Mila's Men

The Belt

Mila's face turned stone cold. Everyone bowed their heads and tried not to make eye contact with Mila or Jike. An eerie silence fell over the suite.

"Who!" Mila stammered breaking the silence.

Jike stared into Mila's eyes. "Shoes!" He exclaimed - laughing hysterically.

Mila stared back with a gaze of disgust.

"What?" Daylow, Tomo, and Kage exclaim in unison - wondering why a death would be so funny.

"Shoes was a cat - a freaking cat! I got you all upset over a cat!" Jike chuckled louder than ever.

"That's not funny!" Mila exclaimed - punching Jike in the shoulder.

"Yo!" A voice interrupted from the other side of the open suite door.

Two men in their twenty were standing in the hallway. Their clothes were ragged and torn. It appeared as if they had been living in the streets for quite some time.

"Is this the place where we can get some... you know...?"

Daylow darted towards the rough looking men.

"Excuse me!" He shouted back - escorting the men into his office across the hall.

"That was awkward." Jike commented with a smirk on his face.

"You think THAT was awkward!" Mila snapped. "What about you and that whole 'death in the family' routine!"

Tomo chuckled, as the siblings bickered amongst themselves.

Kage on the other hand - grew curious about the two men. Why was Daylow in such a hurry to take them to his office? Does he know them? What were they looking for? Kage crept out of the suite - moving carefully across the mosaic tile that covered the hall floor. The office door was cracked open just a tad. Kage slid along the wall outside of the office, until he could make outcome words.

"I don't know gave you this location - this is just a law office" Daylow's voice echoed from his office.

Kage peered through the crack in the door. It was late at night and Marget was gone. The men stood in front of her desk, and Daylow faced them.

"You can trust us!" The one man exclaimed. "We just want to see it."

Daylow's face grew red. He reached out his arms towards the two men. Daylow took hold of them. He trusted their backs together and lifted their arms in the air. He then brought them down with a swift crack - knocking the men against the desk. They moan out in pain and agony. Daylow grabbed them both by their ragged shirts - using only one hand.

"I don't know who you narcs think you're dealing with?" Daylow screamed in their face, as he pulled two badges from their pockets with his free hand. 

He then dropped the men and went into his office room. The men were still crying as they rolled on the floor pain. Daylow came back holding a long, red belt.

"See this!" Daylow yelled kicking the two men. "This is a red belt. The highest achievable rank in the Dargon Ryu. I am the only person to hold it."

Kage crept back across the hall. He had even more questions now than when he first went over to the office.

The next morning Margret was sitting at her desk, reading a magazine to pass the time until a client came in to see Daylow. The cover of the magazine read: "THE CITY'S TEN MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELORS".

Margret turned to a page with a close-up photo of Doctor Snively. Below his face it read: #1 DR. JARROD SNIVELY, FOUNDER OF USAGIE GROUP LABROTORIES. HE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED HIS CURE FOR OBELA, A PROJECT HE AND HIS PARTNER RICHARD NICHOLSON HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MANY YEARS. THE DOCTOR IS CURRENTLY STUDY FOR HIS 'FITH-DEGREE' BLACK BELT FROM THE DARGON RYU. HE EATS A STRICT VEGAN DEIT, CONSITING OF MOSTLY OF GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLE. THIS STRANGE EATING HABIT IS DUE TO A RARE ILLNESS HE CONTRACTED AS A CHILD. THE UNFORTUNATE LIFESTYLE HAS EARNED HIM THE NICKNAME 'THE RABBIT'...

"Excuse me - I have an appointment with Mister Carson." A prim voice interrupted her reading.

Margret put down the magazine, only to pick it back up to compare the photo on the page with the man standing before her.

"My name is Doctor Jarrod Snively. He said kissing Margret's hand. "What is your's - my darling?Margret was frozen in shock. "Margret!" She exclaimed - barely moving a facial muscle.'

"I would take you out to lunch today, but I have a meeting with an old friend. How about tomorrow? We can have lunch on the terrace of the cafe on 2nd Street."

"Realy!" Margret said, amazed.

Daylow opened his office door and signaled for Doctor Snively to come in. They both entered his office and shut the walnut door. Marget picked up the phone and began to dial. Her finger moved fast with excitement.

"Hello?" She shrieked into the phone. "Rachel! I've got a lunch date with the number one bachelor!

Doctor Snively returned to his office after his appointment with Daylow. He opened his office door to find Sensei Fukuro standing in front of his desk. Doctor Snively closed the door behind him as he entered his office. Fukuro turned around upon hearing the door shut.

"Jarrod! It's good to see you!" Fukuro exclaimed, shaking Doctor Snively's hand.

"It's been too long! Are you still teaching at the Dargon?" Snively asked.

"Yeah, I'm training some new white beltS."

"I'll get right to the point - the reason I called you here. It's about my Obela vaccine. I still need one more component."

"What's that?" Sensei Fukuro asked.

Doctor Snively reached down to grab trap lever. "You!"...

A/N: Oh no! It looks like Sensei Fukuro will be the next victim of the mad scientist Doctor Jarrod Snively. Yeah, and What's up with Daylow and his red belt? Keep reading to find out!Don't forget to like and comment if you enjoyed this chapter!Thanks for reading! :)
