Chapter 60: Back in Action
Depends. Have him sit down with me in a private booth. I don't do accidents, and I don't clean up afterward. I hurt people. Find out the details of his task.
Garret explains his terms of business to the man in the bar. He shrugs, "There are a lot of crackheads and psychos out here, so long as the authorities don't trace it back to you or me, it'll just look like a robbery or something." He leans in, "It's my boss. He's an asshole, but that's not why I want you to hit him. At work, he's got this safe, and it has a lot of money in it. I've seen it. I overheard that he keeps the combination in his wallet. I need that combination. I figure, you get me that combination, however you want, then I can get to the safe and we'll split cash 50-50 before the cops even arrive. Sound good?"
Trent rises up from the ground and glares at the man bleeding out on the ground before looking back at the crowd of youths.
"Looks like you people don't belong to anyone anymore. So, do any of you feel like working in a real crew?"
Trent walks back to the pub. If he is successful in getting any of the recruits to join him then he takes them with him to introduce them to the rest of the gang. Either way, he get's something for that Bruise of his from Fyfe.
Trent comes off of his victim and looks to the surrounding crowd. "Looks like you people don't belong to anyone anymore. So, do any of you feel like working in a real crew?" They all leave Trent, intimidated and scared of his power. That is, except for one boy curious to see the gang. He disappears inside his place and comes out, "Hey, had to go stock up on heat. Where are we going?"
Notable Recruits:
Zet: 2 Clubs, 1 Sub-Machine GunsTrent walks with Zet back to the pub, leading him downstairs. As he gets checked out by Fyfe, Zet looks around; "So, what do you guys do exactly?"
"What, you think a few hawksons are going to get the better of me, meet you guys back at the pub"
Send the above text, go back to the pub while whistiling happily.
Mason whistles happily after sending a group text about his success. When he gets to the pub, he sees Trent walk in with someone new.

It was time for Ryan to get loud and angry.
"IF ANY OF YOU FUCKERS EVEN SO MUCH AS THINKS ABOUT MAKING A HOSTILE MOVE THIS FAT FUCKS BRAINS WILL COAT THE WALLS...

Ryan and Blake hold the warehouse owner hostage while negotiating with his workers. Using a lot of yelling. The two footsoldier attempt to look tough in front of the eight dock workers. One of them finally speaks up in the tense moment, "Kill him! If he dies, then we get the warehouse!" The boss, even with a gun to his head, responds with, "Are you fucking mad! Help me!"
The workers appear to ignore him as another one goes, "And we ain't scare of you two either! We outnumber you and one of your lot is already down!" He points to the wounded Syndicate member recently shot by the warehouse owner. They all seem to be grunting and nodding in agreement. Suddenly, one of them goes for the injured member.

Before Fyfe can heal up Trent, Aaron busts into the downstairs room, and tosses Mal onto the table. She rushes over, as Aaron explains that Mal has got injured badly. "Right, give me some space!"
