*Ugh! Where am I?*

Anzhong Hayashi questioned himself while slowly opening his eyes.

*My ears are closed, I can't hear anything*

Anzhong looked outside of the window to his left.

*I truly am sitting in a plane right now!*

He said while looking around for someone he might know.

(Anzhong?)

Someone from behind him said.

<Oh it's you Gordon>

Anzhong said relieved.

<What happened? Why are we on a plane?>

(You really don't remember do you?)

Gordon said while looking at him in disbelief

<No I- I don't>

Anzhong said with a sweating face.

(I told you that you should go see a doctor, it's getting worse)

<Yes, I know..>

The two of them stopped looking at each other and listened to the pilot saying that they're about to land.

*What's happening to me.. I knew it getting worse but how did I forget an event that took place a couple of hours ago*

(Yo Anzhong, it's all good man, you're aging you know.)

Gordon said in an sarcastic way.

<Shut up Gordon I'm not even 50 yet, plus our age gap isn't THAT big.>

(Not THAT big? Maaan you're like 20 years older than me!)

Gordon said and started laughing.

*These young people this days really don't know how to treat their seniors now do they?*

(Don't take it too serious man, I'm just kidding.)

Gordon said

Anzhong remained silent and took a look at his phone.

*Holy shit, it's already 10 pm and we didn't reserve a hotel room!*

<Gordon!>

(Yes sir! what did I do?!)

Gordon answered shocked.

<You didn't reserve a place to sleep for two now did you?>

(Ahhh that! We don't need to, did you also forget who you are? You're Anzhong Hayashi! You're the most known person in Japan and also extremely popular in USA!)

Gordon said.

<Yea I didn't know I'm THAT popular in USA that I can sleep without a reservation>

(Well you basically can't.. BUT I'm sure that the owner of an hotel will recognise you and let you sleep there!)

Gordon said in an optimistic way.

<We'll figure it out I guess...>

(Ladies and Gentlemen please make sure to put on you seatbelts because this plane will land in approximately two minutes!)

The pilot said.

Anzhong put on his seat belt and waited.

*Hmm let's think.. no that's bad.. that's also bad.. where the hell will I find a place to sleep at this hour?!*

Anzhong continued thinking about a place to sleep at. Quite unsuccessful..

(Get ready)

The pilot said.

The plane landed.

Anzhong made sure to take his stuff and not forget anything.

Anzhong left the plane and went to the airport together with Gordon.

Both were silent and knew where to go.

They picked up their package and went outside of the airport.

On the street outside, there was a limousine waiting for them.

(Here you go sir)

A bodyguard said to Anzhong while opening the door in the back.

Anzhong entered and Gordon right behind him.

<Yo Matthew, didn't see you in a long time man!>

(Yea I had a lot of stuff to do in the States so I couldn't visit you in Tokyo)

Matthew answered.

<How are your kids Matt?>

(They're doing great! Thanks for asking.)

Matthew answered.

The car started.

<So where exactly are we heading?>

(Don't you need a place to sleep?)

Matthew answered.

<How did you know?>

(I know your condition man, we know eachother since academy!)

Matthew replied.

<Thank you for all this>

(No need to thank me, I still owe you since that incident we had in Washington.)

Matthew said.

Gordon looked at Anzhong

(Who is this guy? he seems suspicious with those glasses and that suit of his.)

He whispered.

<No need to worry, I know him before you even knew how to walk>

Anzhong whispered back.

(See! Exactly those things make you seem older than you are.)

Gordon whispered.

*Alright now he's starting to piss me off.*

After 15 more minutes they finally arrived at their destination.

(Here we are, New York!)

Matthew said excited.

(I already arranged a place for you two to sleep)

He said.

Anzhong and Gordon looked relieved at eachother.

(You do know how to speak English now do you?)

Gordon asked with an very serious expression.

<[I studied that shit before you were born little man]>

Anzhong said in English.

([Alright then])

Gordon answered.

They stepped outside of the car and looked around.

*God damn this place is beautiful!*

(Alright, alright how about you stop admiring this place and start following me to your hotel.)

Matthew said.

They both followed him.

After 2 minutes of walking they arrived at their destination.

A 5-Star hotel.

*Couldn't expect less from Matt*

(So this is where our ways part Anzhong, maybe we'll see eachother again.)

Matthew said.

(Oh and don't forget to take care of your partner there!)

He mentioned.

<See you Matt, and thanks again.>

Matthew and his bodyguards walked away while Gordon and Anzhong entered the hotel.

([Oh hello and welcome to "Utopia"! How can I help you?])

A woman behind the counter asked.

<[We have a reservation here, I'm Anzhong Hayashi]>

He replied.

([Oh my god, sorry for being so impolite follow me to your rooms])

She said.

*She wasn't impolite in any way, what do people see as polite when talking to someone popular in this country?*

They followed her to an elevator.

The three of them entered.

*Let's see what floor Matt got us*

The lady pressed 101.

*Of course he would get us the best view possible*

He thought and chuckled quietly.

Anzhong looked at the woman and saw a sign on the left part of her chest.

It said Lia Roth.

<[Lia, why are there 101 floors instead of 100?]>

([Oh that's because floor 101 is a special floor where there isn't just a single room, but a pool, a casino, a gym and much more. It's much more different from the other floors.])

The elevator had finally arrived at floor 101.

*Alright let's see what she means by "much more different".*

The elevator door had opened and Lia stepped outside followed by Gordon and Anzhong.

(Whoa what the hell is this?!)

Gordon said surprised.

([Oh I didn't know you also knew Japanese.])

Lia said surprised.

([Oh sorry I forgot you can't])

Gordon said embarrassed.

(No worries I studied Japanese for 6 years now.)

Lia mentioned.

<That's good to know, you know my English skills are pretty.. shabby.>

Lia started chuckling.

(Alright so let me show you around)

Lia said while Anzhong and Gordon walked behind her.

(This right here is the living room, it's giant and it has 1 big bar and a jacuzzi added except for the other usual stuff. If we walk to the room on the left you'll find yourselves at the pool area. Going to the room on the left you'll see the gym with all of the newest equipment. Walking further you'll find your rooms. On the other side of the hallway there are all kinds of different rooms and activities you can do, but I'll let you find out for yourselves because I'm pretty sure you're both pretty exhausted aren't you?)

Lia explained.

<WOW.. well this is a lot of stuff for a single hotel floor isn't it?>

He said surprised.

(Yea I don't even know what to do first)

Gordon answered surprised as well.

(Well make sure to rest and call me if you need any help ok? See you tomorrow.)

Lia said while walking towards the elevator.

*This is a lot more than I expected to be honest.*

<Ayo Gordon!>

(Yes sir?)

Gordon answered.

<I'm going to head to my room I have to get my mind clear. How about the first job you'll get today is exploring the floor?>

(Already on it sir)

Gordon answered.

*Alright let's head to my room and get some sleep first of all.*

Gordon went to his room, changed his clothes and headed straight to bed.

*Let's see what's awaiting us tomorrow...*
