Fuck off! ganger refuse to be helped by you. Instead one of the other helped him up. He felt his bloodied nose and spat on the street. You'll regret this Tony! The two run for their bikes, kicked them on and drove away.

"suit yourself." Sam was a bit angered by this response, but did nothing to show it. but he took a photo of the ganger and his friend. one if not both should be imitable in a disguise.

@Team > We have to make sure that the Kings need support from the Vory, not from other gangs. Maybe a "3K member, blows up some Front Cars, bikes. Some other ideas?<

[Sichr]

@Team: IDN. Tonny seems he have things to say to his gang, we may pull back and let him deal with it for now, and see the result. In the meantime, we can try to get in touch with kirillov and ask about Maria. Good argument for Tony would be, that the safest place for her is in the middle of the family, and with her lover and her brother cooperating, none of them would let her harmed. Unless there is some bad blood in their family. Fractal, with rou voice you are able to ask her right now the way Tony would not be able to hear, right? So she can turn her link on so you can talk to her, or at least comunicate by gestures?

[Netzgeist]

As Amy makes her leave and Tony puts the leader shoes once more, Fractal smiles widely. Just on the outside, though, since he does not think of this as the best course of action. If a fight had really started, it would be quite easier to change 3 Kings allegiance, since they are smaller than Fronts and would need help against them; but now, they would need another reason to bring Voty into the equation.

As Amy enters in the car, Fractal turns to Tony and nods in respect for his latter action. Then he walks towards Sam (in fact, closer to Maria, whom Sam had been in a position to protect.

@Team: I'm with Omar in this; the Kings have things to talk on their own, and we should plan our move. We called a draw again, and now need to checkmate. I'll try to talk to Maria and see what we can discover on her relation on Kirillov.

[Netzgeist]

Approaching Maria, Fractal asks in a calm but firm voice: "Maria, could I talk to you in private a little? Sam can be with us if you preffer, but I'd like none of the Kings to listen." His face seems friendly again, but a little bit concerned; nothing strange, considering the situation at hand. A quick glance is directed at Sam when his name is mentioned.

[Sentinemodo]

Sure, what is it? she seemed to relax a bit after Amy's departure.

[Netzgeist]

Fractal positions himself in a way that he can see Maria, but not directly in front of her; so that they can share the same view if noone wants to face the other, and implying that he is not confronting her. He still looks at her, though, but his position leaves it clear that she can avoid his eyes if she wants without this seeming rude or fugitive. His body stance relaxes, reflecting her own, and his voice comes in a concerned whisper:

"You know, Maria, there's some things I've been wanting to ask you, and some of them may be a little bit difficult for you to answer. That's ok. The thing is, we were hired by Tony to protect you, and we are really concerned about your safety. I understand if you does not trust me, and I can't do anything more than to ask you to do it."

His speech is calm and slow, as if preparing to say something difficult. He pauses for a little while, take a breath and then continue:

"Maria, why did you looked for us when we were at Kirillov's place? What's your relation with them?"

[Sentinemodo]

She was looking at Tony, when you started talking. She was positively beaming with love.
But she immediately tensed at the question, and look at you carefully.

You worked for my father. I needed someone, not his own men, local runners, who could protect him. He's brave, but a little reckless at times.

[Netzgeist]

Responding to her tension, Fractal backs off a little. He level down his tone a little, and continue:

"I see. And how is your relation with Nikolai? How do you see him? Does he knows you're here with Tony?"

[Kouryuu]

"Maria, why did you looked for us when we were at Kirillov's place? What's your relation with them?"

Sam went with Fractal and Maria, checking the radar so no one gets a drop on them.

When Fractal starts to talk, Sam Gives a reasuring look to Maria
"We have to know. If you trust me not to harm you, then trust me in this as well."

[Sentinemodo]

Responding to her tension, Fractal backs off a little. He level down his tone a little, and continue:

"I see. And how is your relation with Nikolai? How do you see him? Does he knows you're here with Tony?"

My father is like most others, he want me to be a good girl, die as a virgin. He doesn't know Tony.

[Netzgeist]

"And does Tony know about your father being Nikolai from the Vory?"

[Sentinemodo]

Of course.

[Netzgeist]

Fractal takes a deep breath again, as if trying to avoid something. He looks at Maria with a more serious face, and in a reassuring voice he asks:

"Maria, we want to protect you, I want you to know this. We also care for Tony. We may have another interests in all of this, but don't doubt us in that we really care about you."

"The thing is... I know you had not tell us everything you know about Johnny's death. I know there's something about it you're hiding from us. and I fear this little piece of information may be vital in helping you."

He waits patiently for her reaction.

[Sentinemodo]

the plus side of being face is that on question like that you don't even have to roll - buying hits is enough to pull information from people, before they notice what they spill

I am not hiding anything ... I was, I was just nervous that's all... she started, but broke under you questioning look ... don't tell him that I killed him, please... I didn't knew he was his friend. Bojeviks aren't friends of Vors. My father has no friends. There was a tone of desperation in her voice. Like that she couldn't believe it still.

[Sichr]
