((OOC: Hoping everything's getting better now. Anyway, I figured a time jump was in order? ))
To the outside world, things were business as usual with the Shimada clan and with Hanzo himself. For weeks now, the machinery of the family's various enterprises, both legal and not, continued turning. There had been no further actions taken by the Shimada against Stromberg or the clan for which the man worked, and no signs of coming retaliation. Surely, Hanzo expected, that particular pack of enemies were comfortably certain of being untouchable.
That arrogance would make destroying them all the more satisfying.
Hanzo's phone chimed, the screen announcing a call from Abel. It had proved an unexpected challenge over the past few weeks, having Abel away for the better part of each weekday undercover at the school, and in her efforts to befriend and eventually seduce Stromberg's daughter, Maria. Both he and his adopted daughter had grown accustomed to the other's constant presence, it seemed, requiring intense and extended fucking at night and over the weekends to compensate.
School had just let out for the day, so this call would be Abel's regular check-in and update. By all accounts, she was moving swiftly and effectively, so Hanzo was expecting good news. He picked up his phone and tapped the screen before lifting it to his ear.
OMG nothing at all to worry about. You know I know how it goes.

"Hello?"
