The Associates Belabor Started by: BrotherHec on Sep 27, '16 19:48

I'm all in. 

BrotherHec did not actually know how to play poker. But he enjoyed making people nervous. He looked around the table staring so ever intently at the faces around. Was he bluffing or was he not. He didn't even know. He got a certain rush from that kind of a thrill. The thrill of ambiguity as they called it. He was not certain that he was going to win but he loved to see the hands of others begin to shake. He liked the eyes that raced around trying to discern if BrotherHec was expecting his win or not.

Whats the worst that can happen? You lose money? You can earn that back.

Fold. Figures. They always fold. BrotherHec took the chips and went up to the top of the club where the couches were. He really enjoyed vegas. Its where he was born. Its where he was raised. Tons of mobsters came there. No one ever really controlled such a prized city. It was not like Dr.Boom and how held Chicago for so long or how the Gatos currently run new york. It was always just an open city. Everyone knew that. Growing up around it, around the mafia, BrotherHec could not help but be immersed in its culture. 

Whats the skinny my man?

Men and women flooded the dance floor showing off their latest moves and it helped when they had that liquid courage in their system. This is the place where BrotherHec did business. This is where he liked to have his conversations. The loud atmosphere. The craziness. He was a complete social introvert. Enjoyed being around them and talking to them but needed his own space to get away.

Finally a song came on and BrotherHec could not contain himself. As he began dancing down to the dance floor one of his associates came rushing up the staircase. 

BrotherHec, it seems there was an attack on one of our members! 

The thought of war. It was not a feeling of excitement especially when you were meant to protect your associates. Protect your leaders. Who was Attacking our people.

What happened? 

The man began to explain in full detail. Him and another associate were walking down the street when a man came up behind him and shot at him. For some reason no one got a good look at his face. It was a bit sketchy as BrotherHec did not realize what could have happened. This has definitely taken his defcon level down a few notches. It was most likely a gangster trying to make a name for himself or seek revenge for his fallen family members.

Alright then. Who was attacked and where?

The young associate looked down at the bar and saw the person who was shot at. He motioned for him to come up the staircase to come speak with BrotherHec. He appeared to be frightened he didnt know who shot at him or why. He did not know who he could trust. BrotherHec put his hand on the shoulder and began to speak to him.

You are safe here. We are going to find out what happened and who tried to hurt you. Justice will be done for you. I need you to explain to me in full detail what happened. Come over here and sit on the couch with me. 

BrotherHec poured a glass of some nice wine that Deces had from her purchased vineyard. It was meant for special occasions. This seemed special enough.

Stewie was enjoying his drink as much as he was his company.
As they were talking about the recent business deals they had done, it could be considered a small party.

As he went to the bar to order some more drinks, he could see a man walking fast towards BrotherHec.
It almost looked like he was running.

Wondering what the reason was, Stewie went standing a little closer, just close enough to overhear the men talking.
It wasn't his habbit to earsdrop but this really got his attention.

"... there seems to be an attack to one of our members..."

The man standing with BrotherHec pointed in the direction of Stewie, that got him a little worried.
Did he get the wrong man?
Did someone wanted to frame him?
What was going on?

His heartbeat went up as the two men came walking towards him.

"This is the man that was attacked", said BrotherHec's associate.

They walked passed Stewie and began talking to the man standing at the bar.
A sigh of relieve could almost be heard.
He did not notice him when he was ordering drinks not five minutes ago.

After talking to the man, BrotherHec offered him a glass of fine wine.

Stewie stepped in and went ahead and asked BrotherHec if he could be of any assistance to help resolve this.

Stewie was willing to offer his time and service to help out one of the members who was assaulted. It should go without saying, but it will be said anyway, that when a person is harmed their must be justice. In the mafia justice is not always the right word to use as much as retaliation is. BrotherHec was absolutely furious that one of the young men was assaulted in the middle of the day. His life could have been taken. 

It is one of those things that there were always two sides to every story. BrotherHec decided to question the young thug a little more to understand if perhaps there was anything that he did wrong against this belabor of a man. Finally after a few moments of contemplating his decision BrotherHec looked at Stewie intently. 

You know Stewie i am not so sure what to do here. You see we have this young guy who was almost killed at what, three p.m. standard midwest time? To me that calls for immediate repercussions. Wouldnt you say? The sort of repercussions that keeps the undertaker in business. Now im not certain i understand what happened between these two guys but if you want to help Stewie what i would greatly appreciate is if you could find another person to help you out on the search of what went down.

Feeling sort of like Sherlock Holmes, BrotherHec looked back at the associate who still seemed shaken up. How could he not. 

Listen kid, you entered this life. This is your choice. If you are scared get out now. You cant freak out when someone takes shots at you. I have had the gun pointed at my face when i protected Deces in the last war. It is not a thing anyone really enjoys but it is something that happens. If it bothers you so much that it will impair the way you function then dont ever let me see you in here again.

It probably was a bit too harsh. It probably was due to the alcohol intake. It could have been many reasons but whatever the reason BrotherHec responded so aggressively. BrotherHec looked at some of his friends sitting around on couches. Staring at their un-phased faces he began to motion towards the crowd.

Does anyone know the dealer in NorthSide? I want to connect with him.

Sophia happened to be in Vegas, it was a nice change of pace for her. Usually it was all business and very little pleasure, thankfully though for her she had some business to tend to out here so she decided to take a couple days while she was here. What a better place to just let loose, drink at any time of the day and take some money from some gangsters.

She had one of those faces that you could just never read, she was really good at poker but didn't really care for it. If she were to sit down and do some gambling you would be able to find her either at the BlackJack table or Roulette wheel. At this point it wasn't time to gamble but it was time to drink and drink hard. It had been a little while since she had drank herself to a point that she couldn't walk straight and what better place to do it then Vegas. 

She was sitting at the bar in the one of the casinos, the bartender just poured her her third vodka on the rocks when she noticed a bit of a commotion going on. Looking up she saw a man that looked quite familiar and in fact a man that she knew. He was a fellow Chicagoan just like herself but he didn't look happy, in fact he looked a bit perturbed. She watched as he pointed in her direction which confused her, she hadn't done anything recently or at least that she could remember that would piss someone off.

Picking up her glass of vodka she took a sip and then another as BrotherHec's guard came barrelling towards her. Figuring shit was about to go down she picked up her glass one more time and chugged the contents. Quickly she rose out of her chair to get ready for whatever was about to happen, the men got to her and walked directly past her. Turning her head to see what was happening the guards surrounded some man.

With a chuckle she turned around just in time for the bartender to fill her glass again. She picked it up and took a drink and thought for a moment about what just happened. It made her curious, she just had to find out what was going on plus to see if any help was needed. Grabbing her drink she walked over to where BrotherHec was sitting in his nice fancy VIP area.

Upon approaching the area she was stopped by a guard.

"What do you want?"

Sophia looked at the guard and smirked

"Excuse you! Don't make me beat your ass."

It wasn't something that she probably would have been able to do but her mouth was fierce and especially 4 drinks now she didn't care what she said. The guard laughed at her response.

"Just tell your boss, I'm here. He should know me."

The black headscarf concealed her auburn hair. Her eyes were glazed over the casino - feeling every eye on her. As cutie walked towards the guards by the entrance, they gave her an iffy look. "What is your deal here Ma'am." 

"It appears that a former associate of a crew that I am in has shot at one of BrotherHec's associates, vying for some.. attention. I would like to speak with him please." The guard nodded, quicker than usual and ordered cutie to step in. The marble floor screamed luxury. Expensive pearl white suits. A man who holds his burning cigar laughs wickedly as he pulls a pile of poker chips to him. cutie knew that this is exactly why he did it. This was the life, wasn't it? cutie remembers witnessing the former associates last words, until her boss gave him one last chance to live life but the associate had to return everything. The weapons, money, drugs... the women. Leaving him with a lesson. Now he has come to the streets of Las Vegas to do more than just intimidate. 

cutie reaches the stairs, and she sees SophiaRivers standing by the office. "Guard, I am with her also. This is important." The casino started to get stuffy, and cutie took off her headscarf. cutie, awkwardly stands behind the lady she had just met and sees many men beside BrotherHec. He notices cutie step forward. 

"I am nothing but a young, naive woman in front of you but I am sorry to admit, that I have also done things that I cannot undo. Before you pull out your gun and call me out, I in fact know the person who shot at one of your men." cutie looks over to the man who got shot at, then looks down and flexes her jawline as her fingers twitch. "Ambrogio came to a restaurant that I often come to when I am here in LV to seek my help, but.. I'm sure you know the consequences if I did that. I saw the gun in his hand. He did not tell me why he did it when I asked, but his backstory was mostly lived out in Los Angeles with my crew - and it's not a very good one. I tried getting him to talk, but he shortly walked out in a huff and puff. Most likely on the way to LA from here, probably on San Bernardino. I have the plate number for the car he used to get to the restaurant, but he could have just stole another car after that. I don't know what he is armed with, but all I know is that he is planning a silent attack on my family too. Help us, please." 

If cutie had to risk her life to help her family, she would do it. She sees the man, who she soon learned was Stewie and nods in his direction.

Offering his help to BrotherHec was very much appreciated and so Stewie joined him in what had to happen.

Whilst reviewing what has been said and planning out what would have to be done, a young lady came walking towards them.
Stewie was looking curiously in the direction of where the guard was standing

"... Excuse you! Don't make beat your ass. Just tell your boss I'm here, he should know me. ..."

It turned out to be SophiaRivers, he had seen her around in Chicago, so he figured she must of been comming to offer her help.
He motioned to BrotherHec who signaled the guard to let her in.

BrotherHec and Stewie were filling in Sophia when unexpectedly cutie came in and offer her help.
Unexpected, because she wasn't a fellow Chicago associate, but turned out to be from Los Angeles.

As she explained what has happened and giving out info about it, she proved to thrustworthy enough to believe her.
Why else would she have risked approaching us?

After she shared her story she looked at Stewie and nodded.
He thanked her for offering her help.

"What's the plan of action, BrotherHec?"

As SophiaRivers walked through the bodyguards, BrotherHec couldnt help but laugh at the fact that this monster of a man was just intimidated by her. Perhaps he knew who she was or perhaps his muscle is just what got him by in life.

Oh Geeze, Ferdinand you...I swear man youre gonna be the reason i get shot. I dont know why i am paying so much for you! Go get a drink or something. Send up one of the go go dancers she will be better protection.

Turning to Sophia he couldnt help but smile. She had a certain warmth about her he hadnt had for many people. Maybe it was their friendship had spanned for such a time or that their friendship was one out of complete sincerity for the other and nothing more or nothing less.

Sophia. My sister. I am so glad you are here. Feel free to have whatever you want the kitchen is still open. I dont own the joint but i give them good money. Anyways the reason we are really here is because one of Deces members was shot at. Now for me this is not something i take lightly. So what i want to do is find out who has more information on this guy. With that said, we may have to look...

As he continued to speak a smaller more fragile person emerged from the hefty bodyguards. She began to speak and BrotherHec listened intently. As she finished explaining in full detail what had happened BrotherHec seemed a bit concerned.

Before i begin...WHAT THE FLYING RATS ASS...I have all you bodyguards and you all seem to bend over as soon as someone says let me through? I swear i am going to start shooting myself if this keeps happening...

BrotherHec couldnt help but laugh at the lack of responsibility on the part of his paid men. Stewie was curious as to what the next step in the process would go but BrotherHec seemed quite concerned that Cutie seen this man and knew he was going after her family.

You are the girl who works with BobbyMunson and Chibs and Bozeman am i right? Youre the girl who has more associates than i do bodyguards am i right? 

He joked with her about her effectiveness with recruiting but was still a little interested as to how she was concerned about the mysterious stranger and the seemingly looming danger that was about to be brought upon the 'BrotherHood' 

Listen Cutie, i think its great you came up here. I dont blame you for not warning someone before they get shot. For all you knew it could have been something Authorized. I need to understand what you mean when you say this guy is coming for your family. Is that just a hunch or do you have proof or what? 

Stewie and SophiaRivers had already been talking about this and that when BrotherHec motioned for their attentiveness.

Now here is the thing, i trust you two a whole lot. The only plan i got is to find out where this guy is. I do want to find out his motives first. So if Cutie can tell us a bit more of where she saw him or describe his face maybe we can get some news out to others and find out if his description matches anyone else.

My hunch is this. A guy who tried taking a shot at an associate of Chicago and is intending to harm LA is probably the son of a former CA. Thats my best guess. Maybe he knew that his father was gunned down from organized criminals, aka the real good guys, and he wanted to take revenge. But this is all speculation.

Stewie you have a couple of guys on the Payroll right? Can you find out if any CA's recently would have been shot down in cold blood and no trace of the murderer was found? 

Sophia do you have any other ideas?

Continuing to think with the three of them BrotherHec looked down the staircase and actually saw Ferdinand drinking alcohol while telling a go go dancer to come upstairs. Ferdinand seemed very forceful with the woman instructing her to protect BrotherHec and ushered her up the stairs.

Also does anyone want a free bodyguard?! ANYONE...!

Bobby was sitting on his couch in his office when the phone rang, he was deep in thought so it took a few rings before he really came to and realized what the noise was. Setting his glass down on the end table he sit's up and grabs the handset. 

"This is Bobby."

"What?!" Bobby immediately stands up and is noticeably alert.

"Okay, where were you at and where are you now?"

"I will let everyone know here at the Brotherhood what happened and what we are looking for."

"Yes, I'm on my way to you right now. Give me a few hours and I will be knocking on your door."

Nearly Four Hours Later

Arriving in Las Vegas Bobby finds the nearest pay phone to contact BrotherHec and let him know he had arrived.

"I'm on my way to the club, I'm going to grab a taxi now."

 Bobby put the phone back on the hook and walked out of the airport to the edge of the curb. Seeing a taxi heading his way he waived it down and as it pulled up beside him he got in. 

"Take me to BrotherHec's night club please."

As the taxi pulled away Bobby reached in his pocket and pulled out a few bills to pay for his fare, as he arrived to the club he handed it up to the driver.

"Keep the change sir, thank you for the ride."

Bobby walked up to the front door of the club, opened it and walked in. He immediately started scanning the place for BrotherHec, when he spotted him he quickly made his way over to him.

"Well I have some eyes out there looking for that bastard that did this man, let me know if you need anything else from me. Do you have any plans yet?"

It's been a while since Vegeta happened to be doing business in a casino, it was the last place he would ever consider but after all he had payments to collect and sit-downs to do almost the entire day while he organized a previous meeting. He sipped from the bourbon glass in his hand as he looked over his shoulder and spotted an office being guarded. He happened to eavesdrop over on some information about a Chicago associate being shot at and wondered what he could to offer his particular "assistance" in other words, someone he knows actually happened to go inside the office in order to discuss the entire shooting. Vegeta approached the entrance to the door as the guard gave him yet another grim look; it didn't seem pleasant which is something Vegeta didn't take well, being looked at by a random bodyguard who has no idea about the back door business really doesn't deserve to be giving a respected mafioso those types of looks.

"What's your business here?" The bodyguard happened to say the moment Vegeta approached.

"Don't give me the run-around, one of my known associates just stumbled inside of here and it's our business. Get the fuck out of the way before I shove my foot so far up your ass the only thing you're gonna be feeling is leather and tasting dirt and dry blood."

Vegeta wasn't in the mood to be getting stopped by a bodyguard after hearing of the associate shooting, he already got hot-headed from the look the guard gave him earlier after he approached the entrance, he got let in hesitantly as it seems the bodyguard's self-confidence plummeted down to the ground, walking inside the office with the drink in his hand as he happened to give everyone inside of the room a quick look; seeing Stewie, BrotherHec, cutie and SophiaRivers.

"Pardon my intrusion. I seemed to get late news of a Chicago associate being shot at, not something I'd like to hear pleasantly but I was wondering if I could offer my "assistance" in the matter, even though it seems like you all have a lot on your hands; who could say no to the will to help, after all; I have connections with some Agents around town that could give me the scoop in on what happened, I wouldn't suppose you guys happened to see the man who shot at the associate around already? I'm asking out of pure luck for sight."

Hours passed and a musky aroma came through the office. cutie knew that she didn't say everything she knew, partly because she was all doing it in a rush. As she opened her mouth again to speak, BobbyMunson and Vegeta came walking in. 

"Ay dios mio, I swear... I will hunt this ma-" cutie quickly bowed her head and shut her mouth tight. She looked at BrotherHec as he closed his eyes then opened them again, and she could just see him turning hot-headed. In fact, everyone was hot-headed. Shooting at an associate is not something you just get away with.

She turns to BobbyMunson for any other information. "This man who shot at one of Deces associates.. Remember him? He was a former associate of ours.." cutie looks at Vegeta and hears his offer to help, she gives him a smile and a nod, respecting him for it while everything was in haste.

cutie tried to think back what he looked like. It had been a while since she could really take a good look at him. "You could be right BrotherHec. At the time he was with Brotherhood, which was quite short, he never mentioned much about CA's... but he also has not seen his father for many years." 

A pen and a paper was nearby, so she took it and started to sketch what he looked like. She had some experience as a criminal sketch artist one time..

Caucasian man... thirty two years of age... Mesomorph body type... Height and weight unknown... Brown eyes... Widow peak hair... 

Well, then..

Vegeta gave a simple nod. He stood there as he heard on what information was given out, afterwards he approached cutie as she was grabbing the pen and paper as he looked over at the sketch, in Vegeta's eyes it looked magnificent; wondering where all her experience came from but he thought he'd save the question for another time to keep time planted on the task at hand so we can faster keep track on who we can look for, then again he was late so he doesn't know much other than the part of Agents and the associate shooting all together. Vegeta studied the sketch with focus, he wanted to take a mental image and memorize it.

"Have you found someone, someone we could possibly track down?"

Stewie returned a few hours after he left the club.

"I asked around, BrotherHec, and there're a few CA's gunned down recently, but of none which are known to have kids.", Stewie continued, "I'll go and see if there are known misstresses.. and find out of any of them have a kid."

Stewie headed back out and halted a taxi and entered it.

"Get me to 'Madamme'"

cutie was still at the casino, now sitting with other people - thinking about what just went down in BrotherHec's office. cutie was about to take a sip of wine from her glass, then she saw Stewie come in. She felt the wine go down the wrong hole and she coughed. 

As Stewie went back down from the office, she saw him go off again looking stressed out. cutie walked closer to him and tried to say hi but the legs on him were quick and steady. "Get me to Madamme......" 

What the shit, is he trying to go to a brothel now? cutie thought.
