As much as you wanted to save money you knew deep down that cutting corners could cause no end of problems once you actually set the job in motion. Paying a few professionals to help would make things go smoother and would probably pay off in the long run, even with the large hit to your cut of the profits. You begin sipping on your third glass of champagne as the woman returns to the table and give her a sly smile.
"Alright, you've got a deal." you say as you pour her another drink. "I'm covering the extra cost though, so you'll need to have your friends check in with Ryu, the leader of the Sakura Garden Yakuza. If he thinks they're good enough for the job I'll add them to the crew, just don't make me regret this." The woman smiles as she stubs our her cigar and gives you a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks handsome, I only bring the best so we should have no problems. Just call those numbers and tell them Sakura sent you. They'll know what to do."
You laugh as you both toast your new business partnership and finish off your cigar. "Something tells me Sakura isn't your real name." you say confidently. "Mind telling me who I'll be working with on this little caper of ours?" The woman smiles again as she swirls the champagne in her glass and gives you a sultry look. You could detect a bit more venom bleeding through her sweet exterior as she gave you a smile.
"Sorry, but I can't give you my real name just yet, maybe that'll change before this is over. "Sakura" is just a code word I use to confirm my identity to the people I work with, don't forget it. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to get going before the hotel expects anything is up. I'll be seeing you again very soon, handsome."
You give her a kiss on the cheek as she gets up from her chair and follow her over to the door. "I'll work on squaring things away with the boss and give your people a call tomorrow. They'll be ready to move on such short notice?" you ask as she begins heading down the hall. "Like I said, I only work with the best." she replies with a wink before disappearing around a corner. An older guy in a business suit grins and gives you a thumbs up as you awkwardly wave to him and close your door.
"Guess tomorrow will be a big day, better get some sleep." you note to yourself as you down the last of your champagne and head off to the bathroom. After a quick shower you change into some fresh clothes and climb into your luxury bed. After double-checking your schedule for tomorrow you quickly drift off to sleep. What does the next day have in store for you first?
