Mission report. Bombay 2200.

Problem with Siberian. Balinese on hiatus until further notice.

Success: 100%

Yutaro Sato had replied:

Wednesday, 1500, East Bridge.

And now the man waited, fingers lightly touching the metal railing, one ear turned toward the road.

Sato gave another nod, with another warm smile, and took the disk.

"Thank you. There's still a lot of day left," he mentioned. "I hope you enjoy it."

"Right... Then, I'll be going."

Omi turned and stopped. "Ah-- one other thing." Omi's hands closed into loose fists. "Even though we managed this time... I'm hoping for a little more information on the next assignment."

A memory of the target on the phone, talking so easily to a loved one. The haunting rings as she called back, wondering what had just become of him. She was crying today, for certain.

"I can't promise that I'm prepared to do another one with no further details and documentation. That's okay, isn't it?"

A tiny crease appeared between Sato's eyebrows, but it was immediately smoothed out. "I'll take it under consideration," he replied pleasantly.

As Omi had his back turned, he didn't see any change of expression, but didn't need to see it to know that response was business-ese for "Don't count on getting it."

"Yoshi," he answered, as falsely content as Sato, and walked for his bike.
