I'll Protect You

_Ch.5 Phone Call_

Grian giggled, swinging his legs while sitting on Taurtis's desk. Taurtis sat up in his chair and placed a quick kiss on Grian's nose. Grian smiled before sighing, "I guess I should go now, you have important stuff to do and I'll just be a distraction."

Grian slid of Taurtis's desk and would've walked away, but Taurtis grabbed his hand, "No, stay a little while more."

Grian shook his head and laughed, "I can't."

The phone on Taurtis's desk started off to ring. Grian pointed to it, "See, important stuff. I'll see you at home."

Taurtis watched Grian exit his office before groaning and picking up the phone, "Hello?"

"Wow, I would have expected there to be a more professional introduction, Mr. Yakuza."

Taurtis gritted his teeth, "And I would've expected you to stop using that stupid voice changer."

The person laughed, "Not yet, maybe soon. I just thought you'd appreciate a call from me. Have you figured out who I am yet?"

"No, you know, this would go a lot smoother if you just told me what you were after."

"I told you everything you need to know. I am someone of power, you should fear me."

Taurtis rolled his eyes, "Sure."

"The Yakuzas used to be friends with my family, until you killed someone special of ours."

"Yeah, Yeah. And now you're known as Mistress. Listen, I don't have time for this, I'm a busy man."

"Busy, but yet you still begged your lover to stay."

Taurtis froze. "Oh, now do I have your attention?" The person spoke, "You really don't understand who you have pissed off, Mr. Yakuza."

"Look, I didn't do anything."

"Oh, but your father did, and now that deed falls to you. So, you are the one responsible for her death."

"Her? Can you at least give a name? You do realize my father killed multiple people."

"Glad to see you're cooperating. Her name was Alice, but that's all I'll give you, or else it's too easy."

Taurtis sighed, "Is that all?"

"One more thing, just remember Mr. Yakuza, I'm keeping an eye on not only you, but that blonde, if you fail to figure this out. I'll just have to put a bullet in his head and consider it a tie. Have a lovely day!"

Taurtis groaned as he hung up the phone. He placed his head in his hands, before sighing a picking up the phone again, "Dom, get me all the files you can find on a woman named Alice."

---

"I can't find anything! There's nothing on a girl named Alice! How can they expect me to find someone who doesn't exist?!" Taurtis groaned as he threw another file onto his desk.

"Maybe she wasn't the one who owed money, maybe it was her parents of something," Dom suggested.

Taurtis ran a hand through his hair, "Then that would mean I need to check every file we have to find her."

"Well-" The sound of the door clicking shut halted their conversation.

"Sorry to bother you, but did you say Alice?" Yuki asked as she took a seat in front of Taurtis's desk.

"Yes, why? Do you know her?" Taurtis raised his eyebrow.

Yuki turned to Dom, "Could you give us a minute?"

Dom hesitated for a moment, before nodding and stepping outside. Yuki turned her attention to Taurtis, "Who's asking you to find her?"

"The same person who called at my wedding, Mistress."

Yuki chewed on her bottom lip, "That's not good. I was kinda hoping I would never have to discuss this."

Taurtis motioned for her to continue. Yuki sucked in a deep breath, "Alice was a business partner, her full name was Alice Johnson. She was a girl born in wealth, yet she always ended up on the shadier side of things. Dad valued that and saw her as a valuable resource."

"So why did he kill her?"

"I'm getting to that. You see, he really, really liked her. She was a beautiful girl and she knew that. Through most of their interactions were strictly business, there were times they were a little to friendly."

Yuki sat up in her chair, "And Alice wasn't a single woman, she was married. So it was a huge affair. Of course, they were sneaky, but then Alice got pregnant. And when my mom found out, she was furious, but Dad convinced her that the child was merely a result of him raping Alice because she wouldn't give him the information he needed. And my mom believed that, she even let the child be raised in her home."

Taurtis froze, "So that means-" Yuki raised her hand to stop him, "They continued to mess around, even through they already risked a lot with the child. Eventually, my mom found out. She killed Alice, not Dad. Dad actually attempted to save Alice when he found out what was going on, but he was to late. He then took full responsibility for her death. But Taurtis, if this Mistress person knows of this, I may know who they are."

Taurtis shook his head, "Wait, so, Alice, the woman who may be the reason I die, is my mother?"

Yuki nodded, "Yes, Dad preferred to not tell you. And when my mom left, because she found out about Alice, he just lost it."

Taurtis was in shock, slowly trying to wrap his head around all of this. He couldn't believe it, but yet he was a little curious, "Who do you think Mistress could be?"

Yuki smiled, "Alice was married, she and her husband had a daughter. I think Ms. Jaycee Johnson is our best bet."
