"No. He doesn't need a hospital. How many times do I have to say that? He's fine." Min-jin said in Japanese, speaking into his cellphone. The cellphone's glow was the sole light source in the room.

Pt. XII: The Yakuza Jack began to stir about noon. Something under the covers made him quite alert. Kim encouraged him to rise in more ways than one with her warm and wet lips.

He then positione...

Cheers! =) ___________________________________ Genzo tapped his foot impatiently as he rode the elevator to Noboru's penthouse.
