Saito studied the names Mr. T had forwarded, musing over his options. Most of them sounded safe enough to shake down or negotiate with; a dealer, a worker and a hacker. As Oracle volunteered to approach Lil’ Red, he struck it off the list. No point double working; Saito was sure she could handle the lone hacker herself. 

The yakuza lead could prove troublesome. He had no doubt that any one of his team members were a match for a Kyodai one-on-one, especially (as it turned out) if Grizzly was going to be the one dealing with Mao. But the underboss commanded considerable men and material by himself, not to mention the possibility that things could escalate and drag his superiors in. 

“[color=00aeef]I’ll back you up Grizzly. One does not simply walk into yakuza business. Two is a more auspicious number,[/color]” Saito chimed in before glancing over his teammate’s extensive arsenal. “[color=00aeef]Being literally armed to the teeth helps, of course.[/color]” Since the American had professed previous dealings with the yakuza, for once Saito would shut up and let someone else do the talking.
