>>21375493>>21389229Away from what should be the loud hustle and bustle of the Club Xtacy atmosphere, Cassie sits in her office, deep in conversation with one of her senior operatives in Tokyo. “More men for our Japanese operation? Why? I gave you more than enough. I want a lean efficient operation, much tighter than what we can get away with in Spaghetti Town, or even back home in Dublin.”
Cassie sighs. “Yes I know things are a bit strained with the Minakami after the WWA matter, but we have a mutually profitable deal with the Tokyo Six. It’s in neither of our sides’ best interests to do anything that’d affect that.”
Someone starts to bang on Cassie’s door. She furrows her brow. Her men wouldn’t interrupt her without good reason. “Something just came up. Talk later.”
After ending the call, she pushes the phone into a pocket and glances toward the door. “Come in.”
The words are barely out of Cassie’s mouth when Liam Lonergan stumbles into her office, a look of concern on his face. “Boss, there’s some girls making trouble in the club. Total freaks, so probably a WWA thing.”
Cassie rises to her feet. Deathproof seeking revenge? Those Minakami girls making trouble? Whatever it was, she needed to find out. “Show me,” she orders.
Cassie follows as Lonergan leaves the office and hurries along the corridor outside. The security control room is a few doors down from Cassie’s office, and he enters, with Cassie hot on his heels. “See boss? Loo-”
Lonergan goes silent as Cassie pushes him out of her way, and glares at the monitors showing security footage from Xtacy’s ground floor. There was no sign of Deathproof. Or the Minakami sisters. Instead she was greeted by the sight of two girls she was unfamiliar with, and narrows her eyes as one renders the DJ unconscious.
