Vegan: This isn't a good idea. We should kill him now.

Cappuccino: Patience, Vegan. I need answers. I need answers from him.

Shinigami regained consciousness and found himself tied to a chair, stripped of his weapons.

Vegan: He's awake.

Cappuccino makes his way over.

Cappuccino: So. This is the great Shinigami. You attack my warehouses. You kill my men. What do you want from me?!

Shinigami: My weapons would be nice.

One of the thugs held one of his pistols with the rest being on the table behind him.

Shinigami: Better enjoy it while it lasts, tough guy.

Cappuccino: Tough words from someone who is helpless. (slaps)

Shinigami: Oooh... No, you did not!

Cappuccino: (continuously slaps)

Shinigami: Okay. Maybe you did.

Cappuccino: What do you want, Shinigami? Who are you working for?

Shinigami: What? You expect me to just blurt it all out?

Cappuccino: My nephew was at the Pan-ya street warehouse when you attacked it, okay. I think you owe me an explanation.

Shinigami: Your nephew? Hmm... Your nephew...

Cappuccino: He was such a good boy. He wanted to be a DJ at some big nightclub. I told him, someday I'll buy you your own nightclub. As long as you sell my drugs there. Eh, the profit sharing we never agreed on. But you know, he was such a sweet kid.

Shinigami: Oh yeah. Yeah I remember him. He was the one playing the music. Knows how to drop the beat.

Cappuccino: He always loved his music.

Shinigami: Well, he;s dead now. But I didn't kill him nor was I at that warehouse of yours.

He gets slapped again.

Cappuccino: Kill this man. He's wasting my time.

Vegan: It's about time.

Cappuccino Thug #12: How does it feel to be killed, by your own gun?

Shinigami: Funny... I was about to ask you the same thing.

He leans back as the bullet breaks the lock. He then kills the thug with his own gun before grabbing his own. He kills the remaining thugs before aiming at Vegan and Cappuccino.

Shinigami: Are we done playing games for today?

~***~

Tsukauchi: Finally... (dials in)

Dispatcher: Dispatch.

Tsukauchi: This is Tsukauchi.

Dispatcher: Roger, Detective Tsukauchi.

Tsukauchi: We need backup. At 43rd and main street.

Dispatcher: Right away, sir.

Tsukauchi: There's no rush. I got time. Tsukauchi out.

~***~

It was a stand off as Vegan and Shinigami had each other at gun point.

Cappuccino: How dare you! How dare you come onto my property, looking to kill me! Who do you think you are?

Shinigami: Hate to burst your bubble, Cappuccino... but I'm not here to kill you.
