Chapter 2: Pub
The Syndicate eventually reach a consensus that the Irish Pub would be the best place to settle, at least for now. A blue city bus unloads the Syndicate off in front of the Pub. Before they enter the place, they can spot a group of young Latino thugs hanging around a street corner perpendicular to the Pub. With their tattoos and clothing, it does not seem like they are just poor urban youth, they instead appear to be a source of particular interest that will inevitably come up in the not too distant future. They pause some sort of dice game to visually scan each member of the Syndicate as they walk off the bus and into the Pub.
The interior of the Pub matches the description the Syndicate was previously given almost completely, despite being quite dusty, as if there had been no business in a while. A skinny guy in a jacket hops off the bar counter, "Shit, listen, I thought you said you would lay off if I sent you the money. We're not growing anything in the...hang on, you aren't the DEA are you? Oh yeah, you must be the people buying the place. Name's Charlie. And um, yeah, take it." He slams the keys on the counter. "I'll need the 5 Grand though. Do you guys have that with you or are we going to work out a deal? I'm good with deals, I've fucked with stocks before."
Use my laptop while we're in flight to look up any law firms at our destination that are hiring and make a list of them with all possible details. Also bring up the bank accounts that correspond to my credit cards to see what funds I have available and check my credit score.
Look into young single lawyers who have good records but have been unable to move beyond minor cases, political leaders in the cities families and single young women who've been caught in embarrassing circumstances but are wealthy themselves or have wealthy families.
Also look into any legal companies that recently went bankrupt.
At a local cafe, Preston makes some searches on his computer. His funds net him a spare $6,800 in total assets, it would be a lot higher had some of his investments pulled through. His Credit Score is hovering around 660. A quick search of available law firms brings up the fact that the industry is quite inflated with the amount of Law Grads in the surrounding area, but still it looks like Ibrahim Brothers is looking for attorneys. Contrastingly, his list of aspiring lawyers is quite lofty, and he'll have to narrow his searches before continuing on. As for embarrassed young wealthy ladies, it looks like the young and pretty singer/actress Jennifer Hurston has recently been caught drunkenly twerking at an awards show after-party, according to the local gossip tabloids.
Mason throws most of his clothes on the floor, apart from the necessities, he gets them as dirty as possible, and then gets dirt all over his face, before putting the filthy clothes back on.
"I've got to look the part of the drug addicted vagabond."
Mason goes out the back and rubs his clothes on the grime everywhere, getting real dirty. Charlie sees this through a window and comments, "That dude's a fucking weirdo."
