Since the deal with the underground bosses he seems to reacts more edgy than before. This behavior is actually a cover-up for the tension he permanently feels. As a regional TCTF commander he doesn't allow himself to show any sign of weakness. But he is watched day and night. Griffin imagines to know the exact reason. They just wait for the right moment to assassinate him. Ironically the opposite is the case. The special group is meant to keep him alive as the bosses fear that Griffin's death will trigger kill orders on their families. They got information that Griffin has ties to the shady GATC Blackstars. This leads to funny situations where they help him out against other rogue elements.

Neo-Tokio subboss: "Here's a transmission that received me the days before and because of that we have this emergency meeting." | |||
Comguy in transmission: "The Camp [Syndicate headquarters] is not pleased by the support rates coming from Neo-Tokio and its region. They identified the Lion [Griffin] as interfering factor. Short, they are sending two expert mechanics [hitman]. They expect that the revenues will increase again within the next two month." | |||
Com channel closed. | |||
Subboss: "Do we still agree on our stability policy." | |||
Second subboss: "Nothing changed." | |||
Nods were making the round. | |||
Subboss: "It's decided then. My men will welcome the mechanics and find the right place for their final destination. We will not talk about this matter again." | |||
Griffin was standing at a streetside sushi bar. He and his two colleagues were hungry. | |||
From the right side of the street came a tumult. A man with several injuries was running towards them. He looked terribly beaten up. But with all his remaining strength he seemed to take Griffin into his focus. He was followed by Syndicate thugs. From the left side they were emerging too. Griffin let sink the sushi. His colleagues unholstered their guns. Suddenly a car entered the sidewalk and crashed into the hunted man. The thugs were swarming around the body, and throw it into the car trunk. | |||
A man in a leather jacket approached the TCTF. Griffin remembered his clan sign all too well. He signaled not to shot. | |||
"Takahashi-dono hopes you are doing well and will forget about little nuisance. Be assured he is pleased with the mutual agreement." | |||
Griffin: "Isn't there something else I should know." | |||
"No. Not at all, Griffin-dono. These are internal matters. For you, nothing happened here. Please enjoy your Monday 2 PM sushi." | |||
Griffin took a look at his watch app. It was now exactly 3 minutes past 2 PM. | |||
Wheels were squeaking. More cars stopped by, when all thugs had entered, the cars drove off again. | |||
TCTF: "Should I report?" | |||
Griffin: "Nothing happened, haven't you heard. Eat up. -- My greetings to Takahashi-san." | |||
The thug leader was bowing and left the place. | |||

Their biggest coup was Griffin's evacuation from the hospital. | |||
