High_Society walks out into the cool night. He shivers as he feels the wind chill his skin. "Damn. Looks like another cold night." He puts on his coat and begins his walk down the street. He looks around and sees a few people start to follow him. "I guess they like my watch, eh?" One gets a bit close, and High_Society turns around.


"You want something, punk?"

The hoodlum turns around and looks at his buddies and laughs. He gets out a knife and starts to approach High_Society. As he gets close, High_Society drops his coat and prepares for a fight. He grins as the assailant lunges at him. In one swift motion, High_Society drops the kid, and throws the knife across the road. The others stand in shock, and then slowly back away. High_Society stands up, grabs his coat, and walks off.


"Just another day in the life of a Gangster..."High_Society thought to himself.

As High_Society turns around a corner, he notices a young woman down the street wearing a bedazzling red dress . He stares for a moment, and then tries to look away. "Not too polite to stare," High_Society says with a grin. He slowly walks towards the lass. As he approaches, she smiles at him, obviously noticing his masculine features. She giggles for a moment, and then sits down on a bench, a few yards from where they were. High_Society follows, feeling a sense of adventure with the young lady. He sits down next to her and introduces himself.


"Hello there, miss. I'm High_Society."


"That's a rather peculiar name. Where did you get it?" she asked quite curiously.


"My parents thought it suited me. Your name is?"


"I'm Athena." she said with a smile.

They both smiled, and carried on minor chit-chat. Though it was rather chilly, it was a nice night. The stars were out, and the moon was a beautifully lit candle in the sky. They eventually left the bench, and walked around to get some food.


"This is delicious." Athena says as she digs into her ice cream. The two of them had gotten a couple sandwiches at one of High_Society's restaurants, which turned out wonderful. After that, the two went to a parlor to get some ice cream. After the frozen treats, High_Society walks Athena home. The two meet at the steps, and she asks one final question.


"You never told me what you do for your living." she said to him.

High_Society smiles and gently lands a kiss on Athena. The two blush a bit, and then he responds.


"I run a chain of businesses. If you want any more information, you'll have to let me take you out again."

High_Society smiles as Athena opens the door to her house. Just before she walks in, she turns around and whispers "Well, I guess we'll just have to go out again, won't we?" 


The next day, High_Society walks into his office, immediately hearing from his secretary; "Sir, it seems there's an incredibly zealous young woman on the phone. I suggest you talk with her." High_Society, surprised, walks over and answers the phone.


"Hello?"


"High_Society, it’s me Athena. Sorry to bother you at work, I just wanted to make sure that second night would happen."

High_Society smiles as Athena elaborates.


"There's this great place over on West Main St. I want to meet you there at 8:00 tonight."


"Sounds good. See you then."

High_Society hangs up the phone and gets to work. After working nearly 10 hours, he gets up to prepare himself for his night out. He decides not to bring his gun, as this is a friendly encounter.

High_Society arrives around 8:10, to find no one there. "She stood me up?" He looks around, trying to find Athena. He can't find her. "Well, she may be running late. I was." He takes a seat and waits for 20 minutes or so, then decides there's no reason to wait any longer. Just as he is about to stand up, a young man sits down across from him, and speaks.


"Hello there Mr. Society, How are you today?"


"Significantly worse since about 30 minutes ago, but I digress. Anything I can do for you?"


"Yeah, I found this beautiful young woman named 'Athena', on her way over here” said the man.  It seemed as though she really wanted to see someone. Now I can see who. So, I thought, "She's sure to be worth quite a bit to you, right?" So, let's see if we can come up with a deal…"

Stands up and claps after hearing the story

Encore!!! Encore!!

walks approaches Mr Big and whisper in his right ear

I think he's not done yet, or I dunno.

after saying that to Mr Big, Ari walks to the alley on the side of the street

Big_Daddy182 stood on the opposite side of the street from the apartment. He had been given orders to follow a certain female to a certain location to meet a certain someone. Making sure the Bosses meetings went smoothly was always a low profile task. He liked low profile.


"Damn it's cold out... Should’ve worn my wool socks." muttered Big_Daddy182.

Finally a woman walks out on to the sidewalk, clearly in a rush to get somewhere. Big_Daddy182 looks down at the photo.


"Yup that's her." He said to himself.

He slowly keeps pace on the opposite side of the street making sure to look busy and about his own business. Not long after walking, he notices a dark car sitting next to the sidewalk running. He can tell there are people in it but he can’t make out faces. One of them steps out and approaches the woman.


"Shit this can’t be good..." he sighed.

After what looked like a brief interaction with the person she shakes her head and steps into the car and the car peels off. As it drives away, manages to get a look at the license plate.


"CPTPLNET”…hmmm, NY Tags. I think the boss needs to know about this."

He dashes all the way to the restaurant only to find his boss talking to a stranger at the table. He decides to wait outside for the men to finish talking…

Standing outside having a smoke conveniently near the restaurant, the sound of screeching tires grabs Balthazar_Blake’s attention. He drops the cigarette and bolts out of the alley beside the restaurant. Seeing the car disappearing in a cloud of tire smoke and Big_Daddy182 watching it leave, Balthazar_Blake jogs up beside him.


“That was her, wasn't it?” Balthazar_Blake said.

Big_Daddy182 nodded.


“Great.” said Blake.“Give me the tag numbers and I'll find out what I can while you talk to the boss.”

He hated when things didn't go according to plan. He also hated when simple little things- like a date- were ruined; especially when it looked like bigger problems were on the horizon. Who kidnaps a guy's "lady interest" if they don't want something. Even more peculiar, why so soon after they met? Sure, she was pretty, but how much stake did High_Society have in this gal? Something didn't smell right. Balthazar_Blake kicked the stand up on his Panhead and revved it until the windows around him shook. The car was heading east, and so was Balthazar_Blake.

Se7ven stands on the corner of an alley and the street next to the restaurant. Taking a long drag from his cig and realeasing small puffs of smoke, Se7ven watches with curious eyes as the man drives off on his bike.

Se7ven makes a note to himself to buy a newspaper the next day to follow up on the coming events.

Throwing down his cig, Se7ven places his fedora on his head and promptly walks off towards a hot dog stand.
