exhaustion but was determined to finish the fight.
"You." He pointed to the woman who was watching from the ground. "Go get the police." She nodded and ran.
With the woman gone, Tai had less to worry about and could concentrate more on the fight. "You're a tough one aren't you?" The thug said to Tai as they circled around like vultures. "You shouldn't have asked her to get the police, cause now I will have to kill you." The thug announced evilly. "I'm sorry but I can't let that happen." Tai said. The thug then pulled out a knife and lunged at Tai. The knife got Tai in the arm and he let out a gasp of pain but kept on going. He pulled the knife out of his arm and threw it far away. He then went behind the thug and pounded on his back as hard as he could and the thug was finally down. Tai ran away from the scene so that the police wouldn't question him.
