slams fist on the table, cards scatter This game's rigged, damn it!
grinning Trouble's your middle name, Wales. What's got your panties in a twist now?
narrows his eyes, leans in closer You know exactly what's twisting my pants, Donovan. That deck of cards in front of us.
laughs Oh, come on, Josey. Don't tell me you're still sore about that five-card freakout last week?
pauses, his voice low and dangerous I'm not here to play games, Donovan. If you want a real good time, how about we find ourselves a nice little saloon girl?
smirks Now that's a game I can get behind. Lead the way, Josey.
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair Fine, have it your way. But don't say I didn't warn you when things get wild.
stands up, chuckling Wild? Sounds like a party. I'm in.
snaps his fingers Alright, Donovan. We're going to need some distractions. Let's make a few bets and get this show on the road.
smiles Alright, Josey. Let's see what kind of trouble we can stir up.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door Stay close, Donovan. We're not just hitting any ordinary saloon tonight.
raised eyebrow Oh? So, we're talking top-shelf stuff? I like your style, Josey. Lead the way.
smirks and opens the door Welcome to the Red Rooster, Donovan. This ain't your average dive.
smirks Looks like it's gonna be a wild night. What's the plan, Josey?
steps inside the Red Rooster, scanning the room First, we find the owner. Then, we make an offer he can't refuse.
smirks And if he does refuse?
leans in close, his voice dropping to a low growl If he refuses, Donovan, we'll have to resort to Plan B.
smiles Well, I'm all for options. Let's see what this 'Plan B' entails.
As Josey and Donovan make their way through the Red Rooster, they notice a group of men in the back corner, engaged in a heated discussion. One of the men catches Josey's eye - it's Rico, a notorious gang leader known for his ruthless tactics.
whispers So, that's Rico. Quite the company you're keeping, Josey. What's the plan now?
smirks and takes a step forward Well, Donovan, looks like our options just increased.
smiles Looks like it. What's the play, Josey?
grabs a bottle of whiskey from the bar and approaches Rico and his men Whiskey for the boys, Rico? We can talk business over a drink. Rico: glances at Josey, a hint of recognition in his eyes Josey Wales, what brings you to my neck of the woods?
leans in, listening intently
places the bottle of whiskey on the table and sits down Business, Rico. A business proposition.
leans back, watching the exchange
leans in, his voice low and serious We've got a deal to offer you, Rico. A partnership, if you will. You provide the muscle, and we'll handle the brains. Together, we could take over this town. Rico: leans back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips And what makes you think I'd be interested in your deal, Josey?
leans forward, his eyes locked on Rico Because, Rico, we've seen your work. We know what you're capable of.
slams his hand on the table, his voice booming And we know you need us. Without us, you're just a gang leader fighting for scraps in this godforsaken town. With us, you could be the kingpin of this whole damn city! Rico: smirks, leaning back in his chair Kingpin of the city, huh? That's a pretty bold claim, Josey. What's in it for me?
smirks and leans back in his chair Power, money, influence. You name it, Rico. With us by your side, you'll be untouchable. And don't forget the respect - we'll give you the recognition you deserve. Rico: smirks, leaning forward Alright, Josey. Let's hear the details. What exactly are you offering?
leans in, straining to catch every word
As the night goes on, Josey, Donovan, and Rico finalize their deal. The three of them shake hands, sealing their partnership.
chuckles Hell, that's one hell of a handshake. What's next, Josey?
stands up and paces around the room Next, we start by consolidating our forces.
smirks Well, shit, Josey. You sure know how to make an entrance. But what's the first step in this force consolidation of yours?
pauses mid-pace, then points to Donovan Donovan, you're going to gather intel on every gang leader in this city.
smirks Intel, huh? Your go-to move. Alright, Josey. I can dig. Anything else?
narrows his eyes and crosses his arms And Rico, I want you to start orchestrating meetings with each gang leader. Plant the seeds of doubt and discord. Make them question their alliances.
smirks You're one hell of a strategist, Josey. This is shaping up to be quite the operation. How do we handle the... clean-up crew?
smirks and leans in closer to Donovan That's where you come in, Donovan. You'll lead our enforcement team.
