Chapter 3: Hitting the Streets
Tom checks around the pub, installing his safe in the basement. He then leaves the pub, looking for a small street gang to recruit.
"Trent, Eloni. If you would be willing to help with some things?"
"Alright! Let's find some random hooligans then."
Help Tom patrol the new neighborhood and recruit some new gang members
Tom, Eloni, and Trent all set out on the wonderful duty of recruiting gang members. After years of doing so, they find the work is similar to Evangelicalism, except instead of the loving merciful protection of God, conversion to the Syndicate was done with promises of money, respect and getting laid.
The trio come to a Basketball Court under the sweltering New Mexican sun. The court is packed with young men battling in an intense match. Tom steps forward after the game is complete.
[3+1] "Is anyone here looking to get quick money and respect on the streets? Need a career where you get paid just for being you?" A large percentage of the players step forward to listen, though a number leave as Thomas goes on with his speech. "Man, I've got no time for this gangbangin' bullshit, I got a real job..." One of the more impressive players makes this statement and leaves, grabbing his bag. A few other follow suit, still, Tom has got an audience of about 6 left, who are interested in his offer.
Purchase the manor for myself and request to have a small enclosed training area built onto the gym and have the 3 spare bedrooms and guest room altered to include 2 single beds rather then 1 double as well as the required wardrobes and such for 2 people.
Single out young attractive female aspiring lawyers who are white.
Look up any orphanages in town and arrange for copies of the files on all white late teen orphans and to email them to me. Divide them by orphanage.
Preston goes to the Suburbs, driving up to the Manor, currently up for rent. He shakes hands with the realtor of the the house, a stout mustached man in his 40's, and goes inside to do business. "So, you looking to rent out? That's a grand. Hey, you got it? Good, good..." Preston discusses his desire to expand the Manor. "Okay, if you put in an order for 8 single beds and 4 wardrobes, we can install those for...let's see...about $1,600. It ain't cheap, but my boss isn't going to let the place look like a shithole. This is a high-class establishment going on here, you follow me? Speaking of my boss, I'll have to ask him before you alter the gym area, we need his permission before we can make big changes to the place. Unless you want to do that yourself.
Preston searches on various dating websites for attractive young female white lawyers. He comes up with a list of a few hundred in Albuquerque, and the surrounding areas. Now he has to specify among his potential choices....
[I assume he meant
single women, as well.]
His search for white late teen orphans is similarly fruitful in numbers, as most late teen orphans are neglected for adoption, seeing as they are only a few years away from adulthood, leaving them little time to be raised and nurtured. Again, now he can specify. Before he can get much more information, he learns he has to do an interview with the state adoption agency, and have a background check and home study, before he can be considered as eligible for adoption.
"That would make him a bit poorer informant. Aside from the pub, though, have we considered transportation yet? It'd probably be a good idea to have a car around here."
Check local used car listings, as well as whatever we have available. Also, take some spare time to clean up the pub (trash, sweep, clean, identify any big projects that need doing). It'd be nice to have a legitimate source of income, and it would help if it looks halfway-decent.
Dave checks the listings for Cars, and finds quickly that there's a dealership not to far from the Pub that specialize in normal, everyday rides. He also cleans the Pub, [4] cleaning off a good deal of the floor, sweeping it of dirt and getting stains and grimes out of the premises. The actually bar needs some work, and the place could use a new paintjob, but it's a definite start.
"Man everything's blurry.... If I die I'm investigating the Aztecs, gonna try and get a number of address or Something....
Mason walks out of the pub, going towards known Aztec territory, muttering and mumble I g and the like, looking for anyone matching the description for Aztec gang members.
Mason exits looking like all hell towards where the
Aztecs are said to hang out, talking to himself like a paranoid crackhead. [Scouting: 6] He stumbles across a few loitering in an alleyway several blocks down. They look at him as he approaches, "Aye' junkie, fuck you want? You need a hook-up or something?" Their clothes are that deep, swampy green.
"Uhhhhhhh..."
Trent rifles through his garbage bag in search of Aaron's laptop
Trent finds Aaron's Laptop buried deep in his garbage bag. How did that get there?
While Trent does that, Aaron scopes out the office and the rest of the bar, looking for anything of value that Charlie might be leaving behind. Not to give it to him, mind you. Just to note that it's there for as soon as Charlie leaves.
Aaron looks around the office and bars areas, for anything that might be left behind. Behind the bar, he finds a few empty kegs laying around. The office seems quite bare until Aaron comes across a strip of paper on it, containing an anonymous phone number.
Look up whether or not any local Taxi companies are willing to hire new drivers.
Freedom checks out the classifieds and internet for any Taxi companies hiring. It looks like this place
Castle Cabs Inc. downtown is looking for new drivers.
