Turn 23: Alas
Background: It is night time
Police Activity: Sharp Street Plaza, Alleyways
Go to my house and change into business clothes, and go to a shop and buy a black suitcase, a cheap but good laptop and new heels
(3) (I assume by your house you mean Richard’s) you walk into Richard’s and change into you business clothes but you get tired and fall asleep on a couch.
Use the four-leaf clover and head for the hideout and, well, hide there.
(3+1) You manage to sneak through the alleyways and avoid the police. (3+1) And you make your way back to the Safe house and sit down, your four leaf clover falls to pieces…weird.
Actions
Hmm, now I need suppliers and distributors...
but first, I will enjoy a nice lunch dinner in a fine eating establishment. (that can't go wrong)
Afterward's, find some local peddlers of illegal goods and get them to work for me-I provide the goods, they sell them, and I take a cut of the profit. Imply that I can keep the law from touching them with my extensive connections.
(6) You head towards one of Sharp Streets fine restaurants and enjoy a fabulous meal. After finishing you head back down to the docks and after asking around you find a shady looking man who after some quick convincing agrees to provide you with imported cocaine for you to distribute, it is of low quality but he promises he can get you about 20 grams per day enough to monopolize the distribution along Sharp Street making perhaps $1000 a day (you choose how much to sell it for it will be supplied to your warehouse). Your negotiating skills still need work though and you enthusiastically offer him $800 a day which is probably all the profit you’d make selling the stuff anyways. You stop and think that maybe Scudwell or Malone could deal with distribution. (Not quite what you had in mind but there were factors like you having no goods to provide that made me choose for you to be the distributor instead. Also your gang influence and rank affected the result.)
anyway, go back to the hideout and sleep
try not to die.
(4-1)Despite having a hell of a walk you make it back to the Safehouse and fall asleep on your bed. You have a nightmare about the fact that Richard probably would have let you sleep at his place and wake in a sweat. You get some rest but are not fully recovered.
I ask Mr Summers to work at our place with a pay of $100 and up to $175, making sure to assure him that we prefer that he wasn't involved in any illegal activities. If he doesn't accept, ask if he knows where to find another good bartender or two. Then check out the bands in the area, asking if they like are working with a gang and if they are free to play at our place regularly.
(1) You ask Mr Summers if he will work for your group and you let slip that you work for a criminal organization, Mr Summers refuses but recommends you visit this place again in the morning and you will find another bartender. You shake hands and thank him and head outside as you round the corner (3) You feel a sharp crack across you back and you fall to the ground winded. As you turn around and look up you see a police officer holding his baton.
“Part of crime in this city eh? Well I do not believe I have seen you before and that likely means you ain’t payin’ me nuthin’. Here’s what we’re gona do your gona pay me $500 a day, and I am not gona break your legs agreed?”
Do a last, dramatic scene before dying/cling to life.
The darkness starts to appear you know things are not going to go well, you hear police running about through the alley. You decide that if you are going down you are taking them to hell with you and stand dramatically to your feet feeling no pain, no weariness nothing in fact but adrenaline! You walk around the corner and see three police officers who are all shocked by the severity of your wounds. You raise your revolver shouting “FREEEEEDDDOOOOMMM!” and fire three shots (1) (6) (5) the first flies into the night the second hits the second police officer in the head and it caves in as he collapses. The final shot hits the third police officer in the throat (6) and blood fills the alleyway. The first officer shouts in fury and raises his gun (2) his bullets hitting you in the chest (4) and because of your other wounds your body simply cannot stay up any longer and you collapse to the ground, your vision becomes black but you smile at least that was dramati….

Locations
Perhaps more beautiful inside than out Richard’s house is decorated all over with tapestries, statues and paintings. The house has many many rooms each well kept and in good order.
Mostly just smaller piers jetting out over the water. The docks of Sharp street are not that busy even during the day compared to normal areas but some cargo ships do sail in and out from time to time. Mostly just fishermen and some shady looking dealers hang around this area.
A small building which has an entrance just out the back of the Hideout. Inside are 6 beds with a footlocker at the end. One of the beds is covered with blood. Toyozo’s crudely scrawled target covers one of the walls. There is a huge hole in the wall.
A lovely establishment inside the small alley behind the Drop is not quite as nice and is mostly filled with dirt and trash.
Vehicles
A small white truck capable of fitting a few large boxes or many small ones inside the back. It an only hold 3 passengers in the front max but as long as there is no cargo it can hold about 7 or 8 in the back as well.
