Gangster Saves Your Life
Trust No One But Me
You attend your regular shift at the café, but nothing would prepare you for the unexpected events to come.
Guests @Auth Audio & @weavilenin
{ Today is a Thursday, concurrent with Isaac Part 1 }
{ Scene 1: Brewhouse Café }
- Elias is there to do some reconnaissance of Vex business; is on his phone when he enters.
- Chats up Listener when he orders his drink – preference for the special latte with pralines, but orders a choco-vanilla from Listener’s recommendation.
- A man with a briefcase enters the café, looking a little “sus”, and catches Elias’ attention. Listener has not seen the man before.
- The sound of chains being threaded through the front door’s handles is heard. Elias instructs Listener to start evacuating customers via the back exit. Before the Listener has the chance to do anything a loud explosion is heard and chaos ensues.
- Elias manages to retrieve the briefcase before escaping with Listener. Elias does not want to be found by the police, so they flee the scene.
{ Scene 2: Elias’ apartment }
- Elias tells Listener about:
- His affiliation with the Wraiths.
- How the Brewhouse Café is in gray territory (a neutral location not owned by any of the gangs).
- A black out that happened nearly a decade ago wasn’t an accident, and instead was from a battle fought between the two gangs. Over a dozen people died as a result.
- That the mayor is corrupt and in the pocket of the gang.
- The police are paid to look the other way as well.
- Elias plans on bringing the briefcase to his father in the morning; Listener stays over.
Events are mentioned in Isaac Rhoades’ story line, during a phone call he receives in Part 2.
