The wait is killing me.

I am not a patient person. So having to wait more than 24 hours for Vortex to start up the first Cyclone of the season so he can create enough of a convincing cover for Ki-Yama, Aryis and myself to get in and free these hostages. Was really annoying.

You see the genius of Koma's plan is the fact that noone realises that the hostages are actually freed because of the Cyclone. It also takes the number of witnesses to our activity down to just the guys guarding the hostages. But before any action could be taken we had to wait hiding out in Suva waiting for Vortex's cyclone to come to town.

Ayris went to sleep. So it was just me and Ki-Yama sitting in the small apartment, in silence. I'd already tried to turn on the TV. I learnt that Ki-Yama hated TV when she put a kife through the screen. Aryis laughed, told me if I opened the door he'd kill me. Said Ki-Yama could come in if she was up for some more, then closed the door to the bedroom.

I was curious and turned to Ki-Yama.
"Well I had to find out for myself Warren. But I don't do it before a job, it ruins my intensity." She continued cleaning her array of knives.

It didn't take me long to get really bored. So I asked Ki-Yama about how she got to Spearhead.
"Your new so I'll tell you what I tell everyone." she sighed and put her kife down. "I kill people its what I do. I like doing it. And if you try and ask me about my past again I'll hurt you." Then she picked up her knife and continued cleaning it.
"Can I help." I asked.
"You ever cleaned a knife before?" she asked.
"Yeah but they were all butchers knives. My Dad worked in an abitoir." I replied.
She passed me a knife and a cloth and watched me while I cleaned the knife. After I finished I checked the kinfe to see if it was sharp. I looked up to see a stone in her outstreached hand. I took it and sharpened the blade.
"So your not a complete waste of time are you Warren." she took out a small bag and opened it to reveal her two swords. "Finish the knives. I need to do these."

Well this was fun cleaning and sharpening kives with a dead hot assassin. It certainly was a a high point. I hadn't had this much fun since the last hot assassin I'd worked with.

"You've cleaned assassin's knives before." she mentioned.
"Yeah. I spent sometime in Japan a few years ago. Got to hang around with some Ninja's, at least I think they were ninja's." There was no need to lie to her.

"What was her name?" she asked with a slight smile.

"How did you know it was a she." I replied. She gave that look all women give you when they know that of course it was a woman.

"Ok her name was Kim. But I think you mean her code name that was Black Rose. You know her?" I knew the answer, from the fact she looked up when I mentioned her code name.

"Of course. Nice to know she's still alive." She went back to her sword. And that was all I got out of her. Next time I'm bringing a video game.
