“Hello? Is someone there? Now isn’t a good time for joking around like this..”

“Ah, shit. Sorry.” It had sounded more rude than Jimmy had intended but given his physical state, his limited temper was hardly a surprise. A lovely evening of scouting potential targets quickly transpired into a small misunderstanding between a few nosy neighbors. Had he been prepared for confrontation, he would have made a quick exit but the baseball bat in the man’s hand left him little opportunity. “I needed a place to rest my head for a moment. You got a phone I can borrow or a tissue?”

“ It’s okay. It was just a little cut and I’m a bleeder. Could you get me a first-aid kit?” she asked the young waitress that kept saying sorry over and over again. “ Don´t worry, accidents happen.”

The sudden chaos that overwhelmed the small cafe had managed to captivate Jimmy’s attention. Typically, he would have laughed at the waitress’ incompetence but considering the damage such actions had caused, it was hard to see the humor. “I’m no doctor but I wouldn’t refer to that as a little cut. Considering the amount of blood and all, I wouldn’t be surprised if you needed a few stitches.”

“Unidentified dead male found in the alleyway behind Istra. Looks like he was shot in the head.” he mumbled as he read from his phone with a heavily sigh. “Nothing changed doesn’t it?”

“You almost sound a little upset that nothing has changed, Ancelotti.” A chuckle passed by the older man’s lips, truly amused by how different people had reacted to all the devastation. “This isn’t your way of telling me that you’ve gone good guy on me, is it?”

TMI is awfully active lately. Somebody should assassinate the writers behind that thing, our lives would be much easier with one less problem.

Yes because more murder will really help ease the tension.

I appreciate it. 

Long time no see. How’s life been treating you, Dapolito?

About as good as it possibly can be given the circumstances and all. How about you? More importantly, how’s the family? I meant to check in but hadn’t gotten a chance.

It’s more those with a badge and a gun being threatened by the residents of this city, what is really a joke. Even myself and you could make them quake in their boots. 

It was a bit of both, some personal business needed taking care off. 

I would prefer to preserve my energy for something more useful than intimidating the already failing law enforcement. My expertise is better suited for ensuring that the Russians do not escape recent events without punishment. Let’s just say it’ll be a trial by fire.

I’m glad you managed to get the business out of the way. If you ever feel like sharing the secrets of the trip, I’m here. Could always use a little gossip to get me through the week.

“I can’t say much for the others, but I’d like to think that I’m not like that. I would surely say that I’m not a criminal or an adulterer.”

“For the sake of the city, I have my fingers crossed that you remain a law abiding politician. There should be some sort of salary increase for not have some sort of shady shit going on while in office.”

Nothing quite like airport security finding traces of explosives on my hands during the security check… Thanks for the welcome back, Launceston Intl. Cherry on the top of a terrible fucking week.

You sound like you’re in need of a hard drink or two. Always here for support should you need it, Salerno, especially in time like this.

It’s a shame to hear about Sasha. I can’t say I knew her well, but from how I got to know her at Bennett & Gallagher, she was a great woman. Ambitious, determined, hard-working…such a tragedy. This city doesn’t even have mercy on the good people.

It’s a shame to hear that someone in this city feels empathetic for the filthy little Russian. Although I admire her determination to be different; one cannot change who one associates with. In this particularly instance, Mr. Hathaway, I’m inclined to suggest that perhaps Miss. Kurylenko was not as innocent as she seemed.

maria-damatox:

I really do not understand why people are acting so surprised by the latest news, it’s hardly surprising given the circumstances. Plus it isn’t like anyone is going to do anything about it, the last I heard our local police department can’t even keep tabs on their own men. 

On the more important news though, I’m back and I had a whale of time during my trip.

The police department in this city is nothing more than a joke, Maria. There’s more criminals in that building than there are out on the street. If I were a member of Launceston’s Finest, I would be thoroughly embarrassed at how little people are threatened by a badge and a gun.

Trip, huh? That’s a new one. Did this one involve business or pleasure?

“I have more than enough work to do and nowhere near enough coffee in the world to keep me going. This is what happens when I don’t go to work for more than a day.”

“A politician with a coffee addiction? Interesting. Here I was thinking all of Launceston’s politicians were adulterers and criminals.”

Good, because I’d dearly hate to put you on the list of people I don’t like. They do. You should try the Aberlour. Granted it’s the only one I’ve tried but I was pleased with it.

The thought of you hating me breaks my heart in two, Valastro. Really. Aberlour? Interesting choice, but I’ll take your advice. You want a glass too or are you to deep in thought to enjoy it?

l-valastro:

If you’re here to talk, then kindly sit further down the bar. I’m here to drink.

Who said I came here to talk? I’m in search of a good glass of scotch and I heard this place had quite the selection.

“Well it’s a not so ‘Happy Birthday’ to me”

“I’m just going to go ahead and assume it’s ‘not so happy’ because Daddy and Mommy didn’t get you that cool new dress and the guy that was totally into you didn’t text you back. Should I go get you some tissues so we can cry it out over a bottle of wine?”

“Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there.”

This city is getting more fucked up as the days go by.  Not a news flash, but still…astoundingly relevant.

I’m not entirely sure that it is the city that’s the problem. Given the sorts of people who prowl these streets, I’m inclined to believe the blame for things being, as you so eloquently described, ‘fucked up’ is upon them.
