Ever the thorough operative, Michael Taylor started laying the groundwork of his cowl story as quickly because the personal jet he had chartered landed in Japan. He and George Zayek had been violinists who can be performing close by, he informed a employee on the Osaka private-jet terminal shortly after the Bombardier World Specific arrived from Dubai at 10:10 a.m. native time.
As personnel at Kansai Worldwide Airport unloaded suitcases, a guitar case and two massive black bins, Tomoyuki Matsui, the supervisor of the private-jet terminal’s ground-service crew, ushered the boys to the terminal bus, which took them to the luxurious Premium Gate Tamayura. Kayoko Tokunaga, a 30-year-old worker fluent in English, was ready to greet them and comfortably struck up dialog with Messrs. Taylor and Zayek as they waited for his or her passports to be stamped. “Your stay is so short,” she remarked, based on transcripts of police interviews.
