THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

(TOKYO AIRPORT) (11:55am)

It took them approximately twelve hours to fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo.

Alfred and his gang members were all putting on casual wears with hats on their heads. They decided to dress casually so as not to draw any unnecessary attention.

When Alfred and his gang members stepped out of the private jet, four heavily built characters were waiting for thrm standing behind four black Lexus cars.

They wore dark small glasses and well tailored dark suits but underneath that suit were weapons. The four men were Alfred’s men.

Alfred and his gang members were led to the four parked Lexus cars.

Theresa and Alfred both sat down alone in the rear seats of a Lexus while the others filled up the remaining cars.

One of Alfred’s men got behind the wheels and he blared the engines to life, then he zoomed of. The remaining cars drove behind

********

The four cars pulled up before a cheap hotel. The gang all tipped their hats to completely cover their face, then they came out of the car.

Caesar collected Alfred’s briefcase and they all ran up the flight of stairs to the lobby.

The men drove the cars further towards the parking lot to put it away.

The receptionist was a fat smiling Japanese guy who gave Alfred the creeps.

“Two rooms, please.” Alfred said, placing his debit card on the counter.

“How many days?” The receptionist asked.

“Just a few hours.” Alfred replied.

“The two rooms are in the fifth floor. Room 111 and room 126.” The receptionist said with a smile a he handed over two keys and a debit card to Alfred.

Alfred nodded and they all walked passed the receptionist. They stepped inside the elevator and Caesar pushed the fifth floor’s button Knife.

As the elevator rode them to the fifth floor, Alfred began talking. “We are just staying in this hotel for a few hours. After I brief you all about the plan, we get to work asap. Understood?”

“Yes boss.” They all replied, then the elevator came to a stop and the door swished open.

Alfred collected his briefcase from Caesar as they stepped out of the elevator.

“Ther rest of you should go wait for me in the second room,” Alfred said, then he averted his gaze to Theresa, “Follow me.”

Alfred and Theresa walked to the first room while the others went to the second room. Viper and Matilda secretly glared at Theresa.

“You seem troubled,” Alfred said, walking down the passage with Theresa, “What’s wrong?”

“I am fine.” Theresa replied with a smile. But Alfred noticed the smile on her face wasn’t a genuine one.

“Tell me Theresa,” Alfred said, “What’s bothering you?”

Theresa glanced down at her wristwatch and a sigh escaped her lips, “According to the time on this wristwatch,” she paused to look at Alfred’s face, “I have less than ten hours before the poison completely spreads throughout my body.”

Alfred stopped on his tracks and he held Theresa’s hands softly, “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we are gonna get the antidote within ten hours.”

“Okay,” Theresa nodded, then the both of them stepped inside room 111.

It was a shabbily furnished room consisting of a spring bed, a bedside table, a weak overhead fan and a small toilet.

Nothing fancy, just the way Alfred wanted it to be. He wouldn’t want Dante nor his front men having suspicions that he was in Tokyo.

“I’ll go take my bath.” Theresa said and Alfred nodded. Theresa undressed herself, then she stepped inside the bathroom.

Alfred sighed heavily. His hands feverishly brought out his cigarette case, then he took off his hat and coat and threw them on the bed.

As Alfred walked towards the window, he placed a cigarette on my lips and lit it up. His eyes took in the streets of Tokyo as he drew in hard on his cigarette.

He was greatly worried about Theresa. They only have less than ten hours to get the antidote from a dangerous assassin.

‘What if we fail to get the antidote within ten hours?’ Alfred thought as he blew out the rich smoke of his cigarette.’

‘No, I won’t let that happen. We must get that antidote at all cost. Theresa risked her life to save mine, so I must do everything I can to get that antidote.’

Alfred passed a wet tongue over his dry lips as all those thoughts roamed through his mind. Drawing the curtains, he left the window and paced restlessly in hid room.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I sat at the edge of my bed and gave the situation a thought. ”

Once Theresa was done bathing, Alfred stood up and he stepped inside the bathroom to take his bath.

After he was done bathing, he changed into a more casual and informal dress.

Wandering over to the table, he picked up the briefcase and took out the envelope out of it. What was in the envelope was a gun.

Alfred loaded it with bullets and wore a gun hostlers. Then he fixed the gun in and wore his coat. Before he stepped out of the room with Theresa.

**********

Alfred walked into the room, his free hand holding the end of his cigarette. Theresa also walked beside him.

Caesar, Douglas, Viper, Jeff, Octavius, Xavier, Stacy and Matilda were all waiting for him. They all looked up as he walked in with Theresa.

Alfred didn’t wait for anyone. He began talking. “Alright, everyone listen up. I arranged for this meeting cause we’re on a special mission.”

He paused to let that sink into their skulls. When no one answered, he proceeded.

“Some hours before we left Los Angeles, I sent Rose here to do a research on Shikita. She was able to dig out some useful information about her. Firstly, Shikita’s family are made up of numerous families all together. Uncles, grandparents, aunties, cousins and so on. It’s an extended family. They’re scattered across Japan,” Alfred paused to glance at everyone in the room before continuing.

“Secondly, Shikita lives with her Uncle. She works as a geisha at her uncle’s Chashitsu.”

“What’s a Chashitsu?” Matilda asked with a frown on her face. She was standing by the window.

“According to my spy, a Chashitsu is a Japanese architectural space designed to be used for tea ceremony gatherings,” Alfred explained.

“I have always fantasied about sleeping with a geisha someday,” Douglas chuckled, “I guess my fantasy will come to life today.”

“Why will Shikita work as a geisha for her uncle?” Theresa asked.

“Cause it’s the family business,” Alfred answered. “They’ve been at it for generations. These Japanese folks are crazy about honour and all that bullshít. She has no choice.”

“And yet she still works for Dante.” Viper said.

“Yeah, her uncle is part of the mafia,” Alfred said. “He’s with the Wang family.”

Caesar nodded. “The Wang family were once close ally with the Gilberto but they became independent and broke out of our circle. We’re still in good terms with them except, they have total control of their businesses and influence.”

“Who are the Wang family?” Matilda asked.

“They are made up of ten Chinese family who came together to form a criminal organization that even surpassed we the Gilberto. They hold big influence in the Asia continent and beyond the seas.” Alfred explained.

“The Wang family are not our enemy, boss,” Caesar said. ” The fact that Kashmiri, Shikita’s uncle is a member poses a challenge.”

“Yeah, I know,” Alfred replied, “If we abduct Shikita, it will surely trigger the Wang family ’cause her uncle is a member. And if the Wang family finds out that the Gilberto family is responsible for Kashmiri’s niece abduction, it might stir up the dust and cause a war between the Gilberto family and the Wang family.”

“So, what do you suggest we do?” Douglas asked.

Alfred stubbed ashes from his cigarette while he paced around the room. This was indeed a challenge.

Alfred and his gang members would never be able to get the antidote from Shikita without abducting her. If they successfully abduct her and the Wang family finds out that the Gilberto family is responsible for the abduction, it might cause a war between the two families ans that’s the last thing Alfred wants.

Running his hand over his face, Alfred analyzed the situation while his cigarette burned inbetween his lips.

Then he came up with this crazy decision. “We’d abduct both of them. The uncle and Shikita herself.”

Everyone in the room stared at Alfred like he had suddenly gone nuts.

“But boss,” Caesar was about saying more when Alfred cut him off.

“No buts, Caesar,” He said. “We’ll take those two. I don’t want to explain why. This afternoon we go to this Chashitsu and grab them. No questions, kapeesh?!”

“Alright, boss.” Caesar nodded.

The door opened and Rose walked in with a brown envelope in her right hand.

“Right on time.” Alfred said as he collected the envelope. Inside he envelope was the picture of a man and a file.

“Whose picture is that?” Douglas asked.

“This is the picture of the man I would be impersonating,” Alfred replied, “His name is Donovan McCurry, from United States. He is a guest at Shikita’s uncle Chashitsu.”

“And why do you want to impersonate him?” Viper questioned.

“Because I don’t want Shikita nor her uncle to suspect a thing about me.” Alfred replied.

Alfred turned to Rose, “Where’s Mr Donovan?”

“Tied up in an uncompleted building not far from here.” Rose replied.

Alfred nodded and he took a drag from his cigarette, “Great job.”

“So, what’s the plan?” Viper asked.

Alfred rubbed his hands together and pulled out a chair and sat on it. Then he began to address their plans.

“Matilda, your job is pretty simple,” Alfred paused to stare at her. “You’re going to poison the tea served this afternoon at the Chashitsu.”

Matilda’s face went pale like the belly of a fish. “Say what?”

Alfred repeated himself. “You’re gonna poison the tea served this afternoon at the Chashitsu.”

Matilda’s eyes blinked at him. “How the hell is that an easy task?”

Alfred ignored her and turned to Caesar. “You’re our getaway driver, Caesar. Get us a fast car that can’t be traced. You can handle that, can’t you?”

Caesar nodded. “Understood.”

Then Alfred’s eyes moved to Viper, who was leaning against the wall with her arms folded and a xikd expression on her face.

“Viper,” Alfred called. Her eyes met his. “You’ve got the most crucial part of the mission. You’re gonna seduce Shikita.”

A deep frown formed on Viper’s face. “Why do I have to seduce her?” She asked.

Alfred waved at Jeff. “Our source here tells us Shikita is bisexual but she loves doing it with ladies then men. She’s got hot pants for pretty girls. You’re a pretty girl. Shikita would love you. You’re gonna get her alone in a room, seduce her and knock her out.”

“I can’t fucking do that.” Viper said.

“It’s not a request, it’s an order!” Alfred retorted angrily.

“I’m sorry but I can’t obey that order!” Viper fired back.

“I’ll do it.” Theresa chipped in.

Alfred averted his gaze to her, “No, she is gonna do it.” He replied, pointing at Viper.

“I said I’ll do it!” Theresa said in a more louder tone, “I’m the reason why we all came here, if I wasn’t poisoned then we would not be here. So, let me handle the crucial part of the mission.”

“Alright then, I’ll let you do it,” Alfred said after ten seconds of silence.

“Rose,” Alfred called, diverting his gaze to her, “We’d have to get ourselves a much better hideout once we’re done with our mission. I’m leaving that into your hands.”

“Alright boss.” Rose nodded.

“The rest of you are backup, in case things get messy.” Alfred said, rising up to his feet, “Since everything is settled, let’s move out. We have less than nine hours to get this mission done.”
