Me and Yuri got into my SUV and made our way to Monika's warehouse. On the way I started conversation.

"So why did you think someone that wasn't me, was me?" I asked.

"Sayori was the one who thought it was you... the person knew a lot about you so he had some information to back it up." Yuri said.

"His tattoo was different though..." she added.

"What do you mean different?" I asked.

"It wasn't a spade... it was a club." Yuri added.

Holy shit... I only know one man that has the ace of clubs tattoo. The greatest traitor in the NWG history. Cosgrove...

"What?" Yuri said.

"Oh um sorry... I was just thinking." I said.

"You got a serious expression on your face all of the sudden." Yuri said.

"I was just thinking."

Me and Yuri walked in together and she seemed embarrassed as she walked next to me. She still had her sleeves pulled down that way I wouldn't see her tattoos. I decided to ask her about them.

"So um, what's with the tattoos?" I asked.

Yuri looked at her arms and then began to talk.

"I used them to... cover up some things." she said shyly. "I also like roses..."

"I think they look good. They let you express yourself. They look pretty." I said, trying to comfort Yuri.

"Th-Thank you..." she said.

"No problem." I said.

We walked into Monika's office to see she was passed out on her desk. It was almost funny to see her like this, as she was normally straight faced with a serious attitude.

"She starting drinking again..." Yuri said disappointed.

"Yeah I heard..." I said.

"She has a stressful job..." Yuri said.

"Yeah it takes a lot to be a leader. I've been leading the NWG for years and it takes all the life out of me." I said.

We set the blood diamonds on Monika's table and walked out.

Me and Yuri stood outside the complex and I pulled out a cigarette. I lit it and Yuri watched me as I took a puff of it.

"Well I guess this is where we part ways for today, I got some stuff I need to handle." I said.

"Oh uhm... okay. Do you think that you could come by my place later?" Yuri asked shyly.

"Oh um yeah. What for?" I asked.

"I just wanted to make you dinner... as an apology for everything" she said.

"I'd be honored to. I'll be there around 6." I said.

Yuri celebrated on the inside but maintained a serious look. She handed me a paper with an address on it.

"Well I'll see you later Yuri." I said.

"Oh okay... goodbye." Yuri said.

An awkward silence came over me and Yuri for a second until Yuri started moving towards me. She wrapped her arms around me pulling me in for a hug.

"I missed you... so much." Yuri whispered.

"I know... I missed you too." I said.

Yuri let go and then shyly walked back into the building. I threw my cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

I got back in my SUV and drove back to my house. I wanted to check up on Natsuki and Sayori before I went to Vinnie, Drew, and Khalil to talk to them about Cosgrove.

Cosgrove was my NWG partner and best friend. In the NWG, you are assigned an insignia card. Mine was the ace of spades, so my partner would be the person with the apposing suit. Which would be the ace of clubs.

Things escalated when I promoted him into a higher rank. He abused his power and started taking out NWG members that knew about his corruption.

Under the table, he would sell weapons to TFS. I eventually caught up with him and we got into a fight.

Me and Drew raided his house that was heavily guarded. He had the place surrounded with TFS members so we were totally outnumbered.

We fought until we were out of bullets, until our blades ran dull, and until the skin came off of our knuckles.

I ended up fighting Cosgrove on the roof. I don't remember what happened exactly but Drew told me that I killed him in a gruesome way, as if I was a totally different person.

After Cosgrove's death we used phrases like "You'll end up like Cosgrove if you do that" or "We don't talk about what happened to Cosgrove."

We saw it as a joke... I thought he was dead. How did he come back? How did he know the girls?

I rolled up my driveway and walked over to my door. I opened it and it was dead silence.

"Natsuki? Sayori?" I called out.

Silence.

I heard quick footsteps around the corner and I turned to the source of the noise. Natsuki ran up to me.

"W-would you like a cupcake?" Natsuki said while holding a tray of cupcakes. I scanned Natsuki and noticed she was wearing a weird outfit.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I asked.

Natsuki was standing before me wearing a French maid outfit.

"I uh... went on your computer and found that you liked these sorts of things... so I got one." she said embarrassed.

"Natsuki that's... how did you even get it here?" I asked.

"You can do a lot of stuff on a computer. I even looked at your other tabs and history!" Natsuki said excitedly.

"Please... never go on my computer again, Natsuki." I said.

I took the cupcake off of her tray and took a bite of it. I never actually liked cupcakes but Natsuki's was always the greatest.

"Thanks for the cupcake though." I said.

"No problem master!" she said while walking away.

I didn't even want to respond to that. It was almost funny to see Natsuki transition from a cold blooded gangster to a cute little girl in a french maid outfit.

I walked upstairs and went to Sayori's room. I knocked on the door slightly.

"Sayori?" I said.

She didn't answer. She was probably still sleeping, as she always had trouble getting up in the morning. I opened the door slowly as I heard a girl say "Hang on!"

I opened the door and saw Sayori in the middle of getting dressed, with an unbuttoned dress shirt on and her lingerie. Her back was turned to me giving me a perfect view of her curvy figure.

"Uh... uh..." I stood there dumbfounded.

"You ever heard of knocking." Sayori said while giving me a death stare. She began walking towards me.

"Uh... I'm sorry." I said.

"I'll be done in a minute, quit being a perv." Sayori said while pinching my cheeks. She put her index and middle finger on my forehead and pushed me out of the room. She closed the door in front of me.

"Woah..." I said.

I walked downstairs and grabbed my jacket.

"Where are you going now?" Natsuki said as I was walking out the door.

"I've got to go see some friends. I just wanted to swing by and see how you guys are doing. Do you think that you could make Sayori dinner? I don't trust her cooking for herself." I said while nervously chuckling.

"Anything for you master." Natsuki said while walking over to me. She leaned in and kissed me on my cheek while lifting one of her legs in the air.

"Heh, I'll be back later. I'll see ya." I said while walking out the door.
