The alarm clock went off she slammed the snooze button. Five minutes later there was a blast of music.
"I wanna rock and roll all night!!! And party every day!!! I wanna..."
She slammed the snooze button again and this time she got up put took a bath tied her hair with a hair with bangs sticking out on her forehead brushed her teeth. Got in her car she was still angry about the incident back at the restaurant. She turned on the radio to keep her mind off it while she was driving.
"Aw, shit man my head hurts like a bitch," D'Andre complained and took some aspirin.
"Shut up! I can't believe you didn't invite me to the hottest club in L.A.," Lupe hissed clutching her coffee cup and drinking it.  "Who cares they don't let ho's in any way, got damn my headache," D'Andre held his forehead.  Lupe was about to say something.
"In my opinion you should drink a glass of water after you drink some beer it keeps you from getting dehydrated the morning after," Mira came in walking in with some coffee and a doughnut courtesy from the vending machines at the break room.
"Hey, boo what's up somethin' wrong," Dee said looking at her.
"Naw, nothing," Mira said taking a bite out of the sprinkled doughnut.
"See nothing's wrong with her," Lupe sitting down at her desk.
"Yes, there is just look at her eyes, tain't got that spark that they usually do," D'Andre was looking at Mira. Mira was also at her desk trying to avoid looking at him he had these weird dark eyes that were warm and comforting she could always trust him instead Lupe. With Lupe there was this weird vibe she didn't like at all she was a good friend overall but something else lingered.
"D'Andre, Lupe, Mira in here now," Byron said. The three of them groaned and went in there were a screen projector running and three files on the table. "Take your pick there all the same," Byron said sitting down. The three did the same with the exception of Lupe slouching down and got out a stick of winter fresh and started to chew on it. They all knew this annoyed Byron. He ignored her and started. "Well, I must I hope you all enjoyed your little two week vacation," Byron said cheerfully, "Now, then on to business shall we?"

"Yay," the three agents said in a flat tone.
"Anyway, we've gotten a very surprising news lately people one of our best friends is back his name Kazuya Mishima former head of the Mishima Financial Empire," Byron showed a picture of Kazuya at an airport, "has been resurrected by the G corporation the last time we heard of him was that he thrown off a volcano by Heihachi Mishima in the second King of Iron Fist tournament," he showed picture of Heihachi Mishima, "Now we know to the fourth time the tournament has been presented..." Lupe suddenly interrupted Byron.
"So what does this have to do with the us?" Lupe asked chewing her gum like a cow chewing tasty cud. 
"I'll get to that in a minute and sit up you look like a turd going down the toilet and stop chewing your gum like a camel," Byron said D'Andre and Mira we're giggling, Lupe just stuck her tongue out and sat up spit her gum strait to the wastebasket. "To start out with Heihachi and Kazuya are real big time bad assess they got crimes up the Yin Yang."
"What you three need to do is to go to Japan where the tournament is going to be held check on them something bad always comes out of these tournaments. See what's up if you see anything suspicious check on it but be discreet. Now D'Andre, Lupe you two are going to pose as a tourist couple in the hotel that the fighters are going to stay and to check on Mira's progress. Mira, you're a participant I already have you entered in it. Like always Lupe and D'Andre will in charge of the surveillance equipment and to provide anything that you need. So pack your bags and get some sleep because you're going to Japan tomorrow. Be at the airport at 9:00 a.m. you'll have someone guide you to the jet where the surveillance equipment will be there. Just bring what your going to wear for two weeks, and I almost forgot Mira your profile," he handed Mira the profile, "And to top things off have a nice day," Byron finished and left the room.

"Oh great now I got to feed on sushi for like what? Two weeks," D'Andre grunted out.
"They have fast food over there. Dumb ass," Lupe shot at him. "Anyway, so Mira what are you going to do today besides pray that you don't get your ass kicked by some big time martial artist?"
"Well, Lupe first I'm not going to get my ass kicked, second that's if I let him or her kick my ass, third I'm going to start packing as soon as I get home, and by the way what are you going to do wait, I can imagine have on romantic night with Julio that waiter at the restaurant we usually go to," Mira looked at with a cold stare Lupe, Lupe knew that Mira had a crush on Julio.
"What? Well..Um," Lupe knew she was cornered she hated when she got nailed.
"No."
"Oh, really then explain my this, how come I went in the back of the restaurant to see where the hell you were and I saw you with Julio like dogs in heat making out!" Mira jumped up and pointed at Lupe accusingly.
"All right! I've been going out with him for two weeks I couldn't help it! He's asked me out! No pude rechazarlo! (I couldn't refuse him)" Lupe confessed. She cracked. She knew she cracked.
"Hey I thought you two said no speaking Spanish in front of me!" D'Andre shouted.
Mira and Lupe looked at him "SHUT UP!"
"I can't believe you! You didn't even give me a chance! How could you? The next I need to know was that he was in your pants!" Mira was furious and saw the Lupe was starring at the floor with shame. "Oh my god! You did it with him! After you promised me other not to flirt or go out with him because I liked him!"
Mira wanted so bad to lunge at Lupe and strangle her. "Mira! I haven't had a any for three months, well now I do but at least I take a chances unlike you Miss I can't get a man because I'm too afraid to commit!" Lupe shot back her there was a sudden eerie silence.
"At least I didn't sleep with half of the world you loose bitch!" Mira snapped.
"Oh no you didn't! You wanna start something cuz if you do I'll finish for you," Lupe putting her fists up.
"All right then bitch! Bring it on!" Mira got into a fighting stance.
"Calm down! Both of you! Ain't no need to be fightin' over a man," D'Andre started to back them up away from each other. "Now Lupe you should of respected Mira and not gone out with Julio. You'd should of first of consulted Mira about this so you could of gotten Mira's opinion about this, and Mira no need to call Lupe loose, but stick with bitch."
"Shut up! At least I don't have to pay for sex," Lupe snapped at him. Mira busted out laughing. Lupe smiled "I know its funny because it's true." Mira was laughing harder then she calm down.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't be like even this does hurt me a lot and if you want to be with him and it make you happy I guess then I should be happy," Mira gave a hug to Lupe the feeling of rage now replaced with regret.
"It's okay, well I got to back to my house I gots to get to packin', bye." Lupe headed out the room as so did Mira and D'Andre. 
After finishing some minor things at the agency she came back to her apartment grabbed a suitcase from under her bed and started packing the clothes she was going to wear she pondering 'How come he chose her instead of me? I'm not fat. I don't dress explicitly. Oh, jeez when am I going to learn to stop having my head in the clouds? I'm twenty-one I have a long way to go I shouldn't be crazy about some guy. I should focus now I'm on assignment now I can't be foolin' around, and besides why the hell should I even care. It's not like I need one, but then again it would be nice too.. I'm so stupid I can never go out with anyone! And even if I did it would end up just like all my other relationships first they say it's oh your so amazing your so pretty, then so you're we're not going to go out tonight, you know what! I'm sick and tired of always being blown off are you cheating on me?! And the argument roll on and on it's because of my damn work maybe I should quit. Nah, I shouldn't with the money that they pay me and I have a nice apartment and I can't think of being anything else. Maybe, I should be a psychic I'm pretty good at guessing stuff. Sheish! That'll be the day! Shit! I got lost in my thoughts again better get back to packing.'

  It was the next day the all arrived and were greeted by a man named Dave. "Did you all bring your bags," He asked. They all answered him they all showed their passports in customs they all checked out and got on the jet bound for Tokyo. They arrived in Tokyo they heard the woman on the intercom announcing flights from L.A. where they came from, Brisbane, and San Francisco.
"I'm gonna go to the ladies room where every the hell it is Dee can you take care of my luggage," Lupe went off for a search of the ladies room.
"Well I'm starvin' so I'm gonna get some grub over there aight, can you take care of Lupe's luggage and mine," D'Andre went to the snack bar.
"Aight," Mira wander her eyes around the place she mostly saw business men talking on their cell phones or tapping away at there laptops waiting for there flight. Not, to mention all the tourists coming and going around the place. Her eyes stopped she saw a hooded man was staring at her deeply she started at him back the same way then, playfully stuck her tongue out and smiled at him. She saw small smile form around his lips. Mira giggled then an odd vibe struck her face changed its was the color of a sickening white she sat down her head was hanging down she closed her eyes she knew what was happening her heart racing, face feeling cold, her eyes on fire, the trance of not being able to open her eyes till it was over. Everything went dark and mute a slow buzzing sound was heard its was getting closer she was hearing a voice 'You can't stop me! I'll kill you bitch! I'll kill you!!!' She felt like if hands were on her throat and she was suffocating.
"Mira you okay," D'Andre shook Mira, "You look sick want some of my burger?"
"No, no thanks," Mira got up still a little shaken.
"Man! I had to pay 3 dollas for this friggin' burger, man back in L.A. Aw, shit never mind where's Lupe did she come back?" He was looking around and finished wolfing down his burger.
"No, but come on I know where to find her," Mira had the weird feeling every time she tired to look for someone she knew and always found them with the help of that weird feeling, she swung her duffle bag over her shoulder.
"Damn, Mira you walking' like if you've been here," D'Andre was walking around with his luggage and Lupe's.
"Just using my intuition, hey there's the restrooms I'll go in you stay here aight," Mira went in to see if Lupe was there. "Lupe ya there?"
"Yeah I'm here hold on," Lupe came out of the stall and started to wash her hands "Hey, dude you look a little pale you okay?" Lupe getting concerned of her friend's health.
"I'm fine, come on girl let's go been waitin' fo' ya," Mira tugging Lupe.
"All right then," Lupe followed Mira.
They exited the restroom and they saw D'Andre flirting with a Japanese woman. "Watch me," Lupe whispered to Mira and started to walk towards D'Andre's direction. "Excuse me why are you flirting with my husband?!" Lupe demanded.
"You said you were a widower!" the woman turned at D'Andre, "You self-centered pig!" The woman stormed away.
"Nah, baby it ain't even like that! Ey! Come back! Damn it Lupe!" D'Andre snapped at Lupe.
She giggled and playfully hugged his waist and said "Hey were newly weds remember?"
"Since were newlyweds you can help me with the luggage," D'Andre gave Lupe her luggage.
"Okay you two calm down, let's go you know what the dude on the plane said there's people waiting for us in the parking lot," Mira started to head to the parking lot, Lupe and D'Andre followed. "I'm sorry," Mira had accidentally bumped into someone it was that guy she met earlier. He simply smiled at her and kept going on his way. 'What a freaky feeling I got from him who is he???' Mira but at the same time something intrigued her about him she started at him until he disappear into the crowd.
"Hello! Earth to Mira, what you got a crush on that guy that bumped in to ya?" Lupe was waving her hand around Mira's face.
"Huh? What! No! It's just that he seemed so familiar that's all. You know how I am! I'm the man repeller remember. Since when did I have a date huh?" Mira nearly snapped at the thought of that she always acted like an idiot when she liked a guy.
"Um" Lupe said thinking, "Hey there's the parking lot."
A man came to Mira and shook her hand during the shake he gave her some keys "Take good care of it, the company has been on everyone's ass about this issue the car is the mustang in front of you good luck don't get your ass kicked," He left.
'Must have been one of the agents stationed here' she thought she started the car she had been to China and the streets of Japan where no different accept for the different writings and she had a GPS with her so she knew where to reach the hotel she started to car she noticed some one dressed as a pimp whispering something to D'Andre probably the same thing that they told her. She started to drive the streets were helluva crowded she still saw a few tourist in tour buses but she saw mostly what Lupe called "rice eaters" its was all in good humor about that. It was weird driving on the opposite side of the road but she'd have to get used to it. Feeling a little home sick she reached for her bag that was in the back of her seat took out her CD and started to listen to Faith Evans - The Good Life She started to feel really nostalgic.
"Oh well," she thought driving her way through traffic "I'll be back in Cali soon this as this tournament over sides it'll last two weeks. Tops. What could possibly happen its just a tournament and assignment what could possibly happen?"
