Shuyja Kameki was just another lowlife living the highlife in the Yareli Night. He had a small operation under the Yakuza banner, and in turn worked a turf - generous in size - for the Yakeda family. Sometimes it did feel like he was his own boss, since all he had to do was move product fast enough, and keep his territory clean from encroaching families. The Triad conglomerate Xuy stayed away from Yakuza lately, because of the war that had raged the street against criminals and the national army itself. In the end, the bad element had won, lead buy the largest crime entity in Yareli, a family called Kageyama, lead by Yuji Honu, but mostly shepherded by his right hand man, Keijin Lenaka. While not the sole proprietors of elicit wares and favors in the night, the Yakuza were the most prominent because of this, if they hadn't been before.
So all Shuyja had to do was stay in line, which was a pretty good place for him, and make sure his underlings listened when he spoke. In Yareli, affectionately known was New City, your reputation was everything. And in the underworld, the worse it got, the better your pull. Shuyja had been put in charge after a very short stint as a legman exactly because he was ruthless. His youth kept him somewhat healthy despite the dreadful life he lead. Shadows under his eyes complimented the menacing bones in his face. Taller than most that had to listen to him, even if he wasn't the oldest. He got his suits made at a tailor who paid less protection money. Today it was just black with a green, sheer shirt underneath to show off his tattoos. He was Yakuza, he wasn't expected to play by any sartorial rules, other than to look a little serious when his bosses came around.
It was one of these matters now, almost. A reputation thing. Not just his own, but about someone else, someone new. This motherfucker had been slacking on bringing in some deals. They had to hire a lot of shit people to move product, and some of them - you fucking guessed it - tried to run with the wares of even use it all up themselves. There was a set way to deal with them, a latter that started with intimidation and ended in the river that split New City. Or worse. You'd become an example by one of the hired guys that did big bloody scenes. The guy Shuyja had to deal with today was nothing special. He was just honestly a real fuckup by the looks of it. He'd been doing leg man shit and stumbled, and then even failed to hit deadlines for supplies. On more than one occasion he'd been approached about it, and he still had the wares on it - so he didn't use, steal or sell. He just couldn't do what he was told fast enough.
So Shuyja had to think he was just daft. No ill will. No real lack of loyalty. But being really unskilled could be a real problem. It might have been easier if he'd been skimming off the top. Then Shuyja would just donate a bullet to his forehead and rid himself of the headache. Ah, it was time to educate this little shit, he supposed, and then get ready for the rest of the night. He was going to partake in some recreation, which always meant beating his liver up while being balls deep in something pretty. Perks of the job. Yeah, that's what he was going to reward himself with when he was done with this hazing. Who knew, if the guy talked back, maybe there'd be use for a bullet after all? Shuyja had the small colt on the table in front of him. His warehouse office was stocked with a couple of crates of weapons, to make a stand if someone wanted to walk into this officially abandoned factory on the outskirts of Yareli proper, because they wanted to expand. Green and white lights in here, and two large men lounging on couches that didn't match anything. On what used to be the factory floor there'd be a few deals going on, and some storage for the bigger moves that he didn't have much to do with.
He reclined and pulled up a cigarillo and lit it, sucked and puffed until he thought it was pleasantly glowing from the other end. He sighed and crossed lacquered shoes on the table beside the gun. "Alright, fuck then, bring the shit in so we can get this over with." he said and waved the burning roll at one of the men on one of the couches. Danny. He was heavy but he moved quick. He was a good soldier when you needed him. They ordered his steroids special off the Ruskies. Danny sure as shit could handle bringing the fuckup here, since they'd told him to show up around now, and wait on the factory floor.
