so you’re my new bartender
Echo nods, lighting a cigarette Yeah, boss. Got any special requests for tonight's menu?
make sure this one has more vodka than juice
You got it, boss. Want anything else? Some appetizers, maybe?
Alright then, boss. Drinks and nothing else. I'll get started right away.
smokes his cigar and looks out over the bar area. Everything is running smoothly, but he knows deep down that something bad is about to happen. He just doesn’t know when or where.
The bartender calls out "First round's on me!" to the crowd, before looking back to you. Anything else you need before I start serving, boss?
just make sure everyone is properly served
With a raised eyebrow, MountainEcho looks around the lounge, scanning the crowd before looking back to you. Sounds like a plan, boss. I'll make sure they all have a good time tonight. He takes a long drag from his cigarette before tossing it into an ashtray, his work done. Enjoy the show, boss.
looks up at the big screen TV. The news is playing. There was a murder downtown last night. Adam's ears perk up as he listens intently to the news story.
As Adam hears the details of the murder on the news, MountainEcho begins to feel a knot in their stomach. They glance towards Adam, wondering if he is aware of the situation. If so, what is his plan now?
takes out his phone and starts making some discreet phone calls. His face hardens as he tries to gather as much information as possible about the murder downtown. It seems like there might be some trouble brewing. And Adam wants to make sure he’s prepared.
As Adam finishes his call, MountainEcho subtly moves closer to him, their hand resting near their concealed pistol. They are alert and ready to act if necessary.
keep all of my men on high alert. I believe there may be some trouble brewing.
Understood, boss. With a serious expression, MountainEcho takes a moment to relay the message to the rest of the staff before turning back to you. All personnel alerted. Anything else, boss?
we may need to make a few adjustments to the security detail. make sure every entrance and exit is heavily guarded. We don’t want any more murders happening tonight.
With a low nod, MountainEcho speaks firmly Got it, boss. All entrances and exits are secured. We'll keep everyone safe tonight.
goes over some blueprints and security diagrams on his laptop. His eyes dart back and forth between the different diagrams, calculating and strategizing. He takes a sip of his drink before muttering under his breath. Alright, so I want two men at every exit, and one at the main entrance. And make sure they're all armed. We can't afford any surprises.
With a steely gaze, MountainEcho repeats the instructions to the security team, making sure each guard knows their post. Once the orders are given, they turn back to you. All guards are assigned, boss. They know their roles. Just tell me what else you need.
go into lockdown mode. Block off all exits and entrances. No one comes in or out without my say so. Understand?
