Shorty heads home with Hamish like he normally would and on the way stops at his Taylors to pick up this 2 new suits that he orderd and had Tailored last week. They fit him perfectly and the pinstripes lined up from the coat to the pants seamlessly. He tipped the taylor extra this time for his fine job, it can be so difficult to get good suits sometimes, and he knew that the Taylors daughter is trying to go to a University. [the extra $5 was added in].
Then on his way home after that he stopped by a "friends" place to get some "protection". All he had in the form of hand guns were 2 old german mausers, magizine style. He also had Shorty's favorite, a shotgun. On top of that, for intimidation factor, Shorty picked up a Tommy Gun. I hope that I don't have to use this one Shorty thought ot himself while looking it over for flaws. Shorty also picked up a few hand to hand weapons; Some brass knuckles, a knife, and some night sticks. When all that was aquired, he made sure to get some extra ammo.
After that he hit the Department store near by, with his brother. He bought some handy gear and a big trunk to fit most of the supplies in. In the fashon of the current day he also picked up some more clothes and misc. apperal for fashion purposes. On the way out he almost forgot that hee need a "case" and picked up a brand new Violin. This was a tradition of Shorty's.
When him and his brother got home he unwrapped and packed most of the items in his trunk. He then carefully removed the Violin and placed it in his display case. Instead of just getting the case for a gun he liked to use the left overs. He has ben asked on occasion why he collects them, and Shorty only laughs, but it does make a handsome display. The tommy gun fit perfectly into the case. I'll stick this in the back of the trunk, just in case. he tought to himself.
"Tommorrow is going to be a busy day Hamish, get some sleep, see."
