Rindou stood outside of heavy burgundy doors. He could hear a cold voice on the other end but it was too muffled to fully understand.

Ran left him to meet Kurokawa alone. His brother made sure to mumble a warning as he passed. "Don't bullshit. The guy is messed up."

Rindou rolled his eyes. They've worked with and overthrown one too many sketchy individuals before. What had Ran so spooked about this guy? Of course Rin did his research, Izana had an impressive cover up. Upcoming entrepreneur and all that.

A small huff caught his attention. The heavy doors slowly opened, Rindou could hear someone struggling...

He wasn't sure why but he grabbed the door and swung it open for them. They weren't too heavy? Why--

He froze when his eyes landed on a woman. Lip busted and bruised, eyes bloodshot and watery, clothes nearly torn to shreds, A few loose strands of hair on her shoulders. But she had this look on her face, as if she didn't care..

Her legs wobble and she nearly touched him to steady herself. She knew who he was right away-- That annoyed voice made Rindou grot his teeth. "Long time no see Haitani. Wanna help a girl back to her car?"

Tola.... Rindou would love nothing more then to back his car over her..

"Cat got your tongue Rin?"

Another male yanked her back from him. Black hair, one white eye with a scar slashed through it. He looked down at her with a bored look. "Get out. You were instructed to not touch or speak to anyone."

Tola was quiet for once..

Kakucho looked back at the male. "Rindou Haitani?"

Rindou gave a slight nod. "Yes."

Kakucho motioned back into the office. "Izana will see you now."

--------------

Rindou's eyes stayed glued into Izana's knuckles. The skin was split and swollen..

"These look good. But the money isn't the only reason I need property."

Rindou was brought out of his gaze. "Right."

This was how they played it these days. Ran was always the face and charm used to find them a "partner". Sanzu was basically the guard dog who sniffed out the best deals when it came to drugs and trafficked women. Either it be from here in Tokyo or overseas. And himself? He was the brains.. He found the property for someone like Izana, calculated how much he'd make and how to double it, at times triple it.-- (Figure out a weakness or two as they claimed the ranks. )

Rindou placed a few files down for a couple of properties. "The first four are good for the women. Mine and my brother's partner has already put a bid in for a group of a dozen. They were a good batch and will bring in a good profit.--- the last few places are already stalked up with a shipment from overseas, Mexico. It's a pure mix but can be broken up and mixed into something synthetic and cheap for a higher profit as well. No one will know the difference once Sanzu is done with it."

Izana hummed and looked everything over. He's met Sanzu, though a drug addict, the guy knew what he was doing. And apparently, so did this one.

The silence was suffocating as Izana read over the files slowly. Making sure not to skip over any small detail.. Though everything was written in code, he could already see all the money the Haitani's could bring in.

"I like what I'm seeing Haitani. I think--"

The door clicked and Izana sat up straight. His hand reached under his desk and Rindou heard a small *click*.
