“.. and what is this? “ Evan glanced at the worn scrunched image now on the table with the palm of his hand brushed against it to straighten the image out. “Tony found it in the night watchmans wallet.
“Hyo Ho’ - Tokyo” ひょこはあなたの娘です
Whats with the Japanese script. Japanese not one of your language skills?” “Tickets to Tokyo are on you.. “
he grabbed his case started to pack stopping momentarily to turn to her.. “Cmon get packing! YOUR case is not going to pack itself.”
Sam grinned.. Seldom invited on his ‘quests’ as he called them. on the way to the airport; he had leaned in..
“You asked me if I was up for it.. question is ARE YOU! “ He pulled the photo from his pocket.
We need to find Hyo Ho.. though that could be a K.. Hyo Ko. - the script reads she is your daughter.!”
Sam, pulled her iPhone from her pocket. a few minutes later, talking to someone in Japanese..
Fluent and, debatable if it was better or worse than his. She had to admire him.. he could speak five languages..
FLUENTLY no wonder Steven had insisted she work with him, though the intimation was more ‘work for
him;’ Did he mean for Evan OR for Steven. Her as a cuckoo in the nest. She finished the call, usual greeting he was grinning watching her as she moved that bow.. ah yes.. the right angle, more laughter.
She shoved her knee against his.. “My Japanese is not that bad.” Ah once again the posture..
True Sam did a lot of business in and through Japan. “How will we find her. I mean there is a mere ..”
He was on the phone ignoring her..
Fluent but some element of casual Japanese ? Abbreviations that were rare and seldom used by those other than natural born Japanese.. Dialect. ah yes dialect with regional tones. So, the one he was sharing intimacy with was called Kaho..
Time of arrival and, some words she, did not, understand but, that echo in his voice the warmth and suggestive undertones,, A video link now established the expression on his face had changed.. to one she knew all too well and had come to love..
Greetings concluded, he had sent ‘Kaho’ some Kanji.. Symbolic and to her it was the way they signed off to prove it was either HER or HIM. The reply from Kaho was also of course; in Kanji.
To be continued..
