The next two tracks are pretty short, so I strung them together. =)
A note about the names: Madarella's henchmen's names aren't revealed until track 11. I have to do a little guess work by the context to put voices to names. I'm positive that "Serpenti" is the one who's fixated on Aya, and the guy who sounds like Madarella's secretary-like servant is Marid. Which left "Argus" as the last guy. Argus refers to Serpenti as his "aniki" (brother) but they might just be brothers-in-crime, with Serpenti being the more senior gang member.

Party Game ]
Contact
Setting: Madarella's hotel room. The door opens and they walk in...
Madarella: *sighs and takes a seat* I've kept you waiting.
Argus: You sure it's ok for the host to sneak out of the party? Haven't you invited bigwigs from some pharmaceutical corporations?
Madarella: I have work to do. We've discovered the whereabouts of those yellow monkeys. Hand him the memo. Right now, there are three staying at that cheap hotel. You've drilled into your heads the information I gave you, right?
Argus: Of course.
Serpenti: Three?
Madarella: Yeah, one is at the party. Hehehe. It seemed like he wanted to come, so I invited him.
Serpenti: Who came?
Madarella: Hm? Who is it?
Marid: Yohji Kudo.
Serpenti: Aya. So it's not Aya Fujimiya?
Marid: Correct.
Madarella: What does that have to do with anything?
Serpenti: I can smell it from that Aya, even from the photograph...the scent of blood. He smells like death. I thought that I'd like to...meet him.
Argus: Hehehe. But Brother, that doesn't make him a good opponent for you. That Aya's weapon is a big knife, you know.
Serpenti: Not a knife. A katana. You shouldn't underestimate a samurai who follows the way of the
Hagakure.
Meanwhile, back at Omi's hotel room:
Ken: Geez, Aya's running late!
Omi: Maybe he stopped at a café on the way back from shopping.
Yohji: *cutting in via comm. device* Hey, Omi. I've finally made it up to the floor of Madarella's room.
Omi: So? Anything out of the ordinary?
Yohji: Nah. Damn it. I can't believe you made me walk up all those stairs up to this floor. I'm not a really physical person, you know.
Omi: I can't help that! Madarella's henchmen are staking out all the elevator halls.
Yohji: If the door doesn't open with that card key you gave me after all this, I'm gonna be pissed. *cuts out*
Omi: Ah! Yohji-kun? Don't cut off our connection! Keep it on...
Ken: Shh!
Omi: Ken-kun?
Ken: Looks like we've got company.
Omi: Company?
Café
Setting: Streets of Rome. Aya's sitting at a sidewalk café, drinking coffee and reminiscing...
Aya: Rome...Aya, do you remember? We watched Roman Holiday on television, once. I remember you said - even though you didn't understand what was going on in the movie - that you wanted to come to Rome. I'm in that Rome right now. Next time, let's come together, the two of us. Ok...Aya? *he notices someone watching him* Hm? What's up with that guy? Why is he looking at me? *sucks his breath* What is that deathly aura? He laughed? *stands up suddenly* Get out of here!! Hurry!!
Café patrons: *mutter in confusion*
Aya: Don't you understand me?? I'm telling you to get the hell out of here!! Don't you see that guy---? A gun??
Serpenti: *starts shooting the place up with an automatic*
Café patrons: *run and scream*
Serpenti: That's right...you can't die just yet. Because this is just a greeting....samurai...Aya!
