With you, why wouldn't I be?
Good answer. So what is your name?
levers. And you, boss man?
Boss man? I like that. Call me Boyd. So tell me levers what brings you to this fine establishment?
Just looking around. And maybe someone specific.
Well I'm glad you found me. Now let me buy you a drink. What do you like to drink?
Something strong and dark. Like my soul.
smiles How about a glass of whiskey? It suits a person with a dark soul like yours.
Sounds perfect. But will it fill the void inside?
Only one way to find out pours two glasses of whiskey.
takes the glass Thanks for trying, boss man.
No problem levers. So how about we take a walk around the gallery? There is some amazing artwork on display.
Sure, but I'm more interested in the artwork outside these walls.
Well levers I have a proposition for you. You see I'm not just a businessman, I'm also the head of a very powerful mafia family.
raises an eyebrow Interesting. I guess the boss man has many faces.
That's right levers. And if you're interested I can show you a world full of power and money. All you have to do is say yes.
looks over at the bartender and whispers How much for the boss?
smirks Well that all depends on what you're willing to give in return.
takes another sip of whiskey Let's just say I'm open to negotiations.
Good. We're going to need to establish a few ground rules though. Rule number one, absolute obedience. You do as I say, when I say it. Rule number two, loyalty. You are mine and only mine. No distractions or infidelity. Rule number three, discretion. Your new position comes with certain... responsibilities.
Alright, boss man. I'm listening.
Good. Rule number four, no questions asked. You do not inquire about my business or ask for explanations.
Glad to hear it. Rule number five, self-defense. You have the right to defend yourself, but you must always report any injuries or close calls to me immediately.
Excellent. Rule number six, property protection. Everything that belongs to me, including my home, cars, and any other assets are off-limits to you. Is that clear?
Good. And lastly, rule number seven, fun. I believe in work-life balance. When you're not working, you're free to enjoy yourself however you see fit.
Sounds like a plan boss man.
Perfect. Now that we have that settled, I believe it's time for your first mission.
Alright boss man, what's the mission?
Well levers, there is a rival gang that has been encroaching on our territory.
interesting. how shall we handle them?
We're going to pay them a little visit. I want you to gather as much information as you can about their operations, their leader, and their weaknesses.
Understood bossman, but this mission comes at a cost. A favor from me to you.
No worries levers. I'm used to owing favors. I'll make sure to repay it in due time. Now go, gather the intel. This gang won't know what hit 'em.
I nod and disappear without a trace
