[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1377695, member: 13737"] [b][font=Times New Roman][color=white]Raisa[/color][/font][/b] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]The stockboy, who probably stands 5'7" at most, freezes in place, hands still gripping the broom like a vice. Matty backs away from Raisa and she can see the butt of a shotgun barely poking out from under the counter, obviously what he was reaching for.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"N-n-now just hold on here," Matty stammers. "Tommy come in himself and got the money! He said everything is square this month! Antonio was in just yesterday and he didn't say anything was wrong!"[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]Carl turns and the air around him shimmers slightly, then he himself seems to. He walks towards Matty and passes through the counter with a faint hum. "Give her your marker then, Matty," Carl says calmly.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]Matty produces a slip of paper and gives it to Raisa. It reads "Nine ducks in a row." It's initialed "TG." Carl looks at it and nods. "Seems legit."[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"I'll be checking on this. If you're lying, I'll be back. And if you contact Tommy G about this, the boss is not going to be happy," Carl growls warningly. He walks through the counter again with the same faint hum. "Let's go," he says to Raisa and he heads out the door.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]Once outside, Carl pulls out his pad again and flips through names and places. He looks up and down the street until he sees a restaurant that is open. "Looks like that's the next stop." It appears to be a restaurant and bar named "Alfonso's," about two blocks down.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]As you walk towards it, you see a couple of street toughs watching you from across the street. They cross the street and start to follow you. Ahead, you see a trio of thick necked men in suits leaning against the outer wall of a bar. Carl obviously has seen them too.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"Doesn't look like it took Matty long to call Tommy G," Carl says. "Only five in total," he says with a grin, the first you've seen since you started. "Try not to mess up your suit."[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]As if on cue, the three men step out in front of you.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"Hey yo. Din'cha hear? This street is Tommy G's. An' he don' like nobody edgin' in on his territory. 'Fraid we gonna have to do somethin' about that," the man in the middle of the three says.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"There's five of you and two of us," Carl says. "You might want to call your doctor and reserve an operating room. Or at least call some friends and make this a challenge."[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]The man snaps his fingers and five more thugs come from the alley beside you wielding knives, chains and pipes. A black car roars up on the street side and four others file out, clubs and pipes in hand.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]"When we's through wit chu, we're gonna have some fun with that oversized ho o' yours," the leader of the goons says, pulling a bat out from his jacket. He nods to the others and they all close in on you.[/color][/font] [font=Times New Roman][color=white]Carl lets out a soft whistle, the kind that says "I can't believe you said that," and steps out of Raisa's way.[/color][/font] [/QUOTE]
