"Arthur was it? Liam doesn't normally involve himself in... American politics shall we call it? That being said mind if I ask what's your relationship to Liam?"
"Well... Shall we say he was a good employee who found his way to America."
Brick began looking Arthur up and down through narrowed eyes, trying to decide whether this were true, or the purest form of bull shit he had ever heard.
"The people Liam reports to.. They only hire true green or-"
"Marriage. My wife god rest her soul." Arthur admitted. "I'll just leave it at she was the sister of someone important. They saw a use for me and the fact I saved his and a few other's lives helped the matter immensely.
'He's definitely as American as I am

Dark yet again.Sacha was beginning to stir only to awaken to his butt and legs so asleep he felt as though his thighs and butt were on fire, the throbbing in his head felt as though it had more than doubled. hell it was feeling as though someone decided to plant his head on the ground and ran a stampede over him."Ah I see you're awake."Sacha went rigid upon hearing is captor's voice, this time he was staying as quiet as the grave for the moment, anything not to avoid even a poke to his head. 'Jesus if this guy doesn't kill me, this migraine may finish the job for him. And again that familiar scent, but I don't recognize the voice.' He could hear the man rising to his feet, each second the man's steps were getting closer and closer finally coming to a stop standing in front of Sacha flinched tensing up waiting for the man to strike him, berate him, possibly even put a bullet in his skull....But the man was only silent.

"Nice choice of meeting grounds.""You say this every time we have our gathering. And it's always the same place, with the same remarks. How about coming up with a new line?"..."This reminds me of the place I first met your mother. And the same time it was my first time buying a whore. There that a better comment?""You mother fucking - 我要切掉你他妈的蛋蛋，然后用烤宽面条喂给你男朋友!""I don't speak your Ching Chong language, so how about speaking English since I know you're too inept to know our beautiful language.""I said I'm going to cut your fucking balls off and feed them to your boyfriend there in some lasagna!

Present time.Collen shakily began reaching for the bottle of water that had been placed in front of him. So many situations in his life, embarrassing, life threatening, so many times he's felt as though his heart may find a way to beat it's way out of his chest. But all of those times were proving to be nothing compared to his current state.'Jesus my heart's beating so fast it feels l may just have a heart attack.'Not even the insects were making any sounds. 'Little bastards, it's like they know this is the most tense moment of my life and they're ensuring it's as awkward as possible.'Collen slowly drank from the bottle before replacing the cap. 'These girls should be poker players, I can't read their thoughts at all.' For over a minute the girls all sat still unwilling to break the silence, so Collen chose to continue."So that's when we came to form the guild. Instead of allowing more infighting, and have a long bloody war that wo

What had begun as a slow exit picked up pace after only a few steps. It wasn't long until she was almost sprinting from the room as though it were filling up with poisonous gas and all paths of escape would soon be sealed. And honestly speaking, It was precisely how she felt. She ran from the house intending to flag down a cab, but she wasn't even able to to make it halfway across the lawn before being overcome with intense nausea. She hurled her body to a close by tree using it to prop herself up as she began vomiting up what little breakfast she had eaten.'Why?' That single word, that single question, kept repeating over and over in her head to the effect it felt dizzying. 'I know I haven't known him that long. But why did he have to have such a past?' Alison truly hadn't known him for very long, and she didn't expect him to drop all of his burdens or past transgressions on the table, but with just a single story he did drop on that table has it's legs bending

Evelyn breathed a sigh watching Alison's car pull away unable to keep in her feelings of disappointment, not that she was disappointed in Alison, nor was she disappointed in Collen for being honest with the girls. Personally she was been hoping Alison would be struck with a sudden change of heart. Like zap! Mental lightning bolt clapping her in the head, then in dismay she would tilt her head to the side and be like 'You know what I've changed my mind!' But unfortunately that was even a little too fictitious even for the fairytale she has been living since the day of meeting Collen. "Guess there's nothing to be done but wait." Evelyn mumbled pouting her lips as though there were an audience to witness her burden so to speak. Until her phone began ringing. She quickly stole a glance at the caller ID preparing to ignore it until she saw the name."OOOH!" Evelyn began jumping giddily. Anyone witnessing the gloom instantly vanishing would've thought Evelyn had already forgotten who Aliso

For Collen and the others it felt like the blink of an eye and the two weeks had already passed. The air around everyone was practically glowing, they were absolutely radiant in every sense of the word. Their beauty was only matched by the genuine smiles and excitement that couldn't be contained.Collen on the other hand had been feeling a heavy mix of emotions over the past two weeks. While he was excited for the girls to have their chance to truly shine in the spot light. Unfortunately he still had not seen nor heard from Alison. 'Honestly speaking I'm not worried about her reciting the tale to the police, I've got an air tight alibi, and more then a few like minded police on the payroll. The problem is I can't help but feel I'm losing a close friend...' He couldn't remember the last time he truly cared for someone's acceptance, but for some reason if the small group surrounding him suddenly shunned him, it would be more than just a little devastating to his mental state. "Well I

Collen was the first out of the vehicle dressed in his usual body guard attire. For him it was the perfect cover, he could stay close to the others, while gaining access to the event without really drawing any attention to himself. Once out of the vehicle Collen walked towards the back passenger door, taking a look around he reached opening the doors. The first to emerge was Daphne. She stepped from the vehicle standing tall and confident striking a pose with a radiant smile. She didn't waste any time immediately moving to greet the crowd and cameras smiling and waving to everyone. "Miss Green! Miss Green! Over here if you please!" She turned to the side looking over her shoulder smiling for the camera, her sandy blonde hair draped across her chest. "I heard you were forced to switch agencies to The Garden due to underhanded tactics, is this true?" "Haha!" Daphne laughed as though she had heard the world's greatest joke. "That couldn't be further from the truth." She replied. "Tr

Hans immediately stepped to the side clearing a line of sight for Evelyn to meet the guests. "Allow me to introduce James Baker of The Pristine Diamond." The young man with slicked back black hair stepped forward giving her a light bow, before straightening himself back right and extending his hand to Evelyn. ... Evelyn hesitated for a moment before reaching out and accepting his greeting. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. So you're going to be our competition for the evening eh? If you truly wish to compete I hope you've brought some wonderful women tonight." "Haha competition? But Miss Constantine this is a charity event, not a competition where we must fight for the spotlight." James declared giving her a sly smile. "Though I would say we've brought some rather amazing women with us tonight. Although it seems you're coming up short if you truly wish to compete. " James looked to Kendra and Daphne giving them a smile. "No disrespect intended. It's just... I would've

Elsewhere. "Sir we will be arriving shortly." "Aye. Thanks lad." An older man thanked his driver.. Sitting in the backseat of a luxurious sedan was an older man in dressed head to toe in both style and decadence. His appearance, voice and manners all refined almost to perfection, his aura commanded your attention. Yet he was currently smiling ear to ear like a giddy school boy. "It's been some time since I've seen you this excited sir. Are you sure it's okay for you to arrive without announcing yourself ahead of time?" "Bah. Now where would the fun be in that?" "Well I'm just saying sir. Someone of your stature should be recognized. You're far from a nobody." "Aye I suppose one could argue that, but I've never been one to enjoy my status. Besides there's a young man I wish to surprise." Backstage of the charity event. "Alright hurry now. We only have so much time to fix this disaster." Evelyn stated glancing back over her shoulder while maintaining a brisk pace. "Wait..

Present day."Evelyn!" Tatianna cried out in excitement holding her arms out preparing for a hug. Then there was Aurora. Every time the spotlight managed to find it's way to her, her silhouette managed to shrink. But as soon as the subject changed or Tatianna managed to deflect it away from her, Aurora would begin to recover. But this moment? Her silhouette shrank so much she could barely even be seen as a shadow.'That's Evelyn Constantine! That's Evelyn Constantine!' Aurora was currently in melt down mode. Her face was a bright tomato red. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if steam was visibly bellowing from her ears.'T-Two s-super models... Wait no three! AND I LOOK LIKE THIS!? Dear god Any other day I would pay to be in the presence of these women, but why today of all days do I have to look like a train wreck!?' Aurora clenched her teeth and eyes closed trying her best to prevent tears welling up in her eyes and furthering her disappointing appearance. Her current wardrobe,

"Think you can fuck with us !? Both of you can go to hell!" Sven roared charging at Collen. He was committed to his actions. Once in a while a little blood just had to be spilled. Of course it never did look good in the headlines, and would bring heat down upon all of the gangs in the area. But this was all acceptable. Police attention could be bought, and even if they were to launch an investigation, there was only one thing worse. A loss of respect. If the people you stand above don't respect you, soon the payments begin coming up short, then they'll stop altogether. Soon enough individuals, and neighborhoods will stop complying. That would leave you with two options. First uproot and find another neighborhood who doesn't know any better and crack a few skulls so to speak. The second. You crack every skull that speaks out against you. But at that point you've allowed a wound to fester, and it's only going to get worse. Instead of keeping a firm hand with one or two individuals from

"Huh?" Crutches stood dumbstruck. He had never once so much as uttered a word to Sven let a alone beat him to a pulp and send his car flying into traffic. 'Shit I'm still recovering from having my ass beaten to a pulp, I'm not gonna go out looking for a fight in this condition!' Sven smirked pointing his nose in the air. "As you can see it was a close fight. After kicking his ass I even showed mercy... I was the bigger man, chose to walk away of my own free will.. Then the bastard sucker punched me! And while my head was still spinning he began raining down blow after blow. Absolutely no honor among adversaries. 'No honor among adversaries!? I was never an adversary to begin with! I mean I won't say it's something I wouldn't do, but damn! If I'm going to be accused at least allow me to throw a few punches!' He thought as his mouth hung open bringing a whole to level of dumb to his expression. "Huh?" Tatianna uttered in complete dismay. 'I expected Sven to pull some shady shit in r

"So who are we looking for anyway?"...!!!'Oh shit! I hadn't even thought of that! What the hell am I going to tell Aurick!? Oh hey by the way that's the person who whooped my ass, sent my car flying into traffic, fingered me to the person who's car it hit, and the police! By the way it's also a girl who maybe weighs one hundred and ten pounds top!' Sven thought to himself, his eyes squeezed shut, clamping his hands to his head shaking it side to side. Sure Aurick was a long time friend, and if there's anyone who would possibly let this go it would be him. That being said some times friends are the ones to give you the most shit above anyone else. The closer you were, chances are the more shit you'll take."ERRr.... About that... " Sven mumbled.'Man I'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him what happened. Obviously neglecting to mention the information about how I've been extorting the boss's clients after their debts were paid.'Sven sighed and began glancing side to side loo

"This is bullshit I'm telling you it wasn't my fault! RAAAAH!" Sven roared raking his dinner tray back and forth across the jail cell bars he currently found himself comfortably forced into, and when we say comfortably it was probably as comfortable as sitting on an angry porcupine. "As much as I'm enjoying these fine one star accommodations... LET ME THE FUCK OUT!""For the love of Christ all mighty will you shut up already!" An officer sitting at his desk groaned. Unfortunately he was the lowest ranked officer in their precinct therefore got the desk closest to the jail cells housing all of the lovely intoxicated and angry people who would love nothing more than to shove a stun gun up his nostril. "You know why you're in here!""No! No I don't know why I'm in here I'm telling you it's that -""It was your car that rolled onto a main road correct?""Well yes but it was -""There was an awful lot of money in your vehicle for someone who's records show as unemployed.""So what!?

"Ты хочешь снова упомянуть мою семью!? Я засуну свой кулак тебе в задницу и вытащу твою голову оттуда!" (You want to mention my family again!? I'm going shove my fist up your ass and pull your head back out of it! ) Tatianna roared pivoting on the pads of her foot and driving her knee hard into his ribs.CRACK!Though it wasn't super loud, there was certainly the audible sound of something fracturing or breaking."NYAAAAH!" Sven cried out in agony. He was usually the one doling out the beating not receiving them. To pour a little salt on the wound, it happened this was the first time he ever had anything either broken or fractured. Tatianna on the other hand was trying her best to control her laughter at his noises. She may have seen an anime or two in her time and couldn't help but feel his sounds were that of a cat girl doing the pawing motion.'If this is what passes for a gangster these days I don't ever want to meet who they consider the weak.' She shrugged."NYoo BEITCHEEEEEEE

A few minutes prior to Tatianna's encounter. "Yes boss.. Yes I'm on my way to McDonalds right now.""Ah is it the one the Devine girl works at?" A gruff yet smooth Russian accent came through the phone's speaker."Yes boss that's the one. What can I say it's my favorite." The man driving responded"Haha I can imagine why. It's quite the view if you know what I mean. But that reminds me, their debt was paid off I believe two months ago, you made sure to tell them and give my condolences about Mr. Devine right?""Of course boss. They were very touched by your words and the fact you were willing to knock down their debt to the exact amount borrowed after his death. Very generous if I do say so myself.""Good, good. Keep up the good work Sven. Though I lost that extra money, word will spread how compassionate and great Yuri is. People will flock to me for loans!""Hehe no doubt boss. Ah I'm here now." The man named Sven declared pulling into a parking spot shutting off his car. Sven look

"It's true! I had absolutely no desire to become a model! I was perfectly content working at McDonalds minding my own business when someone almost forced me to become a model." Tatianna declared with a straight face. ...No one present truly knew Tatianna which was currently their biggest dilemma. Assume she's joking and laugh? You could but what if she was being serious? Wouldn't laughing make them downright insensitive?'Sometimes I can't help myself.' Tatianna smirked watching the group look back and forth squirming under the imaginary pressure. "I'm joking. Well about being forced at the very least. Unable to maintain her straight face Tatianna emit a small chuckle her beautiful smile returning to her face.Everyone had been staring at her slack jawed especially James. He himself had never encountered any career models who hadn't grown up with that burning desire to launch a career, who wasn't willing to fight tooth and nail to follow their heart!
