Chasing Rumors, Part 3: Acquaintances of a Past Life

[hellcash]

Club Zodiac, 9:00PM. All of the rebellious teenagers sway on the dance floor to the music, creating a writhing mass of bodies. Strobe lights are going behind them, and the bar on the far wall is lit up by coils of flourescant lights

Katsuya gives the bartender a polite bow and thanks him before tugging at his red button up shirt and following Baofu toward the stairs. The cop is lacking his suit for this occasion. He's been dodging calls and visits from work all day. There hadn't been time to dress as well as he'd have liked

Baofu is silent as he inches out of the door and into the scarlet halls. The guards continue chatting, giving descriptions of that lovely lady that works at the Pachinko parlor

Katsuya doesn't have much time to respond while Baofu takes the matter into his own hands. Instead, he stands in the shadows, giving a confused look as he works out exactly how the last thirty seconds had worked as well as they had.

"Ah...y-yeah. I've got this one." Katsuya replies, nodding to one of the guards as he finally approaches, dragging him down the hall before stopping outside a janitorial closet. He looks around before picking the lock and shoving the unconscious guard inside, and when both guards are secured, he shuts the door quickly.

"That was certainly easier than I thought it would be." He says over his shoulder to Baofu.

Baofu stuffs the other guard into the janitor's closet, then steps back as Katsuya shuts and locks the door. He runs a hand through his hair and smirks.

"It's all skill, grasshopper." The rumormonger says with a smirk and then heads over to the large red doors the guards were standing in front of. He opens them, saunters on in without holding it for Katsuya.
