It was 2 AM in PHI and Zdeno had just emerged from a Speak Easy in the downtown area of PHI With his fellow Family members Lush and Advantage. The 3 of them had a long day flying between NY and PHI, as Zdeno was only a Goomba, a nobody trying fill some very big shoes that his Grandfather Aang had left him, and Advantage and Lush were showing this noob Mobster the ropes. Times were rough as the economy had crashed 5 years ago and had showed very little sign of improvement to this very day, and the recent war that claimed the life of his Grandfather didn't help things either.  But still they manged to find a way between the 3 of them to keep the family going. 

the 3 of them were so hammered that they had to have all their CA's on call in case they got arrested for being under the influence of Alcohol and having possession of the illegal substance. Hell Zdeno enjoyed the adrenaline rush that night, everything was always more fun for him when it was illegal to do it. That is what made life so interesting. It wasn't long before Zdeno's gut instinct kicked in before he was ducking behind a car as a couple rogue gangsters had drove buy spraying bullets in his general direction, at the same time drawing his gun. He didnt get any shots off but after that incident the 3 of them rushed back to the hotel to prepare for their return to Chicago.

It took a minute for the events that happened 15 minutes ago to sink in. It was Zdeno's first near death experience and it was at the hands of rogues, of all people. Because he was hammered and in somewhat of a daze after the attempted drive by, Advantage had to grab him by the back of his shirt to keep him from stumbling into the middle of the road, and guided him into the Hotel and ushered Lush in before entering himself. The lobby was very large and advanced for its time. it had 6 golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the front counter was made of oak wood and had a granite top. The rugs were red with black stripes and the railings matched the hard wood flooring that is in present day housing. 

After 15 minutes of deep thought Zdeno turned and looked at his comrades and the only words he could make out was " oh shit! $5000 is missing from today's earnings! The Boss is gonna kill me! Not to mention the fact that all 3 of us just damn near died! How the fuck am i going to explain this to Alucard?"

After a long pause, Zdeno continued on..." My Grandfather Aang told me stories of things like this but i thought at the time he was trying to scare out of joining this life of crime. Oh fuck, fuck, FUCK! Never have i been so careless with my money......"

After about 10 minutes of ranting Advantage spoke up, cutting Zdeno off in mid-sentence. " Zdeno, shut the fuck up! you dont worry about that shit! I am about to call the boss and tell him we are coming back early and explain what happened! In the mean time get your shit together we leave for the Airport in 10 minutes!"

Advantage was placed in charge of our mission. he was not only the highest ranking but he was feared by many. if you looked at him up and down for the first time you would mistake for a Bodyguard because of his size. he was about 6'5'' and weighed roughly 200 pounds and word on the street was his father was a well respected Crew Leader in Las Vegas. Advantage wasnt the kind of man to take your bull shit but he would lend you his hand in an instant, and most of all i heard tell that the boss held him in high esteem because of his families over all reputation of being leaders. 

After the 10 minutes was up Advantage came back with some good and bad news. " alright guys Ill start with the bad news first, i wasnt able to get the boss on the phone, he is in a meeting with Godfather Harris at the present time. The good news is i booked us a flight to Chicago, whe have 1 hour to get to the Airport.
