Yakuza page 1 of 11
Meeting a Friend There are two men. One man has a gun. He uses the gun. Now one man is dead. A new man is needed. Tokyo, Japan. It is a time of big money and expensive shops. Gucci and Prada on every street! Well, not every street. But for a young man with little money, everything was too expensive. It was all too Gucci and too Prada. But young men can always go to a bar. Tokyo has many bars. Some bars are for the rich and some for the young. This bar was not for everyone. There were not many people in the bar. But two men sit at a table. They are drinking beer and talking. They talk about girls, baseball and soccer. The things young men talk about. One man wears a black jacket with a black shirt and black trousers. The second man is wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. They are happy and are having a good time. But then ... 'I need a new car,' says Taka sadly. 'Go and buy one,' says Masa finishing his beer. 'I can't.' Taka replies looking at the table. 'What? You can't go or you can't buy?' Masa says quickly. 'I can't buy one.' Taka answers, looking into Masa`s eyes. 'I see. Do you need money?' Masa asks looking back at his friend. 'Always.' Taka answers with a smile. 'Yes, Tokyo is very expensive. And Taka my friend. You can have these things!' Masa understands his friend. 'I can help you.' 'You are a kind friend, but I don't want your money,' says Taka drinking his beer. 'Money is not what I have to give,' smiles Masa. 'I see. Then what are you giving?' asks Taka his eyes now looking across the bar. 'A job,' replies Masa watching Taka`s eyes go from table to table. 'A job?' asks Taka as their eyes meet. 'Yes,' says Masa. 'A job. You will need to meet some people, but I think it will be OK.' 'What people?' Taka asks. 'Men who wear black. Men who don't ask questions.' Masa answers. 'I see.' Taka replies.
