[d20 Modern] Gangs of Texas [PG-17] IC

Ben Taub Hospital, Emergency Center, Hallway
Texas Medical Center

Amy watches thoughtfully as Mike leaves the hospital before turning around to head into the emergency room. Noticing Carlos, she smiles in greeting. "I see you manage to get yourself discharged despite getting shot, Carlos?"

OOC: CARLOS

Texas Medical Center

Carlos shrugs with his good shoulder and gives her a wicked grin, "You were lucky I dove in the way as quick as I did and saved you. The way I see it, you owe me another dinner. This time, though, someplace near the Galleria. On the top floor. Away from any windows."

He continues to make light of the situation, walking toward the door with his somewhat awkward gait, "But not tonight. I think I'm going home to sleep this off. When I wake up, it will all be a dream. Except for the hole in my shoulder. Don't suppose I could bother you for a lift back to my car?"

"Back to your car?!" Amy frowns at him, walking with him toward the exit. "I'm giving you a lift all the way home and you're going to stay home for a couple of days and heal up before you do anything else. If you're good, maybe I'll bring you breakfast tommorrow."

OOC: CARLOS

T-Bull frowned, stopped, and then turned and led them in an arc across the street and back towards the Lobos toughs. "They ain't the only ones who like to teach," he remarked under his breath to Lamar and Malcolm, clenching his fist before it could reflexively dive into his pocket. Pulling out his brass knuckles at this point wasn't going to help things - at least if he hoped to end this confrontation without a fight.

That was going to be pretty difficult though, if they kept acting this cavalier about killing a little girl. T-Bull didn't mind as much when they shot each other up, but when they started hurting those who weren't in the gangs - especially little kids, and even worse a girl! - that couldn't be let go. It couldn't be forgiven.

"Yo! Got the time?"

Sweetwater, First Colony
Sugar Land

Mike had no problems obtaining a brand new handgun (pick one that you'd want to buy that isn't restricted and within your wealth range) but he'll have to wait a couple days to get the license itself and then the gun. He drives home in his (pick the car you were going to buy) and pulls up to the guard booth that sits at the entrance to the gated community he lived in. Many of the Houston Rockets, Texans and other famous sports figures lived here and went to the Sweetwater Country Club.

Soon he was through and right back at home which seemed really empty without his father. Throwing himself onto the bed, he fell fast asleep. He was too tired to notice anything but something definitely felt wrong about the house since he last was here earlier today.

Something very wrong.

END DAY ONE for MIKE

The tallest Lobos member glanced at T-Bull lazily. "What? You asking me?" He laughed and then so did his compatriots. "It's time for you to get out ta here, man, cuz you don't belong here. " His eyes passed over Malcolm and Lamar. "None of ya."

OOC: TBULL, LAMAR, MALCOLM

"Why's that?" Lamar asked. "Last time I went to civics class, this was still a free country."

"Exactly," T-Bull agreed, coming to a stop a few feet away from the Lobos and crossing his arms. "'Cept I didn't need any class to tell me that. Don't need one to tell me that shootin' little girls ain't right either."

 

[Timothy]

Mayes Tenement Building,
Mayes Apartment

The old man glanced up from where he was holding his granddaughter. "Misty? Oh Misty! I thought you were in trouble again, girl." He looked at her with kind eyes, the same kind eyes that had taken her in when she had nowhere to sleep.

OOC: MISTY

Mayes Apartment

"No, old man"She says sweet, "Nothing out of the ordinary, I hear your troubles are a lot bigger. Again, I'm sorry. I wish I could do something about it like T-Bull can.
No, can't do nothing about it. Ah If only everyone here could live together peacefully, than things like this wouldn't happen."

Carlos just smiles and sighs dramatically, "Good huh? Oh well, looks like another bowl of cold cereal and sour milk, watching the news on the couch. I don't suppose this proposal is up for negotiation?"

Carlos doesn't have anything else he wants to do today...except maybe flirt with Amy while he's still woozy from the drugs.
