Between Guns and Roses

The Black Shadow II Mission

The stocky man named Bob, he is a businessman who is a competitor of Black Shadow clients.

"Hurry and open that door!" snapped Takagawa.

The iron door was the door of a safe, where Bob kept his company's valuable papers and important files.

Because he felt very scared, Bob also tried to get up slowly. Although his body still feels pain after just receiving a fairly slumped kick on his back.

Slowly he walked towards the iron door, then pressed the numbers on the button beside the door.

Before long the door was open, a room the size of a bedroom that contained only a box. The cube-shaped and black box is seen in the corner of the room.

Takagawa then walked in slowly while looking and observing the inside of the room, while Marcello just waited outside as if not interested in following his partner.

There was nothing unique in the room, it was just that Takagawa remained vigilant. He remains alert if there is a trap deliberately set by Bob.

Dor's!

Suddenly there was the sound of gunfire that shocked Takagawa, a sound that came from outside the room. But he ignored it, then opened a black box that allegedly contained what he needed.

Outside the safe room, Bob was seen crouching while grimacing in pain.

"You're trying to get away from us?" marcello said casually as he walked over to Bob who was roaring in pain.

Bob did intend to escape when he saw the attention of the two masked men distracted by the contents of his safe. But it turned out that the assumption was wrong, Marcello still remained focused and managed to shoot his left leg.

"Mister," he whined while holding his bullet-pierced left leg.

Marcello did not reply, he just walked over to Bob casually.

"Hey!" shout Takagawa.

"Leave him! We've found what we're looking for" he added, standing by the door.

Marcello turned his head for a moment towards Takagawa, as if he did not care about what his partner said.

Bruaks!

Marcello landed a kick right into the bottom of Bob's chin. The man fell down and roared in pain.

"Alas Mister," whined Bob who tried to ask for mercy on Marcello. But Marcello did not want to answer, he then approached and squatted near Bob's head. With a furious feeling, he then placed the tip of the gun right on the thick man's head.

Bob who was still in pain could only close his eyes, he only resignedly accepted the fate that would befall him. He also did not expect that today would be his last day to see the world.

Meanwhile Takagawa has managed to get the box out of Bob's safe, then take it out of the room.

"Hey! What should we do with him?" marcello asked Takagawa, who was seen walking out with the box.

"Stop it! Don't leave witnesses!" takagawa replied flatly, without turning a single bit towards Marcello.

Dor's!

Without further ado, one shot of Marcello made it through Bob's skull, leaving the stocky man dead for a moment, without screeching or screaming. Fresh red blood flowed profusely down the floor, like a dam that had just been broken into.

After cleaning his pistol, Marcello got up and followed Takagawa. He quickly chases Takagawa, who first gets outside the house.

Then the two of them boarded his car and drove quickly to leave Bob's house and return to headquarters.

A few moments later...

Pablo was seen sitting leisurely in the backyard of the Black Shadow headquarters, looking at the moon while enjoying a puff of tobacco smoke.

Suddenly came a man who was his men walking over.

"Report boss!" the man said to Pablo while bowing his body in salute.

Pablo turned his head for a moment towards the man, then sucked back his cigarette.

"They have returned" the man replied in haste.

"Who?" Pablo asked again as if he did not care and considered the reports of his men were not very important.

"Takagawa-san and Marcello," the man replied briefly.

Pablo who heard the report looked a small smile.

"All right, I'll be there" Pablo replied briefly.

The man who reported it only gave a small nod, then left Pablo who was still staring at the night sky which was filled with stars.

After throwing away the rest of his cigarettes, he then rushed to his room to meet his men who had just finished the mission.

For Pablo, those two people are very important at the moment. In addition to having been his right-hand man, Takagawa and Marcello can also work well together and never argue. Whatever he commanded them, they were always obedient and well done.

Not long after he arrived at his office. Takagawa and Marcello were sitting side by side waiting for him.

Upon seeing Pablo's arrival, the two men immediately stood up and saluted.

"Good night boss!" greet Marcello while nodding the body followed by Takagawa.

Pablo simply smiled back at the greeting of his men, then sat in his great chair.

"How was your mission today?" pablo asked open the conversation.

Marcello then took the box that he had kept under his seat.

"Please boss!" he said as he placed the box on the table in front of Pablo.

Pablo then opened and checked the contents.

"Hmm," he muttered softly as he looked at the pile of paper inside the box.

"I don't know for sure about the file in question, but let me save it first until our client comes to retrieve it" he explained.

Takagawa and Marcello just nodded in understanding.

"You rest, may tomorrow they come to confirm the order" Pablo said.

The two men then say goodbye while bowing their bodies, then leave the room leaving Pablo who is still checking the contents of the box.

"These files look important" he murmured as he read through the sheets of paper he took out of the box.

"Hopefully this is what they mean, I don't want to waste time on trivial missions like this" he murmured again.

After that he re-cleansed all the files and put them back in the box.

After making sure everything was safe, he walked out of his room. His mind calmed down as the second mission he gave Takagawa yielded positive results.

"Other times I'll talk to Kenjiro to make Takagawa a part of Black Shadow" he said softly, smiling with a grin.

From the beginning, Pablo was intent on persuading the Yakuza members to become part of his organization. However, he could not do it without an agreement with Kenjiro. Although they are former team-mates, it is still not an easy matter to bring the best people in the Yakuza into his right hand.

Will Pablo be able to find a replacement for the previous flagship duo who were killed horribly by Antonio? Or forever he only wishes in wishful thinking?
