On her monitor, Tikki sees a long black Nissan Ultima V limousine roll into 
the garage and glide to a gentle halt before the elevators. An instant later she 
hears a soft ding from her left. That is the other elevator, the one in service, 
now arriving at her level, the sublevel garage. She counts off the seconds...
one, two, three. A light flares on the portacomp. Her ears detect a soft 
rumbling. On the monitor, she sees the doors of the other elevator sliding open. 
A small group of five people steps out. The individual she awaits is a slim 
Asian male with the traits of old age: thin white hair, deeply wrinkled face, 
frail-looking hands. His name is Ryokai Naoshi and he is one of several ranking 
yakuza bosses targeted for assassination.
