Chapter Forty-Three: Devil's Bargain:
Before those three days…
Katsumi raised an eyebrow. “What are ya saying,
sir?”
Aiguo passed the couple a photo. “I'm looking for this
key.” Miki tilted her head.
“A baby?” she asked.
“Yes,” the man said.
“She's your daughter?” Katsumi asked.
“You can say that. I really need her back,” Aiguo said.
“She's really important to me.”
“So… where is she?” Katsumi asked.
“My people are searching for her right now. They last tracked
her near an abandoned area neat the old parliament
building.”
Miki gave him an odd look. “So… What do you need from
us?”
Aiguo broke into a grin. “Oh… Just kill some people for
me.” The couple's eyes lit up. The boss smirked. Heh, I
knew that would get their attention.
“Who do we kill?” Katsumi asked.
“Anyone you like,” Aiguo said.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“By any way?”
“Yes.”
“Whoa!” Katsumi turned to his girlfriend. “You
hear that?”
Miki nodded. “Yes.” Her eyes shifted towards Aiguo.
“What's the catch?”
“No catch.”
She folded her arms across her chest. “I don't believe
you.”
“Baby?” Katsumi asked. Miki waved him off.
“I mean it!” she said. “Nobody offers something
for nothing.”
“Ah, smart girl,” Aiguo said. “I just want the
baby back. Think about it. We both benefit from this deal. You get
to kill people and I get my baby back. What do you say?” Miki
snorted.
“We'll see!” she said. Katsumi put his hand on her
shoulder.
“Baby,” he whispered. Katsumi turned his attention back
to Aiguo.
“Excuse us for a minute,” he said. Aiguo bowed his
head.
“Sure,” the boss said. Katsumi took Miki by the arm and
led her outside the café.

“What the hell, Miki?” Katsumi asked outside the
café. Miki folded her arms across her chest.
“I don't trust him!” she shouted.
“I don't either.”
His girlfriend snorted. “Could've fooled me!”
“Look, this will be temporary. We just need to go along with
this until we rob him blind. It will only be for a short
time.” He frowned as she rolled her eyes.
“Just go with me on this,” Katsumi insisted.
“This job won't take too long. Just go with me on
this.”
Miki narrowed her eyes. “You're not bull-shitting me, are
you?”
Her boyfriend grabbed her by the hands. “I haven't been and I
won't start now.”
“Maybe… Only if you say it.”
Katsumi smiled and dropped his shoulders. “I love
you.”
Miki kissed him on the bridge of his nose. “Done. I love you
too.”
“Thanks,” her boyfriend said. He led her back into the
café.

Aiguo looked up when he heard the couple return to their table. He
lowered his glass.
“Well?” he asked. Katsumi pressed his hand on the
table.
“We're in,” he said. “When can we
start?”
Aiguo smiled. “Good. Let's begin.”
