| Johnny and friends | Started by: Johndillanger on Oct 18, '08 17:04 |

Johnny came to America through Ellis Island at the age of Eight. His parents had come with him, but didn't survive the journey over, due to sickness. John was placed in an orphanage, but left when he was fifteen, and has lived on the streets of Chicago ever since. He mostly runs letters and packages for a quick buck, and also has a small fruit stand in a ghetto neighborhood. Him and his group of friends were known as tough guys, and they didn't like people starting trouble with them or their business. Though he has no family connections to any mafias or crime families, Johnny wouldn't mind taking a job as a soldier; it'd definitely pay better than what he's doing now. The night was clearly overtaking the day now, the sun setting behind the tall buildings of Chicago, and eventually dipping below the horizon. Johnny and his long time friend, Trevor, were covering the various bins on the fruit stand and closing it up for the night. "C'mon you lollygager," Johnny said, as Trevor was struggling to untangle a difficult tarp, "We don't got all night! We gotta meet up with Adrian to get that hooch! Hopefully this time, it's better than before.." Trevor finally mangled the tarp flat, and covered the last of the stand. "Yeah, this time Adrian says it's the cat's pajamas, none of that watered down whiskey from last time." Johnny closed the ply-wood shutter, and locked it as he said, "It better be, or we'll be hittin' the hood that sold him the stuff. I wanna get a good edge tonight, been a long week ya know?" Johnny and Trevor started walking down the street, and Trevor replied, "Yeah, has been a long week. Not in the mood for no baloney tonight." They walked a couple blocks, and as they spotted Adrian on the corner of the next block up, Johnny couldn't help but notice two beautiful girls walking towards them. "Eh buddy, look at them dames!" Johnny said, nudging Trevor. Trevor whistled quietly and said, "Damn, the blonde one's got some good gems!" Johnny grinned, and as they walked past them he said, "Hey girls, cash or check? I gotta take you out first or what?" They both just glared at them, and the red-head girl said, "Pipe down you owl, we ain't no pushovers!" Johnny just laughed as they continued on, and Adrian was just rolling his eyes as they approached. "Boy Johnny, you never lay up on the dames do ya?" Johnny just grinned as he said, "Nope, not a chance. So where's the hooch ya shifty bird?" Adrian just leaned back against the pole and said, "Dunno, supposed to wait here. Said he'd meet me outside this butcher at Nine Thirty. It's just past nine now, so it won't be long." Johnny just sighed and said, "Well shoot, this better be the bee's knees or we're gonna have to take care of business this time. Seems like none of these hoods got any respect around here, selling whiskey watered down with apple juice, that's bull." Adrian sighed as he brought out a ciggy and said, "And how, I got my shiv with me tonight, 'cause if that is the case.." Adrian made a cutting motion with his thumb across his neck. Johnny smiled then said, "Yo, butt me Adrian! You owe me from the other day." Adrian handed Johnny one, and gave one to Trevor as well. Johnny lit him and Trevor up with a match, then they stood there, waiting for the bootlegger to show up |
