Shenmue: An Alternative Story
Chapter 10: Charlie Brown?
Hazuki Residence
Ryo is still in his room with his arms drawn to his chest and rocking back and forth slowly.
Knock knock.
Fuku-san then enters. " Ryo, it's been four days now, you gotta stop this."
Ryo doesn't respond.
" Look the only way your gonna get over this is to go back and face your fear."
Ryo falls off the bed.
" Ow. Maybe your right."
" Im always right."
" Whatever Fuck-u-san."
" Don't call me that."
" Now off to heart beats pub!"
Ryo then walks off in a rather strange manner.
Doubuita
Ryo is now standing just outside Heart beats pub.
" Ok, here it goes."
Ryo goes to go in but quickly jerks back.
" Ok this time."
Ryo goes to go in but quickly jerks back again.
Ryo looks at the door and this time runs st right in.
" Arrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh."
Thud. Ryo smashes into the door.
"Ryo" a female voice calls.
No response comes from Ryo
" Ryo"
Again, no response.
" Ryo!" The female shout, which get Ryo's attention.
" Wha... what."
" You must hurry Ryo."
" Oh it's you again."
" Hurry Ryo, your destiny awaits."
" Yeah, yeah, the high scores I know."
" NO! NOT THE HIGH SCORES! TO STOP LAN DI!"
" Wh."
" DON'T EVEN SAY WHO IS HE, HE KILLED YOUR FATHER."
" Oh yea. Bastard."
" You must hurry Ryo, the path on which we must meet won't be open for ever."
Ryo awakens to find that he is being dragged.
" I never thought we'd see him again." A male voice said
" Yea, make sure to use plenty of lube this time though." Another male voice said
This was enough for Ryo, he quickly freed his arms and got to his feet and quickly took out the two men with some kicks, then grabbed a third and threw him across the bar, smashing plenty of bottles which were on a shelf behind.
" Enough!" The bartender shouted, " Thats was some show boy!"
" I didn't come to put on a show, now tell me about the Chinese cartel."
" Fine, but you don't come here again."
" Fine."
" Look for a guy named Charlie."
" Charlie Brown?"
" No."
" Ah man, I've always wanted to him."
" He's not real you know."
" He is!" Ryo cried
" Not."
" Is."
" Not."
"Is."
" Not."
" Is."
" Is."
" Ha I knew it."
The bartender just shook his head
" About Charlie?"
" He's always going on about his hawg."
" His dog?"
" His hawg, you know a motorcycle."
" Oh."
" He also has a tattoo on his butt."
" His what?"
" Butt. He comes here a lot for some action."
" That's is im outta here, I've proven my point to Fuku-san."
" Tell Fuku-san I said hi."
Ryo didn't respond, instead just slammed the door on his way out.
" Now where am I gonna find Charlie?"
Well it seems that Ryo's quest could be back on the right track, but will this new lead help him? Who is Charlie? Is Charlie Brown really real?
Find out next time...maybe.
