| Grieving Graves | Started by: FastFingersFreddy on Sep 04, '15 19:31 |

Stepping from the boat, then flying to a small town out in the west called LasVegas. FastFingersFreddy wandered the streets of his new world looking for that place that he can fit in. Hitting a few speakeasy's he get a lead on a night job. He is told to go and watch the workers at the Grave Yard. Not knowing what to expect Freddy goes for a walk across town. Arriving at the chapel outside the Grave yard Freddy lights a cig and watches the men digging many holes in the ground. He had heard there was a big push of a crime family called the "Durdens" They tried to overthrow a new strong man in LV called "Seph" Turns out Seph had other plans. Calling in a few favors Seph walked all over the Durden Spawn, he heard from a passing civilian that Seph wacked TylerDurden in his sleep, but no one would confirm this.
Back to watching the diggers he saw a bunch of people being put under the ground. I can do this he thought.....does not take any brains to dig a hole and throw something in it. Sitting and watching some more Freddy falls asleep on the edge of the Chapel and does not wake for over 24 hours. Jumping up Freddy sees night as fallen but his jet lag was gone. Stepping away from the Chapel Freddy stops and sees more activity in the dusk of the evening shadows. Carefully Freddy slips behind a tombstone and watches in horror. There we men and women digging up the bodies of the dead, taking their valuables and then putting them back in the ground. What a ghastly thing he first thought. Moving away from the Grave Yard Freddy began to wonder. No one is getting hurt, the people that were buried did not need there jewelry any more, what was there to lose, a little sweat did not hurt anyone and he was sure he was going to make more money robbing the graves than he would digging them. With the last of his cash Freddy went and bought a pick and shovel.
Finding a small apartment and working out a deal with the landlord Freddy found a good view of the Grave Yard from his window, this way he would be the first to know when someone was buried and where a good mark would be. He did not have to wait long, grabbing a lunch form the local order and run diner Freddy made due for the next few hours. He saw that the police seemed to walk through the Grave Yard at about 8pm and never return tell the next evening so Freddy waited for 24 hours and went to work at 10pm With his heart pumping madly Freddy went to the first grave he saw. Digging like a mad man Freddy found the stiff and searched the body.....there was nothing......Damn what did he do wrong? Burying the body again Freddy went back to his apartment tried and hungry. Waking up at 6am with only an hour of sleep Freddy set in to watch the Grave Yard for a 48 hour vigil. He needed to know how these Grave Robbers did their deed. It was not long by the time someone was buried, as he watched the people coming and going from the grave site it seemed like this guy was well known. Maybe this would be a good target. "NO" stick to the plan watch what happens........Freddy woke up again when his head hit the window sill with a thump. Seeing he had slept for a few hours he was mad at himself for not having the stamina to do this easy thing, making himself some coffee he went back to watching. Freddy noticed that a person who looked like they worked for the Chapel was walking in the Grave Yard placing a black rose on the grave of the man who was just buried that day. It was 24 hours after the placement of the Rose that man was digging like a madman. Freddy watched has the fellow pocketed a good amount of loot. It could have been his if he would have gone earlier but he had the info he needed now. there was a 24 hour grieving time for all that were buried. After that time any grave was fair game. The one he dug up the other day had already been picked clean. The next night Freddy was out looking for the 24 hour Stiffs. Working through the night Freddy cleaned out 3 graves, now to find a fence for this stuff. Finding a fence was not a hard thing here in Las Vegas they seemed to be on every corner. Freddy made a small amount of cash, it was enough to pay his rent and get some food in his fridge. Tomorrow was another day and Freddy was ready to go to work. Digging like a mad man Freddy went through 5 graves the next night and scored big.......when he went to his fence, his fence said he could not buy this stuff and give Freddy a fair price. He past Freddy a card with an address on it "Ask for KingAlucard" he can give you what it is worth. Looking at the address Freddy knew it was only a few blocks away so he went for a stroll through a nice park where many people were enjoying them themselves and talking to a wonderful looking lady who people were calling "Cin" Down a few more streets and Freddy found the house he was looking for. Knocking on the door Freddy stepped back off the porch just to make sure things were safe. When over from the side of the House he heard "Hey you looking for a fence" Freddy looked and saw a fellow not very well dressed but he gave off a very sure attitude that he could help Freddy. So around the corner and into the alley Freddy walked. Waking up in a daze Freddy realises he was just mugged by one of LV finest. As his eyes began to focus he heard "He sarge he is waking up do you want me to put him down again"? "No once is enough for this whelp" came the answer. Standing up when he could see clear again Freddy saw he was in the local jail. Gripping the bars Freddy sees a big man approaching him. "Son being that this is your first offence I will let you off with a warning. Don't do it again. Well I mean don't get caught or the plenty will be stiffer and you will have to spend time with Bubba. As for now I will release you to be on your way". Has Freddy clears the police station he sees that he does not have his trinkets from the graves, turning to ask about them he decides not to say anything when he saw one of the rings he found on the policeman that had just talked to him. Nodding his acknowledgement Freddy takes this lesson as one learned and never to repeat. Heading back to his apartment Freddy decides that if he was to make easy money he should find some protection from the locals. So tomorrow he was going to find himself a crooked cop. After a struggle and a weeks worth of looking Freddy finds a reasonable crooked cop he can work with to keep him jail free. Now back to work. Having good run for a few days little hauls from a few dollars to as high as a couple worth 15k each. This was turning out to be a good business to be in. Waking up after another night of digging Freddy checks his mail. Bill bill bill ....now what is this a "Bank Book" with my name on it. Freddy never opened a bank account to his knowledge at least LOL. Walking around the corner Freddy finds a local back and walks in. Going to a teller Freddy offers the books to the young lady behind the register. After a few strokes of her keys she writes in the balance of Freddy's account. There in Bold Numbers Freddy sees: New Balance: $ 500,000 Dollars Smiling Freddy tips his hat to the young lady and walks from the bank.......looking around Freddy was sure he was being watched, so he took a different way home and went down a few alleyways. Reaching his place Freddy sees he has more mail. Opening the mail at his kitchen table Freddy reads: "Keep up the good work and you will see more benefits" There was no forwarding address or even stamp so Freddy knew that this was not the work of the postman. A few more days go by with no incidents that were not normal at least. He did find the fence who was called KingAlucard and they hit is off and he was a good man to hang with and was introducing Freddy to some very important LV people. The morning after Freddy figured he had made his 50th Grave Robbing he saw another Bank Book for a different back this time. Running down the streets Freddy bursts into the bank fast and hard enough that the guards jumped to their feet. apologising Freddy approached the teller. Smiling she say hello mister Fast how is your morning going? Freddy stares blankly at her blinking his eyes. New Balance: $ 1,000,000 Have a wonderful day sir Freddy walked out of the bank in dumb silence. Arriving home Freddy sees another blank envelope in his mail box. Walking in the house with it Freddy sits down and opens it : "Keep up the good work more will follow" Freddy knew he was needing some protection now....all rich men had a couple of thugs working from them. Walking down to the local pub Freddy went and checked out the local thugs. Hiring himself a couple of local bouncers Freddy felt a little more at ease. Of course it was a pain in the ass to sneak out past them when he went to work that night. Working a few more day produce another envelope in his mail box, walking to the bank he walked with confidence up to the teller this time. "Could you updated my book for me my dear it has been awhile since I was in" New Balance: $ 5,000,000 Thanks your a sweet heart, and gives her a 20 for her own. Probably the first tip ever given a bank teller but Freddy did not care. Talking to his BG's Biff and Buff they said they had a few more friends that would be good at this kind of work so Freddy hired them to. Not wanting to forget the Graves that put him on easy street Freddy worked even harder and faster. He even found the priest that was marking the graves. Of course tipping him was more expensive than any of the graves that Freddy had ever dug up but when he was in a hurry the priest was a sure thing. Freddy had now dug over 150 graves and had 3 different bank accounts totalling 6.5 million he wondered if there was more to this gravy train. On a dark a gloomy day of digging his ass off Freddy returned home and saw another blank envelope in his mail box. This time Freddy got washed up and shaved got into his best suit and drove to the West Indies bank across town. KingAlucard had told him to act the part and people would believe you more, Freddy was beginning to believe it. Walking to the teller Freddy wiped a little sweat from his brow. New Balance: 10,000,000 Freddy was glad he was sitting when the total was checked twice. Freddy knew his days were up in the Grave business with this capital Freddy could do anything he wanted to do. Walking later in the park the following day Freddy spotted a young fellow that looked like he need a hand. Freddy invited the lad back to his place and explained what he could do for money in this fine city of LV -Roco- was new to the LV so Freddy past him his pick and shovel......Have fun lad. Freddy then drove away to his new home on the hill and when he was downtown KingAlucard and a place he could hang his hat when he was to drunk to drive home. |

Night falls. the priest has gone home and all is quiet for a few hours. There is a rustling outside. A man is standing there dressed in a tattered hooded cape and holding some sort of...what looks like a walking stick. Behind him is a gigantic man covered in red hair carrying a burlap sack. The man in the cape points at an open grave and then the hairy man dumps the sack into it. "Beastman is good servant to Lord Skeletor" |

As the man who has now revealed himself as Beastman talks to the man in the cape, the caped man raises his head and begins to look around. His face, it was....bone...no flesh, no muscle, just bone. Seeing that no one was around, he says something uninteligible to the Beastman and they both turn and leave. |

As they begin to leave, Beastman hears something. He looks in the direction of the sound and sees a man standing in the window. It is not quite clear who it is through the blur from the liquid on the window. Beastman tells the caped man what he heard. The skeletal faced man stops and turns to look in that direction. He too sees someone in the window. He gives a command to Beastman and points to the window. Beastman begins to bound toward the building and finds a door. He begins pounding on it. BANG BANG BANG! |

Climbing out the window Freddy grabs his jacket makes it up the fire escape over the top of the building towards the chapel. |

Recognizing the jacket, the skull-faced man gives another command to Beastman. "Come away from there! I know that man. He is not to be bothered" Beastman looks a little sad, but obeys his master. |

Freddy jumps on the roof of the chapel, looking back to see if he is gaining any ground on the beast. Sliding down the wall Freddy walks through the alleyway between the buildings. |
