Alright, chapter 3's here, amigos! And more excited than ever, with new projects on the making.

You (the GTA loving crowd) most likely have noticed that I deleted the other GTA fic. Sorry if you're pissed. But I am already busy working on that new reboot.

Well, let's get down to business, any reviews are welcome. Enjoy!


South Bohan

The streets of South Bohan were still dark, as it was being accompanied by the flickering red and blue lights that kept the neighborhood awake.

What kept them awake? It was the Liberty City Police Department that was doing that, with their police cruisers having closed down everything from San Quentin to Attica, to Galmer and Switch, they've closed the whole block down with police officers doing a search.

What caused them to close the whole area up? That answer had laid right in the middle of Hollowback Street, where a park was parked in the middle of the road.

The car was a silver rusty sedan Emperor that now was filled with numerous bullet holes and shattered glass surrounding around it, with the shotgun door seen hanging open.

Inside the Emperor the scene was bloodier, with in the driver seat, a young black male seen with multiple bullet exit wounds coming from his torso and the head that happened to lay against the steering wheel, with blood splattered across the steering wheel and on the radio and even on the cup holders, that showed how grim the driver's death came to be.

But it was the body that laid next to the car that caught the most attention - as it appears to be that the 2nd victim had tried to escape the hail of bullet fire that was unleashed on them - but failed to even get away from the car.

The fat body with the blood soaked coat, laying on the concrete street with his face laid on it, was one of Bohan's known players who had fallen to a gruesome fate - Maxwell Caughlin.

"Nasty way to go out." One of the homicide detectives stated while standing over the dead gangster. "What's the fatal shot?"

"Coroner said shot to the head." The 2nd detective pointed at several points. "Two shots in the back, one in the shoulder and two point-blank, execution style."

"Damn. I wonder who did this."

The police chopper was then seen flying over South Bohan with its search lights on for the search for anything suspicious in the area - Having already dispatched multiple police cruisers around the area to try to track down the shooter.

"Just Crooks killing crooks."

This killing was going to get some attention the next morning.


Next noon

Broker

*BEEP!*

*BEEP!*

*BEEP!*

Waking up from the loud annoying clock sound, Niko's eyes began to open slowly.

"Ugh….Damn that alarm."

The clock ended with his hand slamming on the alarm clock to turn it off, allowing Niko to get up in peace as he then stood up from the bed he lied in, as it was perhaps one in worse shape than the beds he used to sleep on in the past decade.

Having slept through the night in the same attire he just came off the boat with, the newly arrived Serb went on to take his shoes on and knotted them before then standing up. Starting his first day in the Land of Opportunity.

"Good afternoon."

Niko's head shot up when he heard that, and by his surprise he saw someone in the kitchen - it was that Naruto guy, one of Roman's drivers who happened to live underneath.

Sitting at the kitchen table, Naruto had changed his attire, now seen wearing a black unzipped jacket with orange markings that he wore with an white shirt, a pair of cargo pants with sneakers.

"I guessed that you were pretty hungry for some real food after a long journey." Naruto smiled, pulling himself a bit of water from the bottle. "So go ahead, enjoy."

Having actually taken the time to prepare for lunch as he had a loaf of bread and coffee. It was the first prepared meal that the recently arrived Niko had seen.

Hesitant at first, the Bellic cousin took upon his offer and decided to approach the table, seeing that the choice of food was a bit excessive, with butter, jam, honey and others that went with it.

Naruto saw the look Niko was giving to what was on the table.

"Something wrong?"

"Was this in Roman's kitchen?"

"No, of course not, got it all from the local markets just an hour ago." Naruto said, knowing fully well Roman doesn't keep anything else in the fridge except some beers and an often expired milk carton. "So dig in, it's my treat."

"Thanks." Niko sat down as he saw that a cup of coffee was already prepared for him. "You have been awake long?"

"I did my morning run and got this, so for an hour or so." Naruto said as he finished up his own coffee as he then pulled out from the microwave a small unopened cup. "For now, I'm planning to go back to the depot."

"You some kind of workaholic or something?" Niko raised a question. "Aren't you supposed to have a day off?"

Opening up the cup, the insides of it was filled with Ramen, as a small warm breath of air came out as it was warm enough, Naruto then was seen pulling out a pair of chopsticks that came out of nowhere.

"What can I say?" Naruto couldn't help but chuckle. "I just love driving around the city."


Later

A small-time later, it was then that business was up and running at Bellic Enterprises, with in the office Mallorie being busy working on the computer as Roman was busy arguing with some guy over the radio.

"Come on, big guy - either do some work or get out of here." Roman told his driver. "We don't need jokers."

"Screw you."

"Screw you!" Roman shouted, but then quickly turned back to Mallorie to resume a conversation he was having with her. "Baby... when I look into your eyes, it means something-"

Mallorie knew where this was going and laid down her work to turn to Roman and listened.

"I see little Romans, I see little Mallories." Her eyes rolling couldn't be clearer as Roman continued. "I see little Romans, I see little Mallories, I see stars, I see angels. In my homeland we have a saying-"

"Yeah, we got one too." The guy over the radio responded. "You're a fag!"

Roman forgot that he left it on, was forced to hear the laughter from the responder before he threw the comm aside.

"Shit…"

Mallorie however couldn't help but laugh and told him. "Jesus, Roman, you fuckin' idiota. How can I take you seriously?"

"Very difficult, I think…" Niko said, making his entrance as he greeted. "Hello Roman-"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Roman laughed, jumping out of his chair and walking around the desk and began. "Mallorie, this is my cousin I tell you about, Niko."

"Hello."

"Hi."

"Niko, this is Mallorie, the beautiful girl I tell you about." Roman introduced her to his cousin excitedly. "See? Not everything I told you was bullshit."

"I bet most of it was." Mallorie hinted as she stood up and properly greeted him. "I hope you're less full of shit than your cousin over here."

Niko smiled at her and accepted the hand he shook, seeing she indeed was a pretty woman Roman talked about in his emails, of which he by now knows he had a huge interest in.

"Thank you."

"This is the woman I am going to marry." Roman told his cousin, very confidently.

"Huh! Whatever you say." Mallorie rolled her eyes again with a chuckle before she noticed. "Say, Niko, did you come here alone?"

"No-"

"I thought you were going to marry me, baby?" The person in the thick accent saying that, was a balding slightly bearded big man.

Mallorie greeted him nicely. "Hey, Vlad."

"Hey... Vlad... great!" Roman said to him with his attempted laugh. "You're fuckin' crazy, man."

Noticing the abrupt change, Niko clearly saw that his cousin was nervous around this guy, and by the looks of it. It was a no-good situation.

"You should lose a few pounds - otherwise this beautiful lady is going to leave you." Vlad motioned as he had the eyes focused on Mallorie, clearly trying to flirt with her - right in front of the man who is in a relationship with her.

Niko knew immediately what kind of person this man could be - he only needed some confirmation.

" I know... I'm a fat prick, what can I do?" Roman tried to say.

"Pay your debts?" Vlad stated, clearly a reminder to something.

That alone, confirmed a suspicion that pretty much convinced the now very silent but observant Niko, who just was continuing to watch this from the sidelines.

"I... I will do man." Roman promised as he tried to be friendly. "We spoke of this-"

"No, we didn't speak." Vlad stated, clearly showing to be agitated at Roman. "You spoke then you say your phone out of batteries. You treat me like a bitch."

"Never! I'd treat you like an idiot, not a bitch, eh?" Roman stated, still trying to act it up in a friendly manner of joking, only that seem to have backfired.

"I guess it's true…"

As Vlad started to be more intimate with Mallorie, by even touching lightly holding her chin up as she didn't mind, clearly sending a message at this point.

"The beautiful women do like the guys with the funny sense of humor." He said turning to Roman with an empty-attempted laugh to mock him. "Ho ho, I'm laughing."

At this point, Niko was openly glaring at this person, to which it wouldn't go unnoticed…

"He'll get your money, Vlad."

Niko felt a hand planted on his shoulder as he saw Naruto then walking past him, gaining everyone's attention as the young blonde entered the office.

The first looks were from both Mallorie out of concern, and Roman who was growing steadily nervous. Vlad, for a split second, recognized the young taxi driver.

The tension could be felt in the room before Vlad could feel the glare of two people on him. Both Naruto and Niko were glaring at him.

"I see that my welcome has been overstayed, so I'll take my quo to leave now." Vlad said, taking it easy before turning to Roman. "You're a lucky man, Roman. You should thank your little yellow friend for that."

"Sure, sure." Roman said to try to calm the tension down. "Like I said, I'll get the money."

"I know. And Roman…" Vlad began. "Tell this fucking yokel here if he doesn't stop staring at me, I'll have his head chopped off and put a film of it on the internet!" Vlad snarled kicking a trashcan around before making his way out of the cab depot.

Once that little outburst was over, the temperature inside the room became normal again, with Mallorie being the first.

"Ouch…"

Roman then, tried to bring back the positivity from early on and said. "Ah... all good... great…"

"Hah! Yeah, fantastic!" Mallorie commented with a flare of sarcasm. "Look, say what you like, but at least that guy knows how to speak to a lady."

Naruto gave a look to Mallorie's comment, as this was unusual for her.

Saying that at the end like a lesson, Mallorie went back to work on her computer. Much to Roman's clearly displeasure as he turned back to his cousin.

"Yes, he's all charm." Roman spoke before walking over to Niko. "Come on, Niko. let's go."

"Well, I'l go back home." Naruto said starting to walk out-

"Oh, Naruto, mind staying for a moment?" Mallorie asked while holding her hand out. "If you want to."

Stopping in his tracks, Naruto nudges his head and walks over to the desk. "Sure."

"Anyway, Darling." Roman spoke as he took his cousin with him. "I'll see you later. I've got to take my cousin around some more, get him settled…"

"Sure, later."

"Later, darling." Roman said and before he left, added. "Oh, Naruto…thank you."

Naruto smiled. "Sure, no problem. Always happy to help out a friend."

"That I know, but don't worry, I'll owe you one." Roman assured him as he left the office. "See you later."

Both Bellic cousins were seen leaving the office. With Naruto and Mallorie being left as the only two people in the office.

They saw the car they were in driving off, leaving Naruto to then shake his head in disappointment.

"There he goes… Getting himself into more debt with this week's earnings."

"As usual, M." Naruto said groaning before turning to his friend. "Anyway, you said you wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Ah, yes." Mallorie was glad to turn to another subject. "I wanna ask you about the last readings of all the cars' mileage, and I saw yours had gained a bite more yesterday. Mind telling me?"

Knowing what Mallorie was talking about, he forgot to update the mileage numbers he had filled in yesterday before the docks.

"Ah yeah. Forgot to add." Naruto began. "Remember I was there at the docks yesterday?"

"Yeah, to pick up his cousin Niko, I remember." Mallorie replied.

"Well, Roman came in with another car, half-drunk if I might add." Naruto told her. "So he picked up his cousin, and two women coming from the same boat as him asked me for a drive, both having different destinations."

Mallorie now understood. "Oh, where to then?"

"One to Cerveza Heights, and another I needed to drop off at Bohan." Naruto told her, leaving out the direct addressed. "Last one was in South Bohan, to be fair. After that, I stuck around for a smoke."

"A smoke?"

"You know which one…" Naruto said, not even needing to mention what he smokes, as he had no secrets to her or Roman about it.

"Ah yes, that…" Mallorie mentally reminded herself before getting back on topic. "Hope it helps you at night."

"It does, no worry about it."

*Triiiing!*

The phone went off and it was Mallorie who picked it up and answered it.

"Bellic Enterprises, what can I help you with?" She answered with the regular question for in case a customer. "A need of a ride. Yeah, we can do that."

Naruto told her then. "I'll take my leave then, go back home-"

"Hold it." Mallorie held her hand up against Naruto as she then grabbed for a pencil and wrote down the location. "And you say that you wanted a specific driver? Can you give me a specific name?"

It then happens that she was confused by the answer as she looked up to Naruto, who then gave her an raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, he's here. Standing in front of me. And you want him to pick you up?" Mallorie asked for confirmation and nodded when she got an answer. "Right, I'll tell him. Thank you."

Mall dropped the phone back, just when Naruto sighs.

"Sorry, Naruto, but I gotta ask-"

"No need to be." Naruto said as he grabbed the keys of his ride from the wall. "Tell me where the fare is."

"Thanks, appreciate it." Mallorie gave him the written paper. "She's waiting for you at Rotterdam Hill, across the fire station."

"I'll know where it is." Naruto said accepting the paper before he then made his own way out. "See you later, M."

"Bye, have a nice day." Once when Mallorie was left off alone again, it happened to be her personal phone went off buzzing inside her pants, and she picked it up and answered.

"Hi Michelle, what's up?"


With Niko and Roman

With Niko at the wheel, he was sitting in his cousin's cab, parked outside some hardware store in some place up in Dillon Street in Schottler.

Waiting outside the hardware shop - he came to realize his cousin actually wasn't here for the store that was abandoned and closed down, but for rather the backroom - an backroom where illegal card games were being held.

"Still the same, Roman. You with your gambling debt…" Niko rubbed his face as he should've seen this coming from a mile away. "And these loan sharks also? I wonder how many people you're in debt to here."

The loan sharks that he mentioned were the supposed ones Roman told him to watch out for - as he indeed told him that he was into some debt with some people whose patience has been tested for way too long and were eager to go on the collect hour.

So instead of going inside the card game, Niko was waiting outside on instruction of Roman, being on watch-duty for supposedly a couple of Albanian hoodlums who he was owing money too. Given the fact not only Roman was in debt to multiple different hoodlums, some happened to be from the small corner of Europe also.

In short, Serbs and Albanians, and a dispute was in the middle? Never a good end.

And then it happened - coming from a crossroad, a beige Willard sedan was seen turning up and driving right past the black Esperanto, and just for a split moment - Niko made them.

"And this must be the loan sharks."

The Willard parked right on the opposite side of the street, with then the two occupants of the car seen coming out from it, with the passenger side being a man in a white and brown tracksuit.

The other, was in a dark jacket and a jeans pants, but the most noticeable thing about him was he walking weirdly, as he was seen dragging his right leg as if he had trouble walking on it.

"Bellic must be in there. Now's our chance." The loan shark with the limp said.

By this, Niko already then pulled up his latest present: a cellphone, given by Roman, as he went to his number and had already had him on fast-dial.

*Triiiing*

The two loan sharks were seen crossing the road, oblivious to Niko's presence in the car as they reached the hardware store.

*Triiiing*

And then he answered. Just in time.

"Cousin - two guys are going in the store." Niko warned him. "I think they are the loan sharks you speak of."

"Shit, I'm down."

The two Albanians then entered through the door. Having now gone into the store.

Niko hurried him. "You better get out of there."

"Alright, alright I'm coming."

Just then when the loan sharks had entered the hardware store - another door could be heard slamming right open from the back of a alleyway.

Roman was seen running up the car after having gone through the back door and was rushing for the car.

"Shit, Niko, it's them, they must have been told I was here." Roman said, having rushed inside the passenger seat, just as Niko turned the engine on.

BANG!

The front door of the hardware door was slammed open, with the two loan sharks spotting Roman in the black cab.

"Shit!" Roman cursed. "Cousin, move!"

Not needing to be told twice, Niko puts the pedal to the metal and drove off, just passing by the two angered Albanians with one of them heard yelling.

"You are in much trouble, Bellic!"

The two loan sharks were seen running, for the limp guy hopping, to the Willard, in hope to catch the indebted Bellic.

Once they did, they tried to follow the Serbian cousins, much to no avail as with Niko's driving - the chase soon would be done before it even began.


Rotterdam Hill

With no radio on, Naruto's drive to the small middle-class neighborhood, as his cab stopped right at the opposite side of the local firehouse station that was open.

Waiting inside the car, he looked around and then spotted his fare:

It was the same woman he picked up yesterday from the boat, Konan, in that same coat as she was sitting on a bench, reading some literature as she had that same look on her face.

*Horn!*

Her face rose up, and she saw the cab driver that she called for, with the driver she knew from yesterday.

"Called for me?" Naruto asked. "If you're going to be my regular, hop in, ma'am."

Closing her book and standing up, her clicking heels walked over to the black cab and opened the back passenger door so she could enter it.

"Where to?"

"Where you dropped my friend off in South Bohan." Konan said settling herself in with her seatbelt on. "The Projects on San Quentin."

"On it."

Naruto nodded as he putted in the coordinates and began to use the route he used yesterday. Leaving Rotterdam Hill. Making their way to the East Borough Bridge.


Meanwhile

After a half hour drive, the Black Esperanto that Niko was driving, was making its way back to the cab depot. After having just lost their Albanian chasers.

"Do you think they saw me?" Roman asked, a bit stressed as he looked back. "I mean, did we lose them?"

Niko couldn't help but then respond in a laughable manner. "Of course they saw you. I mean… you're a very distinctive man Roman."

Luckily for him, Roman was in a bit of the same mood and responded calmly and relaxed.

"That is why the ladies love me. Fuck those shylocks, they'll get their money. They just have to wait."

"We should stand up to them. Where is your pride?" Niko suggested. "They don't look tough."

The car entered Hove Beach and was close to getting back to the depot, with Roman having to respond to his cousin's suggestion.

"Niko, you're new. You don't understand the way things work." He replied. "As much as I'd love to not see these Albanian hoods again, I rather not have them pissed off even more then they already are."

"Already?" Niko asked confused. "What do you mean?"

Roman, knowing better to not keep secrets from his cousin, he then told him. "You noticed one of those loan sharks was walking funny?"

"Yeah, the one in the jacket." Niko remembered the guy's clothing. "What about him?"

"That's Dardan, he's the leader of the bunch that I owe some money too, and he's pissed." Roman said, bringing up. "That limping leg of his, well, I heard he got into a nasty confrontation with someone over some money in a fighting club. And lately he's been going around collecting any debt he could find with his crew. Presumably to try to hunt down the guy."

"And you're high on his list of collection, I suppose?" Niko spoke, figuring out. "How much do you owe them anyway?"

"That's not the point. It's the fact Dardan is not to be messed with right now in his mindset. Especially when he's angry." Roman warned him. "I am more worried about Vlad and those damn Russians, they're the real trouble for now."

"Thanks for pointing that out."

It then happened to be that they arrive back at the Cab depot. Parking near the entrance.

Roman released a sigh of relief. "We're here. You like your phone? Maybe one day you get a premium quality one, like mine. Then you will have really made it."

Lightening the mood up, Niko only responded. "I can only wish."

"See you later, cousin." Roman bad him goodbye, patting him on the back before leaving the cab. Only for him to enter the building.

Leaving Niko to drive off somewhere with the car, even when it was on shift.


With Naruto

While on their way, the drive itself was quiet, even with the radio turned off. Konan began to take notice of what was in the driver's car, the things she didn't see yesterday.

Including the portrait, of what looked like to be his family: mother, father, son and daughter. To which she could see they were a happy family.

"Your parents?"

Naruto hearing that, knew she was referring to the family picture, and only found it right to respond to it.

"Yeah. that's them."

"From when?" Konan asked, clearing herself. "I mean when was it taken?"

Looking back at the picture, the old memory popped up and brought a smile to his face.

A genuine one that even she noticed was…brightening

"Simpler times, back in 99." Naruto responded while focused on the road. "When everything looked perfectly."

They nearly reached the end of the bridge and were close to entering South Bohan.

This time, it was Naruto to ask a question and noticed the bags under her eyes that were visible.

"You been up all night?"

Konan nodded. "Yeah, working."

"What do you do?" Naruto asked. "Of course, if you're willing to say it."

Silent for a moment, it was when Konan's night came into her vision.

"Well…"

Flashback

"State your name."

"Konan." Konan said. "And yes I am clearly legal."

Sitting on a black leather couch in a nondescript office. Konan rolled her eyes at the cliché setup. Her employers wanted to see what she was made of, and this was their idea of a test.

Yes, make no illusions, where she was right now was no dumb college movie stuff. This was an adult shoot, and Konan was attending her long appointed meet now.

Having planned this ever since she left Japan on the boat, this was only made possible because of a past connection she had made with a counterpart in the business.

In her sensually unzipping her coat to reveal a custom-made tight navy-blue top that gave exposure to a lot of her gorgeous skin pretty much spoke up that she was no lost girl. Defined delicate back, beautiful side view of her exceptional mounds, and four piercings aligning over her belly button.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

The interviewer's eyes were feasting. Almost ashamed of how much of a nervous wreck he was acting in front of her, unable to control his erection that swelled noticeably under his chinos.

The interviewer on his desk, nervous, swiping the sweat away before he finally spoke.

"You know. I think you're quite gorgeous…you'll do quite well…"

Konan on the couch, confidently crossing her legs, smoothly caressing her thighs. Stoicily responded to him.

"Look, don't try the sweet talk. I was on the boat for several months… And I'd rather see if you're up to the task."

That pretty much didn't do help much to calm the nervous-wrecked man, as he understandably was in a room with the infamous 'Konan Stoic' from Japan, the woman who never showed much emotion.

Luckily for her, that alone and her body, was an attractive feature that got her popular in some adult movie loving circles. And the fact she now was in the US for this work, was a golden opportunity.

"Did you think I was being all too easy?" Konan asked, still not showing much emotion. "Answer me."

The guy doing this 'interview' was clearly new in doing this, and he was realizing she could tell. She let off as she had already put her boot down, being the more authoritative person in this room, as her personality clearly showed.

"Well, I could use a fuck. So drop those pants and show me what you got."

….

He was ready to meet his angel.

He did not need instructions on what to do next as he started to remove his pants, the clink of his belt buckle before moved, down went his pants and his underwear.

"Here it is!"

He removed his underpants and showed his pride…

Referring it like that, Konan looked down to the 'interviewer's' parts, and it was clearly at this point:

She was…not amused. And that unemotional face…did not change.

'He's average at least.' She thought as she stared at it. 'Considering how feverish he going, definitely a virgin.'

She decided to test that theory, and leaned forwards over the desk and showed off her impressive bust that got the man's attention clearly.

"First time?"

"I-I"

"Then show me what you got….and I'll do you a favor."


[One Hour later]

Outside in the casting room, where several sets were being made with different themes: that of a college class, a bedroom, a kitchen and even that of a garage.

This was the local studio that was established in Rotterdam Hill. One of the many sites where one of Liberty City's most fine and classic commodities were being shot: Pornography.

The business, was 100% a legit…on front that is, with it meeting all the licenses, contracting, building payments and its merchandise being sold into exclusive adult stores, but that didn't mean it was all clear.

That can be best exemplified with the presence of one woman who's sitting on a chair next to the door outside the casting room where Konan's 'interview' was taking place.

She was an Chinese young woman, wearing a red traditional dress from her homeland that had red silk and a dragon on it, with her red lips and olive skin.

Her name was Ling Shan, who was affiliated with the group that provided 'security' to this studio, but also was someone who played a part or two in this industry in front of a few unreleased tapes.

*Click*

The sound of the door clicking made Ling turn to it and saw it was opening up. To see the first person to be walking out to be the interviewer.

"Fuck….fuck….fuck…."

Walking out funny, the interviewer held his crotch tight as he began stepping away from the casting room while having this genuine pleased grin on his face.

"So…worth it…."

As he walked off to get either water or for the best some medical help, Ling stood up and decided to walk into the casting room, where she sees the end result:

There stood Konan, barely covered with clothing as she was naked as the day she was born, with her voluptuous body showing some of the piercings she wore and the blue hair that still wasn't ruined, as she was rubbing herself dry with a towel.

"So…over already?" Ling asked, leaning against the door while smiling. "That only took a hour."

Konan faced the voice at the door and noticed who it was, giving her usual expression on her face.

"He only came twice, was exhausted after only ten minutes…amateur." Konan scoffed as she grabbed for her bra and top. "He asked me to wait fifty minutes before leaving, of course."

Ling chuckled at that as she could only understand her new colleague as she closed the door behind her to allow her some privacy. "Of course, very understandable."

Scoffing still, Konan had already put up her bra and top as she went and grabbed for her panties that she dropped on the desk.

"The fact I had to travel on a boat, from all the way from Japan to here, only to have this moron to stick his prick inside me for merely ten minutes, leaves me all the more disappointed." Konan stated, clearly ticked off about this.

"Oh, come on, it's not all bad." Ling smiled at her. "Where's that smile of yours when you was being introduced to the crew?"

Konan puts her panties up, that clearly ended up on her well watchable booty that even caught Ling's eyes.

"You know that's just a fake-smile to begin with, and I don't do this for the fun - it's for the money."

"Money that you know, only is worth your reputation." Ling told her. "Especially with the face and time you have to put in - but you know better, you've been in this business for years. Konan Stoic."

Konan, back in Japan at least, had been in the adult movie industry for quite a while now, almost a decade to be exact. Having done dozens of movies in her career, she was a well known figure in the Japanese porn industry.

Well, of the underground industry part, at least.

"Well, mind coming to the editing room with me?" Ling asked her to come along. "The director wanted to talk to you and she's got a few questions lined up for you."

Having herself fully clothed, Konan now was back in her normal gear as she planned to clean herself up later and was just going to use the clean towel in the room.

"Sure, I got time." Konan said, wiping her face clean from the sweat. "And did you say the director is a she?"

"Yep, it's run by me."

The two women turned to the door to see someone standing there, having entered the room without making much of a sound. Looking at both at the women with a smile that was a mile wide, especially when her light-brown eyes peered towards Konan.

She was quite young, Konan could tell just by the youthful exuberance she was displaying. As she had no care for personal space, checking Konan out without a care, admiring her assets and even dared peeked under the curtains.

How brazen.

In turn Konan checked the director back, for her body rivaled her own if not surpassed her in other departments. The intellectual woman wondered if Anko was a pornstar turned director, but she couldn't recall her name in the industry. She found that odd, because despite the beige tracksuit jacket she wore it did nothing to hide her very much impressive bust. Her orange yoga pants didn't fare any better as all they did was expose her defined legs, her well shaped rump, and the outline of her thong.

Konan to say the least was impressed by Anko's natural beauty. Despite not trying as she lazily grabbed her elastic hair tie from her pocket and fanned her violet hair into a ponytail. She then grabbed her paper bag and pulled out some dangos, devouring three of them in go. No shame under the company she was present too.

She smiled as she took another bite from her Dango and introduced herself.

"Hi, name's Anko Mitarashi. Nice to meet you. Konan Stoic." Anko welcomed her as she made sure to introduce herself properly to the little celeb she was meeting. "It will be nice to see you go into action."

The energetic sphere that the purple haired woman was giving, made Konan to be wary of her, for now at least. She decided to extend her hand.

"Likewise."

Both women shook hands, with the later one unable to contain her laughter and making a wild comment.

"I'll be honest with you," Anko said with her tongue flickering like a snake. "I can't wait to try to break that face of yours in the new movies we're going to make."

Anko raised her eyebrow in suspicion and asked. "What movies?"

"From a very well known novel series that's just about to come out. Fresh from Japan."

For some reason, this worried Konan internally for all the reasons she could think of.

'Of course…'

That night, her career was at the point of expanding.

End Flashback

Konan responded then with caution to the cab driver. Not needing him or many other people to know what her line of work was, as he didn't seem to know who she is, it would work to her advantage.

"I happen to be in the makings of a discrete project."

Hearing that, Naruto knew she was not going to answer further and let that by where she wanted it.

"Alright then, as you wish." He said and then seeing. "We're here."

The cab turned up just outside the projects, and just as he parked, he felt a hand reach over his shoulder - with a wad of cash.

"That should be enough to cover you." Konan said, handing it over to him as she got out of the car and walked up to his window. "...Thank you, for helping me and my friend."

Naruto checked the cash and turned back to the bluenette and nodded. "You're welcome. Just doing my job."

"I've got your company's number still." Konan told him. "Maybe I'll call you again. I'm in need of a discrete driver, if you know what I mean."

Not needing to figure out what she meant by, Naruto didn't seem to find it much of a problem and nodded his head.

"Sure, I don't see no problem there." He responded. "Send my regards to Fu if you see her."

"I will."

The car began pulling back as it was going off back to the road, as Konan made her way to the apartment complex, both seen splitting ways.

This of course, won't be the last time they'd be seeing each other.


Back on the road, Naruto was making his way back to Broker, having luckily given over a hundred bucks for the fare. He now was making his back to the East Borough Bridge where the line was less busy than it was yesterday.

As he awaited for his turn, it happened then to be that another toll booth was open, and just then next to him, a couple of cars were seen driving by.

A gray Futo was seen slowing up next to his car, and the driver was seen holding a cigarette that was burning - a closer look showed it was an Eastern European. Albanian to be exact as he wore a red-white tracksuit with messy black hair.

The Albanian drove past, not having noticed Naruto, he paid his toll and drove past the booth. Leaving Naruto to wait for his turn in the queue.

"I'm gonna need to sleep for a bit."

Once he finally reached the booth, he paid his toll and drove off. Having every intention of sleeping these past two days off.


Few hours later

Naruto's place

In the basement of Roman's apartment, normally nobody would live in it. But somebody did.

Laying on a collapsible bed, Naruto was seen sleeping in a short blanket and a pillow as he was only a few meters away from the barely working boiler that was the only thing that kept his ass from freezing in this rats' place.

Laid in an specific way, in his attire he didn't change from, next to Naruto laid a hand-distance away some protection: a nine millimeter Glock pistol, fully loaded and ready. For any circumstances.

He got his own clothes down here, with him regularly taking a shower upstairs, and a trashcan he often emptied with in it usually empty trash from food he would take home with him.

Next to that empty trashcan, laid some clothing, black ones. Recently washed, with gloves and so forth.

*Triiing!*

Naruto's eyes widen open, hearing that coming from his phone, he grabbed it and saw it was Roman, and by looking at the time, he pretty much could guess it was important.

"Yes?"

"I'm on my way." Naruto responded by getting up and taking his shoes on and grabbing his Glock pistol before running out of the basement and tugging it into the back of his shirt.

Going back to the cab depot.
