Overview:Six months later, Reiji has just taken down the No.2 man in the Gambino family in his latest assignment, leaving Inferno sole control of the East Coast and spreading fear to the criminal underworld. Claudia receives permission from McGuire to directly handle negotiations with the Godoh family in order to control the monopoly of exports to Japan. When she and Reiji go off to meet representatives of Godoh in Isaac's territory, they find that all the men, including some of Isaac's, are killed by a professional assassin. Reiji finds a passerby killed in the crossfire. When he returns later to the scene to mourn, he finds a girl named Cal Devens, who tells him that it was her sister Judy who was killed. She tells Reiji that she knows who killed Judy and insists on working with him to investigate. Reiji relents and takes Cal with him, as he feels an affinity with her since both their lives were destroyed by Inferno.
