Sorry this one is short so i'm posting the next chapter as well.
Chapter four- Yakuza
Kono flicked through picture after picture on the smart screen, jotting down notes as she went. She had been to see Max early that morning to see the bodies of Kaleo and Kinzy. She almost hadn't been surprised to see that the two men were yakuza, the tattoos on their arms giving them away. I knew they were tugging on their sleeves. She had taken her photos and was currently uploading them studying them in detail.
"Hey cuz you're here early today" Chin said chirpily.
"Hmm Max called me" Kono mumbled her mind occupied.
"Why didn't he call Steve?" Chin asked curiously.
"Err he said he didn't answer, I guess he went on one of his morning hikes." Kono theorised.
"Sounds like him, so what did Max want?"
"Take a look" Kono said as she swiped the screen bringing up a larger photo of the tattoos.
"Yakuza" Chin confirmed.
"Exactly, these were found on our perps Kinzy and Kaleo." Kono explained.
"So the yakuza are in business with Wo Fat" Chin observed.
"Well yes cuz, it's no secret they've had dealings with him in the past but to become so involved with something this big it just seems off" Kono said.
"Your right Wo Fat must be offering something big" Chin concluded.
"I agree we should call Steve…" Kono began as Danny stormed through the doors his face filled with concern.
"Danny?" Chin questioned as Danny held his phone out waving his hands.
The team gathered around the table and listened.
"So as you know your leader is not with you…and that would be because he's here with me" Wo Fat said dryly.
Kono hurried to trace the call finding it once again successful…Wo Fat wanted them to find his location.
"I'll expect you shortly" Wo Fat said slyly.
"I got him" Kono informed although it was clear.
The team approached the warehouse like area with caution the guns drawn and their spidey senses working overtime. Chin took the lead as he ran across to the wooden door, Kono following then Danny bringing up the rear. Voices could be heard from inside, a worrying amount suggesting the team were outnumbered. Chin stood slowly and changed position, he kicked the door down and made room for Kono to run through her aim on point as she shot the first three men she approached with ease each to slow to even get one shot out. Danny and Chin ran in after kicking the guns away and following Kono's lead as she approached the next room shooting it open and punching a beefy guy that approached before ducking allowing Chin to aim a shot through his chest. Six men now faced off against three as the team took cover, shooting out from behind barrels and stocks of wood. A groan of pain from Danny alerted Kono that he had been caught by a bullet as it had grazed his shoulder.
"Danny!" Kono called.
"I'm good!" He replied as he took up his shooting once more.
Two of the men were killed by Chin's shots and Kono took the opportunity to run from her spot firing rounds continuously successfully catching another two men. Kono rolled to take cover from a shot fired by one of the men left standing. The bullet missing her by millimetres. From where she crouched she could see a narrow hallway potentially leading to their leader and Wo Fat. Kono signalled to the guys and ran off down the hall firing behind her so she wouldn't get caught off guard. Once she reached the end she turned the corner with caution.
The hall was dark and wet, rain dripping from a leaking roof. She tentatively continued her path the shots from her cousin and Danny ringing in the distance. She knew they would catch her up but for now she needed to find Steve. She came across a door that was left ajar, groaning could be heard from inside. She pushed the door slowly, the creak louder than she wished. When she entered she came across a spindly staircase. She took it two steps at a time, her hand firmly trained on her gun as she climbed with care. At the top it opened to a cold dark loft area with a small broken window. The sounds of groaning was now louder and Kono flicked on her torch to look around. She gaped as she saw a recorder playing the sounds of someone in pain on repeat. She felt herself break out in a cold sweat as a sense of fear built. She looked around rapidly trying to determine if she was alone. It seemed she was alone at that moment and ran to the window watching as a group of Yakuza hauled Chin, Danny and a battered Steve towards a truck and throwing them all in the back.
