Crusher 495
Thursday 8/14/70 18:55:43

It was still light out and the winds off the sound never seemed to make it all the way inland to Redmond, so it was hot. Too damned hot to be wearing a Kevlar-reinforced business suit.
Crusher 495 was the only open business for blocks. Whether anything human or even remotely sentient lurked in the dilapidated buildings surrounding it was anybody's guess. Nothing moved.
But in front of the bar itself, plenty was going on. An ork woman that looked as though she might have leprosy stood by impassively as her pimp, a huge troll with gold-tipped horns and a leopard-skinned suit, negotiated her price with a gaggle of five pasty, underfed humans in rags. Who knew what they were planning to exchange for her.
About five meters on the other side of this scene, another troll bellowed in agony as three orks beat it mercilessly, one stomping repeatedly on its face while another kicked it over and over and over in the testicles.

The damned Evo suit was drawing more attention than anything else, though.

The front doors were flung wide, as they had been during the earlier visit. The pool tables looked busy, and inside the place was a cloud of smoke and the smell of beer and beer vomit.

Outside the booth-fort, the same two trolls in flak jackets with shotguns stood chatting. And it looked like more than one troll would be getting a job as hired muscle for the Mafia tonight....

Rocky

Thursday 8/14/70 18:56:27

The walk had only been four blocks long but the heat and humidity from the rain was really getting old. Rocky winced as he saw the orks kicking the shit out of a troll twice their size. Hope that’s not how I go out. He kept moving not wanting to be late for the first night of work.

As he stepped inside the bar he did prefight pych up and walked across the room, not stopping at the bar, but nodding to the bartender as he passed. He scanned the place quickly, just checking to see how many faces he could recognize from last night. The trolls were in their normal spot, but Rocky barely slowed down as he passed them and slipped through the opening between booths. Same as every trip before Smithers was in his normal spot, Rocky stopped at the table looking over at Smithers, "Evening, ready to go."

With a nod from Smithers, Rocky takes a seat across from him and waits to see who else is going to show up.

Cerberus - street samurai
PAN: Hidden

A taxi cab pulls up to the entrance of Crusher 495, the person in the back of the cab slots a cred stick and then steps out of the cab. The taxi cab door swings open and an average looking black shoe steps onto the ground, above the shoe is an average charcoal black colored pant leg. As the rest of the massive troll steps out of the cab nothing really stands out about the troll as the coat is also charcoal black coat with a black shirt underneath with an average looking black tie with designs etched into it, until you get to the eyes. The green glowing eyes put you on edge as there is nothing for you to gauge in the glowing green iris's.

Shutting the door the taxi cab takes off. Cerberus stands there for a second adjusting his brand new custom tailered auctioneer business suit taking in the environment. Seeing the troll being beaten his first reaction was ouch that has to hurt followed by maybe I should help my troll friend out which was quickly followed by nah the poor fragger probably deserves it and i am here to work. Never the less Cerberus zoomed in on each of the orc's faces who were beating the troll and used his cybereyes to record them for future reference when he wasnt working. He also saw another troll slapping something out of the hands of some raggedy bum's hand and yelling at them but he didnt care enough to use his hearing to listen in on them it obviously had something to do with the skanktastic piece of orc standing behind the troll because the lead human was pointing at her and yelling back at the troll.

Cracking the knuckles in his hand by making a fist he took a deep breathe and then walked into the bar, if I had wanted to save the world I picked a lousy choice of a career. He marveled at the billiard tables. With the progression of technology it was possable for the local pool shark to use technology to plan his shots and lay out the correct angles and rotation to put on the cue ball its a wonder anyone would want to compete like that but he guessed they still had to hit the ball. Cerberus was good at remembering where he had been before but he didnt really need to since Ezekiel's booth always had the two big trolls out front. As Cerberus made his way over to the booth he could feel the stares coming at him from all direction from the bar regular occupants, some had sneers on their faces probably because of his suit, others were afraid and overted their gaze and some had looks of awe as he passed by probably due to his eyes.

As he saw the gaurds spot him he gave them a nod and then walked by and stood at the end of the booth. Cerberus's glowing green eyes scanned over the occupants. Ezeikiel he knew and there was yet another troll sitting across from him. So far tonight he had seen 5 other trolls besides himself? It felt like a family reunion. This troll sitting across from Smithers didnt seem to have any noticable cyberwear and he wasnt dressed up in animal pelts and wierd trinkets so he wasnt a shaman, he must be a mage or maybe a hacker, maybe he is the driver.

"Good Evening gentlmen". Cerberus then slid into the booth next to the other troll and held out his hand to him. "You can call me Cerberus and you would be?".

As Rocky sits quietly waiting for the meeting to start he catches sight of another troll heading through the club toward the booths. He stands out, just as much as Rocky did two minutes ago when he walked in wearing his suit.

When he introduces him self as hes sitting down Rocky nods and offers his hand up, "Rocky, nice to meet ya."

"Alright, alright. You're Cerberus and you're Rocky. There, you're introduced. Hate to rush that part, but your new boss is gonna be here any second, and on account of it's my neck if things don't go smooth, there's some things I wanna tell youse guys, just between us."
He paused to make sure he had their attention.
"So I already briefed the both of yas on the job requirements, and I see ya both cleaned up real good. Do as yer told. Remember that youse guys is the noobs, hired help on toppa that - lot of the guys you'll be working with are all each other second cousins or brothers-in-law and that sorta thing. So just remember, until you prove yourself for awhile, everyone's your boss.
"Now what I wanna warn ya about is that your employer is a very connected individual. But you are without a doubt gonna think he's some kinda retard. Thing is, besides blood ties, he provides some extremely lucrative services for his organization. You two will probably never even catch a glimpse of those services. But this guy, he ain't satisfied with the contribution he's makin'. Don't make him feel enough like a wiseguy. So he's taken it upon himself to help expand the family's territory all on his own, mostly targeting small-fry players. This particular thing he is not good at - but his people have to tolerate it because of how much his other thing earns them.
"I am telling you this so that you don't go trying to second guess this guy all the time, and so that you don't underestimate how very very very stupid it would be to piss him or his people off."
The ork looked up, and nodded to the guards. "All right, here he is now - remember, that was just between us trogs."
He stood and extended his hand to an older man in a pin-striped suit. The guy was fairly big, about mid-fifties, maybe. He was totally bald, and his head was a mass of wrinkles.
"Gentlemen," said Ezekiel, by way of introduction, "May I introduce your new employer, Louie "Fish-breath" Finnigan."

Rocky listens closely as Smithers outlines the details of how their new boss works so he and Cerberus don't get fired or worse. So it sounds like we just do what ever this guy lays out and don't ask any questions, shouldn't be to hard. As Rocky finishes the thought, a man steps up to the table which Smithers introduces as their new boss, Louie "Fish-breath" Finnigan.

Rocky nods and introduces himself, "Nice to meet ya, I'm Rocky."

Louie glanced briefly at the two trolls as they attempted polite greetings, and then sat down next to Ezekiel and put a hand on his shoulder, drawing him briefly close in a half-hug, and then speaking to him directly. "I see you got 'em some nice threads. They don't look half-bad. Hell, they're dressed better'n Sal ever was. I was a little worried when you said they was both your kinda people. But they look all right. Wouldn't set 'em up with my nieces or anything, but they look all right."

"I'm glad you're pleased, Louie," answered Smithers.

"Ya hear me boys," Louie said, addressing Cerberus and Rocky now, "I was just tellin' Zeke here that ya passed muster. Now I'm Louie Fishbreath," he continued, leaning in close enough for then to understand why. "Picked up the handle way back when I was first comin' up, an' now I guess it's kinda tradition. Whaddaya say, Angie?"

A younger man with longish greased-back hair and a very nice suit was standing just at the entrance to the booth-fort, gun-hand casually resting under his jacket. "I say...if the shoe fits, boss. But if I ever hear either of these yobs callin' you anything but Mr. Louie or Mr. Finnegan, I's gonna tear their pointy ears off and feed 'em to 'em."

Louie nods approvingly. "My nephew Angelo knows exactly how I like things done, and he is going to show you how that is. Now," he said, turning again to Smithers, "which one of these guys is the major bang-bang shooter?"

"That's Cerberus here. He's real good with his hands, too."

"Right, right, right. But where's the weapon? Din't he bring it? Din't you tell him to come ready to work?" He held up his hand to silence all response before anyone could answer. "Never mind," he continued, looking straight at Cerberus, "I'm sure you did your best. We got a lotta stops to make tonight, but we'll just swing by your place and pick it up. Now, youse mugs got any questions, take 'em up with Angelo once we's on the road. Busy night. Very busy night."

And with that he was out of the booth and striding a path through the gaggle of trolls and orks filling the bar. Angelo was close on his heels. Ezekiel gave the trolls a look of "What are you waiting for?" and in moments they were all trundling out into the street, where they found a shiny new black SUV with the obligatory tinted windows.

"Picked this up special - partly cuz we heard the two of youse was of the trollish persuasion, and partly to celebrate finally getting that asshole Rothstein off our backs for a few days. Hop inna back and give your address to Angelo."

Rocky follows the mob guys lead out of the club, smilling to him self at seeing the SUV, which meant he was done walking, at least for a little while. He climbs in the back of the vehicle and sits waiting to see whats going happen next, not speaking unless spoken to first. Well maybe this guy that is showing us the ropes will be a little easier to deal with that it sounds like Mr. Finnegan will be.

Cerberus walked around to the other side of the SUV and got in taking up his position in the backseat and shutting the door. He rattled off his address to Angelo. "Im real sorry about not being prepared Mr Finnigan I didnt know how this was going to work. I dont know if Mr Smithers told you or not but I use a light machine gun which isnt exactly something i would normally bring along to a meet so are you sure you want to swing by my place? Forgive me if im being forward but I also have another related question. I was told and I assume Rocky was told this also but while we are working for you we will be staying at our normal homes and when you need us you will pick us up? Do you want us to always arm ourselves or will we be told when we will need our weapons? Sorry if im asking to many questions, I just dont want there to be any more confusion. I dont want to let you down. "

As Angelo pulled the SUV into the road and started deftly dodging mounds of debris, craters, and dead bodies, Louie turned and looked back at the trolls. "That IS a whole lotta questions. That's a lotta questions, ain't it, Ang?"

"WHOLE lotta questions, boss."

"But I can see you wanna do the right thing. You guys could work out. And don't worry, Angie here is gonna answer all your questions."

"That's right. Yeah, you stay at your own place, or do whatever ya want with your time. But when we call, you gotta be ready quick. And yeah, when it's time for work someone'll pick ya up. Unless we say otherwise, always come ready to work. That toy we're headed to get right now, it'll spend most of its time here in the car, but we do want it handy, ya know. I mean, what the fuck good is it to us back at your apartment, ya know. Now if that damned kike DA gets back on our case, we might call ya and have ya skip the guns, but days like that we don't make many calls anyway. Oh, and if either of youse got any 'ware that ain't strictly legal, we don't even wanna KNOW about it. You got all that?"

After picking up Cerberus' hockey bag, they had gone to a small Italian restaurant just outside the Wall in Bellevue. It was a quiet commercial street with a media stand, some tailors, cleaners, a grocer's, and other restaurants. The contrast with Redmond on the other side of the Wall, even with the relatively calm Touristville district, was surreal.

An assortment of bulldog-looking men lounged around inside, most eating. Many of them greeted Louie casually as he entered; no one really acknowledged the trolls. Louie headed straight to the back and to a door.

Angelo spoke. "Boss is gonna do some work now. When he's in the office, you guys can pretty much relax. Don't worry about the car - pity the sap that tries messin' with it, the system we got on that thing. Don't worry, I already keyed it to youse's PANs. Anyway, like I was sayin', boss is inna back, this place is open for business. Boss comes out to eat or whatever, you guys take the front door. Nobody gets in. NOBODY. You understand NOBODY, right? If they say they got biz here with someone, you get ahold of that someone. If it's Louie, you call me.

"Now, when we go on calls, your most important job is keepin' the boss safe. Things can happen pretty fast, so you gotta be on your toes. Anything happens to the boss, something about eight times worse is gonna happen to you. And no one disrespects the boss. Now that's a little bit tougher judgment call - but if the boss or I says the magic words - 'Nobody talks to Louie Fishbreath that way' - if we says that, that means we been disrespected. If we says that, YOUSE gotta say it, too. And then youse gotta punish whoever was mouthin' off.

"Okay, that's a lot of instructions all at once. If you guys are sure you got it, get yourselves some pasta - we got a busy night ahead."

"Yes Sir!" Cerberus gives Rocky a friendly slap on the arm to get his attention and then nods to the front of the restaurant, "Last one to finish the first bowl of pasta had a humie for a mother." Cerberus smiles and then heads up front but picks a booth where he can also see his new boss's office door and then slides in waiting for a waiter or waitress.

Cerberus begins taking in the restaurant visually but when he sees he is freaking people out with his eyes he looks down at his table. When the waiter/waitress comes he orders spaghetti minus the sauce and meatballs and a pitcher of lemonade flavored water.

Rocky does his best to keep up with everything Angelo goes over on how things will work. Glad I don't have a big gun to try and keep up with all the time.

When they got the restaurant the smell of real food just about knocked him out, even though it had only been a little over a week, he was getting tired of all the soy he had been eating.

Following Cerberus's lead he joins him up front and orders a full plate of spaghetti and meatballs, a pitcher of water and some garlic bread if they have it. As they wait for the food Rocky scans the restaurant taking it all in, trying to learn what he can about this new world he had entered.

Cerberus and Rocky ate a LOT of pasta - Cerberus skipping all the sauces, Rocky not.

Then, stomachs full, they chilled, half their attention on the front door, through which a few guys in suits walk, half their attention on this new environment. Seems like everyone is packing heat - and it's ALL human men. As the hours went by, they were all eating and drinking and talking openly about everything from their kids' birthday parties to killing yaks. No one spoke to the trolls.

Then Louie came out of the office. He was the man around here, obviously. People shouted rudely friendly things at him from around the room. He shook a lot of hands, gave a lot of hugs, and sat down to a big meal.

Rocky and Cerberus took up positions by the door. Several more guys showed up, but just as they were about to stop them, Angelo was always right there welcoming the new people in, so they never had to do anything.

11:23:00

Louie said his goodbyes, and he and Angelo headed out the door. Angelo snapped his fingers at the trolls, although they were already half up to follow him.

They took the SUV down to a dilapidated, working-class area of Auburn, in the northeast corner of the district. Old newsfaxes blew across the mostly empty streets. A few bars were obviously open, and beat up cars were here and there. a rough neighborhood with not a lot of money floating around, but a far cry from the Barrens.

They pulled up across the street from a lit up barber shop, and Angelo shook his head at Cerberus's questioning look, so the green-eyed troll left the LMG behind. Louie strode right in. "Stay close to the boss, you two. I got the door."

Inside, there were four big barber chairs, but no barber. Around the edges of the room were the usual arrangement of chairs for people to wait in. In the various chairs were six youngish men, all orks, all wearing red tracksuits with black trim. Entering the room, the mob guys were effectively surrounded. There was a door leading into the back, and out of it came two more orks and an elf girl that couldn't have been more than twelve. She looked like she wanted to throw up and then die.

Angelo closed the door behind him and put his back to it.

There was a table in the center of the room, and one of the orks sat down at it, flanked by the other ork that had come out of the back, who had a big, black-nailed hand on the girl's shoulder.

Louie sat down across from the ork ganger, who spoke first. "Little peace offering, Fishbreath. Her mom's strung out on novacoke, hurtin' bad. Little Rina here couldn't watch her ma suffer no more, wanted to do something to help....she probably thought it was a nice idea at the time."

Laughter from around the room, and one of the orks yelled, "Old enough to bleed, old enough to butcher!"

The leader continued - "That's fresh meat, Mob-man. Why'n't ya have a taste, then we can all talk biz in good spirits."

"Don't treat me like some love-hungry freak just knocked off at the plant and looking to cop a nut so's he can keep his hands off his own daughters, you degenerate tusker. Get that out on the street where it can earn you some of the money you owe me. You wanna talk, talk about how you're gonna pay."

Eight to four - and the orks obviously hadn't cared for the racial slur. If Louie and Angelo were worried, they didn't show it.

Inwardly Cerberus cringed when he figured out what the orcs had done to the little girl and inside of him a rage began to build, then he was shocked out of that when his new boss suggested that they put her out on the street. He had flashbacks of his life with doc wagon where he helped people out who were in trouble, not take advantage of them. He snapped.

Cerberus walked forward and stood a little in front of Loui and looked directly into the gang leaders face while he talked. "Boss if these pussies cant even find a real women to get it on with there is no way in hell they have the balls or common sense to make the money to pay back their loan!". He is sure Loui has a look of shock on his face but if degenerates like this can do what they just did they sure as hell arent going to pay back a loan by chatting to them.

Cerberus amped up his wired reflexes and made a show of moving his head around as if to stretch his neck.

Louie chuckled softly, and gave a smiling shrug at the ork leader. "As you can see, you're not winnin' no people or influencin' no friends by callin' us kiddie freaks. But fortunately for you, I have a higher opinion of your earning potential..."

The ork leader cut the bald man off with a froth-spraying explosion of words - "We offered this eunabo sweetmeat up to you as a courtesy! A show of respect, zakhan."

"Well, I can see you have strong feelings about this issue. Just let me have a moment to confer with my associates." Louie raisesdboth hands, simultaneously crooking a finger at each troll, beckoning them to come closer. Once they leaned in with their heads down by his, he quietly informed them in the sad manner of a father who is disappointed by the behavior of children that "Nobody talks to Louie Fishbreath that way."

Rocky leaned in so he could hear what ever it was Louie was going to tell them. Then he heard the words that he was expecting to hear come from Louie's mouth, "Nobody talks to Louie Fishbreath that way." Well, I guess that’s it, time to go to work.

Before Rocky can fully complete the thought Cerberus is standing up and kicking something. Seeing that he's not heading for the obvious gun Rocky chooses his path. He spins as he comes out of the crouch/lean he had been in to hear Louie, taking several steps to close with ork that appeared to have the most dangerous weapon in plain view. Using his momentum from the short approach he slams his closed ungloved fist in to the mobsters face. It immediately explodes into blood and teeth and Rocky can actually feel the guy’s skull separate from his spine before he slams back into the barber chair.

Not stopping to inspect the damage he side steps to his right throwing a left hook into the second ork who had just barley stood up and gripped his bat like he may swing it. But the impact of the blow knocks the ork over the chair and to the ground under the counter. the baseball bat flies across the room hitting the back wall and clatter into the corner.

Keeping with his plan Rocky turns toward the final ork that was sitting in the barber chairs, that’s now stood and appears to have a knife in hand. Before he can close with him he catches hostile movement heading in his direction out of the corner of his eye. His practice and enhanced reflexes take over as he spins throwing his right arm out across the attackers path, which stops his forward motion and knocks his bladed hands down and out of position to attack or defend. Continuing the spin he had started as defense he switches to attack, aiming low he goes for a body blow to the orks side. The blow connects with the bottom of his ribcage, shattering three of the ribs that were attached to his sternum and sending the couple floating ribs from that side of his body in to his chest, puncturing the ork's lung in several places and severely dislocating most of his internal organs. The ork or what remains of him slams in to the ground, never to move on its own again.

Taking a breath Rocky turns back to the last ork that had been in the barber chairs, that is still holding his knife. With two short steps Rocky closes what’s left of the distance between him and the ork. Not interested in playing around he uses his reach to land a solid simple jab to the ork’s face. Rocky can feel the ork's nose break as he flies back and flops to the ground.

Taking a quick glace around and not seeing any threats Rocky moves toward the door at the back of the shop wanting to make sure no one else is waiting there.

Cerberus turned his head to look at Loui after he spat out his insult only to see Loui beckoning him closer along with Rocky. He inwardly grimaced and thought maybe he had overstepped his boundaries. He leaned in expecting Loui to chastise him but instead Loui gave his code phrase which was his cue to open a can of whoop ass "Nobody talks to......" Cerberus never heard the rest of it...

He spun around like a mad dog swinging his arm around and smashing the flimsy table the gang leader was sitting at across the room towards the babrerchairs. In two steps he was in front of the gang leader and with huge troll foot kicked him in the chest knocking him and the chair he was sitting in over backwards to the ground.

Turning to the orc ganger with black nails that was holding the girl he began walking towards him. The black nailed orc shoved the girl out of his way which knocked her to the ground. She scrambled under a counter and began crying. He then made an obviously fake expression like he was scared and as Cerberus was about to turn that expression into a true feeling he saw the orc's at the card table go into action. One of them stood and pulled a gun from underneathe the table but there were 4 loud gunshots and holes began blossoming on his chest and he went down. The other stood and charged Cerberus. Caught off gaurd when he turned back to the black nailed orc he got punched in the face and never saw it coming. Cerberus stumbled back a step and then threw a wild hook towards black nail but he easily dodged it. After easily parrying the card playing ganger's wild punchs Cerberus backed off and mentally formulated a plan to deal with both gangers. The two gangers looked at each other and then spread out a little.

Ears still ringing from the gunshots in this small enclosed room and from the little girl who was now screaming and crying, Cerberus lunged forward sending out a lazy jab towards the black nailed ganger and as soon as it was fully extended he began rotating his body to go into a spinning backfist. It worked spectacularly as the other ganger lunged forward trying to interrupt Cerberus but the other ganger was the target. Completing his spin the lunging ganger was caught totally off balance with his arm already extending to try and land a punch when the back of Ceberus's forearm caught him sqaure in the side of the face. There was a loud thunk sound as metal encased forearm met face and then the ganger was flying across the room and collasping as he hit a wall.

Turning back to the orc with black nails, blood still dripping down his forearms and off his fist and his glowing green eyes staring right into the gangers face he must have panicked because he started to make a run for it but Cerberus wasnt done by a long shot. He gut punched the fragger as he tried to run by sending him crashing to the ground on hands and knees retching.

Quickly scanning the room for other targets he marveled at the destruction, all of the gangers were down and only few showed signs of life such as moaning in pain or breathing. Hearing the little elf girl screaming he turned to make sure she was alright and then his hands curled into fists and he stood in front of the orc with black nails who was now sitting back on his knees just about to finish him off for what he had done........

"Hah!" came a bark of laughter from deep underwater behind them. It was Louie, but the ringing in their ears was so loud he sounded far away. He was still sitting calmly in his chair, a Colt Manhunter in his hand, the laser dot trained on the forehead of the Red Dog leader sprawled on the floor - the only ganger not seriously hurt. Seeing that the situation was well under control, Louie got to his feet smugly, holstering his weapon under his jacket. ""Trogs kicking the living shit outta other trogs. My kinda world. You guys all did great. Great job." He looks around again - the only thing that seems to rain on his parade is the screaming of the girl. He scrunches his nose in her direction in annoyance. "All right, these guys were hopeless, but they put up a fairly spirited fight, showed us a little chutzpah. Let 'em skulk off and lick their wounds - maybe turn into good earners one day. But this one," he said, pointing down at the leader, "he didn't even put of a fuss as we wasted his crew. Pussy. End him."
And Louie turned around and headed for the door Angelo was holding for him.

Cerberus glances back at his boss Loui when he hears him say that the rest should be let go except for the leader. His spirit was overflowing with rage but atleast the girl was still alive. Cerberus grabs a handful of the black nailed gangers shirt with one fist and raises back his other fist, "Nobody talks to Louie Fishbreath that way", then he punches him sqaure on the nose breaking it and knocking the poor sap out cold pulling his punch just enough not to kill the guy.

Cerberus walked over to the leader and held him on the ground with his foot. Loui was at the doorway by now, "Hey boss what about this little girl? Shouldnt we drop her off at a Hospital or something?".

Rocky nods at Louie's instructions, straining to hear them over the ringing in his ears. I better see what I can do to cust that down or I'm going to have problems.

He looks around the room for a few seconds, amazed at the damage he and Cerberus had done in a few short seconds. Hearing bits and pieces of Cerberus' inquiry about the gril Rocky looks in her direction, as she cowers under the counter screaming her head off. Having never dealt with kids Rocky is not really sure what to do, so he does what he knows needs to be done.

Walking over to Cerberus and the wheezing mob boss Rocky reachs into his jacket and pulls his Warhawk from its concealed holster. Using it to gesture he looks at Cerberus, "I got this guy. Why don't you do what ever it is you want with her?"

Cerberus - street samurai
PAN: Hidden

"Hold off on capping this piece of shit until I get the girl outside." Turning towards the girl he walks over near her which only makes her scream louder and he kneels down a little bit away from her out of arms reach. She is terrorfied but Cerberus has dealt with tons of these situations. "My name is Cerberus" he says pointing to his own chest with his thumb which causes the girl to decrease her screaming a little, "thats my friend Rocky" he says pointing at rocky with a finger "and we know we look scary but we are here to help you. See what we did to those bad men?". She stops screaming and is only cyring.

"Those bad men said your name is Rina, is that your name? Listen Rina if you come with me I will keep you safe and take you someplace where you will be taken care of and kept warm and safe and they will even feed you, would you like that?" Cerberus holds out his non bloody hand to Rina who is still cowering under the counter....

"Hey," Louie yells from outside, "Let's get a move on." Stepping back towards the door and seeing Cerberus, he shouts, "You trying to go into business for yourself? That's cute, but we ain't got time for that. Waste that puke and let's go."

Rocky - physical adept
PAN: Hidden

"Looks like the new "boss" isn't in to charity work, and I'm thinking she ain't com'n with us." Explains Rocky as he continues to eye the mob boss. "Dig her some cash up from the bodies and lets finish this, I really don't want to piss off the mob on my first night out. We need to go, NOW!"

Moving so that his body is between the girl and the mob boss, Rocky lowers his gun looking in to the orks eyes as he speaks just above a whisper to him, "See ya in Hell!" Then pulls the trigger on his Ruger Super Warhawk, watching it turn the mobsters face in to an unreconizable mass of blood and flesh. Shaking his head as the girl resumes her screaming Rocky slips the revolver back in to it holster and slowly walks to the front door, trying to give Cerberus a few seconds to do something for the girl.
