Chapter 4: The hitmen
Driving home at night while it was raining always give the old detective Kiryu a feeling of unease. Not because the road is blurry or the horrible weather, it's the sign of what's about to come. Every private eyes got these gut feelings in them which turn out to be true in the end. He knew that there was something bad coming to him but he doesn't what, when, where, who or how, he just knew it would come. Driving back to home he saw a sight that isn't good at all, three cars were parked in front of his house, no license plates and worst, the apartment's front door is wide open. Feeling something isn't good, he armed his M1911 pistol and ran to the front door of the apartment. He ducked behind the wall and peek inside, he saw a thug wearring Fedorah hat and brown trench coat, Kiryu sneaks behind him and silently choke the thug unconscious. Then he went upstair, he heard a loud scream of a middle aged woman, he knew it was his neighbor mrs Feeny, the caretaker to Anna while he's out in town. "Please! Don't kill me! I know nothing!" She screamed for help, kneeling on the ground and begging the thugs to let her go. When in all of a sudden, The goons got their necks snap from behind by Kiryu. "Are you okay mrs Feenie?" He asked, he help her back up on her feet as the old lady regain her nerve, she suddenly remember an important detail she must remind him of. "Don't worry about me! They're looking for the little girl!" She screamed out to him as Kiryu ran to the other apartment and knock down the door.
Inside, a pair of thugs turn around and saw Kiryu they hastily fired their weapons at him but none of their bullets, can make a dent on his armor. "My turn." He quickly aim his M1911 Pistol at the two thugs's heads and pull the trigger, instantly drop them at once. He franticly searches the apartment for Anna, calling her name as he searched her wardrobe, attic and anywhere that she can hide, but eventually he heard a sound of thud, it was close and judging by how the sound originated from his right, he turns to see and found Anna hiding underneath her bed. "Are you okay Anna? Are you hurt?" He helps her out of the bed and hold her up to inspect her injuries, he found nothing but some dirts on her face. "Thank god that you're alive, come on, let's pack your stuff, we need to get you to somewhere safe." He hurries and get some luggages for her, he grab some clothes from her wardrobes and some other bare neccessities, while Anna was packing her private belongings. "Where are we going?" She asked with a shy voice still a little shaken and scared by the experience she has just been through. "Somewhere safe, a friend of mind who can help. He'll protect with his own life just as much as i do." Kiryu quickly haul some of the luggages for Anna as she follows him behind, down the stairs they go and out into his car. He quickly fasten Anna's seatbelt, and drove away from his apartment. Going through the darken streets of Atlantic City, all the way to the outskirt, where the skyscrappers were gone, no more the scenes of large business buildings and offices, they came to a small settlement, a place where it has stone wall surrounds the houses within. A place where most commoners aren't meant to be, but Kiryu is a special case, he knew the owner of the this little Sicily very well, as a close friend infact. "All right, stay calm okay? Everything's gonna be find." He remind Anna who was wearring a red dress.
A guard came to Kiryu's driver seat asked what is his intention to come here at this kind of time. "Important business, call the don and tell him that his friend need a little help." The Don quickly welcome Kiryu and the little girl Anna into his home with open arms. Some moments later, Kiryu was informed by the don that the hitmen who struck his apartment were paid off cops, bent cops who were willing to take bribes and do favors for crime bosses of the city. And there was only one place for Kiryu to find reliable information, the "Sunset Strip" night club. A place filled with 30 fabulous show girls, the pin up girls, singers and dancers all for the entertainment of men. There was one show girl here Kiryu can trust to give hard concrete evidence and information. He went into the club, sitting down at a table and patiently wait for the show to start. "We now give you our greatest voice of the show, that cyber beauty queen, MechaGirain!" As the curtain parted, onstage was another Mechagodzilla who looks like Kiryu. But this was a female, due to her height, armor color, which was white with blue stripes on it, her eyes were two blue glowing gems shining at Kiryu's ember tinted optics. Her voice was sweet like angel, not synthesized or cybernetic, she was singing a blue melody on stage and walks over to the guests.
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
You're sitting down, wondering what it's all about
If you ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do
In just a blink of an eye, MechaGirain was standing right in front of Kiryu, face-to-face, she was starring down at his face as she sings her last tunes. She ran a claw on his chin, she gave some suggestive undertones for her performance. As the crowd claps their hands and praises the female mechagodzilla for her performance, Kiryu sits still and watches on as she disappears behind the curtain of the stage. He went behind the stage after the show, to find her hoping that if he finds her he will get some scoops of the night from her. But when he was coming to her room at around the hallway, he surrounded by a bunch of goons, one of them was as large as a Human sized King Kong. "hey there buddy boy. What's the rush? Let's have a little chit chat shall we." They took Kiryu to the alley behind the club and threw the bulky mech into a wall. "The boss says that he doesn't like being snooped by the cops. Especially you. So it's time to retired old man." They all jumps in and start a brawl with Kiryu in the alley, the goons brought knives and clubs to fray but they were soon beaten up by Kiryu, it was obvious that he was going to beat the goons up no problem but the large one was a challenge. The gigantic thug launches himself at Kiryu, who threw a garbage can at the thug's face. It dazed him for Kiryu to threw some punches and kicks at him. Enraged by Kiryu's attacks, the goon quickly grab Kiryu's neck and hold him up to squeeze, as Kiryu began to feel the pain of being crushed, the thug begins to smile at his opponent's pain. When suddenly, and without a warning, something knock him out from behind. The goon fell to the ground unconscious and drop Kiryu to the ground. It was MechaGirain who saved Kiryu, she hit the tension point on the goon's neck to knock him out. "Need a hand, handsome?" She helps Kiryu up, and he was thankful that she was there to help him. "Yeah thanks toots, you got some move back there alright. I'll give you that."
"I always hate these guys hanging around here. They never have...respect for my occupation." Girain lead Kiryu into her room for a private talk and a private show. She let him sit down on a fancy, soft sofa, MechaGirain then walks up to Kiryu in a seductive manner, her hips sway side to side. Although she doesn't have any racks to shine but her appearance to Kiryu was like the equivalent of a stripper to any patron. "So what do you want for the night? A private show? A little chit chat? Or both?" She asked him in lustful voice, she sits on his laps and caressing his head. "Both of them. I guess." He shivers and replied to her. "My, my, are you in a dire need tonight? So which one first?" Kiryu pulls himself together for a moment, he then concentrates on what MechaGirain knew of the patrons of the club, especially policeman, crime boss and other city officials. "Do you happens to know anyone of the city's big league? Policeman, the mayor, crime boss. The works." MechaGirain took a moment of silent, she was doing an imitation of a deep breath, then she fills in Kiryu's question. "You know, you aren't exactly the type of guy who is well informed in this town. The crime bosses of this city aren't out to get each other over some doses of drugs. You were all set up." Kiryu was suddenly shocked by her words, her claims were too far fetched for him to stomach. "What do you mean by that toots?" He questions her, "The mayor of this town wanted to have a successful second term since his last wasn't a resounding success like he had hoped for. So now he's going to make a new one to overshadowed his last. The plan is to filled the streets with some gangs and mob bosses to kill each other off, then he swoop in and stop them with a crackdown so hard that the east coast would propably vote him into the white house."
Kiryu was speechless at Girain's words but he knows that he needs evidence to be sure. And so he demanded for evidence, "That's some impressive scheme you cook up there. You have any evidence to back it up?" And MechaGirain calmly gives him photos of Mayor Wilson doing business with mob boss Don Louie Castagella, the Black Hand. "How do you get these pictures?" He asked. "I was playing patty cake for Wilson and Castagella for them to loose their tongues a little bit. You know me, gathering information has always been my hobby. Then i have a photographer to take those photos of them together as evidence exclusively for you." Kiryu then puts those photos and evidence inside his folders to keep them safe. "Now then, as for the promised i made." MechaGirain then went to a pole in front of Kiryu, she walks around the pole before she grabs it with her hands, then she dances up and down along the silver pole, shining her metallic body to Kiryu who was sitting and enoying the show and her sexy appearance. Then she walks over to Kiryu, her tail was dangling side to side, when she reaches him, she opens his legs apart and proceeds to sit on his lap, she then rub her muzzle with his like manner that is similar to a passionate kiss, then she gently rubs herself against him, the sounds of their moaning can be heard around the club. It was then that MechaGirain and Kiryu shares each other a passionate kiss as she continues her private show with him.
