“Betrayal”
Chapter 1


It is beautiful sunny day out. While at the Honky Tonk Cafe Ban and Ginji, sit at the counter and talk of their next job. When all of a sudden they hear the bell ring on the door and a young lady comes running in crying.

"Please she cries you have to hide me, Please do not let them find me, you have to help me, please...I beg of you."

"What is going on," Paul asks, "Who are you running from?"

She looks at the young man behind the counter "I do not have time to explain," walking to the front window and looking out... "Please I need somewhere to hide there is not much time" she says, "They will be coming this way soon to look for me. I am not running from the law that is all I can tell you... Please I need your help." Tears streaming down her face, "If they find me they will kill me... Please Help Me."

Ban stands up and looks at Paul, "Your call dude if they find her hiding here they might kill you as well."

"BAN!" Ginji says, "We have to help her she is in trouble."

"Then she needs to go to the police, not come in here looking for help." Ban says.

The young lady walks back over to the window and looks out again, and saying "I have... they have killed two police officers so far that I have talked to, to keep them quite as well."

Paul lays the newspaper down on the counter... "These two officers I take are the ones you are talking about then."

Ban and Ginji look at the front-page story in the paper it read. "Two Officers Shot and Killed Yesterday" Officials believe, Mob is Involved... Paul looks over at the young lady, she is still looking out the window. "Their Coming!" As she moves away from the window quickly... "PLEASE can you help me...?”

Paul walks from around the counter, "Follow me," Paul says to her and he takes her into the backroom. Paul walks over to some boxes up against the wall and pushes on them reveling a room behind them.

"You can hide in here until their gone; they will never find you in here." Paul says.

"Thank You" she tells him and walks into the room as Paul pushes the boxes back into place, "I will come, and get you when I think it is clear for you to come out."

"Thank You" she says again as the wall on her side slides completely closed. She turns to look at the room, she sees a desk and chair, with a PC sitting on the desk and four Super Computer Towers around it... "Who is this guy" she says.

Paul walks out form the backroom just as the two men that are looking for the girl walk through the door. The two men start looking around the Cafe Paul looking at them asks, "Can I help you gentlemen."

"Have you seen a girl come in here about 5'6 or so, in her mid-twenties, long brown hair, thin build, and wearing a black jean jacket and black jeans."

Ban looks at them saying, "NOPE, it has been us three in here all afternoon, you are the first people we've seen this morning since about 10 o'clock or so."

They one guy looks at Ban and Ginji, "You have seen no one."

"No, but if a girl comes in here looking like that we will be sure to tell her you are looking for her," Ginji tells him. "What is your name by the way, so we can let her know you were here for her...?”

"Do not worry about it," he says to Ginji in a stern voice, "She cannot be too far we will find her."

"Well Have a Good Day," Paul tells them as they turn to walk out the door.

"Man those were some BIG dudes to be sending out after one little girl," Ginji says.

"Yeah, that is what I was thinking," Paul and Ban say.

"So did you hide her in your computer room," Ban said.

"Yep, sure did, I know if they got to looking too good in here they would find her any place else, that was the safest place for her," Paul tells him as he picks up the newspaper again.

"Well you can go get her now that they are gone," Ginji says.

"No, I think I will leave her back there for a little while to be safe." They are serious about finding her, and right now with the way things look, they are not the only ones looking for her," as Paul lays the newspaper down on the counter showing a picture of the young lady that they are hiding, the article reading.

"The Police are looking for this young women. If anyone has seen her, please call the Police Department "Immediately" for her safety, Miss. Yuuka Shimizu is a witness to a crime and believed to be in extreme danger.

"What the hell is going on here," Ban says.

"That is a good question Ban," Paul says "And as soon as it is safe to bring her out, we will ask Miss. Yuuka Shimizu that exacted question."


After a few hours have passed, Paul goes to the backroom to get the young lady. He slides the boxes to find her, curled up in the corner of the room sleeping.

He walks over to her, touching her, says "Hey wake up," she jumps to his touch, and sits up.

"Huh... what..." she says, "Are they gone."

Paul looks at her "Yes I would say they are gone it has been 3 hours and they have not came back in looking for you. So I think they have moved on to some place else to find you." Paul says. "Come on lets get you out of here and some place warm, your like ice from being back here." Paul helps her stand, she looks at him and smiles.

"I guess I owe you an explanation of what is going on huh... Thank You so Much for your help." She tells him.

He smiles back at her saying, "Well that would be nice if you would tell me why I put my life on the line for you for." As they walk out of the backroom, Ban and Ginji are sitting at the counter with two other guy's sitting beside them.

"Hey," one of the guys say, "You’re that girl that was in the newspaper, I hear that there are a lot of people looking for you."

She stops walking, "Their all right, they are friend of ours" Paul says to her as he gives her a seat at a table.

"So Yuuka, tell us why those men and the police want you so badly," Ban says.

She looks at all of them sitting at the counter from her table, "I do not think it would be a good idea for me to tell all of you why I am here, it could put you all in danger as well." She says, "Just telling one of you is bad enough and if they find out, I told someone else, they will come to kill you as well."

Ginji walks over to the table and sits down across from her and saying, "We will be fine, you do not have to worry about us."

"What you tell us, is like keeping it to yourself; none of us will tell anyone what you have to say," Paul says as he sets down a cup of hot tea for her and taking a seat on the other side of the table with Ginji.

She looks around the Cafe at the strangers faces, "Who are you guy's?" She asks them.

Ginji looks at her and smiles, "I am Ginji and this is my partner Ban..."

"I am Paul and those two there are Kazuki and Juubei."

She smiles at them saying "I am Yuuka; it is nice to meet you all."

"All right then" Ban chimes in, "Now that the introduction is over tells us. Why are you hiding from everyone, you got people that want to kill you and the police trying to protect you and you are hiding from both." Ban says.

"The newspaper says you are a witness to a crime is that true Yuuka," Ginji says.

"Yes, it is" Yuuka says as she hangs her head and a tear falls into her tea.

"Yuuka..." Ginji says as he moves to the other side of the table sitting next to her and putting his arm around her, "It is ok...If you tell us, what is going on then we can help you."

"I do not know if you can Ginji, everyone that has tried to help me has ended up dead," Yuuka tells him.

Kazuki walks over to the table and sits across from her were Ginji was sitting. Kazuki reaches across the table and takes Yuukas' hand, "You would be amazed at what we can do" he tells her.

"No one has been able to kill us yet... and it's not like people have not tried before," Ban says with a laugh. Yuuka looks up from the table seeing a smile on all their faces. "It is worth a try Yuuka, tell us and we can help you out of the mess" Paul tells her.

She looks at Paul..."I guess I have to get help from somewhere; the police cannot seem to do it," looking around the room again at the guy's Yuuka says, "All right I will tell you what happened."


As the guy's sit there listening to Yuukas story not making a sound or asking any questions. She went on to tell the story of why her life was in danger and why not only these men were looking for her, but the police as well. Paul got up and made her another cup of tea, as Yuuka removed her jacket and started her story of Betrayal.

"It started about 8 years ago when my Mother married Yokimura Shimizu, a well know mobster in this area. I was only 16 when they married, so I really did not pay attention to what was going on in the house or in their lives or did I really care, I was a teenage girl that was more interested in boys then my Mother and Step Father. As I grew older, one of the men that my Step Grandfather had working for him caught my eye and I of course caught his, so we started dating, as the years went on he started telling me things that he does and did for my Step Father and Grandfather. I could not believe what he was telling me how could he do these things, how could anyone do these things. I thought he was messing with me, so I started to pay closer attention to things going on around the house and phone calls that came in. I started to notice things that were happening that should not have been and realized Jin was not lying to me about what he was telling me." Yuuka Paused looking adound the room at the others.

"I ask my Mother about it, she knew everything; I was in total shock that she married this man, a killer, and drug ringleader. I told my Mother I was moving out and she would never see me set foot in this house again, if she wanted to live like this then that was her choice, but I refused to live a life of crime. So I moved out and into a place of my own. Jin and I still seen one another from time to time, but I wanted a clean break from all of it, so I told him that. He became very up set with it all, and told me he loved me and he would not leave me and if the only way he could be with me was to walk away he would do it as well. So he went a told my Step Grandfather he wanted nothing more to with the Shimizu Family Business and he wanted out. Grandfather was shocked, and asks him why, Jin told him. My Grandfather told him he was free to go, Jin reassured him that he would never let his past out and no one would ever know of the Shimizu Family Business. They shook hands and parted ways forever." Yuuka took a sip of her tea as she continued.

"Jin moved in with me about a week after that and he got a real job. Things were great for almost a year, and then my Step Fathers men started to show up at our door. They needed Jin to do a job, he told them to get someone else to do it he was out of that line of work never to return to it. After about three or four times of seeing them, we saw my Step Father and Grandfather at our door."

"Jin told them the same thing and said, 'You told me you would leave me alone'."

"My Grandfather told him, 'You were never out of the family business once your in your in, at least until your dead.'

"Jin told them to leave and never return to our home he was not doing the job for them and he will never pick up a gun again. He was happy with his life now and wanted it to stay the way it was he did not want to return to all the nightmares like before. My Step Father and Grandfather were not happy at the least, but they left. About a week later Jin and I went to dinner and then for a walk in the Park. Jin started to act a little strange while we were walking; I ask him what was wrong. He looked at me and told me to Go, he pushed me away just as I seen one of my Step Grandfathers men step out from behind a tree and then two more from around the fountain, I was backing away from Jin." Yuuka hanges her head as another tear fell to the table.

"When he screamed, 'GO NOW, RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK...RUN.' I could not; I froze until I saw Jin fall to the ground and blood soaking his white shirt. I screamed Jin's name running to him. One of my Grandfathers men grabbed me and told me, 'Go home, and forget everything you just saw here or you will meet with the same fate as Jin.' I slapped him calling him a Bastard and told him I would see every one of them burn for killing Jin and ran off."

"I heard one of the men say, 'Don’t shoot her the old man will kill you himself', 'But she is going to the police.' The one that grabbed me said, 'Let the old man take care of her we did our job'."

"I went to the police and told two officers the story; they went to the park and found Jin. I do not know how my Father found out which two officers I talked too, but he did. I was under their custody at my home until my Step Fathers men killed the two officer's right in front of me. They did not try to shoot me, but told me I was to go with them my Step Father wanted a word with me. I followed them outside and got into my car and started it, as they were climbing in the car I speed off, and I have been on the run ever since."
