A CAT HAS 9 LIVES JERICHO'S MEMORIES
" Hey, idiot," a familiar voice woke me up. " What are you doing? Wake up." I opened my eyes slightly and saw Israel standing over me. I groaned and sat up. " Not you again." Israel regarded me without enthusiasm. " You got shot again?" " Multiple times, thank you," I said and stood to my feet. " How many lives have I got now?" " Seven," Israel said and be suddenly looked angry. " Can't you go over a year without dying? You're wasting lives." " Well I think I could've lasted a little longer if your beloved brother hadn't drilled my entire body with bullets." Israel narrowed his eyes. " Umberto?" " Yeah," I folded my arms. " The bastard's the one who gave Pepi orders to shoot you the night you died." Israel and I were inside a room I suddenly recognized. It was Smitten's living room. " Say, why are we here?" I asked when he didn't reply me. He wandered off to the settee in the room and sat down. " We're here to know the truth," he answered. " Tell me what happened. I want

Umberto returned home to his villa about an hour ago. He had immersed himself into a hot bath and had completely forgotten about everything that happened that night. The bath was an indoor steam pool which Umberto had spent an incredible amount of money to construct. He sighed as he felt the stress of the night being relieved off him. His mind quickly drifted off to his great plans. He smiled at the thought. He had his major problem taken care of. What was left would be a piece of cake. Just then, his butler knocked on the door. " Senor, there's a phone call for you. It's from a Japanese woman. She wishes to speak to you." " That must be Nagisa," Umberto said to himself. Then he raised his voice. " Put her through, I'll speak to her in here." Within an arm reach from the steam pool, was the telephone. Umberto reached for it and placed the receiver on his ears. " Hello, Nagisa?" He said, then frowned. " Of course he's dead. Why do you have so little fate in me. We confirmed th
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES UMBERTO CONFESSES
I stood over Umberto, the rat dangling in my hand. Umberto raised his voice. " Wait, wait, wait. I'll tell you everything you need to know about the Capellos, about Lorelei, everything."I cocked my head to one side. " Huh? Everything?"Umberto swallowed, he was sweating like a pig. " Yes. Everything."I stared down at him for a long time. I was sure he was just as scared of the rats than he was scared of dying. " Alright," I drew out a chair and sat before him. I still held the rat in my hand. " I've got lots of questions and I'd want some really good answers."Umberto replied sharply. " You got it. Now unbind me from these chains."I raised my hand up. " Not yet. My questions must all be answered before I decide wether to let you go or not," I paused, while I studied him. " Why did you have me killed weeks ago before now?"Umberto hesitated but the sight of that rat decided him. " Well, because Lorelei and I shared the same interest."" What common interests?" I asked. " We wante

Hi, my name's Jericho Clay and I'm a sixty-five years old farmer. I got murdered by my wife and my best friend and was suddenly reincarnated into the body of one of the most ruthless Mafia boss of all time, Giovanni Israel. It was fun while it lasted. More importantly, I've got nine lives to save Israel's criminal empire from the clutches of the mysterious Lorelei Capello. No joke, I got to discover one of Israel's brothers was a traitor but I handled him just right. Now I have a new mission. The mission in Tokyo Japan. I was going to find Nagisa, a frontman to Lorelei. I have no idea what's in store for me but I'm pumped up for action. Closing my journal, I put it away and ran my hands over my face. I reached out for my cigarette case and took out a cigarette and burned the end up. Drawing in the rich smoke, I sighed contently and relaxed more in my chair. Man I felt great. Israel's customized cigarette was one in a million but the cost of these cigarette was highway robber

The Mercedes Benz pulled up before a cheap hotel. Tipping my hat to completely cover my face, I came out of the car, I grabbed my briefcase and ran up the flight of stairs to the lobby. Sienna drove the Mercedes further towards the parking lot to put it away. The receptionist was this fat smiling Japanese guy who gave me the creeps. Knife stood waiting at the counter for me. The moment Knife saw me, his face brightened. He hurried over to me and quickly grabbed my briefcase. " Great to see you again, boss," he said and his face told me how much he meant it. If I hadn't been spooked twenty minutes ago, I'd have given him back the same energy. But I wasn't in such a damn cheerful mood. I grunted and walked passed him and the receptionist. Knife hurried into the elevator before it shut. As the elevator rode us up to the sixth floor, Knife began talking. " It's been hell sticking around with that Ginny broad. She's causing me a hell of Trouble. Glad you came just in time. I'd
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES YOU'RE NOT ISRAEL, ARE YOU?
I walked into the room, my free hand holding the end of my cigarette. Knife, Ginny and Sienna were waiting for me. They all looked up as I walked in. I didn't wait for anyone. I began talking. " Alright, everyone listen up. I arranged for this meeting cause we're on a special mission." I paused to let that sink into their skulls. When no one answered, I proceeded. To Ginny, I asked, " what've you got for me, Ginny?" Ginny had grown thinner. I could tell the snow made her that way. Still, Ginny wasn't the type to go less attractive. She was always attractive wether thin, fat or slim. Ginny crushed her cigarette. She was seated beside the window. " Nothing special. I showed knife Nagisa's home. Her family are made up of numerous families all together. Uncles, grandparents, aunties, cousins and so on. It's an extended family. They're scattered across Japan. Nagisa lives with her Uncle. She works as a geisha at her uncle's Chashitsu." I frowned. " What's a Chashitsu?" " A Cha

" YOU'RE NOT ISRAEL, ARE YOU?!" She asked. I felt cold fingers crawling up my spine. " What did you say?!"" Jericho," Sienna said. " You must be Jericho, is that correct?!"**Sienna had driven me away from the hotel in her Mercedes. She believed the walls have ears and decided we should talk where we'd never be heard. We arrived at a small Japanese outdoor restaurant where Sienna ordered Shioyaki and beer. Shioyaki was simply salt-grilled fish on a stick. " It may look like a simple ‘fish-on-a-stick," Sienna said as the waiter dropped the dishes on the table and bowed out. " But there’s more to shioyaki than meets the eye. The fish has been ‘salt-grilled’, a particular Japanese technique that sees the fish, usually heavily-salted mackerel, left to marinade overnight and then grilled over flames the next morning."I picked a stick and opened my mouth to take a bite." Be warned," she said sharply. " Shioyaki is super salty. But it's perfectly accompaniment to an ice cold jug of
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES THE POISON LOTUS
What is it like to spend an evening with a geisha? I recently got to do this. Horuto, Nagisa's uncle was organising an evening with a couple of geishas in a private tea house, of which he was the owner.A Toyota 2000GT drove outside the Horuto's chashitsu. I came down the car and tossed the keys to a waiting grinning Japanese servant boy. " Take care of her," I said to him and adjusted my suit. The boy nodded and bowed. There's one thing I love about Japan. They do know a lot about accuracy and order. I've enjoyed their parking service. It's nice. I stared at Haruto's Chashitsu. It was just as Knife had described it to me. Chashitsu is a Japanese architectural space designed to be used for tea ceremony gatherings. Aside the teas, Haruto's Chashitsu also has an onsen. An onsen is a natural hot spring bath, and thanks to its plentiful volcanic activity Japan has lots of them. Onsen water is geothermally heated beneath the ground and rises to the surface bubbling hot. Haruto st

The garden was beautiful, possessing big hedges on all places. Lorelei walked down the pavement down a stairs where he stood over a balcony. He adjusted his spectacles as his eyes studied the girls below.Little girls, not less than twelve years old and above wandered around the love

" Tell me the truth," I said. " Is Lorelei in South Africa?"Nagisa was lying flat on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. The thin sunlight coming through the mist highlighted her dark hair and deepened the shadows under her eyes. She didn't say anything. I could see she was hesitating. My lips lifted up in a mean smile. " You wouldn't say anything, would you?"She remained silent. I sighed. " Oh dear, it can't be helped could it?" Then I stood up and walked over to the tray of Knives on the table. " How about we play a game, Nagisa. For every question I ask you, if I don't get a valid answer, I cut off your fingers."Even that, didn't seemed to shake her. " What makes you think he isn't in South Africa?"" Now don't be difficult," I returned back to her with a razor sharp knife. " The fake Nagisa you set me up with told me Lorelei's in South Africa but I don't believe it. I think she's lying. What the hell, she is lying, isn't she?"Nagisa's white face was regaining it's colour no

I came over towards the bed and sat down beside Nagisa. She shriveled at the sight of me. I glanced down at her and smiled at her pretty face. I've never seen anyone so frightened like the way she was frightened. Her lips trembled as she spoke. " What's happening? Who're you?"It's funny isn't it? How many people who'd killed me always asked me that very same question. This power is amazing. You could get killed by your enemy and then when you return back to life, they start asking who you are. As if it were the first time seeing you in their life." I'm Israel," I said. " Your Nemesis."I was putting into words exactly what Lorelei had said to me. Now it's being directed to Nagisa. Nagisa gulped. " You're a ghost?"" More or less," I said. " Surprised?"Her eyes widened. " There were two of you. How's that possible?"I didn't want to get into details how I've worked everything out under her nose to capture her. It wasn't necessary. I needed something from her and I'm gonna get it
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES THE SUCKER PUNCH
Let me take your mind back how it all happened. As I do so well. Everything was all planned out before I even got on my flight to Tokyo. When I mentioned I trusted Ginny, I did actually trust her. Why did I trust her? Well simply because she threw in with me and was willing to dump her former boss. Also, I got to realized she had a thing for me. Call it love if you like but I know when a woman's got hot pants for a man when I see one. Ginny didn't hide the fact that she liked me. Before my private jet landed in Rome, Knife and Ginny and I had already outlined the structure of our plans. Apparently, Ginny had exposed Nagisa's biggest secret. Nagisa wasn't just a poison expert, but she also had an incredible art in creating doppelgangers. She transformed young beautiful women to look exactly like her through the art of make-up. It's not rocket science nor magic. It's just pure art. I got to learn Nagisa did a six years course on theatre art. She was also a teacher in that field, t
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES IS SHE OUT?
Lorelei studied me for a long moment. My bet was he must be viewing me from a screen. I spotted a camera recording at the far corner of the wall. " Giovanni Israel," he said in a voice you could crack a nut on. " How long do you hope to hunt me down?"" Not as long as I hoped for," I said mildly. " Never thought you were a man all along."Lorelei laughed. It was uncanny how easy it was to converse with him without seeing his face. I really wished above all things to look at that bàstard's face. " Very funny, Israel," he said. " Which is why I've kept under cover all these years. My anonymous nature keeps me in the clear which is why it's difficult for you to catch me."I noticed Nagisa was preparing her poison. She didn't give me a second glance. " How does it feel, Israel," Lorelei said. " To be cornered like a rat?"" Feels horrible," I said. " Funny as it sounds but I've been through this road before."Lorelei could be smiling behind that screen. " I see you still have your sens
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES I AM LORELEI, YOUR NEMESIS
BANG!!!! A gunfire went off. I stopped in my tracks and fell on both knees. One of the Ninjas held me at gunpoint. He had driven a bullet into my left leg to stop me from reaching Nagisa. Quavering with rage and fury, I snarled at Ginny. " I should've killed you when I had the chance, you two-faced bítch."Ginny smirked. " Sorry, handsome. I cannot betray the Capellos. You can't serve two masters at the same time. I choose to serve Lorelei till the end of my life."I gritted in pains as my bullet wound began to heal. The bullet pulled out from my leg and dropped to the ground. Nagisa watched all these with rising interest. She was so calm and quiet, she scared me. " Where're the others?" She asked the Ninja with the gun. Her Japanese was strong and impressive when she speaks. Surprisingly, I could interpret the language as if it were English. " My men are hunting the Sienna woman. Regrettably, we lost the fat man."The were talking about Sienna and Knife. Nagisa asked quietly.
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES TRAITOR
" How did it come to this?" I asked myself. " How did I ended up losing myself back there?"I remained seated on the chair, alone with my own thoughts. Lying lifelessly on the ground was Nagisa–dead. I didn't want to kill her. I had plans to use her in the future but Israel killed her before I could stop him.Why had he killed her?Was it because I resisted him from shooting Sienna? Or was it a means to threaten Sienna that he meant what he said about Killing her?Raising my hand to my face, I glared at the gun I had used to shoot Nagisa. These hands have been stained with too many blood. Was this what it felt like to be Israel?Sienna had been quiet after I had finally settled down. She left an hour ago and hadn't returned back. Knife and Ginny had heard the gunshots from outside but they didn't bother barging in. I was disgust with myself. I was disgusted because I realized I was losing my self. This wasn't me anymore. I was fast becoming an uncontrollable monster. No not a mons

I lit another cigarette and leaned against the barrister rail, overlooking the vast ocean. The moon was out with glittering stars across the waters. It was a lovely night. Perfect for love making, that is if you're crazy about séx under the moonlight. As I smoked, my mind came back to the conversation Nagisa and I had just had. It came as a shock to me when Nagisa revealed to me Lorelei was a man. It was the last thing I expected. I mean all these time, Israel must've been busy searching for a woman when in actual fact, he should be after a man. My reaction to this news showed my shock. I recalled our interrogating session:" Lorelei is a man?" I had asked, clenching hold of the arm of my chair and leaning forward at Nagisa. " How is Lorelei a man?"" He's a man all right," Nagisa said. " Don't ask me how? I don't know. He chose that name to keep his enemies off balance and confused. Taking the name of a woman gave him liberty to walk around freely without being targeted by his en
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES LORELEI'S A MAN?
Nagisa sat at the back while Knife drove. I sat beside her, sticking the tip of my gun under her rib cage. I had taken the trouble of having her handcuffed. She wouldn't be causing any trouble as long as I had her hands cuffed behind her back. Sienna sat at the passenger seat at the front. She kept staring at Nagisa and I through the rear mirror. It had been a smooth operation. We sneaked out of the Chashitsu before the servants would realize the massacre. None of us said anything to each other during the long drive. You could feel the tight tension in the car.Suddenly, Nagisa spoke, " Where're we going?"I didn't know if to answer her or not. Knife glared at her through the rear mirror. His expression told me he disapproved of her greatly." Shut up," I said, threatening her with the gun. " I don't wanna pull a bullet through your heart."Nagisa smirked at me. " Try it. You wouldn't dare open fire in traffic. If you do, you'd be inviting the cops."The traffic was getting slow. Th
