Thread: The Missing Link (attn:Brujah/any) 1/18/10

kendov cracked open the door to the bar stepping in without anyone really caring. he moved to the bar his hat pulled low down over his eyes but his hands stayed deep in the pockets of his coat with an order of whatever was on tap he sat quietly listening to the ruckus of the bar

JTM parks his bike outside of Purgatory and walks in, newspaper in hand. He looks for Maxwell hoping he is in a good mood towards him tonight. He stands there shocked to see Link there.

What the hell is Link doing here? Finally, he gets off his lazy ass. About damn time!!!

“Sup Link. Kendov. Either of you two seen Maxwell lately. I got some urgent biz to discuss with him.”

He finds a table and a chair, pulling out a beer and a pen, taking a quick sip, rolling out the newspaper, looking at the classified section of it, circling a couple of options while waiting.

droz slides in and takes a seat near the back

JTM hears someone walk into the establishment. He looks up from the newspaper noticing it’s Droz. He motions Droz over to his table.

“Hey Droz. Pull up a seat over here, just the man I need to talk to.”

As he hopes Droz moves over here, he has seen time has passed and reluctantly pulls out his cell phone and begins a mass text to Emma Fitzpatrick, Maxwell, and Baby Wolvie.

(text) Kalie told me to touch base with you. Can you meet me at Purgatory? She said it was urgent!!!”

He sends it, taking another sip of beer, going back to his classifieds patiently waiting.

Fitzy and Maxwell appear from the backroom. They look around until they spot JTM and move to join him. "JTM, glad to see you," Emma begins. "When we're done here we got to head off somewhere together... I got something to show you that's gonna blow your mind."

"What's the emergency, Mogul?" Maxwell asks.

JTM looks up from his newspaper shocked that his texts worked that fast. He takes the newspaper showing them the newspaper articles. (Evening Gazette articles). He nods happily to Emma, hoping Maxwell doesn’t break his face as he speaks.

“You two heard about this right? Well Kalie got in touch with me and said that we needed to rally the troops and patrol our turf. I believe that would be College Hill. You know make sure there’s no collateral damage to it like some of the other establishments lately. Kalie’s off doing her duties right now as we speak. So we need to patrol it. I’m only one man and will definitely need help doing this. I’m not exactly clan friendly atm, you know so I’m trying to rectify it. Any suggestions on a good game plan? Maybe you’ve heard something that I haven’t. You mind if Kendrov or Droz help us out or is this just a clan only deal?”

He hears Emma speak about something potentially cool.

“Something that’ll blow my mind huh, Emma. This I gotta see.”

He chuckles abit.

“Cool. Rock on. We can do this after this little pow wow, catch my drift?”

He lets them read the newspaper waiting till they are done and taking it back, taking another sip of beer after he finishes talking.

Maxwell looks at Emma. Emma draws a breath, hesitates and nods in confirmation that she doesn't care if Maxwell speaks.

"Theo was in touch tonight." Maxwell grumbles. "Kalie's right that we need to keep an eye on things but lone patrols are the last thing we need to be doing. If anyone is going to be walking around on the streets I'd suggest you stick with a buddy. If it is the Sabbat,"

Emma cuts in, "And Theo thinks there's a good chance of that."

"If it's Sabbat then we need to make sure we're not picked off one by one. Alec Voss wasn't a pussy. He was taking out in the middle of a fucking crowded street. I'll be damned if the rest of you go down like bitches as well, just because we didn't make sure we were watching each other's sixes."

"Kalie and her child are going to be flyin' together... JTM maybe you and I could keep together since I need to do a few things with you once we're done here?"

"That puts you with me Link... that is unless of course we want to be really fucking bright about this?"

Emma turns to look at Maxwell. "Whatcha got in mind?"

"No patrols... at least not us. Why show our hands. We've got a lot of humans around here that can be made to keep an eye out for us. Do any of you got any real sway over the humans... if so why do what they can do for us?"

"Assert our influence over them to have them alert us to things... not a bad idea. Sabbat rarely, if ever, uses those means... so long as we don't poke our head up into the business of the feds who have been flooding into town." Emma nods.

"Damn straight. Don't get those bastards' attention. Cover your tracks if you do ANYTHING with mortals this month and maybe for the next few." Maxwell cautions.

"Next few... fuck, maybe the next year." Emma mutters annoyed. "Which reminds me, I need to get a meeting with Maddie asap. Theo is on the war path and I get to be the bringer of bad tiddings." She sighs. "As soon as we're done JTM, she's up next."

"Got anything else for us JTM?" Maxwell asks.

He looks up at both of them weighing what they both have said.

“I can beat the STREET’s with mortals to get a 411 for now. But I’m more of a go-getter of things for the city when they need em. What exactly does the city need? The Sabbat have been lurking in the Pit. My place is out of commission atm. They even made me kill Barbie, those bastards. That sums it up for me. I’m with you then Emma. Now if you want to add Link, we need something to jump start him so he gets off his lazy butt. Just my two cents you know. I haven’t seen him do much so I could be wrong on that.”

He folds up the newspaper finishing his beer. He stands up holding his arm out to Emma in his best ettiquetted manner.

“Gentleman, now if you’ll excuse me. Unless there was something else. Ladies first. Shall we, Emma?”
