"Jun's always reliable!" I massaged his shoulders.
"Oh stop it. Anyway." Jun laid his palm in front of us "Payment."
"Maybe after-"
"Then info's later."
"Fine."
I placed bucks on his palm. He counted it and started with the discussion. Last night, we tailed a Rose member and found out a mafia boss' name. Just like that, give Jun less than 24h and info's here.
"Woozi. Of course, it's a nickname. He's a capo, leading their loan industry. Basically, he's a loan shark."
"Capo?"
"So you have your big boss, then underboss, then capos. They're ranking men with soldiers under them."
"See, Hoshi, it's not as dangerous as the Nico one."
"Ehh. I have a bad feeling about this." He gulped his coffee while Jun continued
"Now, as for his picture, Woozi doesn't make the deals himself. He has many associates that do the dirty work for him."
"So he just sits around, waiting for the collection." I said.
"Yup. But I know a man who owes the mafia. In fairness, he's a good payer. He owns the bake shop at the entrance of the Chinatown."
"The bakery that just got customers recently?"
"Ahh. That explains why his store got wider. They're a café now which used to be just a stand." I said.
"Yup, he was able to pay that huge interest, thanks to his prayers and customers. So yeah, tonight, Woozi's associates will collect money from him."
"And we can tail him, right?"
"Right. Good luck."
We left the Chinese restaurant and went to the café to have bread for late dinner.
"These are good." Hoshi is trying the cinnamon roll while mine's pizza bread.
"Yeah. Surviving a loan shark, huh. Oh wait look."
Now an obvious mafia fashion guy entered the cafe. He was accommodated by the owner himself and went behind the cashier. The owner handed an envelope and another paper bag.
"That's cute, take out."
"Yeah, maybe that's why they're soft for this bakery." I said.
The guy left and so are we. Following that car lead us to an antique shop.
We surveyed the shop from the parking space. It's really suspicious. For an antique shop to have a full packed parking spot at this hour is unusual. Also, aside from the Toyota sedan, a metallic black BMW is parked. Most likely owned by that Woozi.
"Hoshi, distract the cashier and I'll look for a secret-ish door."
"Why me?"
"I don't know, you're more entertaining?"
"Correct."
We entered the shop and he approached the cashier.
"Hi, sir! I'm looking for a map."
"A map?"
"Uhm, yeah, a map."
What the hell is talking about? Anyway, I pushed every cabinets looking for a door or what not.
"A map to the treasure island, maybe?"
"Sir, we're an antique shop."
"What does it mean? You don't have it?"
"We have some sort of items that resembles a map. We're closing in about half an hour from now, though."
I found a big banner and when I touched it, I felt a door knob. This is it.
"Guess I'll look for it myself."
"Enjoy, sir."
Hoshi looked at me and I raised my brows. He replied by doing the same.
I sneaked inside the door and suddenly someone tapped my shoulders
"Off limits, sir."
"Yeah, okay.."
I kicked the buff guy and Hoshi ran towards me. We opened the door and closed it from the inside.
"Jeonghan? Hoshi?"
