1936 - Pulp Heroes

Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "Alright then if you tell us what we want to know, I'll take you to my father. He can provide more protection from the Hand and the Doompriests than I." she said with a small smile, if the thug worked for the Hand, then he would indeed know of the Nightshades and their true.... business.

The family had been at odds with both groups for years.

...patting the guy down for any other weapons as well as ID.

[sblock=OOC] I totally forgot about his ID. Should have mentioned this when you guys searched him before but it slipped my mind.[/sblock]
You find a wallet with a FBI-badge and the thugs passport that identifies him as Scott Young.

"Fed, Hmmm?" Elizabeth asks wryly as she peruses the ID, wondering if it was stolen. She hands it to Jack to look over, If anyone could spot a fake at first glance, it might be him if what he said about being a government agent was true.

 

[Blackrat]

"Fake" the man says with an embarrassed smile as he sees you examining the badge. Jack can confirm this. It isn't even very good fake but could easily fool non knowledgeable people.

"Enterprising, aren't you?" Hope remarked. "That's a felony in of itself I believe, impersonating a Federal officer?" she looked at Jack. "In any case, you still haven't told us what you've got." she shook her finger mockingly at the man.

"So spill. My patience is wearing thin."

 

[Blackrat]

"Yeah, okay okay. But remember, you promised to get me to safety. No-one fails the Man and live to tell about it. Many live but it's hard to sing without tongue and hands. I work for the Man, but I don't suppose that tells you much. He is the real power who rules the streets here in New York. This Hand character needed a couple of guys and our boss picked me and Vito to do the job. We both got our orders separately so I don't know what Vito was supposed to do. Might be he killed Ivanov but I'm not sure. My orders were on that letter you took from me."

[sblock=Elizabeth, Jack & Eddie]You've heard rumours that there is someone big behind the organized crime but this is the first real evidence about that.[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

"If your father can provide us of real protection then I suggest that we hurry up to his place. I have some experience in murder..."

 

[kirinke]

"Alright. You've got the protection, but I swear, if you try anything stupid, I'll drop you where you stand." she said, point her gun, not at his head, but somewhere alot lower. She holstered the weapon and nodded to Mickey.

"Let's get outta here before someone shows up when we don't want em to."

Elizabeth turns to the Russian. "Unfortunantly, I have more than enough experience with death, in all its forms."

Jack looks over the FBI credentials and starts to respond, when Tall & Neat gives up the goods, so he pockets the fake ID. He nods in agreement to the princess' assesment of the situation and when the thug is finished spilling the beans, he says to the group, "No time like the present to get moving." He turns to Tall & Neat, "You gonna go easy or do I have to pummel you into unconsciousness?"

[sblock=OOC] Just thought everyone should know that Thrilling Tales Omnibus edition is a freebie at DriveThruRPG today. Grab it while you can Pulp fans.[/sblock]

 

[Blackrat]

"You gonna go easy or do I have to pummel you into unconsciousness?"

"At the moment you're my best hope of keeping all my bodyparts with me, so yeah, I'll come along nice and easy."

You get downstairs and again grab a pair of taxis, this time to Nightshade Mansion. The butler, an elderly french named Philippe greets you in his usual stiff manners. "Ah, miss Elizabeth, your father told me to expect you and your friends. He is waiting in the west lounge." He then looks at the whole group and without any show of emotion asks. "Can I help with your coats and hats?"

[sblock=Elizabeth]Philippe may be quite uptight but he has worked for your father from time before your birth, so you have grown to like him and he is the closest thing you have ever had for a grandfather.[/sblock]
