Chapter 53: Apprenticeship
Alex jots down the location's address before heading back to the pub.
Alex takes down
'Jagged Way' as a notable address and heads back to the pub.
On the way back, he notices a man being mugged in an alleyway.
"Grab a pistol and a silencer, and meet me in the alley just outside the pub. We're gonna do a bit of breaking and entering for fun and profit."
Loot the body while I wait for Mal to get here.
Aaron sends Mal a message as he loots the body.
(+$50, 1 Credit Card) Mal quickly calls back. "I'm going to have to do a bit of work to get a silencer, they aren't the easiest things to get you know."
"Ok the , I'll take a few of you as apprentices of sorts to learn how. Also, can you put me in touch with your friend?" Dave asks, looking around for volunteers.
Ask for volunteers to learn vehicle maintenance, and pick up three knives for our level 2 melee/level 1 knife footsoldiers. Inconspicuously.
Dave asks the footsoldier for his friend's contact information. The soldier inputs the number onto Dave's phone.
Meanwhile, Dave turns to Doug. "Can you learn about vehicle maintenance?" Doug replies, "I know some stuff already." They both go off to pick up three knives. Dave finds three folding knives at a convenient Flea market near the middle of town.
(-$45) (+3 Flip Knives) As they shop around, Doug motions to another place in the market. Dave sees what he's talking about, there's a Vice Lord shopping around too, unaware of their presence.
"I've found another Hawkson boys hideout, I need you two to create a distraction round front while I light the booze, either of you have any money for matches?"
Talk, check if I did steal the matches, show the two the hideout.
Mason talks to his apprentices. "Money? Yeah, I got enough for matches." Mason feels in his pocket that he has matches.
(+Box of Matches)Mason shows the two of them the bar. "Alright, you two need to set up a distraction." Paul & Sean talk to each other about how to make a distraction. Finally, they get a plan. "You give me my money!" "Fuck off you son of a bitch!" The two start fake-fighting in the middle of the street. Patrons of the bar, both civilians and Hawks, come out to watch.
William takes the rifle.
"Thank you. Is there anything else you need us to do?"
William takes the gun, admiring it.
(+HK416 Assault Rifle)The two Long Shou shrug.
"Nothing really. Do you guys need anything?"Ryan made a few calls to his fellw kings and engaged in as many conversations in passing as he could regarding his new little enterprise. Basically, once he and Fyfe had made some product, it needed to be sold.
Consult with the other syndicate members about distribution of the upcoming product... as in how to shift it, and where.

Seeing the text from his fellow king, Trent started going through several places in his head.
Hey Ryan! How about this shithole?
The Tenement: A hidden basement in an inner-city tenement. Despite being inner-city, nobody notices it's exsistence besides some crackheads, and it's virtually soundproof. The owner is fine with you all staying there, provided you pay your weekly rent.
We almost used this place as our original hideout apparently. Sounds like it could be a decent spot for distribution.
Ryan contacts the other Kings, discussing the process of distribution. While this happens, a footsoldier comes in and puts all the building materials, now delivered, onto his table.
Meanwhile, Ryan gets a detailed text from Trent about a tenement in the city. Sounds interesting.
"So seeing as you two are now my Knights, I want to make sure the two of you got everything you need to complete your jobs.
Berk, It's important that we start expanding our territory soon. No one's gonna take us seriously if all we have to show for our gang is a fucking mattress shop.
Doug, we're going to need tough and fast cars to move our men to where we need them. You never know when we're going to have to hit up a rival gang or make a run from the cops.
If you two think you need anything special from me then now's the time to mention it. If not then you two can get to work. If either of you start having issues then give me a call and I'll see what I can do."
Trent discusses his plans with his apprentices. He instructs Berk to expand the territory. "Got it." He turns to Doug and gives him the task of finding a good car. "Yeah, I'll see if I can get something." They both head off to their respective duties, ready to give Trent a call if need be.

Blake buys some grenades from Imari.
