The deal was finalized and TwoFace had bought himself some property in the 12th Street district in Detroit. The building stood there empty for some time before TwoFace knew what he wanted to do with it. After giving it some thought he decided to open up a pawn shop, with the idea in hand TwoFace started to design the shop.

The front of the shop had to big, wide windows lined with bars allowing people to see inside, Guitars were hung up in the one window and had other little nik naks underneath them, while in the second window there was a counter with jewelry, watches all sorts of expensive things. Above the windows was a hanging sign that states “TwoFace’s Pawn Shop” with a black background and red lettering. As you walk into the shop you first take sight of the few rows of shelves that ran down the middle of the floor. Off to the left was a long glass counter with the cash register at the end. Off to the right of the shop was racks of all kinds of coats and suits.

Finally Yvette had an opportunity to wander around like a tourist and so far loved every moment of it. While on her travels she came across a quirky little pawn shop, having previously enjoyed this unusual type of shopping decided to go in and see if there was a bargain to to be had. Yvette also had a very secret love of garage sales, every other  weekend she would make an excuse to be away for an hour or two and indulge her passion for quirky bargains or as other people would describe it, junk.

Entering the shop one of the first things she noticed was the cash register and whether or not there was surveillance cameras, if so how many and did they work. This was just a habit she had and there was no intention for turning the place over for fun or anything else, besides William would go nuts.

Having spent a long time looking around picking up and putting down various items, a guitar caught her eye. Getting closer she noticed an unusual design of roses on the panel. Taking it of the stand Yvette carefully inspected it all over and beamed "This will be a perfect gift!" Bringing the item over to the counter she carefully placed it on the counter top, reached into her bag for her purse ready to pay "I would like this guitar along with its case please"

Luckies was hanging about in Detroit after a pretty decent Cadillac deal. His pockets were doing well for themselves and his truck had some spare space. He was searching for curiosities, as always. This made pawn shops a place where he enjoying going, looking for someone else's prized possessions.

"It's almost as good as robbing them" - he thought to himself.

He walked into the pawnshop, taking a moment to appreciate the lit sign. He was fond of these neon contraptions, mostly because he had no real understanding how they worked. Someone had told him there was some sort of gas inside, but to him, it was just another funny light bulb.

His eyes quickly met the main case, right under the glass counter. The shinning pieces of jewelry were glistering, easily accounting for a few thousand dollars just inside a small case. He picked a few pieces that interested him the most, and narrowed it down to two items. The first was an expensive Swiss watch, dust and waterproof, that didn't need winding up. The second was a beautiful malachite bolo tie. He asked to see them under white light, and the cashier moved with him towards the window, showing him exactly how impressive the tie's stone was. The watch was considerably less flashy, but certainly worth the money - if it owed up to it's claims.

Luckies ended up getting both. The satisfaction he was feeling easily justified the few hundred dollars he had just spent. He also bought a used safe, to safely carry the items back to Seattle, and he was quickly on his way back home - he'd only feel relief when these finds were safe and sound, locked behind one of the many paintings at the office.

Raylan was in a city new to him and he was out of luck. It was Saturday and the banks were closed. He thought of some ways to make some quick cash to float him through to Monday. Once the banks were open he wouldn't have any issues, but the next two days were sure to be horrible if he didn't get himself some walking around cash. He walked aimlessly down a dark street and spotted an elderly couple walking towards him. He stopped them with a smile and explained the situation to them, but they simply scoffed and walked passed him.

Raylan thanked them for their time nonetheless and smiled as he continued on with the man's watch. As he started to walk he looked down at the watch and noticed it was great quality, a German watch, real gold and had a mark of a great watch as the second hand moved fluidly across the face of the watch without ticking. Raylan laughed and made his way out in search of a place to fence the watch. He wasn't from Detroit so he had no usual fence.

It didn't take very long though for Raylan to find a Pawn shop. He grinned and shrugged. He was certain he'd get ripped off, but if he could get a couple hundred to get through the weekend he would be content. Raylan stepped in and walked around looking at the many items for sale. He was especially drawn to the firearms. He looked at them through their case, he was in no position to be shopping at this moment, but he knew one thing. He was more likely to get help from staff faster if he appeared to be shopping rather than selling.

Frank walked in with Gus and Tommy, they looked at the goods in the store then waited until the civilians left before talking to the manager.  Gus watched the door as Tommy open up his small envelope that contained a few diamonds stick pins and a couple of ruby and diamond chokers.   Frank looked the manager in the eyes and said. 

"Face told me that if I needed something fenced that this was the place and you were the man. I'm hoping you can get me the cash quickly minus your fifteen percent cut?

Frank watch the man look over the merchandise and smile he then gave Frank a wink.  He went into the draw behind him as Tommy reached for his pistol but don't pull it as Frank waved him off.  The man turned with cash in his hand and explained that he can sale that stuff easy and gave Frank forty two thousand five hundred dollars after he took his cut.  Frank looked at the man and nodded as he thought that this guy might be cheating him but to hell with it cash in the hand beats a bird in the bush any day.   Frank took the money and gave Gus and Tommy twelve grand each as there share.      

Frank thanked the manager of the pawn shop and then told him that he would be back later with more merchandise for him to unload.  Then Frank and his two partners walked out smiling as they had cash to burn.

Giovanni walked into the pawn store looking for a wrist watch. He was in dire need of one, since most of his business was time sensitive. Sadly, he wasn't stacking cash as he hoped he would be in this new country.

With what little money he had counted up in the back of his mind, Gio walked up to the counter and checked out the watches behind the glass. His eye caught on a small, discreet watch with a leather strap, perfect for social and business meetings alike. It was a bit expensive, but it would definitely cover his needs and allow him to wear it pretty much all the time.

He was certain he would make more money in the near future, so for now, this would have to do. He told the clerk what he wanted, and quickly put the money on the table. After trying it out on his wrist, he assured the clerk he was satisfied and shook his hand, letting his new watch catch some light and cast a reflection on the side wall.

He walked out of the pawn store with a smile in his face and a watch in his wrist, trotting back to the bus he'd need to take.
