Rainbow Six Siege: Lazarus

Chapter 3: Razaro

*11 years prior.*

A sixteen year old Luke is on his knees not moving a muscle as he's sitting before his parents who were both shot and murdered by some common street thug. Tears roll down his face as his parent's blood is getting closer to him.

???: "Luke Okano." An older but gentle Japanese man says as Luke slowly looks to his right seeing him. "Everything's gonna be okay." He says offering his hand as Luke looks reluctant to accept but it's when Luke snaps out of the dream breathing heavily as the nurse checking on him yelps.

Luke (Japanese): "where the hell am I?" He asks seeing that he's in a patient gown as the nurse calls for the doctor who arrives.

Doctor (Japanese): "awake at last, how you feeling?"

Luke (Japanese): "fine, why am I here though?" He asks as the Doctor crosses his arms.

Doctor (Japanese): "I was hoping you could tell me Okano-San." He says as Luke sighs thinking on the fly.

Luke (Japanese): "it was a long night of odd jobs, I lost track of time and I tried walk my way home but passed out." He replies softly and soon asks who brought him here.

Doctor (Japanese): "taxi driver, we can give you her information."

Luke (Japanese): "thank you but I'd like to put on some actual clothes please." He says with respect as the doctor motions him to the bathroom. Luke heads inside to get changed into his clothes which have been dried.

He soon leaves the hospital once he signs the paperwork and steps outside. He checks his watch seeing that it's 2:20 PM.

Luke: "crap, I need to work fast... Cause Kali would've sent a chopper thanks to last night." He says calling a taxi and enters as the driver looks in surprise. "Uh... Hi?" He asks in Japanese.

Taxi driver (Japanese): "you, you're that guy I saw last night, passed out in the middle of the road." She says as Luke realizes who she is.

Luke (Japanese): "well... Thanks for the pick-up, could you take me here?" He asks showing the location as the driver nods and begins driving as it's mostly calm till they arrive at the location. "thank you, here." He says paying her way more than a taxi gets as she is stunned.

Taxi driver (Japanese): "I can't take this, this is way too much." She says modestly as Luke stands next to the driver's seat.

Luke (Japanese): "I'm just rewarding you for great service." He says smiling a bit as the taxi driver sighs reluctantly. "my name's Luke Okano."

Taxi driver (Japanese): "oh uh, Akira Sato... This where you live?" She asks as Luke replies with kinda. "Does... Anyone live with you?"

Luke (Japanese): "not... At the moment." He says as Akira acknowledges this and takes her leave with Luke entering the rather empty building as he stops before a work bench placing Ace's pistol on the work bench.

He begins taking it apart with an idea in mind. Meanwhile Azami is walking around a docking port as there were reports of an explosion here. She doesn't find much of anything worthy of note while Hibana is questioning some of the workers.

Hibana (Japanese): "this... Shadow you saw, do you think it's the one responsible for the explosion?" She asks as Azami climbs up a ladder to the roof top of a building.

Azami kneels down not finding much of anything till she finds a pair of binoculars as she picks them up examining it closely.

Azami (Japanese): "hmm." She says as her eyes widen seeing an engraving of Japanese characters. "Oh no... Yumiko." She says getting her attention and climbs down whilst the tossing the binoculars. "Think I figured out who our friend is." With Hibana looking over the Japanese characters.
