After a long day of meetings Noah stops home for the evening at the Starbird Apartments. He parks his car and enters 's his room '''say How good it is to be home.

Noah picked up a Pizza and has some whiskey at home says he going home for the day.. He pulls in  Starbird Apartments. He enters and sets the Pizza down and takes his suiit off, to relax and watch the Ohio State game.

There wasn't a lot of time left for Figment at the hotel and his name could only go so far to getting him an extension for another couple of days, sadly not having made a name for himself yet was causing his credit line to be a bit lacking. There had to be something for him to do, but what? Calling up a few of his friends, he made the deal of a lifetime; he would sell all of the perks he had accrued from his time in the underground and use the income to front a brand new venture, but first, he would need a place to stay.

Starbird Apartments

Walking into the main room of the place, he slammed down a few thousand dollars onto the counter which honestly didn't really do much, but he had always preferred a bit of flair while doing anything, even something as mundane as buying a new home. Making his way to the room, he settled in quickly as he only had a few possessions that he called his own.

Now that his living situation was settled, it was time to build something here. This city was in desperate need of his services, and if there was one thing he could do... it was... service.

Alessia headed to Detroit with Bentley.  Bentley wanted to make sure he took care of the end of the year business with the Managers.  He wanted to make sure they received their end of the year bonuses for they had done a great job all year long.  He also wanted Alessia to meet Big Moe and get settle into yet another apartment.  Big Moe had been his girl’s bodyguard for a number of years and would also be her bodyguard.  Alessia insisted she didn’t need a bodyguard following her around but Bentley wasn’t hearing any of it.  He would get very upset with her when he thought she wasn’t taking the business seriously.  She just wished he would lighten up. She knew things could get dangerous.

The Starbird Apartments was quite different from what Alessia was used too. The building was   secluded and very ordinary looking, nothing like the upscale entrance of the others. They were still greeted by a doorman who held the front door open for them.  What a difference as she stepped inside, the lobby was stunning. Once inside they were also greeted by a rather good looking, very tall and large man, who seemed to be just a little older than her.   Bentley introduced her to Big Moe.  He had a warm smile and when he came over and hugged her with a confidence like, I got you.  She had always been protected but this would be the first time that she would have like, a personal bodyguard. She liked him right off the bat.

Bernard the General Manager came over greeted them and took Alessia on a little tour of the place.  They quickly peaked into the lounge, game room and cafe. She just couldn’t believe how decked out the place was.

She guesses that Moe was already on duty because he followed as Bernard and she entered the elevator to be taken to see her apartment.

At the door Bernard gave Alessia the keys and told her he hoped she loves the apartment and left.  She opened the door and Moe waited to be invited in. 

Once inside she and Moe looked all around admiring the furniture, telling each other which things the really liked.  Then Moe told her they needed to sit down break in the bar and have a little talk.  We each fix ourselves a drink and sat down.  Moe explained to me his job, how it would work making sure I was agreeable to what he was saying.  He assured her that  he would try very hard not to invade her privacy but for her to know he will always be somewhere in the back ground or close by.  They both knew it was going to be a relationship they would have to build and get use to but Alessia let Moe know she was game.

Noah pulls on and parks where He lives at the  Starbird Apartments. Noah carry's a 12pk of beer and going in to watch some football and chill.He enters and drops his jacket over the chair and opened a Beer' and grabbed the remote, to put the game on..

Hello , and Noah orders a medium pizza with the works and gave them address, She says considered it done Sir' Noah,  \o/

NiaVandross explained to Templar that she acquired an apartment in the Starbird Apartments which her uncle Bentley owned.   She told him she had never been there before but it was an apartment that had to master suite bedrooms and he was welcome to stay there with her. It really didn’t make sense for him to find a hotel room and he agreed.

Her uncle told her that Bernard Miles was the General Manager and would be expecting her.

When we arrived there, Templar and I just looked at each other, surely wasn’t what we expected. We walked inside and it was day and night.  The inside was stunning.  The front of the business office had a large glass window and Mr. Miles notice us approaching.  He came out and greeted us saying I must be Nia, I told him I was. He wasn’t the type of man for getting into small talk with people because some perceived it as getting nosy at first. He likes to get to know people first.   He just retrieved my keys and escorted us to my apartment.  While going up in the elevator so he didn’t get it twisted I introduced him to Templar as my business partner, that he would be staying here until we squared him away with his own.   When were arrived at the apartment door he opened it and handed me the keys, then said an extra set would be right up with our luggage. Templar thanked him pulled out a nice tip and gave it to him.

As we walked through the apartment it was beautiful. It had a large living room, entertainment area, dining room, office, a large kitchen. There were three bathrooms, one in each master bedroom and one for quest. 

There were still some lovely clothes in on bedroom closet and female toiletries, so I told Templar that I would take that one.

We put our luggage in our bedrooms and went back into the entertainment area.   Templar got behind the well stocked bar pretending to be the bartender.

“What type of drink would you like my dear” he asked.

Business after business was a complete bust, failure, complete joke! Nobody was drinking his wine and even less had bought one of his many well constructed and modeled cabinets. Plummetting sales of his new orange zest bourbon in an attempt to take the southern markets by storm had finally thrown him into the red and he could no longer keep his two-hundred-acre ranch in the outskirts of Detroit; he would have to move back into the city and so with that, he went back to where it all began-- Starbird Apartments-- it was nice enough and he could fit all of his guitars into the second bedroom.

"I can pay you forty dollars per week."

After a bit of haggling, he had a room and his life started anew. He would amass another fortune because you couldn't keep a good Figment in the back of your mind. He'd always find a way out front. 

NiaVandoss went down to the business office to chat with Bernard the General Manager.  They sat and chatted a little while about the residents. He then turned to her with a concerned look on his face.  He commenced to tell her that there was a very nice resident Figment who has fallen on bad times and he would like to take care of his lease payment.

Nia told him that wouldn’t be necessary.  “We take care of our own.”  She told him to assure Figment that he had nothing to worry about, his lease would be taken care of until he got back on his feet.   She then ask Bernard if he thought Figment could be trusted and he answered “yes”. She told Bernard to tell him that she had a job offer for him. To tell him it’s not completely legit, requires a very loyal person but generates good money.

Bernard thanked Nia, told her he would relay the message. If Figment was interested he would set up an appointment to meet with her.

With his failed investments piling up and the Alligator Petting Zoo in LA not garnering as much attraction as he thought that it would, Figment's eyes lit up when he was told that there would be work in the city. Typically selling drugs was his only way of income and lately, the cocaine hadn't been as prosperous as he was used to; surely things would pick up in that regard but in the meantime, other venues of gathering the green stuff were needed and so with that he set off to meet up with Nia.

Given only very little details of the event in question by a man who only addressed himself as Bernard, he was pretty unsure of what the work entailed but getting his hands dirty was part of his status quo. Knocking on the door to where he assumed that he would meet Nia there was a short wait for an answer before the door opened slowly.

"I was told there's money to be made."

With that, he waited for more details and in invitation inside. It was kind of cold.

Big Moe answered the door of the small conference room and invited Figment inside and introduced him to @NiaVandoss who was sitting at the conference table.   She had already done a little investigation on him and received word that he would be trusted.  She told him to have a seat and that it was a pleasure to meet him. 

Nia started off with some small talk about life in general so she could get a feel for him and he could be more comfortable with before she started talking about the job.

We just open the Café Colombian Detroit and looking for a top notch security man.  The Café is buzzing with business.  To be honest you are more security for the operation in the back upstairs on the second floor.   Your job right now would be to make sure we have no problems and to make sure you check out everyone especially anyone looking suspicious like the Feds.  We will meet at the Café I will show you the entire operation.  Right now the job pays three hundred a week with the possibility of going to seven hundred. Do you think you might be interested?

He took in all of the words that Nia said as she spoke and gave a solemn nod every once in a while to show he was paying attention. Yet his mind was not all there, simple bodyguard work? It felt almost too simple for the man after all he had been through, but upon hearing the offer of cash his mind changed its tune-- his father had taught him one thing in life and that was to never turn down a well-paying job no matter what it was or who was offering you it, which would help explain how he got into this line of work in the first place.

"Security? I can provide that. I've already got the tools.", tugging at the pistol in his pocket he flashed a wry smile and stood up from where he was now sitting. There didn't need to be a long conversation he had thought to himself, he already knew he would accept the job and that he could manage it without much of a fuss. 

"So when do I start?"

Walking over to NiaVandross to shake her hand and enter a verbal contract he couldn't help but feel like things would end up a lot more complicated than she was leading on. Cocaine was a profitable business and people always wanted their slice of the profits, but he would be up to any challenges.

Geodude was staying the night at the Starbird apartments. After tossing and turning for a long time trying to fall asleep he gets up from his bed. He leaves his room and ventures out onto the rooftop to check out the city lights. Something in the distance caught his eye, a fiery light flying in the distance. He rolled forward to get a better view but he didn't realize that the roof sloped downwards. The momentum of his roll carried him forward and he fell off the edge. With a thud he hit the ground and was crushed to gravel.

Geodude died.

MissNiki heard there were several tenants that had recently "relocated" from this apartment complex so she decided to go in and speak to the current business manager about 2 apartments. One for her, and one for her brother, Kevin__Kelly. As much as she loved him, they definately could not share an apartment together. He had many visitors of the female variety, and these visitors tended to be very loud at times. He was also a slob, and much preferred to throw his dirty laundry on the floor, as to put it in a basket. She was his sister, not his wife, so, if he wanted to live in constant chaos, it was better that they lived separately. 

The manager said both apartments were furnished, that no one had claimed the items when the tenants moved out abruptly. MissNiki didn't mind that, it would save her time. She knew she wasn't going back to New York anytime soon, the feds were probably still watching her old place, so this suited her fine.

He told her the rent, and she gave him 3 months for two apartments in advance, as well as an extra thousand dollars to be blind to their daily comings and goings, and who they were with. She had found if you offer an incentive, people tended to clam up pretty well. She told him they would be moving in today and he handed her two sets of keys. She put them in her purse and headed out to meet Kevin. 

After Ed was being being at a party he didn't want to be at he needed a place to rest his head for the night. And because his music career was picking up he decided it was time to lease an apartment perhaps he could split the bills with LilMissSunshine

Adrian walked into the Starbird Apartments and checked into his new joint.  He was happy to have a place to rest his head and enjoy the baseball game on the radio.  He now was a part owner and was making ligit income.   He smiled when the guys came over with food and cold beer.  They eat sandwiches and drunk beer as the team was winning.  5-2 in the bottom of the six they were playing the white sox's and he had a hundred on the game.  

They started playing cards and it was his day as he was winning.  The Tigres won up 5-4 and he won three hundered from his bookie and two hundred from the card game.  The boys went home after cleaning up the joint and Adrain made a phone call but she didnt pick up.  He went to bed still happy with the days outcome.   

Devante sat in his Den thinking about his next move.  He wanted to step into a new racket but he didnt want to step on any toes.  He was thinking about the teachers unions, constrution or the port workers union. smiling he went with all three.  Getting in was easy both were planning a strike and they always needed money and muscle to protect them against union busters and scabs.  Devante would have Sosa supply the muscles and Beans to make the tribute with the understanding these were loans which they would return in the form of access to loaning the pensions to wealthy business owners for a fee and they would get a fee from the borrower.
