"I- I don't know! Some of our guys were hired for some kidnapping a few days ago! I never knew the details, the employer didn't want anyone to know! I just know the guys who were hired died a couple days ago, then this guy dressed all in black shows up, says we need to kill this whore-" he nodded to Mariko, "- 'cuz one of the guys who were hired blabbed to her!
