Akio raised his lap top slightly and turned slowly.  "This way," he said.  He led the team down a small alley, the usual trash and vomit was somewhat obscured by the pounding rain.  As they exited the other end of the alley, they saw Elias next to an attractive young woman who seemed to be cleaning his face.  Nearby a man held a second man in some kind of armlock. The younger, cleaner man seemed to be talking, while the other man howled and twisted, trying to escape.

Akio stopped and stared for a moment, looking at his laptop.  He muttered something in Japanese that Michiko could barely make out as, "More of them?  How can this be?"
