At Narita Airport I called Rosanne. How glad I was when she answered right away! In this mega-big city I really don’t know where to go to. She explained how to take the train to Shinjuku Station and how to buy a ticket. “But as far as I can see it is all so busy and huge here. We must meet at a certain spot.” “Right opposite to the head entrance of the Shinjuku Station is a Music Store.” She said. “You can’t miss it. A large advertising sign from ‘The Yellow Monkey’ hangs above the entrance. “The Yellow What?” I asked. Did I hear it correctly? “Monkey” Rosanne said. I was doubled over with laughter. “The Yellow Monkey is a rock band here in Japan. They are terribly popular” she explained to me.

When I entered the station I saw her standing. Right in front of the music store. How glad I was to see her. “Oh Rosanne, what I have been through the last couple of days”, I started. “I want to tell you all about it, but I’m so tired.” “Come with me to my apartment. There we can talk further.” “You have you own apartment, how wonderful, finally some rest.” It took all the weight from my shoulders. “I would like to stay in there for the first two”, said Rosanne. “There is so much going on here. I shall tell you all about it, but not here on the street.”

Her apartment was a dark hole. The windows were closed with some kind of panels that couldn’t open. There where mats on the ground and there was only a few furniture. “You moved in here recently, didn’t you?” “This is my first time to enter it.” Rosanne said. “And it is only for one night. We must find something else tomorrow.” I threw my backpack from my back and we settled down. I closed my eyes for only one short moment. Rosanne came next to me and started to fiddle. In my hair, behind my ears. How strong he was! “He wants me” I thought. Suddenly I came back into reality. Rosanne frightened and rubbed her eyes. We gave each other a questioning look. “You’ve got money uploads as well?” “Yes, Kodjiro gave me, it confuses me completely.” Said Rosanne. “I have a whole box with me. He sent them to me.”

I told her about my evening walks in the forest and about the stream and the journey in the airplane. “According to that man from the F.B.I. Kodjiro is not to be trusted. I don’t know which one to believe.” Rosanne told me her story. It dizzied me. The meeting with Sonja. Hans’ and Heater’s wanderings. It all was too much to me. “We must consider this very carefully.” But I couldn’t. I was too tired. My head was spinning. The most of all I wanted to sleep. “Do you want something to eat for tonight?” I asked Rosanne. “There is nothing here and I don’t want to leave the house.” Like two small monkeys, close to each other we fell asleep at the futon.
