If at any point he talked about the gang’s business to anyone other than a gang member, she’d dismember him and make sure he mounted it on his own wall…possibly above his bed. <br/>The thought made her chuckle to herself. She cleared her throat and eyes Zach, raising her brows at him to cut it out. He was too belligerent and she guessed he probably wasn’t in the least bit drunk. It was just his persona it seemed. <br/>Next Aaron spoke, asking her what was on the agenda for the day. She looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath sipping on a rum and vanilla coke that was just brought out to her. <span style="color: #804080">“Celebrating.”</span> She said as she raised her glass slightly. <br/><br/><span style="color: #804080">“Then lots of work. Planning. Plotting…the usual. I got to go see a guy about a horse.” </span>She said in code. What she meant by that was getting into some territory that needed to be taken before the AOC could get to it. <span style="color: #804080">“Might get some glue out of it though, but let’s hope not.”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #000000">********************</span><br/><br/><br/>Chaz smiled at Kara. <span style="color: #BF0000">“Yeah, I’ll take a cranberry and vodka.” </span>He wasn’t a big drinker and it was something that wouldn’t make him feel fuzzy after. He’d be able to function just fine. He watched her, she seemed tough enough. She could definitely handle her own and no one challenged her after the scene…didn’t even pick up a phone to call for help. <br/><span style="color: #BF0000">“Hey, you’re welcome. Looked like a great time.”</span> He chuckled and shook his head as he lightly waved cigarette smoke from his face. <span style="color: #BF0000">"Yeah, I came to check you out, see how you were settling, and if you had any questions.”</span> <br/>Azula waltzed in next, talking about the cops and how they wouldn’t lay off. Chester chuckled at this, Zu was always in some trouble somehow. It’s like trouble was always looking for her and honestly it always found her. He greeted her and laughed out-loud when she spat out the other patron’s drink, comparing it to cat whiz. <br/><br/>Kara asked about lost territory and his face went straight, he almost felt anger. <span style="color: #BF0000">“Yeah, Orchids took it. We have business tonight…they’ll be there. Someone will probably die.”</span>  His voice was monotonous. He would be there and he certainly hoped it wouldn’t be him…or any of his friends. <br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">“If you want, come learn some of the business.”</span></span><br/><br/></span></div>
