    Chapter 5: Three new members

    Three weeks had passed since I had put the ad out in the paper, but there were no takers. That didn’t stop me from trying though. Fueled by the thoughts of Ayumi, I pressed on. I worked all day and all night, barely stopping to rest. I had to get people to join, no matter what it took. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, but all my efforts were for nothing. Nobody had come forward, and I was losing hope. However, on the day I decided to stop trying, my hard work paid off.

    Around noon there was a knock on my front door. I slowly climbed out of bed and answered the door. “Can I help you?” I asked as I opened the door. I saw three girls standing there. “Yes you can. We are looking for a Daniel Thompson. Do you know where we could find him?” one of the girls asked. “Yeah, that’s me. What can I help you with?” I asked. “You wouldn’t happen to have any open positions in Delta Plus would you?” another girl asked. “Of course, I’m the only one at the moment. Are you maybe….considering joining?” I asked, unable to hide my excitement. “Bingo. That is exactly why we are here.” The last of the three girls said. “Please, come in.” I said excitedly as I hurried them inside.

    “Now, I’m going to ask you three a series of questions, and I want you to answer them to the best of your abilities.” I explained. They nodded to show that they understood. “First, what is your name?” I asked the first girl. “My name is Ashley.” She said as she played with her long brown hair. She had a slender build, and was fairly tall. I looked at the second girl. “My name is Satsuki.” She said. This girl also had a slender build, but was a little shorter than Ashley, and black hair tied up in the back. I looked at the third girl. “My name is Mei Li.” She said as she cracked her knuckles. Like Satsuki, she had black hair, only shorter, and a slender build, and was in between the two as far as height was concerned. I nodded, and wrote their names down. “Now, what is your fighting style?” I asked Ashley. “I am an expert when it comes to weapons, though I usually stick with these two pistols.” She answered as she flashed two 9 millimeter pistols. I nodded and then looked at Satsuki. “I was born and raised in a family that taught their children the way of the ninja. Therefore my fighting style is based around my training.” She responded proudly. I nodded and looked over at Mei Li. “I am a master in many kinds of martial arts, and I rely on that knowledge in battle.” She responded calmly. “All right, that will do for now. I’ll ask you some more questions later, but for now, go upstairs and get some rest.” I said as I finished jotting down my notes. “Ok.” They all said in unison, and headed upstairs. ‘Finally, my dream has become a reality. The mafia is gonna have a rude awakening soon.’ I thought to my self as I laid down and closed my eyes.
