Jingbai City Supermarket Sweep

An intelligence source, codename "Hagībea." (Ok so its Huggy bear in Japanese!) has revealed that an Assassination team known as Chikaru's Angels have arrived in Jingbai City.  Their target is unknown but the Police Department are on high alert.

Meantime Sergeant Arakai and his sidekick Ito, of the Special Task Unit* have arrived at a Jingbai SuperMart store following a lead.   It's been reported that one of the trolley collectors resembles the published CVTV images of the Jingbai Ghoul.  Seems unlikely but this is a good chance to pick up some Pica-Pica Mega soda, the soda that keeps you going...  the Department, and especially Ito, are all crazy for the stuff.  

Once inside the store however it immediately becomes clear that something is very wrong.  Call for back up, these babes are tooled up.

*The Special Task Unit comprises just these two Officers and is widely viewed as a punishment posting.

STREET THUGS

What's really going on?

1.  A trolley collecting guy out back is actually the long lost son of Chikaru, the international assassin, and she wants him captured.

2.  The trolley boy has an innate psychic talent.  The Assassins want to capture him to use him as a weapon.

3.  The Ghoul does work here as his alternate identity, Baldy Beito the trolley guy.  The Angels are here to capture him for their boss. 

4.  A single can of the Pica-Pica Monster drink has been poisoned, as part of a Yakusa gambling game.  All bets are in and the Assassins are here to keep the game fair.  Who will be the Unlucky customer?

5.  The Supermarket was built over the ruins of an ancient Temple to Hachiman, and an artefact has appeared on the shelves on aisle six, whispering "Take the weapon, become the Avatar of the War God, bet on 17 Red"

6.  The entire Supermarket store is a front for the Assassins League.  The five women working here are the real Chicaru's Angels assassins, and the Jingbai Ghoul is Chicaru himself.

The boys get into to SuperMart and Ito searches for a can of Pica-Pica Soda

They notice that there are some very sassy looking lady customers in here today.  

And the trolley boys activate on that roll of 1.  Turns out this is the Ghoul's crew.

The two cops confront the Ghoul and his men, draw and open fire.

The bad guys are driven back.

I roll the "What's going on."  Normal day in Jingbai City.

But one of the goons has a shotgun.  The two cops duck back into cover from those shock dice.  

The Ghoul heads for the back door, but the Angels are about to act.

The Ghoul's men are knocked down.  The Angel's close in.

And a few well aimed shots drive the cops back into cover.

Gogo attacks the Ghoul.  That sword work is +2 

The Ghoul fights back, but he's not up to it.

The Ghoul is subdued and bundled into a car boot.  He is being taken for a meeting with Chikaru, the Angel's sinister employer.  The Cops lost this one big time.
