Snow responds, <Con.  Snow.  I am in the parking lot but do not know where you went.  Can you bring him to me?  It sounds like a case of mistaken identity.  I will be near the edge.>  After the call she waits for Con to reply or come to the lot.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor reached the edge of the alley and got Snow's attention. He motioning for her to join him, before receding back into the alleyway out of casual viewing. Once Snow joined them, he turned to the guy, "Start talking."

[Mercy Merchant]

Snow turns off her Pito feed as soon as she hits the parking lot and looks around for O'Connor.  When he appears in the alley she waves to let him know that she sees him and slides over to the alley.  Rounding the corner she sees the man and tries to place him.  "Has he said anything yet?"

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor shook his head, "Just what I told you, but he's about to. Right?" He shoved the man's gun into his face for added emphasis.

[Crossbow]

The man shakes off O’Connor’s hands and straightens his clothes.  “Look, I’m not trying to start no trouble.  After the Twins, everything went to hell! Long Beach, Santa Monica?  That shit was fraggin’ GONE!  If I hadn’t visiting my babushka out in Barstow, *I* woulda been gone.  You guys want to come back in and get your piece?  Fine, better than the Italians anyway, and anything is better than the squints, ya know?  But we have to start fresh and you got to protect people from the repercussions.” The man looks at Snow when he talks, clearly more worried about her than the gun pointed at him.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor pistol whipped the guy, "You run, start shooting, and then have the stones to say we? If you want in on the ground floor, that ain't the way to go about it." He might not know what's going on, but this guy was pissing him off.

[Mercy Merchant]

Snow considers her reply then softly says, "Con, this is about me and my personal life."  She turns to the man.  "So, talk to me about who is bothering you.  I will try to remove them as a threat.  Give me your comm code and I will call you.  I am here to give notice to the mafia and yaks that we are coming back.  I am looking for people to set up here.  Are you one of those people?"

[Crossbow]

The man looks confused, "No, no one is bothering me, I am just doing business...you weren't looking for me?  Crenshaw said he was bringing me down to meet some people, do some business, that ain't you?" 

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor growled in frustration at the situation, "Why did you run? Her people got issue with you?" After asking, he realized he didn't care. He had two loose chicks to get back to before someone else tried to swoop in. He handed the gun over to Snow, "You got this under control?"

[Mercy Merchant]

Snow takes the gun.  "Thank you, Con.  I will be in shortly."  She turns back to the man.  "I have list of names of people who owe us.  Tell me your name.  If you help us I will reduce your debt."

"Your friend Crenshaw will be missing me.  Can you hold it together and come inside or not?"

[Crossbow]

"Naw, naw I ain't talking about that.  I don't got debts." the man starts back towards the bar, "I was talking about percentages, I am paying to the guys who are running things now, so you Vory can't expect to come back in and just get your piece like nothing's happened.  That ain't gonna work." 

[Mercy Merchant]

Snow walks with him.  "And what would work?  Do not underestimate my ruthlessness when it comes to family and Vory.  Give me a name and I will pay someone a visit."  She stops at the entrance to have the gun registered and to pick up his name when he does.

She takes the man over to the table where the others are waiting.  "See who I found wandering about.  He says that he is a friend of yours."  She pulls up the team comm channel and sends a message.  <The little problem is taken care of.  It was a case of misunderstanding.>  She alos resets her Pito feed.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor returned to the club ahead of the other two and went back to his table, "Sorry 'bout that ladies. Now where were we?"

[HydroRaven]

*Misunderstanding?* thought Clem as she read Snow's latest message. Her doubts quickly dissipated when she remembered O'Connor was the point man. She didn't even bother replying and simply shifted her focus back to the negotiations at hand.

[Thvor]

Hrm, wonder if Miss Daee knows that he wants the video back but not destroyed, Sam thought to himself. Somehow, I doubt it--though she'll likely find out the hard way at some point. Poor girl. Smiling affably at the man, he said, "Well, Mr. Guiles, it sounds fairly straightforward, and since this is understood to be a side contract, I'm willing to give you a discount on our normal fee. However, we don't work "on spec"--our standard terms are half up front, half at completion. So that'll be seventy-five hundred now, seventy-five hundred when we hand over the video."
