The air suddenly turned cold, as Ban Mido spat out a drool of saliva and stared at the door. The small bell over the door tinkled as a gloved hand opened the door to let himself in.
Natsumi bounced off the stool and quickly bowed deeply to the man standing at the door. "Welcome to the Honky Tonk Cafe, Sir." As she looked at the man's boots she recognised him. She, while bowing, turned her head to where Ginji was. He had leaped onto Ban Mido's neck as a chibi and was mouthing the words: "Its Jackal, Ban Its Dr. Jackal"
Ban stood up with Ginji on his neck. "Why are you here?"
Paul Wang said "Now dont go making an ass out of yourself twice in a day, Ban.
Mr. Akabane is here for some business. He needs something retrived"
Natsumi was behind the counter pouring Tea in three cups. Akabane Kuroudo was at his usual poise. Through his patent smile words seemed to slip out like velvet. "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I have a job that can only be completed by the Get-Backers. The refreshments will be on me. Shall we, Gentlemen?"
Ban Mido was a transformed man. For someone pointing an accusing finger a moment ago, He was bowing down to the man known as Doctor Jackal, escorting him to their table.
The three men sat the Getbackers table, their so called office.
"This will be an easy job. The reason I chose you, Apart from saving Ginji from starvation, Is that it was Ginji, my boy, who is responsible for the loss of the artefacts." Ban Mido punches Ginji in the head and screams apologise. "On contrary, If it were not for Ginji's quick wit and clumsiness, This job would not have been needed"
"I am sure you remember our encouter. You were to retrieve the Arms of Venus De Milo. And Mr Fouchhin and Mr. Shido the rest of the replica"
Ban Mido nodded and Ginji said "Yes!, We havent gone too see Hera and Kyte for a long time, Ban." Ban Mido gritted his teeth.
"Well, What I need you two to do is, retrieve exactly what you lost then"
Kuroudo Akabane paused a while. "Not exactly that, though.
I need you to retrieve, not The Arms, but the Replica of the Venus De Milo.
Its torso. From where you dropped it in the Ocean. Something that heavy must still be lying at the bottom of the ocean"
Doctor Jackal Finished his tea and Ginji and Ban chomped off their Chicken Sandwhiches.
