Hong Kong Nightclub, Monday Night

[l1ttle_billy]

Billy'd never been to Hong Kong before. He wished he was here as a tourist, the place seemed really cool. But unfortunately he was here on grim business. Along with Jinx and Kyle, he followed Storm Shadow through the streets to a high end night-club.

"Master Shinoda!" the bouncer greeted Storm Shadow, surprised. "Nee how wa?"

Billy was surprised. His sensei had never seemed like the Nightlife type. Jinx and Kyle likewise looked perplexed, though Jinx was better at hiding it.

"In a bit of a hurry tonight." Storm Shadow was saying. "Let the others know that I vouch for my companions. And tell the kitchen I'll be sending someone up for dinner in a bit."

The last time Billy had been to a night club had been in London, about a year ago. My how time flew. As he made his way through the crowd, trailing behind the others, he made a mental note to try to get out to some of the clubs in Tampa when he started school. For one thing, the girls were fantastic.

He stopped to admire a particular group of Chinese dancers, when Jinx grabbed the lapel of his jacket. "Billy," she warned in an exasperated voice.

Billy had once had a crush on Jinx, that still flared up from time to time, but nowadays she was much more like an older sister. "I think I should do recon." he smirked. "Up here." One of the girls winked at him.

"Now." Jinx ordered, pulling him away to Storm Shadow's private elevator. Billy's smirk died when the doors closed. He took a deep breath and attempted to center himself.

"You okay?" Kyle chuckled. "You gotta get back on the horse sometime man."

"The last horse I was on blew up." Billy grumbled. Fortunately the ride didn't last too long. And the Elevator didn't blow up.

"You're the first people to ever know about this place." Storm Shadow told them. "I bought it a couple of years back and had some special additions put in. The staff thinks I'm a Japanese record producer who has a private office in the basement. They don't know there's a sub-basement."

He flicked a switch, turning on the lights, and activating the equipment in the room. His friends gaped in awe. The room and it's contents looked like it'd be right at home in the NSA or CIA monitoring stations.

"And I thought I was the sneaky one in the family." Jinx murmured.

"Jinx and Billy, you're on tracking." Storm Shadow instructed. "Kyle you and I can prep the gear and arrange transportation. I don't care if I have to walk straight into hell and face the devil himself. I will find Junko. And I will have my revenge."
