Chapter Eleven - A Carp On A Cutting Board.
A week later I found myself thinking about why I trusted Liem so much.
Liem omitted where this person for our group lived... I can see why as it was a very creepy area of town. We walked close together through the rain splattered alley. The neon lights above us cast a creepy glow over the piles of trash. I have a really bad feeling in this area of town.
"How are you doing Kiwi?" Liem smirks.
"I'm fine Lime." I smile.
"Wow really??" He whines.
"Hey I have to get you back somehow... Oh my word was that a rat?" I gasp.
Liem chuckles. We come up to a chain-link gate which he pulls open for me. The gate creaks open with an ear-splitting screech as we walk up to the back entrance of a squat grey bungalow.
Liem knocks on the door to be greeted by a less than cheery, Handsome, Japanese man.
"Hello I'm looking for Ren Sasaki." Liem smiles.
"I am he." 'Ren' says formally. He looks at us as if expecting a reason for us to be here.
"Mister Sasaki, we are here on business. May we speak inside?" I say. His eyes skim over me distrustfully. Finally after a long pause he nods and lets us follow us in. We follow him through the dingy house into, what i can best describe as a basement suite.
"So why are you here?" Ren addresses Liem.
"We are here to offer you a job in a group of ours." Liem explains. I roll my eyes. Ren's eyes flicker over to me.
"I'm sorry who is in charge here?" Ren asks. Liem opens his mouth but I cut him off.
"I am. My name is Keyland Jones, I have heard you once worked for my father."
"I knew I had seen you before. Your father spoke well of you...What is the job you have for me?"
"We are trying to take down an enemy of mine." I explain.
"I see, I'm very sorry miss but I don't not want to get involved with any more criminals. I just escaped one clan. I'm not eager to get into the clutches of another." Ren says gravely.
"Where did you escape?" I ask.
With a great sigh he sits down and shows us a very singular tattoo on his foot.
"The Black lotus had some partners in London. But they were terminated. A friend of mine was shot my a sniper... very messy." He says. He looks at me forlornly.
"Do you know a man by the name of Moriarty?" I ask.
His eyes widened and in one smooth motion he had Liem in a hold with a knife at his neck.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" I said holding my hands up.
"You know this Moriarty?!" Ren seethes.
"Unfortunately yes." I say.
"He has my sister..." Ren says his voice breaking.
