<strong>Name:</strong>Sagawa Bunji<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Sake Garden Bar & Restaurant (Tokyo)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Mysterious woman, Open<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Keep the cash.</strong><br/><br/>Bunji’s brows jumped in surprise.<br/><br/><strong>It was nice meeting you. I’ll be in touch.</strong><br/><br/>Blinking, he lowered the briefcase to watch the woman return to her vehicle.<br/><br/><em>Who the hell are you?</em> he thought, which was a question that he had wanted to ask but he was too stunned to even speak. The briefcase felt as though a dumbbell had been inside it rather than bands of paper bills. She just let him have it?<br/><br/>Turning to slowly step back into the restaurant, Bunji held the briefcase between his hands, staring down at it in awe. What was he going to do with so much money?<br/><br/>“She let you keep it?” the manager asked in just as much shock. Resting a hand upon a chair and another in his pocket, Bunji’s manager smiled slyly and said, “So, Sagawa-san, have I ever told you that your culinary skills surpass those of our competitors?”<br/><br/>Bunji frowned back at his boss. “I’m not giving you any of this money.”<br/><br/>“What? But you have enough that if you gave me even 50% you’d still be rich!”<br/><br/>“I have to figure out what I’m going to do with it. If my mother saw this…” His expression became slightly pained. “She might think that I stole it or reverted back to my old ways.”<br/><br/>“Let me make your life easier then and take it all off your hands.”<br/><br/>“No.”<br/><br/>“You’re fired.”<br/><br/>“Good.”<br/><br/>“Sagawa-san!” The manager hung his head in defeat and sighed. “Never mind you win. She gave it to you any way. If you or your mother have any emergencies, you could always use that money as a backup.”<br/><br/>It was a good idea. He could just hold onto it, but he would have to keep it safe. He didn’t trust his boss or anyone.<br/><br/>“I’ll figure it out. I have to get back to work.”<br/><br/>The chef carried the briefcase into the back. He planned to hide it some place secure and where his boss or any stranger couldn’t find it.</span>
