The Hollow Point Club is where the city's elite come to see and be seen. Underneath the club is another business. The Beast's Den is where Ruby's darker side comes to life beneath the glamour. It is a dungeon zone built for target practice by the criminal underworld. They can practice on the private range to improve their skills or keep them sharp. The Hollow Point Club is decorated in red, black, and hints of gold. Once you past through the front doors, there is a brief hallway leading to the reception desk. The club was highly exclusive and required reservations to even enter. The average John Q public never made it passed the second set of doors. It was well known to the mafioso but not to outsiders. The club was considered a neutral zone. Mademan could bring their wives or girlfriends without fear. All guns were secured in a gun vault check in room. Not that some men needed guns to kill a guest. Occasionally guns or other weapons managed to slip through into the club. After removal of weaponry, the club was like many others. A dance floor in the center with cozy booths to relax. Waitresses milled about taking drink orders and were expected to be treated with respect. If there was a problem it was handled in the coffee room exclusively by Ruby and a few bodyguards. As you guessed the coffee room wasn't for sobering up the drunk. The intoxicated were simply bounced out the back without their weapons until morning. Now the coffee room was interesting. The sign for it was discreet, but wrapped with leather. Most people would never want to end up inside. However there were a few repeat offenders. Apparently they liked punishment. Ruby remembered one particular client that opened a whole new line of business. It was an enforcer for one of the families. Necktie_Nicky, who had a nasty scar running down the left side of his face. He broke a wine bottle over a patron's head. That wouldn't have been so bad but he pulled a gun. Dealing with danger was Ruby's job. Nicky the enforcer was down on his knees bleeding when Ruby arrived in the room. It was a sound proof room, with chains on the wall and devoid of chairs. One whip hung from a closet door slightly ajar. The possibilities of what lurked inside the closet were even more interesting. "Nicky baby why do you cause me a problem," Ruby said reaching for the whip. The man spit out blood and gave a hearty laugh. "Ruby I actually enjoy our little sessions." Ruby sighed, " you know I have heard that twice before. I just had to change the method of my punishment for it to be effective." Ruby said running the whip across Necktie Nicky's face when she approached. "I might enjoy all your punishments Ruby." Nicky said raising his bruised face. "I see my boys started without me. Hmm maybe instead of punishing you I should just bar you from entering." Bending his head down Nicky began to beg Ruby. "No please don't send me away. It's the first time I found real pleasure in punishment at anyone's hands. I need you to do it!" Ruby tossed the whip down on the floor. " You know sometimes handling your ruthless guys requires more skills than even I possess. I could have the boys whip you." "No Ruby," sweat rolling down Nicky's face not from fear but the liquor and heat. Ruby pulled Nicky's head up by weaving her hand in his hair and pulling him to see her face. " Hell I could use a feather duster." Nicky grinned through his split lip. " I look forward to that too." Ruby released Nicky's hair and his head drifted down suddenly. " You like guns. Hey Three Fingers Theo isn't TwogunsTony and the GunFactoryGary coming tonight to The Beast Den downstairs?" " Yes Boss," Three Fingers Theo responded. " Good haul this sorry ass down to the target range and chain him between positions 2 and 3. You know the empty target zone. I think TwogunsTony had a beef about Necktie Nicky last week." "Are you insane," Necktie Nicky yelled. "It's the only way to be baby," Ruby laughed and stepped out of the room with curses following her. The bodyguards escorted Necktie Nicky to the private elevator. Passing the security team for the elevator. Inside they used a special key to press the down button. This opened up to a cold stone floor. They then followed the corridor to a set of descending stairs. All the while Necktie Nicky struggled to free himself from Benito the Bear and Giuseppe_the_Bonebreaker. My strongest guys built like bulls. Not surprisingly, The Beast's Den was decorated also in red, black and gold. There was an open gun bar for guests other needs. It was handcrafted from pirate ship wood. The shooting club had a pirate bar as well that sold drinks to the range clientele. The pirate items were for Ruby's late Great Grandfather, who was a captain of a pirate ship. She pulled items from the family storage to decorate some of the room. A large original pirate chart of the sea was displayed on the back wall. Ruby didn't care if the VIP area clashed with the red, black and gold. She wanted it to be unique. Barrel tables, red leather booths, along with a captain's table reserved for Ruby and her inner circle. From the VIP section you could see the target range clearly. Necktie Nicky wouldn't be seeing the VIP tonight, as other guards stepped up to help. Curious glances came from gentlemen in the room. Ruby entered to make a statement. "Gentlemen tonight is a unique punishment, not an uncontrolled shootout. Necktie Nicky broke my rules and will be dealt with. For about 15 minutes when TwogunsTony steps in to the range. He will be advised that he has my permission to shoot around Necktie Nicky. I'll even give him permission to shoot one foot. I will be on hand when TwogunsTony arrives." Ruby took a drink from her bodyguard," tonight drinks are on me for the inconvenience. No one else has permission to shot Necktie Nicky. You may of course resume your previously planned target practice. When the doctor comes we will take an intermission to retrieve Necktie Nicky." In the background everyone could hear the cursing and struggle as Necktie Nicky was chained up as a target. " Above all gentlemen remember my rules if not followed result in unfavorable consequences!" "If you gentlemen prefer," Ruby said turn to head back up the steps " The vip cigar room for poker will be opened for those wishing better aesthetic" Yes the establishment has many areas and secrets. Ruby even converted a supply closet into a makeshift safe room for gangsters on the lam. For that deluxe closet with a folding cot and bucket she earned 50,000 a night. Ruby even let Three Fingers Theo have a side hustle. She was amazed he could still work a gun. But he kept a hitlist book for contracts open for business. He provided the service for a cut of the reward. For that privilege Ruby also had him hold the jobs book. The book contained recommendations for specialized jobs. There was a beautiful strategy to owning two businesses in one. The Hollow Point Club shows the world Ruby's wealth, influence, and sophistication. The Beast's Den reveals her discipline, private interests, and the side of Ruby's personality that the public never gets to see. Only the privileged were able to see both worlds. Ruby had an elite list for those permitted to come down to The Beast's Den. Now any mafioso can inquiry about a reservation, but be respectful! |
