Kansas City, Missouri

Claude got off the train with Tobias and Micheal they were in Kansas City. It was fall Claude's favorite time of the year he loved seeing the leaves change colors but he wasn't in Kansas City to look at the fucking trees. He was here on business BrotherHec sent them down there to handle a problem and they were going to take care of it. They were having some trouble recently with a crew from Kansas City they were sending their guys up to Chicago and moving in on BrotherHec's turf. People stopped paying protection money, envelopes started getting lighter, and the boss was pissed.

Claude, Tobias, and Micheal starting busting some heads and looking for info on the streets hitting up the bars, coffee shops, brothels, beating up small time thugs for any little bit of information on who really ran this town. They got lucky one of them spilled the beans after getting a brutal beat down from Tobias. Word on the street was that Frank Strozzi ran Kansas City he was a pretty ambitious guy and wanted to take over the Midwest he was planning to take over Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit to build a large empire. He was set up at a hotel downtown but lived out in a quiet neighborhood in his mansion they would have to wait until he left the hotel and headed home they couldn't strike the hotel and go in guns blazing the hotel was guarded like Fort Knox they would be dead in seconds.

As they waited a woman walked out of the hotel and Claude couldn't believe his eyes it was her, Catalina. Immediately he started remembering the bank job from a couple weeks ago "Sorry babe I'm a ambitious girl and you..." She had told him "You're just small time." before shooting him and leaving him for dead he still had nightmares about that day. He loved her ever since he fist met her back in Detroit. Claude was doing work for small time guys as a getaway driver small stickups robberies that kinda thing. They met at a bar over some drinks that led to something else that night they went out to rob a corner store together it was fun he felt a rush he never felt before in his life. Soon they ran away together hitting places all over the Midwest for six months until that one bad day when she broke his heart and shot him.

Here she was now in Kansas City small world ain't it? Claude saw her leave the hotel and heading somewhere else he immediately followed after her.

"Hey man where the fuck are you goin?" Micheal said "We got a job to do you can't be out here trying to chase random women."

"That can wait this is personal."

Claude took off leaving Tobias and Micheal they looked pissed that they had to do all the work now. Claude followed Catalina but kept his distance he didn't want to be spotted this was his only chance. She was carrying a briefcase and made her way into a construction site. He waited then made his way up with an elevator he overheard Catalina speaking with some man.

"I've got boatloads of Heroin and Coke ready." He heard her say "I'm just waiting for your people to give show us the money and it's a deal."

"You're a hard woman to do busni-"

Bang Claude killed the man she was talking with

"Remember me?" Claude said

"You? I left you bleeding out in that bank how the hell are you still alive?"

"Breakups are always hard to get over."Claude said "I thought I got over you but then I see you walk out of that hotel what the hell are you doing here in Kansas City?"

Bang Catalina shot Claude in his leg it caught him off guard

"You know you talk too much..."She said "It's one of the reasons I left you, I prefer the strong silent type."

Catalina ran away and Claude was left bleeding out in some construction site in Kansas City

Micheal followed Claude silently and from a distance. He knew he shouldn't, but he also knew that when Claude runs off like that, especially after a girl in hostile turf, it's bad news.

"Dammit Claude, what the hell did you get yourself into..." 

Micheal grumbles to himself as he sees Claude follow the girl into a construction site. Pulling out his pistol, the mobster checks the clip to ensure it's fully loaded just in case things get awfully ugly. Suddenly a gunshot goes off, Micheal freezing but quickly realizing the sound of Claude's pistol. He lets go of the breath that he was unconsciously holding, sighing with slight relief as he position across the street to the entrance behind a dumpster.

"Right, so Claude probably just shot someone. Great, more grave digging for me." 

He curses under his breath, waiting for either Claude to walk out of the site, or for shit to hit the fan. Unfortunately, it seemed the latter was true, as suddenly a second gunshot goes off and the girl hauls ass out of the site. Micheal pops up from his hiding spot, firing a few rounds at her, grazing the woman's arm and putting a round in her briefcase. 

"Damn, got away. Dumb broad won't be so lucky next time." 

He curses at his shoddy marksmanship before rushing across the street into the site, finding Claude shot in the leg. Micheal kneels down, tearing off a bit of his own shirt to tie up around the bullet wound, managing to stifle the bleeding for the most part, suddenly thankful that he actually paid attention to those shitty Boy Scout lessons he took as a kid.

"God Dammit Boss, this is why we don't go around chasin' broads while on the clock. Cmon, let's get out of here before the cops show up to investigate. Tobias is waiting down the block with a car." 

He sighs as Micheal slings Claude's arm over his shoulders, and gets the Made Man onto his one working foot. The two stumble out of the site, and after sliding into the car Tobias managed to "acquire", speed off into the night.
