“This the place?” Jin asks as he quickly glances around, Izumi letting go to look at the flyer once more. “Yup. The information said someone would meet us here shortly after dusk.” Jin sneers as Izumi heads down the alley first, him following closely behind just in case someone tried anything. They venture a bit down the alleyway before they see him. A man dressed in white leaning up against the wall. “I hate him already and not just because he’s human.” Jin mutters just loud enough for Izumi to hear. The woman snickers as the two approach. “Are you Neal?” Izumi asks. “Ah, so you must be the ones who accepted my job.” The man take a good long look at the two in front of him, his eyes lingering a little longer than they should on Izumi. Jin takes note of this and steps forward, blocking his view. “Not bad. You guys work perfectly. I got something big planned but I’ll need the best. Let’s see if you guys have what it takes.”
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small slip of paper. Opening it briefly just to ensure its contents are what he needs, he hands it to the behemoth in front of him. Reluctantly, Jin takes the paper and reads it before tossing it aside in anger. Izumi quickly catches the paper before it falls to the ground as Jin angrily steps closer to the man. “You want us to do your damned grocery shopping?” The man quickly takes a step back as he clutches something in his pocket. His eyes never leaving Jin’s imposing form. “I don’t want you to shop. I want you to steal those items I requested. Like I said, I need to see if you have what it takes.” “Jin, relax. It’s fine. This should be a piece of cake.” Izumi says as she places a hand on his arm to comfort him. “I’ll be watching...” Neal says with a tint of arrogance.
