Just look around and see what was available here. In a Shinkansen there should be much more than in an ordinary, conventional train, because the tickets, were anything but cheap.

From Tokyo to Moriaka, Alex's ticket, cost between 11000 and 17000 yen, which would be the equivalent of about $82.55 to $127.58, depending on the current exchange rate. So it sounded relatively normal, but you just have to remember, as far as all prices were concerned, people here, earn differently and have a different income than in the States.

Her first thought was to go to the back first, to the last car, and then to the first, but since Alex didn't know where Mister Disaster had disappeared to and she had gotten into car two, she was missing in the front, just the first. Which, according to this, should be quick.

"How the hell....," Alex couldn't believe what she was seeing as she passed by Lemon and Tangerine and thanks to the sight, stopped at the quad, ".... did you guys do that?"

"We didn't do that," Lemon defended himself and his brother as Alex continued to stare at the boy, "We found him that way."

"Just as well," Alex began nodding in confirmation until she noticed Tangerine's look he gave his brother, then stopped, "Now don't tell me he shouldn't look like he does, and you had to make sure that wasn't the case?"

"Something like that," Tangerine agreed, which was confirmation enough for Alex, "We're fucked."

"Minegishi Junior," Lemon beat the brunette to the punch, who had just gone out to ask who the boy was, and was now standing in the aisle in front of the table with her mouth half open, "Yep, it's the Minegishi's son."

"Really?", Alex echoed in an exaggerated tone that couldn't be more sarcastic, "And I thought there was another one. Wow, the Minegishi. I.... sorry, I'm just not cut out for this. The head of the yakuza wants you to look after his son and now here, on a train, a closed and moving space, he's dying in front of you. That's.... already sucks."

"Thank you Alex," Tangerine was heard in the same tone of voice Alex started with, "I'm glad you told us this because without you, I would have thought everything was great."

Now there were two things Alex knew more about. First, why Lemon and Tangerine were on the train to look after the yakuza chief's son, which neither had done well, and second, that they were both supposed to be transporting a suitcase that had gone missing from them and presumably, also belonged to Minegishi.

Why were these two still among the best?
