For someone who's an open book when it comes to expressing his emotions, Hajime did a fine job pretending to be asleep. Even Jiro (the muscular man out of the three debt collectors) didn't even notice Hajime's pretense when he slung him on the shoulder.
An exhale left Shelly and Tamotsu's mouths as they tagged along with Jiro toward the back garage of the place. Hajime briefly opened his eyes so he could get a glimpse of the place but just as he had thought, he had no idea where they were. The debt collectors, on the other hand, were quite familiar with the place since they'd been here a couple of times in the past. This is none other than the one and only hideout of Ricardo Basilio, their boss, and he had been living herein ever since he escaped his home country. For many years, he had been on the run, but thanks to a certain incident, he now found his undeserved peace.
"How about the girl?" Shelly asked out of nowhere, much to Hajime's surprise.
