"Sounds good to me," Joe replies to Professor Carter. "I could use a bit of sleep before getting further involved in whatever we seem to have stumbled into, although I can see where Mr. Anderson is coming from. Sleeping might not come so easy this night."

At Shorty's comments about protection supplies, Joe sighs. "I suppose stuff like that might become necessary if this investigation continues to take turns like the one at the hotel. I'm not a violent man and I abhor needlessly taking a life but I do understand the need to protect ourselves, especially given what has happened in the last few hours. As I am unfamiliar with such things, having only been a boxer years ago, I leave the choice of protection supplies to you Shorty."

Carter bids everyone a good night, and heads back to his apartment. When he gets there he pours himself a nice BIG drink, and packs a bag for an extended oversea journey [OOC: he packs everything listed as "Equipment" on his character sheet, and extra clothes], and loads his .38 (which he'll be taking with him in the morning).
 

"Alright, tommorrow then. I'll pick you up something for your safety padre, see. Don't be shocked if me and me bro'ter are late."

Shorty and his brother take their leave and head over to their place. They get all their equiptment and then head over to their "supplier" to get some other equiptment. Being the smart guy that he is Shorty gets a few spare supplies for the group and will charge them "appropriatly". ;)

OOC: I will change my character's equiptment within the next hour or so and then you will see that reflected over at the Rouge's gallery. Also I will be packing everything in my equiptment.
 

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."
 

January 16th, 1926

After a fit full night in which everyone had a hard time sleeping. Visions of Jackson Elias' body laying on the bed with blood everywhere intrudes into your thoughts.
The morning comes with a new layer of snow on the ground. It is drab and overcast. Everyone does what errands are needed and arrives at the corner coffee shop across from the library around 9 in the morning. You can tell the other did not get much sleep as well from the puffy eyes and stifled yawns.

Thomas goes to purchase a bowie knife, though he doesn't tell his companions. He's sure the father would be outraged.

"Well where to laddies this morning?" He says, trying to sound chirpy.
