<Renegade> 4 RPG GO!
<Renegade> ::dials up Shady’s number::
* Countrykat is now known as Tasha_Forge
<Trina_Korat> ::so is in MBI breakroom pondernig over things the next day. Hadn’t slept all night worrying about it and talking to Chance over the phone, now can’t even think. Is frowning at the newspaper, thinking about it all::
<Renegade> <Josie>::heading to MBI bwhahaha:: <other Fel’s charas>::can be available if needed::
<Tasha_Forge> ::what the heck. goes by Ringo’s desk if he’s there and pats his shoulder:: Nice driving the other day.
<Shades> ::For the sake of absolute character torture… is ASLEEP. And dreaming of….stuff… and killing stuff…..Hair is all messed up since she went to sleep with wet hair. Grumbles as her cell phone rings::
<Renegade> ::waiting waitiiing:: <phone>:;ringsrings::
<Shade_Ringo> ::has a few band-aids on his face and eyebrow, but raises brow and smiles over his shoulder at Tasha:: Coming from you, I’ll take that as a big compliment. I’m just glad to be alive, and living to see that Shovelhead behind bars for once.
<Shades> UGH ALRIGHT. ::grabs the phone and answers:: This better be freekin’ good, because I was really enjoying what I was dreaming.
<Shades> ::says into the phone::
<Renegade> <Josie>::reaches MBI.  gets out of car, was riding in the back. seriously hoping Tasha isn’t around. -g- not in the mood and is here on pure buisness and concern. goes up the steps to MBI and enters lobby::
<Renegade> Quit dreaming and get your tail up.  I need you at the east warehouse ASAP. ::says in an annoyed tone with the greeting::
<Tasha_Forge> No joke..and it didn’t involve a date. ::cringes::
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs through her nose, settles her head on her arms and closes her eyes:: <Why doens’t it make any sense to me?>
<Shades> ::sighes:: Okay Miss Charming. I’ll be there in ten minutes. ::hangs up on her and crawls out of bed. Brushes her teeth with one hand while she dances some kind of stupid dance to pull on some jeans::
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::at the front desk, a series of cucumber slices strung together and tied around his eye region:: Hello? Is someone there?
<Renegade> ::hangs up as well and waits::
<Renegade> <Josie> Yes, Hertz.  Are either of the captains or the director in today?
<Shade_Ringo> Ah yes, and saving fair maiden’s honor. All in a days work! ::chuckles, but winces at doing so, a hand going to his ribs:: Well, at least I’m not as beat up as our poor MBI sedan.
<Shades> ::soon gets dressed, got smart, she now actually owns a gun holster. The like, one you can pull over like a vest XD. Puts that on over her purple tee shirt and puts a dark green zippy hood over that. Then sneakers too. Soon high tails it outta there and makes her way towards the warehouse::
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::silent a moment, lips pursed:: I know that voice.. Wait don’t tell me! Shoot, it’s on the tip of my tongue. ::tapping finger on chin::
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies, Hertz!::))
<Tasha_Forge> Ooo yeah…I saw it. Not pretty. Kinda glad you took it and not my car
<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Renegade> ::glad to see you’re taking this job more seriously now after your first kill. -g-::
<Shade_Ringo> See? Didn’t I tell ya’ it wouldn’t let me down? Poor thing was just dropped off by the Enforcers in the back. I really had to convince them to drop it off here instead of the junkyard.
<Renegade> <warehouse>::when Shady arrives, is very busy.  semi truck parked, ‘nip moving from it to vans and trucks and cars.  seems like Enzo’s gotten together every last one of his ‘nip crew there::
<Shades> ::heh why not? Even bought herself a smexy platinum butane lighter with a dragon on it with emerald and ruby eyes XD. Soon parks her car a few blocks from the warehouse and makes the rest of the way on foot::
<Renegade> ((::dies!::))
<Renegade> <Josie> It’s Director Lyons. ::mrrrs impatient::
<Tasha_Forge> ::snorks:: Scrap it? Find a new one then? ::pulls up a chair nearby::
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> Ugh! ::exasperated tone, thudding head and hands on the desk in front of him:: I told you not to tell me, I was this close! ::raises head back up:: Neither of the captain’s are in, or the director, but Trina’s back there somewhere’s. ::pointing behind him::
<Shades> ::soon gets close enough to see the warehouse is all a buzz with commotion. Eyes the thugs going back and forth then goes to seek out Ren::
<Renegade> ::sees Shady enter, and motions for her tocome over::
<Shade_Ringo> You kiddin’ me? After all we’ve been through together. ::smirks:: The way I figure it, that car saved my tail.. with some *minor* help from that Cyber-brat. The least I can do is try and rebuild it just as good as it was. Who knows? Maybe it’ll come in just as handy again.
<Shades> ::goes to Ren:: … You rang.
<Renegade> <Josie> She’ll do.  Thank you. ::goes past him now and searches for Trina beana! tries breakroom first::
<Renegade> <Protocol> ::minor my tail end! XDDD::
<Tasha_Forge> ::rolls eyes:: Depends on if the frame is bent. if the frame is bent the best you can do is find another body and use the sedan’s parts on it.
<Renegade> I’m sure you’ve heard the good news.
<Trina_Korat> ::is in breakroom, still “asleep” XD::
<Shades> Oh the SWAT Kat break up?
<Shade_Ringo> I haven’t really had a chance to give it a thorough look-over, yet. I’ll wait until I finished licking my own wounds before even starting that kinda’ fix-up job waiting for me out there.
<Renegade> ::smirks:: Yes.
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: you’re okay though right? He didn’t rough you up too bad did he?
<Renegade> <Josie>::peeks in breakroom, sees Trina there:: Forge?
<Trina_Korat> ::slits her eyes open:: Hmm?
<Shades> it’s like sweet sweet candy I can’t help but grin about. What does this mean for us?
<Shade_Ringo> Nah, I’m like rubber, Forge. I can be bent quite a bit, but I always bounce back. ::winks and grins:: Kinda’ like all this paperwork on my desk..
<Tasha_Forge> ::snorks:: you really should try to make a dent in it.
<Shades> ::smacks forehead:: wait… that would most likely mean better business for us.
<Shade_Ringo> Oh, I don’t see why. With Hertz sporting those new cucumber patches over his eye, he’s made it easier than ever to sneak it onto his desk. ::pulls arms behind his head, reclining in his chair::
<Tasha_Forge> Oh thats just wrong….::snickers::
<Renegade> ::laughs:: Exactly.  What with the city’s protectors having a tiff, crime’s picking up a bit subtly.  Enzo ::thumbs in his direction as he talks with some guys:: wants to see how we can move a huge load of ‘nip through the city during this time, take advantage of it y’know?
<Renegade> <Josie> ::enters the room fully:: The higher ups aren’t here so I figured I could come talk with you.  Do you have a moment?
<Shades> (( BRB really quick))
<Trina_Korat> Yeah, sure. :rubs at her face and eyes some:: What’s up? ::waves her to a seat::
<Shade_Ringo> ::shrugs, smiling still:: So hey, have you heard what’s on everyone’s lips lately?
<Tasha_Forge> About what? The SWAT Kats? That crud is all over the news. They cut out my race last night because of it so I didn’t miss it. Still can’t believe it though.
<Renegade> ((ok!))
<Shades> ((back))
<Tasha_Forge> ((WB!))
<Renegade> <Josie> ::goes into the breakroom and takes a seat where Trina waves her:: You’re well aware of the SWAT Kat Razor quitting I’m sure.
<Renegade> ((wb!))
<Trina_Korat> Unfortunately.
<Shades> ::querks a brow:: Oh? You want me to help the thugs out, Ren?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony Katpone>::what the heck..I’m underplayed. XD  will pull up in a black BMW and park, getting out.  in some black slacks, grey dress shirt that has sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and some black shades on. will head on towards Enzo, smirking at the ladies::
<Shade_Ringo> Heh, yeah, no kidding. Who would’ve ever thought those two would be inseperable. But I guess time and pressure has a funny way of changing things.
<Tasha_Forge> I guess…sorta scary. I’m waiting on something to blow up…
<Shades> (( <Shades>…… Don’t get shot Tony. OR get threatened. I don’t know if I want to be known as the ‘Katpone Guardian Angel’ unless I’m getting some luvvins for it. ))
<Shade_Ringo> Looks like we might be in for some overtime here soon. You’re right, the villains in this town are gonna’ have a hey-day with this news.
<Tasha_Forge> exactly my fear.  I mean we might can stop them without them…and thats a big might….but they’ll still go berzerk for a while.
<Renegade> Of course.  You’re one of our top sellers after all. We’ve got a lot of ‘nip to push.
<Renegade> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> Makes you wonder what T-Bone’s gonna’ do: try and go it solo or do some recruitin’ for a replacement. I’m sure every gung-ho hot-shot will be checking the classifieds come morning.
<Renegade> ::nods of respect to the Tony XD::
<Tasha_Forge> oh geez…thats just a scary thought…
<Renegade> <Josie> Are you aware of what this is going to do to the criminal underworld in Megakat?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::dats right foos! you betta recognize!:: Hey Enzo!
<Trina_Korat> Bring them out of the holes.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Tony.  About time you got here.
<Shade_Ringo> I dunno’, maybe this will turn out for the better in the end. This city’s come to rely on those guys so much, regular law enforcement like ourselves have kind of been overshadowed to the point of underappreciation. Not that I didn’t mind the Swat Kats always sort of being there as the ultimate protector when things got ugly, but I think maybe this will help both us and the Enforcers to knuckle down and really commit to doing o
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> Business.  C’mere. ::will nod him over to the side::
<Tasha_Forge> (( really commit to doing o-?))
<Renegade> <Josie> It’s already starting, though we aren’t seeing its effects yet.  I wanted to come by and see how the MBI is handling this.  Are you all on full alert?
<Shade_Ringo> -really commit to doing our jobs.
<Shades> ::glances over to see that same dude from like, when she was recruited, and a different tom kat. blinks before she heads over to where the crates are being moved from::
<Tasha_Forge> ::nods:: maybe…I still liked having them around.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::goes off to the side where Tony goes::
<Trina_Korat> :nods:: The captains and the Director are speaking to Feral at this moment.
<Renegade> ::leading Shady to crates. reaches there:: I’m going to need you to push some of this stuff outside your regular club route.
<Shades> ::glances at Tony and the mysterious kat to whom she doesn’t know, then glances at Ren:: Okay. Which route?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::hands him a paper:: Take a look at this…::smirks. rather paper is a stack of several:: orders that flooded in after the news last night.  Dad is frantic trying to find dealers to fill this many orders.
<Shade_Ringo> I bet it’s not even a permanent thing. Seems to me that Razor just got burnt out. A few months away from all this regular grind, and we’ll be seeing those Swat Kats back in the air in no time. Hopefully.
<Renegade> On the streets.  ::pats one cratefull::  Think you can handle that?
<Tasha_Forge> Hope so too.  ::shakes head:: can’t believe it myself if I hadn’t watched the news.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::takes the papers and glances them over. smirks at Tony’s words:: Heh.  Yeah, he’s hoping extra ‘nip sells will give him funds for such.
<Shades> ::smirks, pats the top of the crate:: Of course. Because I’m a kick arse dealer like that. ::winks::
<Renegade> <Josie>::nods:: I know.  I thought they’d be back by now.  Thing is… I need to ask you something, and I want you to be honest with me, Forge.
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> I don’t think he’s gonna have to worry. Something big though is goin’ down.  I mean..yeah duh but I mean…real big…::glances around momentarilly and hands him another paper:: DK’s order…
<Trina_Korat> ::blinks, then narrows her eyes some:: If it’s about the SWAT Kats’ identities, I can’t disclose that information.
<Shades> (( <josie> I want you to be honest with me Forge… Do these pants make my butt look huge? <Tasha> =__= ))
<Renegade> You had better be.  I’m counting on you.  Should be a bit easier as several citizens I’m sure need a pick me up or something to run from their problems for awhile with the disturbing news of the SWAT Jerks’ break up.
<Renegade> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol))
<Tasha_Forge> ((LOL!))
<Shades> ::snorks:: you know that some of those idiots worship them like Celebrities. I don’t doubt I’ll get some new customers out of this.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::quirks brow, glancing around as well then takes that paper. lets out a small whistle:: Kats alive, he’s throwing some party. ::chuckles::
<Renegade> <Josie> You “can’t”?
<Renegade> ::nods:: Bring your car around in here and I’ll help you load it.
<Trina_Korat> No. I can’t.
<Renegade> <Josie> So you you know who they are then?
<Trina_Korat> I didn’t say that.
<Shades> Sure thing. I’ll be right back. ::moves her hand off the top of the crate and heads over to pull her car closer to the warehouse::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> Yeah…My thing is I hope he ain’t gonna double on dad.  I’d keep my ears open. Some of your double agents might wanna keep their ears open too.  Don’t want ole lardy deciding to double cross dad.
<Renegade> <Josie> You sound like that’s what you were saying.
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::nods:: Gotcha. ::hands him back the papers:: Did you need me or any of my guys here for aquiring these weapons or you got it covered?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::takes papers back:: I think I got enough rounded up for it.  If I don’t I’ll give you a holler. May have to borrow a couple of vans. You know..the ones with the cleaning service logos. Got some mansions to clean. ::smirks::
<Shades> ::soon enough comes back in her car! Drives up towards one of those large bay doors and hops out of her car and heads inside again::
<Tasha_Forge> Hope so too.  ::shakes head:: can’t believe it myself if I hadn’t watched the news.::repost in case shade mun missed it::
<Trina_Korat> I could’ve meant something else.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::snickers:: I hear ya.  I’ll have those made available first.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Say… what about that girl of dad’s?  Ain’t she in with Dark Fat?
<Shade_Ringo> ::whoops, did:: Yeah, those news crews sure swarmed on that one. Only one who even seemed remotely shaken by it was Ann Gora.
<Renegade> ::once she has, readies a crate for her and helps Shady put it in the trunk of her car::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> yeah..she is. What you got in mind?
<Renegade> <Josie> You know, if Razor goes bad, we’re going to need intimate knowledge of the SWAT Kats.
<Tasha_Forge> yeah I think it really shocked her.
<Shade_Ringo> ::uh oh, looks like Trina needs a bail out:: Well, anyway, you want some coffee or a donut? All this ‘not working’ has me a bit thirsty. ::smirks, as he stands::
<Trina_Korat> Razor WON’T go bad, Lyons.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Nothin’ really… just better make sure she sees we’re doing all we’re supposed to on Dark Kat’s end.  I’d fill his order first in fact.  I wish dad would get rid of her frankly.
<Renegade> <Josie> How do you know?
<Tasha_Forge> yeah sure. Grab me a coffee?
<Trina_Korat> I just do.
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> ::shrugs:: you know dad…he’s got his eye on her for some reason or another. I’ll take care of Dk’s order first then if you think that’d be best.
<Shades> ::puts the crate in her trunk with Ren’s help and shuts the trunk:: … So anything else Ren?
<Shade_Ringo> Sure thing. Back in a sec. ::starts down hallway, headed for breakroom::
<Renegade> <Enzo> I do.  Oh by the way, you did some good hiring in my absence.  Dad mentioned some punk girl who helped save his life from one of the low lives who had too much of our product.  She here by chance?
<Renegade> ::thinks:: I believe that’s all.  Just keep your guard up at the clubs.  We don’t want anyone snooping around.  The Enforcers’ll be patrolling harder I’m sure, probably those dumb Megs too.
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> mmmm not sure who it’d be. ::glances around:: Hey Ren! ::to Renegade!::
<Renegade> <Josie> That isn’t a good enough answer.
<Renegade> ::turns:: Yeah, boss?
<Trina_Korat> Well, you’re gonna have to trust me with that answer.
<Shades> ::is digging around in the front of her car a moment. Burned a CD of some of her remixes to give to Ren, did it on a impulse!::
<Renegade> <Josie> :;sighs:: While I want to trust you, I can’t trust a kat who wears a mask and has an angry outburst on live television who’s a possible loose cannon.
<Shade_Ringo> Is that the melodious voice of Trina I hear in her-er, hello? ::comes into breakroom, feeling a little too chipper for this scene before him:: Uh, just gonna’ grab some coffee here..
<Shades> ::finds the cd and stands up again, a black cd case in her hand::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> That girl that shot that guy for dad here today?
<Trina_Korat> ::smiles at Shade some, then looks back to Josie:: Then you’re gonna have to just trust me, trusting him.
<Renegade> Yeah.  Right in in fact.  Nightshade.  ::hisses at her to come over to her and walks her over to Tony ‘n Enzo::
<Shades> ::ears turn forward, eeps and drops that case in her front seat then follows Ren. Ut oh… she’s got a really funny feeling about this. Hair wasn’t brushed so it’s horribly curly and unruly. How attractive!::
<Renegade> <Josie> ::glances at Shade, then looks back to Trina:: Forge… Trina… If you are withholding information on those two, I will warn you now that when it is needed, it will be gotten from you ::eyes narrow:: One way or another.
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs:: Then you’re gonna have to do what you will. I won’t disclose the information I know about them, however little it may be.
<Renegade> Here she is.  Nightshade.  One of my best sellers. <Enzo>::raises a brow, looks Shady over:: SHE saved dad’s tail?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::looks her over then snorks and busts up laughing:: Good one, Ren. For real. Where is she?
<Renegade> <Josie>::stands now:: Of course. ::straightens her tie and smooths down her skirt:: Keep on your toes, and be sure your Bureau are ready to handle what may be coming, Forge. ::heads to the door, nods politely to Shade:: Ringo. ::then exits breakroom and heads back to lobby::
<Shades> ::narrows her eyes at the two toms:: …. I’m right here, you stuffy toms.
<Renegade> ::nudges Shady hard with her elbow to Shady’s ribs lol like “watch it you moron!” XD:: <Enzo> ::snickers:: For real? <Ren> ::nods:: Yes.  I was there.
<Shades> ::Thinks::<oh yeah, thanks guys. I saved your Dad’s tail and you laugh at me.>
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs, rubs at her eyes in that “why me?” way::
<Shade_Ringo> ::arm resting on the doorframe, nods back at her, looking at her retreating form over his shades, a small smile creeping up his face. turns back into the breakroom and goes for that coffee pot:: Well, she certainly knows how to make ya’ feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
<Shades> ::is nudged hard. Glares at Ren for the hard elbow::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::walks over there to look her over:: Well…I must say you don’t look like none of my other new hires but i think I remember you.
<Shades> ::watches him look her over. Folds her arms in front of her chest:: … If you dont’ remember me, I wouldn’t be surprised.
<Renegade> <Josie>::goes past the front desk without a word to Hertz XD and out the door. gets back in car and has driver drive her. XD exit, stage left::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> ‘ey sorry. I see a lot of kats come and go.
<Shades> No harm done, really, sir. ::remembers her manners now::
<Renegade> <Enzo> How can you forget her with that hair?  Purple must be the new black.  ::holds out hand to her::  Just wanted to give a thanks to you.
<Trina_Korat> ::chuckles:: Oh yeah. I always look forward to her visit.
<Renegade> ::frowns at that purple hair remark lol but keeps quiet. XD knows her place;:
* _Matt_ has joined #mbi_sk
<Renegade> ((hey Matt!))
* Renegade sets mode: +o _Matt_
<Tasha_Forge> ((hey Matt!))
<Shades> ::hey I got black hair XD not purple  XD::
<Shade_Ringo> What was all this threatening talk about? What is it she thinks you know outside of what the media’s been feeding us about this whole Swat Kat mess? ::trying to sound casual, but genuinely curious now::
<Shade_Ringo> ((Heyas, Matt!))
<Trina_Korat> ((Matters!))
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::steps over to Ren:: So..when ya wanna go celebrate the good news wit me, Ren?
<Renegade> <Enzo>::lol you do? well your chara has too much fun with her hair. -g- all those streaks in it from clubbing stuff. nix the hair comment -g but not the thanks::
<Renegade> ::blinks at that:: Depends on Enzo.  And how fast we can move this ‘nip.
<Shades> Your thanks is appeciated sir. ::smiles at Enzo::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> Myeh..don’t worry about Enzy there. I can cut ya day off I’m sure.
<Trina_Korat> ::rubs at her eyes:: I’m going to let you in onna little secret that the rest of the Bureau knows, Ringo. I know who the SWAT Kats are. ::looking down at her hands::
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::smiles at Shady then looks at Tony:: Since when?
* _Matt_ is now known as Matt_brb
<Shade_Ringo> ::raises brow at that, nearly spilling coffee over his cup:: C’mon, Forge, are you messing with me? ::sets down pot and picks up cup, leaning against counter and turning to Trina::
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> since now. ::smirks::
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::laughs:: Yeah right. ::then grins:: Maybe we should treat these two to a celebration dinner, eh Tony?
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> sounds good ta me.  Where you ladies wanna go? :;cause you won’t say no. We’re to hawt for that. XD::
<Renegade> ::just standing there lol, confused expression now. <boy… the SWAT Kats breaking up is making everyone TOO happy I think…>::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shade> Of course, I’m always the last to know. <Trina> And now that you know, I must kill you. <Shade> O.o <Trina> Hahaha, just kidding. But seriously, hold out your left pinky. ::brandishes plastic butter knife::))
<Trina_Korat> :looks at him with a “do I look like I’m joking?” face::
<Shades> ::blinks, dinner? oh mah gee… that would be…. interesting::
<Renegade> ((::dead::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!!))
<Shades> ::looks at Ren like ‘are they kidding?’::
<Shade_Ringo> Okay, so you’re not joking. ::clears throat some, sipping at his cup:: So, uh.. are they really taller in person?
<Renegade> Shouldn’t… we be getting back to work? ::noting Shady’s look lol answering it with her still confused expression::
<Renegade> <Enzo> We’re almost done here.
<Shades> ::ears turned forward. Tony and co aren’t that bad looking, so wouldn’t really mind it XD::
<Renegade> ((LOL! <Trina> T-Bone is.  Razor’s a shrimp.  I tower over him. ^___^))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!))
<Trina_Korat> ::small chuckle, just shakes her head:: I haven’t told anyone who they are, tho’. But I do know them. And, I’ll tell you something right now – Razor is not the way he acted on TV yesterday. Far from that.
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> we ain’t gonna miss two kats.  B’sides. you two are capable of catching up as good as you are.
<Shade_Ringo> Hmm. Well, I’ll just take your word for that. I don’t suppose you could, uh, call him up and see what’s troubling him so much that he’s broken up the greatest thing to happen to this city since the tuna factory. ::takes another sip::
<Renegade> <Enzo> So c’mon, whaddya say?  We can hit one of our clubs if you’d like.  It’s a time to relax.  Let’s take advantage.
<Trina_Korat> ::small sigh through her nose:: I can’t. He’s no longer in the city.
<Shades> ::bites her bottom lip:: ….. Ask Ren. I’m just the runner.
<Renegade> Er… :;doesn’t think they should refuse anymore so:: sure.  Guess we can go out for a bit.
<Shade_Ringo> Really? Kats, he and T-Bone must’ve really had a falling out.
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> wonderful! park yer cars somewhere hidden. Me and Enzo can take you for a ride.  which ride you wanna take, bro?
<Trina_Korat> And, that’s what doesn’t make sense to me. Throughout the hard times, he and T-Bone have worked things out. ::frowning, entangling her fingers together loosely on the table:; They’re like brothers – a family. And, why now? So suddenly?
<Shades> Um, sure thing. ::heads towards her car to move it::
<Renegade> <Enzo> Yours is fine. ::smirks::
<Renegade> ::goes with Ren. quiet lol::
<Renegade> ((er Shady lol!))
<Renegade> ((<Ren>::goes out with herself, has a blast but thinks she’s an annoying date to herself::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::walks past her, offering a small pat to her shoulder before taking a seat at the table, setting his cup down on it:: Sometimes that’s just how it works. Everything’s fine one minute, and then suddenly something inside snaps. With all the pressure the both of them have always been under, I guess I’m a little surprised this didn’t happen any sooner.
<Shades> (( ::Dies:: ))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol! <Ren> It’s not me, it’s.. me. ::confused::))
<Renegade> ((LOL!!))
<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::heads over to his car and unlocks, opening doors for the girls:: Climb on in ladies. ::grins. inside is all black leather and nice!::
<Tasha_Forge> ((:DIIIES!::))
<Shades> ::parks her car in a nice hidden away spot. While she’s in her car fingercombs her hair then puts it into a ponytail. Looking more presentable now::
<Shades> ::soon comes back in :3::
<Shades> ::goes into Tony’s LOVE SHACK…. err…. car!::
<Renegade> ::had already hidden her bike, checks to make sure it’s where it should and then goes to Tony’s car.  gets in. pulls off her mask when she does and pockets it::
<Trina_Korat> I suppose you’re right. ::still frowning, looking at the headlines again::
<Renegade> <Enzo>::gets in after they’re in, sitting across from Shady in the back::
<Tasha_Forge> ::will get in once all are in and pulls out!:: Where you ladies want to party at tonight?
<Shades> ::sits there with her hands in the pockets of her hoodie. This seems to remind her she does have a gun resting just alittle below her armpit. Not used to the feeling just yet.::
<Renegade> ((<Hans> You got me ladies? ^____^ You’re the best future wife ever!  My own harem!))
<Shade_Ringo> As I was just telling Tasha a few minutes ago, maybe this isn’t a permanent thing. Maybe the guy just needs his space, a little vacation of sorts, some time to clear his head. Before ya’ know it, they’ll be back in the sky, making Feral just as mad as ever.
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!!))
<Tasha_Forge> ((Tony!))
<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
* Tasha_Forge is now known as Tony_Katpone
<Renegade> <Enzo>::or rather is in passenger’s seat. lol wherever XD::
<Trina_Korat> ::small smile:: I suppose you’re right. <But why Eastern Europe, of all placed?>
<Trina_Korat> ((^places))
<Shades> ::XD::
<Renegade> Up to you, boss.
<Shades> ::hmm… Guess that leaves me in the backseat with Ren::
<Tony_Katpone> Please..no boss tonight. Call me Tony.  ::Grins::
<Shade_Ringo> So, you know the Swat Kats. Mm. And does Lyons know that you know them for a fact, or is she just fishing?
<Shades> ::is wondering if maybe ‘nip can be exsorbed through fur contact. Feels like this is a… very strange occurance::
<Renegade> ::yep. lol that’ll prolly change later. seating arrangements that is:: Oh, sorry, Tony. <Enzo> Yes.  We’re not your employers at the moment… you’re off the clock.
<Trina_Korat> She’s probably suspicious. But, I made a promise to them, and no matter what she says or does, that promise isn’t leaving my lips.
<Tony_Katpone> Yeah. SO you ladies pick the place. Anywhere in Megakat you wanna go.
<Shades> ::glances at Ren, then looks into the rear view mirror::
<Shades> Does it matter? Club, Restaurant?….. Tattoo parlor?
<Renegade> <Enzo>::snorks:: I’m not marking up my fur, sorry.   Restaurant perhaps.
<Shades> restaurant sounds like a sound plan to me.
<Tony_Katpone> Yeah same here.  Restaraunt it is. I know a good itallian place downtown. Got us a nice lil booth on permanent reserve.
<Shade_Ringo> ::nods at that, cupping his coffee in both his paws, looking down at it in some thought::
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs, rubs at her forehead:: What’m I gonna do, Ringo?
<Renegade> Then that will be fine.
<Tony_Katpone> ::heads there then!  driving them to said restaraunt then gets out, waiting on the ladies!::
<Renegade> ((<Ringo> Hide in the basement while your Racoon King fights for your right to party?  Er- I mean finds Razor?))
<Shades> ::gets up soon enough, will keep the door oepen fer Ren, unless she gets out on her own side::
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Renegade> <Enzo>::gets out as well and waits for the chicks.:: <Ren>::gets out and shuts door after herself:: Lead the way, gentlemen. ::smirks::
<Shades> (( ::snorks!:: ))
<Shades> :;shuts her door then and stands up again, follows after Ren::
<Tony_Katpone> ::smirks back and heads inside. nods to the waitress as they enter and head for the back to a side room, going inside and taking a seat at the table there::
<Shade_Ringo> Nothing. You don’t have to do a thing. In fact, I think I’ve got an idea on how to keep Lyons off your back, at least for the time being, so she can see that Razor really isn’t going to go nut-job on us all. ::digging in pockets for cell phone:: I don’t suppose you carry around her business card on ya’?
<Renegade> <Enzo>::takes a seat across from his brother::
<Renegade> ::well then, goes and sits next to Tony::
<Trina_Korat> ::blinks:: No, but Mark does. ::goes get it, comes back with it and hands it to him::
<Shades> ::ends up sitting next to Enzo. Best not get fresh with me, Unless you want to be slapped ;D::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Trina> A plan? What sort of pla-? <Shade> ::hushes her, on phone:: <Josie> Hello? <Shade> Hello, Lyons? Say is your fridge runnin? <Lyons> .. are you just trying to get me to run after my fridge so that I won’t follow up on Trina’s knowledge of the Swat Kats? <Shade> .. ::hangs up!::))
<Renegade> ((<Ringo>::keeps prank calling Josie endlessly ’til she promises to leave Trina and the SKs alone::))
<Renegade> ((::DIES::))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!))
<Shades> ((:::dying:: ))
<Trina_Korat> ((:DEAD!::))
<Trina_Korat> What’re you planning…? :as she sits again::
<Renegade> <Enzo>::the only thing fresh here is the food. -g-::
<Renegade> <Enzo> I say we order a bottle of fine wine for this little celebration.
<Shade_Ringo> ::takes number, and begins dialing:: Oh, I think you’re gonna’ have fun with this one, Trina. I know I will. ::smirks as he dials Josie’s number::
<Tony_Katpone> I agree. Order the finest, Enzo. You better at that than me.  ::taking up the menus:: order whatever you ladies would like.
<Renegade> <Josie>::by this time has reached the NSA. walking down one of the hallways when phone rings. answers:: Hello?
<Trina_Korat> ::Arches a brow, watching::
<Shade_Ringo> Hello, Lyons? It’s Shade Ringo.
<Shades> ::takes up the menu, looking at what it offers. Tilting her head. It’s been awhile since she had Italian. The Rotini is looking very good to her right now::
<Renegade> Anything huh? ::smirks at Tony:: <Enzo>::does so when waitress arrives! looks over his menu:: Yes, our treat.
<Renegade> <Josie>::pauses now in her walk:: Ringo?  How did you get this number and what do you want? ::continues on and stops at elevator. presses button::
<Shade_Ringo> A little fact you should learn about me quick, Lyons, is that I’m a very resourceful tom. Which is why I think you and I are soon about to be fast friends. Remember how I walked in on you grilling Trina earlier for info on the Swat Kats?
<Renegade> <Josie>::enters elevator:: Yes.  So? ::presses button and rides on up::
<Shades> (( <Shade> I’m going to be your new best friend. <Josie> Why do you think that? <Shade> because I am the Blackmail King! ))
<Renegade> ((LOL!))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> ::staring at him, starting to say something::
<Tony_Katpone> Get these two ladies whatever they want. ::to the waitress::
<Shades> ::looks up at the Waitress:: I’ll take the Rotini. ::grins::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! <Shade> No, seriously, I just got this job at the postal office, and they’ve gone a little crazy with the black ink on the envelopes lately…))
<Shades> (( ::dies:: ))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DEAD!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!))
<Renegade> <waitress>::nods:: Of course.  <Ren> I’ll have… a garden salad with Italian dressing, order of your baked ziti, some meatballs on the side with extra sauce, plenty of fresh garlic bread, and an order of your parmesian shrimp.  Oh and some of your fudgecake for dessert, don’t skimp on the fudge on my piece.
<Renegade> ((::diies::))
<Shade_Ringo> Trina and I are rather.. close. You may not know it, but, uh, we shared a past. ::winks Trina’s way, grinning:: I was even at her wedding. So, you see, pretty much what she knows, I know. Which may include the identities of the Swat Kats.. for a nice little incentive from your department, that is.
<Tony_Katpone> ((<Hertz>::helping, eyes widen and screams like a little girl:: <Shade> ::sighs:: What is it? <Hertz> ITS THE BLACK SPOT!!!! ::runs around screaming and flailing!:: <shade>::looks and shakes his head:: Looks like gram’s forgot how to spell again. ))
<Shades> ::watches Ren as she orders this. Ears turned forward:: …. <.< I’ll take some garlic bread too, if you don’t mind. ::wonders where Ren puts all that food::
<Trina_Korat> ::is not believing what she’s hearing, but judging from Ringo’s face, has a feeling she’s gonna be laughing later, so waits::
<Matt_brb> ((<Ren> And, I’ll also take a vomit bucket on the side ))
* Matt_brb is now known as McGrath
<Renegade> <Enzo>::snorks at Ren’s order.  glad he’s paying for Shady XD::
<Tony_Katpone> ::chuckles:: Chicken parmesean, extra parmesean, and a order of garlic bread on the side. ::hands her the menu::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!both))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DEAD!::))
<Renegade> ((::diies::))
<Tony_Katpone> ((WB Matt!))
<Shades> ::offers her menu to the waitress::
<Trina_Korat> ((WB!))
<Renegade> <Josie> ::smirks. exits elevator and goes into her office:: You were not at her wedding, you may be “close” but you’ve not known her long, and I do not make bargains with rookie agents.
<Shades> <Gracie> ::is… somewhere at MBI. Probably tinkering with a project of hers there. has a few parts scattered about a table and using a screwdriver to stab a circuit board. Green hair pulled back with a bandanna and in a tee shirt and jeans. Shoes sitting underneath the table::
<Renegade> <waitress>::takes everyone’s menus after writing alla that down and goes to get their wine::
<Shades> ::my mun will laugh if it’s red wine, since red makes Shades… amusing::
<McGrath> :: in costume, wearing the garb of the restaurant, intercepts the waitress on her way to the back :: Manager wants to see you. I’ll take the order.
<Renegade> ((<Gracie>::planning on making exploding donuts! just to see how many get creamed. HAHAHAH get it, creamed? bwhahaha::))
<Renegade> <waitress>::blinks:: He does? Oh alright then. ::smiles and hands the order over to McGrath then hurries off::
<Shades> (( ::laughes:: <Gracie>::loves to make exploding cream donuts:: ))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((:dies!::))
<Renegade> ::sips her water and smiles like she’s not ordered much::
<Renegade> <Enzo> The food here is excellent.  Finest Italian in Megakat.
<Shade_Ringo> Sure I was late, but I didn’t see you there either. But, I guess if you’re not willing to tap into this opportunity falling right in your lap, then I can’t argue with ignorance. I guess the current whereabouts of Razor will just be another secret between Trina and I.
<Shades> ::is tapping her big toe inside her shoe. Is feeling a bit anxious about sitting at the table with Ren, and the two bosses.::
<Tony_Katpone> One of the few that actually has Italian chefs.
<Renegade> <Josie>::sits at her desk now and pulls up some computer files:: Why would you give me information concerning the SWAT Kats, Ringo? ::will humor him a bit::
<McGrath> :: takes the order, secures the wine and returns to the table with the bottle. Counts on the Katpone’s not making eye contact with a lowly server. Counts on Renegade noticing everything XD. Uncorks the bottle :: Sample the scent, signore? :: holds the cork ::
* Shades is now known as Shady
<Renegade> What, only Italian chefs can make some spaghetti?
<Shady> You see some places with mexicans doing all the cooking.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Of course. ::inhales some of the cork there and nods, not looking at him:: A good year as I figured.
* Shady is now known as ShadyM
<ShadyM> ( ::gets a fit thrown at her from the main server, turns out ‘Shady’ is a copyrighted nick:: ))
<McGrath> ((<Restaurant Owner> :: quickly kicks the door closed. One can barely see large killer-robots making the meals :: Nothing to see here! ))
<Renegade> ((::dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Honestly, I don’t think it really matters at this point and time, since they’re so unlikely to be a force in the MKC skies anymore. But, since you seem like a nice enough she-kat, and I figure you’re willing to offer some kick-back for this type of sensitive information, I figure’d I’d help you out.
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Renegade> ::does watch the waiter, wondering what happened to the waitress idly… recognizing McG’s voice and perhaps placing him?::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Trina_Korat> ::watches him, chewing onna claw::
<Tony_Katpone> Psh..only Itallian chefs can make excellent spaghetti.  Its all in the seasoning!
<Tony_Katpone> ::is totally ignoring the waiter::
<Renegade> <Josie> And I’m supposed to trust you to give me proper information?  False information is a criminal offense you know, Ringo.
<ShadyM> I’m sure. My Mom was able to make some killer spaghetti. She wasn’t Italian, though she was kinda full of herself.
<McGrath> :: pours glasses of the wine to each. Upon handing Renegade’s hers, makes eye contact with her ::
<Tony_Katpone> ::snorks:: thats a good one. ::takes his wine and swirls it a bit, then sips!::
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::chuckles:: Thought she could duplicate our secrets?
<Shade_Ringo> ::chuckles at that:: Holding information regarding anything about the Swat Kats is a criminal offense, Director.
<McGrath> ((<Josie> Not that it matters. I could make you disappear. <Ringo> … are you hitting on me? <Josie> No, I’m threatening you. <Ringo> It’s a date! ))
<Renegade> ::frowns at McGrath, meeting his eyes. doesn’t say anything however:: <Enzo>::takes up his glass, taking a sip and swirls it about in his mouth a bit to sample the taste before swallowing::
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((LOL!))
<Renegade> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!!))
<Renegade> <Josie> I can prove the former easier than the latter, Ringo.
<ShadyM> ::eyes her wine glass before picking it up. Remembers her parents and how they would do their wine. So she sniffs it briefly before taking a sip of it::
<Renegade> ::hasn’t drank her wine yet. wondering what in the world McGrath thinks he’s doing right now.::
<Tony_Katpone> mmm excellent choice, Enzo.  very good.
<Tony_Katpone> You always were good at this.
<Renegade> <Enzo> But of course.  I know my liquors.  ::smirks::
<Shade_Ringo> So you don’t even want to take a chance on my information proving valid? Well, I guess it would be a little too chancey for the likes of you. Forget I even said anything. I’ll be sad to have missed out on an opportunity for a little extra cash in my pocket.
<Renegade> <Enzo> You like it, Nightshade?
<McGrath> :: takes a step back, keeping a respectiful distance, like a good wine server ::
<ShadyM> ::smiles:: it’s very good. Lovely year to choose.
<Renegade> <Josie> Cry yourself a river then, Ringo.  I wasn’t born yesterday and when the need becomes dire for the information I require, I will get it without the help of an arrogant rookie who wishes he was the smooth tom that he pretends to be.  ::hangs up on him and sets her cell down on her desk, annoyed::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<McGrath> ::suddenly busts the bottle over Enzo’s head, and throws over their table:: Bar Brawl!! <Patrons> Mama Mia!! ::throw over their tables, and throw wild punches and spaghetti:: <Renegade> -_-; Can I get a to-go box?))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Renegade> <Enzo> You’re dismissed. :;waves a bit at the waiter::
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Renegade> ((::DEAD!::))
<ShadyM> (( ::dies:: ))
<ShadyM> ::tries to be very stealthy in her eyeing of Enzo. <.< Not every day you sit next to a good looking Mob guy::
<Shade_Ringo> Ouch. ::smirks some, flipping his cell shut:: Well, I guess she didn’t go for it. That one’s smarter than the average bear, alright, and maybe just as mean. But, at least maybe it’ll plant some seeds of alternative kats to go after should she find it absolutely necessary to gather info on those Swat Kats.
<Trina_Korat> ::chuckles:: At least you tried.
<McGrath> :: goes away XD ::
<Shade_Ringo> ‘Ey, what’re conniving co-workers for? Who knows, maybe she’ll come to her senses and realize she was all wrong about good ol’ Ringo. ::popping his collar a bit::
<Renegade> Excuse me a moment, Tony. ::smiles at him and the others politely then gets up and goes to follow where McGrath went::
<Trina_Korat> ::starts laughing now::
<ShadyM> ::watches Ren leave the table, then decides to sip her wine again::
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::glances a moment as Ren leaves but doesn’t care. is here with Nightshade:: Your mother enjoy fine wine too with her fake Italian?
<Tony_Katpone> :nods and smirks:: my date ditched me already. ::chuckles and leans back, sipping his wine::
<Renegade> ((<Tony> She better come back and eat alla that she paid for. >.<))
<Renegade> ((ordered^ not paid for lol))
<Renegade> <Enzo>::laughs a bit at Tony’s comment::
<ShadyM> ::chuckles:: yes. She loved it alittle too much I think. Dad enjoyed the real thing, he’d take me to places like this when she was off on some… trip or another.
<McGrath> :: is followed. Can be seen walking towards the restrooms towards a rear-exit leading to a back alley ::
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Now that’s what I like to see. ::smiles:: Things’ll work out, you’ll see.
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<ShadyM> ::smirks, thought of a very snarky comment but is fighting the urge to say it D::
<ShadyM> (( ::giggles:: ))
<Renegade> <Enzo> Ah I see.  ::then to Tony:: If Renegade doesn’t return, I’ll have her cake.
<McGrath> :: exits into said back alley, disappearing from sight for a moment ::
<Tony_Katpone> Remember dad getting drunk that night, Enzo? Come stumbling in so drunk he passed out in the doorway?
<Tony_Katpone> ::then snorks at that comment:: Not if I get it before you do.
<ShadyM> ::chuckles at the two guys:: I’ll take her shrimp.
<Trina_Korat> Thanks for hearing me out, Ringo. ::smiles now::
<Renegade> ::spots him and goes to the back alley in the path he took, glancing making sure they can’t see her from the side room they’re in.  goes out into the alleyway, hand inside her jacket in case she needs to pull out her piece or a blade::
<ShadyM> ::decides Enzo is good looking XD::
<Renegade> <Enzo> Well there we go.  It’ll all work out.  You get her cake then and I’ll have the meatballs. ::sips more wine. leans back some. looking Shady over, mostly noting her piercings::
<McGrath> :: once Felony’s in the alley, speaks up from the shadows :: Enjoying the fine cuisine?
<Renegade> ::moves from the door some. frowns:: I’m enjoying the break.  The company isn’t so bad.  Haven’t gotten my order yet.  What are you doing here?
<Tony_Katpone> ::kicks back in his chair to wait.  sipping his wine a bit::
<ShadyM> ::are you admiring my former sleeping self? I know you are. Side glances at Enzo. smirking. She suddenly feels the urge to wink at him::
<McGrath> I was going to ask you the same thing.
<Shade_Ringo> Aw. ::shrugs:: I do enough yakkin’ around here, it’s good for me to listen for a change. Feel free to yak my ear off anytime you want, Forge, alright?
<Renegade> <Enzo>::heh, notes that and grins. looks over at Tony like “bwhahaha, my chick is into me. yours left” -g-::
<ShadyM> (( <McGrath> I’m here to steal the secret italian sauce for my own nefarious evil deeds. <Ren> O.o ))
<Renegade> ((::dead!::))
<Trina_Korat> I will. And, you do the same, okay?
<Renegade> My bosses asked myself and one of my runners out for dinner.  Didn’t want to refuse the offer.  :;instead now pulls out a cigarette from her jacket and lights it up while she’s talking to him::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!))
<ShadyM> ::sips her wine, giving a small amused smile::
<Tony_Katpone> ::snarls a bit at him. lol! don’t poke me to much dear brother::
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!))
<Renegade> <Enzo>::or what? You’ll tell daddoo? You are his favorite.::
<Tony_Katpone> :no I’ll just kick your tail in front of your girl. XD::
<McGrath> If you’re not into refusing offers, then I also have one for you.
<Shade_Ringo> ::smirks at that:: Well, if you insist. ::stands up now with coffee, going back over to counter for a refill::
<Renegade> <Enzo>::hey now… let’s not get carried away:: So, how is it you took that guy down for our dad, eh, Nightshade?
<ShadyM> Mm? Well… You mean where I learned how to handle a gun or what composed me to do that?
<Renegade> ::takes a puff from her cig and exhales:: Do tell.
<Trina_Korat> ::Stands, stretches:: So! You any good at throwing hoops?
<Renegade> <Enzo> The situation.  We heard it from him, but breifly.
<Shade_Ringo> Eh, I wouldn’t exactly call myself the athletic type, but I once tried shooting myself through a basketball rim with a trampoline and my entire body greased down with Crisco, if that counts. ::offers a little shrug, with a wry smile::
<Renegade> ((<Shade> I sure am! I always win at the carnival.  They should make hoop toss an Olympic sport! <Trina> … I meant basketball.  <Shade>::gasps:: And take the chance of the ball hitting me on the head and messing up my hair?))
<McGrath> There’s an opporunity coming up soon. For you.
<Shade_Ringo> ((LOL))
<ShadyM> ::looks around on the table to see if there’s a ash tray. Is wanting a cig badly:: He had taken Ren and I to a warehouse so we could see how we should go about clearing up… things. We were watching this and some no name hack got into the ‘nip there.
<Renegade> For me?  What sort of opportunity is this?  A position in the service industry, Mr. waiter sir? ::smirks::
<Tony_Katpone> oh? go on…::kicked back still sipping wine::
<McGrath> The Triads got wind of your latest operation. They’re moving to intercept your shipment and take it for themselves.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::still sipping his own wine, listening::
<Trina_Korat> ::Staring at him::
<ShadyM> Started carrying on like a complete fool, most likely having a really bad trip. Takes out his gun and starts prattling on about something. He then aimed for Antonio. I just met your Dad just not a hour before. Ren talked about him pretty fondly… ::sips her wine:: Somehow or another the fool had his gun out, threatening to shoot Antonio. I chose to take my piece out and try to get the guy to see reason.
<Trina_Korat> I… Okay… how do I answer to that? ::grinning::
<ShadyM> (( ::Dies at Ringo and the Crisco thing:: ))
<Renegade> ::frowns:: how is that an opportunity for me?  That’s gonna mess things up worse than when I lost a van full!
<Trina_Korat> Do I… laugh at you? Smack you upside the head…? What?
<Shade_Ringo> You don’t. ::offers a half-grin:: Sure, I’m up for some ballin’. That is, if you’re up for some smack-down.
<Renegade> ((::dying!::))
<ShadyM> … The guy didn’t… and made like he was going to fire at Antonio. And I chose to fire before he got the chance. Turns out my quick aim got the guy right ‘tween the eyes. ::sips her wine again. Is now okay with this whole thing::
<McGrath> You know about it now. I know the time and place where it will happen. You can take measures to change the outcome.
<Tony_Katpone> :;sets glass down and applaudes her. lol!:: Nicely done I must say. Glad I hired you. ::Grins::
<Trina_Korat> ::smirks:: You’re on.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Yes indeed. ::puts arm ’round her shoulders there:: I’m surprised he didn’t talk more about it to us.  You’ve got good instincts.
<ShadyM> ::grins back at Tony, raises her glass towards him:: Well, I do admit I am glad you hired me. :3
<Renegade> … why are you telling me this?
<ShadyM> ::did that before Enzo put his arm around her shoulders. Turns her head to look at him:: Well… Maybe he wanted you two to hear about it from the shooter. ::grins at Enzo::
<Renegade> ::flicks her cig to the ground and stomps on this.  was looking forward to those meatballs and cake::
<McGrath> :: doesn’t answer her question :: You can do several things with this information. You can simply stop them, or you can go the extra distance…
<Renegade> Extra distance?
<Shade_Ringo> ::walks out of the breakroom with her then:: I don’t suppose this will end in a friendly match of HORSE, will it?
<Tony_Katpone> ::chuckles:: perhaps. ::glances at his watch and frowns:: I think my date ditched me…::low mrr::
<ShadyM> Give her a moment, Tony. Maybe she had to make a phone call or something.
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::smiles at Shady, then looks at Tony:: Oh surely she wouldn’t.
<Trina_Korat> ::laughs:; I highly doubt that. ::as she gets into the gym and removes her upper uniform shirt to be inna t-shirt and ties up her hair::
<McGrath> Let them hijack the shipment, and follow them to where they keep their shipment. Play it right, quadruple your amount.
<Tony_Katpone> She better not have.  I don’t mind a girl tellin’ me no but walking out like that will cost a kat her job…
<Renegade> <Enzo> Yeah.  She’s not stupid to mess with you.
<ShadyM> She doesn’t seem the type, in my opinion. ::sips her wine <.< Is almost done with her glass::
<Renegade> Yeah right, and what, have an open out gunfight between the Triads and Katpone’s guys?
<Renegade> <Enzo> I’m more concerned with where our food is.
<ShadyM> Good question. Where’s a waitress I can strangle for it? ::looks around::
<Shade_Ringo> ::does likewise, but still keeps shades on. XD grabs up a b-ball from somewheres and dribbles it around:: You’re probably some former NCAA basketball star, aren’t ya? ::gettin’ down low with the ball, grinning up at Trina::
<Tony_Katpone> Yeah…I’d like to know that too…
<ShadyM> ::hasn’t had breakfast and apparentally already has began drinking. Too much of a night owl::
<McGrath> Play it right, and you won’t have to fire a shot.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::laughs and finishes his own glass. refills it some and Shady’s too. -g-::
<Renegade> What, they going to give it over to me?
<ShadyM> ::bites her bottom lip a moment, then winks at Enzo when she sees him filling her glass::
<Renegade> Maybe if I say “please?”
<Shade_Ringo> ((<McGrath> A day before the raid, just open up a cheap all-you-can-eat sushi bar… <Renegade> And use week-old fish! Brilliant!))
<Trina_Korat> Ha-a. I wish. ::gets into a defensive stance::
<ShadyM> (( ::cracks up:: ))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!!))
<Renegade> ((LOL!))
<McGrath> The intercept force will be too dangerous to directly engage. Once they secure the shipment and take it to their facility, there will only be two guard to deal with. You hide in the shipment, they take you inside. You disable the guards, and someone who conveniently has a truck ready can help you take everything there.
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> In that case, ::jerks right, but then takes off running left, attempting to bounce the ball right through her legs and catch it on the other side:: maybe I won’t embarrass myself too much.
<Renegade> <Enzo> Tony, why don’t you go find one to strangle.  Or better yet your “date”. ::grins::
<Renegade> “someone”?
<Tony_Katpone> You trying to run me off now? ::smirks::
<Trina_Korat> ::blinks at that, attempts to side swipe it!::
<McGrath> Me.
<Tony_Katpone> ((<Trina>::sticks a foot out and trips Ring:: oops…::Grins and grabs ball, dribbling over and making her shot:: <Shade>::face planted. muffled sound:: I don’t think that was legal…)
<Shade_Ringo> ((<McGrath> ::getting her tone:: Well don’t look at me, I don’t have a CDL? Now, Earl here.. <Renegade> Earl!? <Earl> ::big ol’ trucker dude:: Howdy. ::spits:: Someone say somethin’ about sushi? Stuff gives me gas.))
<Tony_Katpone> (((^Ringo))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Renegade> And you’ll do this because…?
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Renegade> ((::DIES::))
<Renegade> <Enzo>::laughs:: Mostly no.
<ShadyM> (( :::dying omg just looks away for a second and this insues:: ))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies, Shade, too. XD))
<Shade_Ringo> ::manages to recover the ball before she swipes it, and dribbles for a lay-up!.. only to have it bounce off the rim and land right back in his hands:: Heh, ‘fraid I’ve always been more show than finish. ::tosses her the ball::
<Renegade> ((::deadagain!::))
<Tony_Katpone> Mostly? ::shakes head:: You ain’t right man. ::gets up to go yell at a waitress. lol!::
<McGrath> Because no one else will help you. You tell Katpone about the Triads preparing to steal the shipment, he’ll want you to stop them, but he won’t let you do what I’ve suggested. Likely because of a certain lost van. You do this on your own, showing extra incentive, it will put you in a better position.
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::snickers::
<Trina_Korat> ::catches it, smirks, starts to dribble towards him::
<Renegade> ::does like the sound of this:: How can I be sure you’ll be there and won’t leave me to the Triads?
<Renegade> ((<Ringo>::slips on the drool on the floor from Trina’s dribbling::))
<ShadyM> ::watches Tony:: ….. I expect this shall result in a very amusing scene, I think.
<McGrath> Because I don’t have any reason to.
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol! <Ringo> It’s okay, I’m use to having this effect on she-kats. ::smirks, right before a basketball plants itself into his face::))
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIES!::))
<Tony_Katpone> ::will head to the kitchen and find waitress from earlier and proceed to give her and the manager an earful. lol!::
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Ringo> ::as teeth fall out:: And, actually, I’m use to that after-effect on she-kats as well.))
<Renegade> You don’t have any reason to either.
<Renegade> Or at least you won’t tell me.

<Tony_Katpone> Yes there is! We’re still waiting on food! its  been over thirty minutes. Tell me WHAT we ordered that is taking so long?! ::growling:;

<Shade_Ringo> ((<Manager> Tell me what your she-kat friend *didn’t* order, and maybe that’ll explain the wait. Hmph! <Tony> … We shoulda’ had Mexican.))
<Renegade> Might. ::rolls eyes then sighs:: Fine. I’ll go through with this.  Anything to keep from loosing this shipment.
<Tony_Katpone> ((::DIIES!::))

<Renegade> <Manager> You stupid girl, where is Katpone’s order? <waitress> I told you, that guy took it! ::sobs:: <Manager> What GUY? <waitress>::tries to describe McGrath, but doesn’t remember much of what he looked like::
<Tony_Katpone> I don’t care who got it. I want our food..NOW!
<Renegade> <Manager> I’m sorry, Mr. Katpone… if you can just give me the order again, I’ll personally make it for you… ::nervous, sweating. please don’t kill me::
<Shade_Ringo> ::mouth goes a little askew at that move, as the ball swishes through the basket and he catches it underneath:: Paw dang, Forge, where’d you pull that from? Sheesh, I don’t like being used just for my body. ::dribbles back some, taking a jump shot::
<ShadyM> (( <tony>::shoots the Manager:: Yo… I need a fresh manager… and alot of air freshener ))

<Renegade> Wait, when and where is this going to happen?

<_Matt_> <clock> :: approaches midnight, likely due to the food delay. With the distance needing to be covered and preperation time, may have to cut dinner short XD ::

<Trina_Korat> ::then realizes that it’s nearing midnight. Wonders where her day went and that she should’ve been home over two hours ago. Sighs and goes to clock out::
<ShadyM> ::yay food!::
<Renegade> Well… ::grins at him:: if you let me head on out early and take a raincheck for us to do this again with just the two of us, I’ll be sure to make it worth your while.
<Trina_Korat> ::heads out to her car to head home, carrying today’s newspaper with her::

<ShadyM> ::watches Ren and Tony. her eyebrow going up very minorly. Wonders if Ren is using ‘other means’ to gain rankings within the mob::
<Trina_Korat> ::by RPG magic makes it home. Doesn’t bother to check for phone messages or the mail. Just heads on up to wash her face, brush her teeth and change into PJ’s. Crawls into bed thereafter::

<Tony_Katpone> hmph…guess so. ::takes it. lol! watching her go.  is highly ticked off. lol!::

<Trina_Korat> Wondering why I even bothered going.
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> That bad huh?
<Renegade> ::exits the joint and hails a cab to get to the destination needed:: <UGH you jerk.  You’ll be praising me like a goddess for this… and I think I’ll let you.> ::grins now to herself. gets out of cab a block or so down from the warehouse with the shipment and walks rest of way.  goes inside, telling any guys in there to scram and let her be a few minutes to look the truck over.::
<McGrath> :: is standing just outside of one of Katpone’s warehouses, visible to a certain renegade who may be approaching ::
<Trina_Korat> I just feel so helpless right now. I don’t know what to think. Lyons was even on the verge of dragging me back to NSA and suck out everything I know about the SWAT Kats.
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe>::Frowns now, turning over to hug her:: I swear she lays one hand on you and I won’t be responsible for what I do then.
<Renegade> <Enzo> If you’re so angry, why’d you let her go, Tony?
<ShadyM> ….. At least we’re having dinner? and there hasn’t been any shootings?
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::smirks at Shady, then pulls Ren’s shrimp over to her so she can have it::
<Trina_Korat> I’m not scared of her, Joe.
<Tony_Katpone> She’s too good to shoot.  Ain’t worth losin’ a good kat over.  ::then to Shady:: yet…
<Renegade> ::sees McGrath and heads over to where he is::
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> neither am I. Just saying.  ::rubs her back:: any word about them?
<Renegade> <Enzo> Maybe we should think about replacements for her if she doesn’t pull through with… whatever it is she’s doing.  After all, she DID loose us that van fulla ‘nip.  Don’t care if she got it back. Shouldn’t have been lost in the first place.
<Trina_Korat> ::shakes her head:: I talked to Ch-erm… T-Bone all night last night. All I know is that Razor’s out of town.
<McGrath> :: no longer dressed as a waiter. Is in his typical field attire :: There’s a power struggle. :: walks up to meet her halfway :: You’ve got competition.
<Tony_Katpone> Prolly wouldn’t be a bad idea to think on it actually.  Get a backup planned.  No so sure I like a kat that is that wishy washy really. I mean she loses the van, then gets it back. Now she leaves and comes back and leaves again…its like she’s hidin something.
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe>::nods. knows she knows who the sk’s are, just doesn’t push the issue to find out::  How’s he handling it?

<Renegade> <Enzo> ::nods:: Right.  I’ll look over my crew and see if anyone’s worthy of promotion.  ::lol talking about this in front of Shady, doesn’t care. sips wine::
<Renegade> I’ve always got competition in this buisness.
<Renegade> You ready to do this?
<Tony_Katpone> <Tony> I’ll keep an eye on her.  best place to keep one like her is right under one’s nose. If she’s up to something we’ll find out soon. She’ll slip up or something.
<Trina_Korat> I still just don’t get it, Joe. Everybody keeps telling me that he would’ve snapped at some point, but… that’s not the way he is. I know it’s not.
<Renegade> <Enzo>::smirks:: And if she isn’t, you get yourself a fiesty broad for a girlfriend.
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> well..think.  Has something out of the ordinary happened lately to cause this? I mean..more than the normal super villians and such.  Did something happen that wasn’t in his normal routine?
<ShadyM> ::oy these boys think I no tell Ren this stuff::
<Renegade> ((<Trina>::secretly has the largest Razor fansite out on the Internet!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Tony_Katpone> ::smirks:: Girlfriends can be dumped.  I told ya I’m not like that.  I don’t hurt one just cause she don’t like me. If she’s up to no good for the business..thats a different story. ::go on and tell her! we don’t care!::
<McGrath> 30 minutes after the truck leaves the Triads will intercept the truck, disable the driver, non-lethally if possible, and take it to their storage facility which is also a front: Megakat Nursery.
<Trina_Korat> He just suddenly stopped caring. he said so himself… that he wasted all those years and… something about fansites and needing to find himself…
<Tony_Katpone> ((::diies!::))
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe>::quirks an eyebrow:: um..okay..that don’t sound like ANY tom I know.
<Trina_Korat> Would anyone do that out of the blue, Joe? I can understand having bad days and all, but… for kat’s sake, he took the next flight out to Eastern Europe of all places.
<ShadyM> ::ends stuffing herself, and chooses to make a mini version of Stoneage on her sauce speckled plate. Getting too much amusement out of this::
<Renegade> <Enzo>::we think we’re hot stuff and you know it. XD continues eating:: Meh. She’s no good, she’s gone.  ::smirks at Shady:: Maybe you wanna someday take up Renegade’s place? ::laughs a bit::
<ShadyM> ::querks a brow:: Someday? Maybe, but not because she’s slips up and I end up taking it by default. I’d like to earn the position.
<Renegade> ::snorks:: That for plants or brats?
<ShadyM> ::yes I know you’re both hot. But I won’t admit it::
<Renegade> <Enzo> Psh. ::laughs a bit more:: If you weren’t so green at this I might consider it.
<Renegade> ::checking over her weapons::
<ShadyM> Give me time, Enzo. I just might end up saving your bum one day.
<McGrath> The plant variety. After they take the truck there, wait another 30 minutes for their intercept force to leave. Only two guards will be left. One on the inside and one on the outside. I’ll take the one on the outside. I trust with the element of surprise you can take the one on the inside :: point a finger at her :: No fatalities.
<Tony_Katpone> ::busts up laughing:: I’d like to see that one personally.  ::eating:; Yeah….I think we need to start locating another person to fill her shoes.
<ShadyM> ::finishes her mini replica of Stonehenge::
<ShadyM> ::querks a brow at Tony, but says nothing::
<Renegade> ::finishes sliding a clip back in one of her guns and holsters it:: Well you’re no fun.
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> To me sounds like something happened.  No one does that out of the blue. Not as close as he’d be with T-Bone and for him to not notice any signs leading up to it.  I mean…surely he’d have talked about it some if this was an ongoing thing
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::laughs as well then nods:: Good help is so hard to find these days they say… Dillinger in prison, now Renegade actin’ batty. ::shakes head::
<McGrath> <Truck> :: engine can be heard starting up :: <McGrath> Your ride’s leaving. :: steps aside ::
<Trina_Korat> That’s what I thought, too.
<ShadyM> ::Decides to be serious:: How would I need to prove my worth to this organization?
<Tony_Katpone> Maybe we need ta bust Dillinger out. He’s was good till that mess happened.  too bad you couldn’t bring Joey back in.  He’d have been perfect had he not gone loco on us.
<Renegade> You better be there is all I have to say. ::eyes him a moment then hurries out to get inside the truck and hide before it takes off::
<ShadyM> Besides shooting thugs and pushing drugs
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe>::hugs her close::  Get some rest. You need it.
<Trina_Korat> I can’t.
<McGrath> <Truck> :: lone driver puts it in gear and starts to drive off once Felony is in :: <Truck Interior> :: amidst the shipment, plenty of places to hide ::
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> Don’t make me knock you out. ::grins::
<Renegade> <Enzo> ::mrrs at Tony:: I don’t wanna hear nothin’ about Joey. ::then looks at Shady:: You gotta be around, loyal like.  Do somethin’ and be above the other no good thugs.  Heck you brought me in Joey and I’d promote you no matter what miz koolaid hair does.
<Trina_Korat> ::faint smile;:
<Tony_Katpone> <Joe> Want me to fix you some tea to relax or something?
<Tony_Katpone> Why you got it out so bad for him anyways? Let ‘im go. He ain’t said nothing about us to anyone so why keep pushing it, Enzo?

<Renegade> <Enzo> Joey’s outta yer league, sweetheart. ::takes a deeper drink of wine. then to Tony:: He sends the wrong kinda message about us, is what, Tony.  Nobody leaves the mob, nobody, and they certainly don’t live to become a blasted cop!

<Tony_Katpone> ::snorks:: Yeah. His grandma beat up our thugs with a rolling pin.
<ShadyM> ::snorks at that::

<Renegade> ::keeps still and quiet, listening. tense and alert just waiting for this to be some sort of trap for herself::
<Tony_Katpone> Word of advice. Stay very very clear of Captain Joseph Forge in the MBI. He’s the Joey we’re referin to. Used to run nip for us back in the day. He’s good, and has an aim thats deadly.  Better than anything I seen.  He went good on us though and worked his way up through the ranks. How I dunno but he did.
<Tony_Katpone> ::all that to Shady::

<Renegade> ::notes the sounds. sighs. <Well he’s been right so far…> and waits that 30minutes before exiting the truck::

<McGrath> Overthrow the Katpone family.
<Renegade> ::snortlaughs at that one:: Do what?
<McGrath> It won’t be easy. It won’t be quick. It will require a lot of time, effort and care. But that is the ultimate goal. In the end not only will you gain much power and influence, but you’ll be saving your own life in the process.
<Renegade> It’s impossible is what it is.  I’ll be throwing my life away for even trying.
<McGrath> You’ll be throwing your life away for not trying.
<Renegade> Why is it you want me to overthrow them?  Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to take over an organization like this, but kats alive… ::sighs:: How will that save my life?
<McGrath> Katpone is going to replace you. It’s his M.O. You’re just another Joseph Forge in progress to him. You don’t have a future with him. :: turns away :: It isn’t your style to be left at the dependecy of others. You’ve always lived your life on your own, answering to no one. :: turns back to face her :: It’s your logical course of action.
<Renegade> ::frowns, knows he’s right, she’s got nowhere else to go in this organization:: His sons are the only ones I answer to… well and Antonio Katpone himself.  But they’re family.  This groups been around for a few generations now, how the heck can I even begin to get rid of the Katpones and establish myself with everyone else?
<McGrath> It won’t be easy, but it’s more than possible. Families have the same amount of problems, if not more, than everyone else. They can be broken.
<Renegade> And you’re going to help me break ‘em? ::suspicious::
<McGrath> Yes.
<Renegade> Why? Want a high up position yourself?
<McGrath> I’m not in this for power. I have my own reasons.
<Renegade> Which are…?
<McGrath> Helping you. There’s a lot you don’t know about yourself. I’m not going to divuldge until it’s appropriate, but I will tell you this: you are going to have to make a decision someday. I’m hoping that when that day comes, you’ll make the right one.
<Renegade> The right one for you or in general? ::folds arms::
<McGrath> There won’t be a distinction.
<Renegade> … fine then.  But I’ll make a choice on what’s right for me.  Despite your help.  You said you’re in this for helping me, so I’m helping me too above everyone else like I’ve always done.
<McGrath> I wouldn’t expect anything else.
<Renegade> I guess then I have to wait for your big scheme then on how to go about this?  How can I even contact you?
<Trina_Korat> ((okay. I thought I’d stay up long enough to see the outcome of this, but it’s 4 a.m., man. XD I better head to bed. ::hugs you both:: G’morning, guys!))
<McGrath> I’ll be taking residence in your dingy flop house in that wonderful side of town.
<Renegade> ((::dies:: morning Sagey XD))
<Renegade> ((::hugs:: Sleep well!))
<McGrath> ((Nights))
<Trina_Korat> ((You too! ^_^))

<Renegade> Oh you will huh? ::smirks:: Fine.
<McGrath> I’ll go over the details tommorow. I have other business to take care of :: turns away ::
<Renegade> As do I… like giving this stuff to the Katpones.
<McGrath> :: walks away ::
