Chapter 28: Newcomer
Stand between Paul and the door. Convince him to stay with us.
William jumps in front of Paul right before he can exit. William then decides to talk to Paul using the persuasive ability of bullshitting he's worked on all these years. (1) "Listen, you can't leave. I already fucked your sister." (3 vs. 4) Paul's face contorts in a mix of rage and desperation as he swings at William, but the talker dodges his assault.
No more jokes, just sleep.
After a bit of sleep, Mason yawns and stretches. He's still has some black-and-blue spots on him, but besides that everything's back to normal.
(Mason has Healed)Have the foot soldiers drop the van back at the garage, and head into the pub.
return the van, go back to the pub, analyze the cost of fixing up the pub.
As Dave and Jason walk into the Pub, they spot Paul attacking William and some new guy they haven't seen before.
Jason estimates the price of fixing the place up is around two hundred pounds.
Look for valuables! If there's electronics, take 'em! Maybe find a bag to put stuff in.
Aaron goes through the flat, nabbing all the electronics and valuables he can find. There's a T.V. and Computer, though the T.V. is old and bulky, same with the computer. Makes sense, this place looks like it's inhabited by poor folks. He finds some jewelry, but when he examines it, it turns out to be fake plastic. Just as he gives up, Aaron passes a PSP lying on a table. He quickly pockets it.
(+PSP)A pugnacious looking 20-something short guy wearing a black hoodie and tattered jeans walks into the pub. Taking a long look at the debris and bruised up guys, the man shrugs his shoulders and walks toward the bartender who is sweeping up the place.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for a buddy of mine. You know a man named Lucas Wang?"
Find out what's going on!
"Oh he was a wang alright. Led the cops right here and got eletrocuted for his troubles. Dunno why you're here if you're an associate of his..."
Trent walks in and starts a conversation with Alex. Though Alex realizes how this guy might be.
Everyone made a will during the formation of the Syndicate, since gangbanging is a deadly business, and all are kept in a secret location below. In everyone's will they mentioned an heir, to take their place if they die. Alex remembers Lucas mentioned a guy named Trent for his. And no matter what they thought of the deceased member, it was part of the Syndicate code to honor everyone's will.
