Tranquil New York . . . (RP) Started by: Rhuarc on Feb 26, '08 03:40
I used to walk around New York with my Smith and Wesson half out the holster waiting to be bludgeoned by a bunch of thugs with a blackjack for small change.


Now, walking through the streets of New York City at 06:00, I can sense it's changed, the big apple is different. The shops are grander, the bars are calmer, the whole place has a tranquil feel of structure, of organisation. Everyone knows their place, knows their purpose and life seems to be on the up.


Reaching for a newspaper off the stand, I glance at the front page:


"A Second Auth in Las Vegas"


I heard about this, the Wildcards have moved up from a sub-crew in New York to joint owners of Vegas. Good for them!


I continue to read:


"New York Business District thriving"


An article about the latest bars and club's in New York, I thought about the bar I like to frequent. . .


"Put the paper down Rhuarc"


The voice is shaky, he's nervous, nervous is good, I can take advantage of nervous but I can also feel the barrel of a shotgun pressed against my head.


I tell him in as calm a voice as I can muster "I'm putting the paper down nice and slow."


I can feel him looking around, anxious behind me.


*BANG*


I look round and he's on the floor dead, the gunshot was a rifle, knowing they're still watching, I casually pick up the paper when I see at the top of my field of vision in the alley opposite, a figure standing in the shadows. . . .

The figure stands in the shadows and then vanish as he was not there

Leaving you to ponder who was that mysterious man in the shadows

"What the . . . "


I look around, checking the streets to see if anyone else saw anything, it's just me and a dead guy now.


*Siren*


Bugger, the police are on the way!


Was this whole thing a setup? Send some poor schlub to mug me, whack him and let me take the rap?!?


I look around for somewhere to run, the only place with any shelter is that alley!
Report Post Tip
I begin running down the alley for a hope for a door to be open somewhere...anywhere

I run inside of a cracked open door and I see clothes and random things all over the floors


"What the? Better than jail I guess."
