In response to Maria`s confession
@Sam: SHIIIIAAAAA the next frink is on you, pal.
Omar loves this feeling. Not that it helps to solve the situation, well, he just loves it.

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.

Fractal rests his hand in Maria's shoulder, and looks at her with a calm and accepting look. "Calm down, Maria. No need to worry about us. We won't be telling him anything... We even produced a story to diverge things, haven't we? Just calm down, and trust us. Everything will be okay."

@Team: Two new bits of info on the pile: Maria was really Johnny's killer, and she is really Nikolai daughter... Just don't spill the beans, I've told the girl nothing will come from us about it.

@Omar >just be happy i stopped you from kicking her and dragging and presenting her as a trophy to her father, Or there would be no next frink.< 
... hearing only the things he wants to hear, wish you luck with that, you will defiantly need it ...
Sam was not very happy to hear Omar making fun of him, and you could feel it.

OK lets call it a draw. Ill buy you a drink, you buy me a drink. Back to work. Would you guys please interrogate her on details, so we can make every possible traces she left disappear, Just for sure...

[Sichr]

Or better, make appear and support our "Amy Steur theory"

[...]Would you guys please interrogate her on details, so we can make every possible traces she left disappear, Just for sure...

@Team: So ka, I'm on it.

Fractal waits a little while so that Maria regain her composture, and then keep talking in the same amiable tone:

"Look, Maria, I know it may be difficult for you to talk about it, but is there any thing about Johnny's murder that you remember that can reveal Amy's confession to be forged? Or anything that can give it credibility?"

[Sentinemodo]

I don't know ... I just shot him in the back until the clip was empty ... I've thrown a gun away into the Quincy Reservoir...

Omar listens to the conversation just on One ear, watching FlySpy GPS. When the drone passes by the place team first met with Tony, Omar jumps in and surveys the area for DocWagon chopper. If there is not such a trace, drone will enter the building and fly to the room where LS Kev was left with the doctor and another ganger.

Nothing has changed yet - Kev is laying on the bed. Street doc is gone. Andrew is standing by the window, looking out carefully. From time to time he look at Kev.

Landidng on some roof across the street, with the clear view, set to alarm me if something is going on.

[Netzgeist]

"Okay, Maria, that's enough. Don't worry too much about it right now." A confident smile marks his words.

"If you ever need something, just call, ok?" That being said, Fractal proceeds to walk again closer to where Tony is, in order to know how everything is going on.

@Team: As far as she could tell me, there's nothing that could point the case to her. But she was nervous and is not a killer, and Omar's contact gave us a good enough description of our girl. There are certainly loose ends that may point to her, but she is not the one who will be able to tell us what these are, and fortunately it seems neither the Kings.

[Sichr]

We better deal with this as fast as we can and let them solve those familly businesses on their own. She could at least gave us coordinates where the assassination happened, I would send a drone there to look around for anything suspicious. So now...how`s Tony and the rest of Kings?

[Sentinemodo]

as you approached back to the center. Tony was just finishing saying ...Guys, I wanted to tell you that earlier. The thing is, that, you know ... me and Maria, you know ... you rumble her every night we heard ... good one ... no, that not that ... I mean I do, but that's not what I meant ... guys, I am out ... for real ... what do you mean Tony? ... what does it mean you're out? ... you need cash or ammo? ...  No that's not that ... oh, spit it out already ... I'm out from the gang .. I've been thinking ... we'd like to start a family, out of the streets ... you leaving? motherfucker, after you told Amy to bitch off? ... I know ... I didn't want it that way .. and how did you want it? ... guys listen to me ... I've been thinking ... with Jonny dead, there is no other way. I wanted to ask Kev to take charge, he could do it, but his almost dead now, won't be able to do anything for the next couple of weeks, and there is no time. If Amy is right, Russians will be on our heels soon or even sooner. I always wanted Kings to hold their own, but now there is no other way ... I think you should join Fronts.  There was a moment of shouting, but Tony's voice silenced them again .. Listen, listen to me. I'll call Amy, I'll talk to her, I'll offer her the gang, on our terms, if you want, I'll tell her that she make you her lieutenants, you know this streets better than her own men. Guys?

One of the gangers turned toward Maria with face tight with anger, hatred, vengenance - It's your fault bitch !!! He would probably do something more but with Sam and Fractal nearby he just run off.

[Sichr]

@Team: As I hear it from here talking is over, so keep the girl safe, things are about to blow. f they do, find cover, Ill be going in for evac.

@Tony (@Team in copy): A few facts you better know:
1) Russians are on your heels right NOW, not anytime soon
2) We were about to make you an offer, thinking that you would choose rather independence, than slavery
3) If you refuse this offer, you will die. Everyone, except Maria, for she is Kirillovs doughter and as such we will deliver her to her father
4) Well, you beetter get on good terms with your possible future step-father by accepting his offer, and as such, you may become well armed and equiped partners for Vory, more than just slaves, like you would be in case of Fronts, who already work for Mafia
5) Thus the only way you are leaving this turf is bodybag, so you better become leader and lead your gang to prosperity
Now...make your choice

When the message is sent, Omar focusses on his smartgun, thinking who will be the first to draw the weapon. Doberman is set up to protect Maria using lethal force (means weapon pointed at her).

The feeling was quite similar to dropping into VC; all the brain suddenly in alert, aware of things it usually is not. A surge of adrenaline - some call it panic; Fractal preffered thinking of it as THAT ONE MOMENT.

Now there was no time to think or to plan; actions was the only thing that mattered, and it should be delivered fast. He raised his left hand in the air, calling for attention, and shouted with his unnatural loud voice. Then he made his move:

"Hey, Kings; I know everybody is tired of games, so let me be direct and frank. What's being said about the Russian is true. They are coming, and they are conquering. More than that, they are a strong syndicate, and they recently acquired a considerable ammount of guns. Now let me tell you about Fronts: they are not interested in you rejoining them, they are interested in you as meatshields, since you are on the Vory way to them. It doesn't matter if you join Fronts or not, you'll be the first to be wiped out by the Russians, since you are on their way for them to get the Fronts. And Amy is well aware of it; she even killed your last leader so that turmoil could set in and then she could better control you."

"The fact is, even Fronts can't resist the Vory now, and they are afraid. But the Vory wanted you at their side, and even though you don't want this, it's your only chance to survive. Being blunt, your options are as follow: a) you keeping bickering amongst yourselves, weaken yourselves with internal crisis and are conquered by any stronger gangs; b) you stop bickering about and stay on your own, and are crashed between Fronts and Vory; c) you rejoin the Fronts, and usellesly give your lifes to protect them from the Vory; c) you hold together and join the Vory, gaining their protection and getting the means to make Amy pay for what she make to Johnny. The choice is yours, and yours alone."

That's probably the last attempt to lead them to do something. Fractal knows that he just put all the arguments he could into place, in a way that could both direct them to think on joining the Vory and maintaining Maria safe. He does not make any call about Tony's leadership since this just does not matter anymore.
