Codename "Tanuki" is the world's greatest assassin, but the only thing he loves more than taking out a target and completing his mission is culinary decadence. Not a second before he can alleviate his hunger pains with a delicious, homemade, Italian linguine pasta alla marinara (just like grandma used to make), he receives a message from his handler that his most allusive target, his greatest failure, has been spotted and is on the move. Now, with a bruised ego and an empty stomach, "Tanuki" heads to the restaurant where his target, codename "Kitsune," has been spotted. He will find them. He will kill them. He will reheat his uneaten food in the microwave when he returns home.
