Takashi steps out of the LAX airport, his phone glued to his head as he speaks rapidly in Japanese

" Have you found out her address yet? Aright what is it." He stops and listens, "What was the numb again? thirteen twenty-seven? Alright bye." He says shutting the phone on a still talking Moramoto, the sound of his voice was grating on his nerves. He grabs his duffel bag and hails a cab, slipping in when one finally pulls over for him.

"Where to?" The Driver says, a slight Indian accent coloring his words. Takashi gives him a glare and barks out an order.

"I need the closest car rental now.". The driver nods and when the coast was clear he pulls away from the curb, LAX falling behind them as they drive the streets of L/A. Five minutes later they pull up in front of Los Rentals. "Here this should pay my fee." He says throwing a hundred dollar bill at the Driver and leaving before he can protest, slamming the door shut and sauntering into the building, icy air conditioning greeting him. The young red Head at the front desk looks up from shifting paperwork, her name tag says Melina.

"Hello Sir Welcome to Los Rental's one of the salemen will be with you in a few." She says, Her perfect smile and dark almost black lipstick irritating Takashi, but he pushes it down and smiles back at her.

"Thank you," He say turning on his charm, She just smiles and goes back to her paperwork, his charm seeming to bounce off her like nothing. Making an irritated noise in the back of his throat he steps over to the front desk an leans against it, smiling when she looks back up at him. "Sorry to bother you again, but I'm here on a business trip, I'm from Tokyo Japan, anyway my girlfriend wants a souvenir from The Great Los Angeles, what is the best Shop to go to?" He asks her, trying to act like a helpless tourist. At the mention of Tokyo she lights up.

"Oh my Best friend Katie just got back from living in Tokyo for three years!" She exclaims, Takashi smiles a knowing smile. " And it so happens that her family owns a little shop that in my opinion is the best tourist shop around, they have all sorts of L/A paraphernalia, Here's the address so you can program it into the GPS when you get your rental." She says in a flurry and scribbled down a half legible address handing it to him. He reaches for it and lets his hand linger a second too long, their fingers touching briefly. She pulls away and turns as a salesman, in a very flashy suit and all smiles, walks in.

"Hello Sir my name is Andrew if you would please come this way I can help you find the perfect rental for your duration here." He says politely, charm oozing out of him. Takashi just smiles at him and follows. Turning around he holds up the slip of paper and mouths Thank You To Melina, she just nods and picks up the phone which was ringing, Her professional voice fading as he follows Andrew to the car lot. " So is there any type of car you are looking for Mr?"

"You can call me Takashi, and the only thing that matters to me is Expensive and speed." He says cutting off the mans disgusting oozing charm. Andrew frowns slightly, but its gone in a few, replaced by sparking excited eyes and a wide bright white smile.

"I think I have the perfect thing for you, How about a nice red Ferrari?" He says pointing to his left. Takashi follows and a sinister grin spreads on his face as he spots the sleek red body of the Ferrari, the car was screaming Money and speed. He nods.

"That is perfect, Does it come with a GPS?" He says striding over to it, he lets his hand caress the hood, as if caressing the tender skin of a beautiful women. Andrew blathers on about all the great features of the car, telling him how they can give him a GPS for the car, for an extra fee of course, Takashi blots out his verbal spew and turns to him. "That sounds great, where do I sign for the renting of it?" He says once again cutting him off. This time Andrew was so quick to hide his frustration, he clears his throat and leads him to his office inside, walking past Melina who was still on the phone.
