<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>> <<addclass "body" "bedroom">> The sound of banging against your bedroom door pulls you awake. Your head is pounding just as hard as someone’s fist is going against the door right now. It’s impossible to know the time, as your blackout curtains hung on the windows make it appear as dark as nighttime either way. And the thought of even moving to check the time on your phone feels herculean. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Come in<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The words that come out are groggy but clearly loud enough to be heard as the door swings open. The light filtering in from the hall tells you that it is at least midday.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>>Wake up. Meet me in the den. We need to talk. Don’t keep me waiting<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>><<removeclass "body" "bedroom">> <<addclass "body" "mansiondiscover">> A groaned affirmation of understanding escapes your lips. It's a struggle to summon the energy to get yourself out of bed. But you manage. It certainly beats the alternative of pissing your father off. After a quick trip to the bathroom to empty your bladder and splash some water on your face, you head to the den. The home is huge. Twelve bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and half a dozen multipurpose rooms in between. It's a true marvel, and by far the largest home in the entire city of Denlaw. You're happy to be able to live here. And ecstatic that you'll inherit it from your father one day.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>><<removeclass "body" "mansiondiscover">><<addclass "body" "mansionden">> Good to know that sleeping half the day away hasn't slowed you down any<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>As you finally reach the den, your father's sarcasm hits your ears like a blunt object. Sending pulses of pain through your skull, worsening your headache.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Ow, sorry but could you speak quieter? My head is killing me<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>What are you, hungover?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No. I didn't drink last night<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Then you're dehydrated. Drink some water. I have a lot to say<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He slides you a bottle of water as he stands up from his seat. You take a big swig while he begins to explain why he woke you up to talk.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>I'm not going to sugar coat this. You're a disappointment<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>His words cut right through you. Making you cough and sputter some of the water in your throat. He doesn't even stop to listen to you reply though.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>When I was your age, I had accomplished ten times what you've even attempted. I did not set out to raise a son with no ambition. You sleep the day away like you have no drive to make something of yourself<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Most of my plans in life start later. I planned to take over for you when you retire. Run your businesses, and carry on the legacy<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>And I've always wanted that for you. But I wanted more as well. I never figured I would leave this all to you, just so you can coast. Not grow, not be better, just maintain what I built. If you're going to inherit all of this, and right now that is a big if, you need to prove to me, that you can build something like it on your own<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>How am I supposed to do that?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Do you think I knew? I was just a young man, with a few bucks from your grandparents. I worked, I scammed, I bought and sold. I did anything and everything until I had my hands dipped in almost every bit of business in this city. Now you're gonna have to do the same if you want to inherit my fortune<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Dad this is sounding a bit extreme here. What, are you gonna kick me out when you retire if I fail?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>No, I'm kicking you out now. You can't live here until you prove yourself to me<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What? Where am I supposed to go? This is out of nowhere!<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Tough. I'm gonna be kind, and give you more than my parents gave me<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He pulls out a stack of bills from his coat pocket. Clearly prepared, he must have been considering this for a while now. He throws the stack to you and you catch it in your hands.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>That's ten thousand dollars. Use it to get somewhere to live, or to start a business, or party it away for all I care. Just know that you should not come back, or even call me unless you have something worth showing me. Am I understood?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What if I have an emergency? Or if my life is in danger?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>If you find out you have cancer, go ahead and call. If someone wants to hurt you, figure it out yourself. I'm trying to teach you that you are your own person. Do something with that. Face your own consequences. What would you do in the same situation, when I'm dead and you're running things? If you don't have that answer, then you aren't ready to inherit what I have. Now, go. On ya get<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>It was cruel. But there is an undeniable truth to his words. Having money isn't an automatic win button. You have no clue what you might do if someone put a knife to your throat. And that wouldn't change, just by inheriting everything from him. You stand up and leave the home you grew up in. The only home you have ever known. Turning back one last time to look at it, wondering if you'll ever inherit it like you always believed you would.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:Continue>>It you're every going to turn that would, into will, you have to get going. Your first step is going to have to be finding a place to sleep tonight.<<addmoney 5000>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "Continue">> [[Continue|MapIntro]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</nobr>>

His dark skin and cautious look stand out as he looks around with a worried expression. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Party? We’re in an alley way.<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>C’mon man, I’m asking if you wanna buy somethin’.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What are you selling?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He gives you an incredulous look. <</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>You’re starting to sound like a cop, man.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m not a cop. I just don’t know what you’re talking about.<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>I’m talking ‘bout weed man.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Oh! Why didn’t you just say that?<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>A dude standing in an alley, talking about partying, ain’t obvious?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He sounds almost annoyed at your obliviousness. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Are you really mad that I didn’t assume that you were a drug dealer?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He nods his head at that question, not in confirmation but instead in understanding. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>You right, you right. Tell you what, I’mma start us over. I’m Nick.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You shack his hand as he extends it out to you. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m <<print $chars.player.name>>.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Cool, cool. Good to meet you. What the hell a dude like you doing in this alley? You look like you came fresh from a country club.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Got kicked out of the house. So, just making it on my own.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Fuck, for real? That’s some bullshit, man. You got a way to get cash?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’ve got a couple opportunities. Why, are you offering some?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Hell nah. But I know how you can make some. Good cash too.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What is it?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>My boss is always looking to move more product.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Really? Isn’t weed mostly legal these days?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>True, true. Not every one likes that Fed shit though. And I sell more than just weed.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Why didn’t you offer me anything else then?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>No offense but you ain’t look like the type.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I promise I’m not offended at being told that I don’t look like a drug user.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The two of you share a brief laugh. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Ahh you right. You’re good people man. I’ll hook you up with some product if you need to make some cash. On loan too so, don’t gotta pay a dime now. Just pay me when you sell it. Won’t be nothing special. But if you’re good at this shit, you can work your way up fast as hell.<</vnline>> <<vnline>> <a class="link-blue" data-passage="Cheats" data-setter="$chars.nick.intro to 2">Take Nick up on his offer</a> <a class="link-blue" data-passage="Cheats" data-setter="$chars.nick.intro to 1">Decline for now</a> <</vnline>> <</vndialogbox>> <<elseif $chars.nick.intro lt 2>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline player>>Thanks, but I’m not sure I wanna go that route just yet.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>For sure, for sure. You know where I’ll be if you change your mind. Or if you just wanna party.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Thanks again. I’ll let you know.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You wave goodbye before turning and heading back up the alley. It’s good to know that Nick’s offer is still on the table, if you need or want to do it. Would be a risky venture. But you know that your Father dipped his toe in the world of drugs and organized crime in the past. And you know just how much money can be made from it. The question will always just be whether it’s worth the risk to you or not. For now, it just isn’t.<</vnline>> <<vnline>> <<goto CityMap>><</vnline>> <</vndialogbox>> <<else>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline player>>You know what? I’m in. Should be some easy money. And I could use some of that right now.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Hell yeah, hell yeah. Here ya go my man.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick handing center>>Here you go my man.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick hands you a pound of weed packed into a brick shape in plastic wrap. You quickly take it and hold it in a way to hide it from view. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Now since you’re cool, I’ll give you a loan for this. It costs a grand. You can make profit with that easy. And the smoother you are, the more charisma you got, the more you can make. You’re gonna have to pay me back before I sell you more though. Everything else from here on you gotta pay up front. And hey, when you sell enough I’ll start letting you get some of the good bud too.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well what if I just wanna sell the one pound? Pay you back and walk with my profit?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>You can do that, for sure, for sure. But your gonna be leave money on the table doing that.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>That’s true. Well, I guess I’ll see you soon then.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Good looking out. I’ll catch you.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You head off and stash the weed away. Leaving Nick to continue selling from the alley as normal. It would be best not to sell where he does. But there is a place in every district in the city that you could hold up at and start selling. Watch out for the cops though. You never know when they might be doing an undercover sting. So long as you pay attention to the market and the type of drugs that people like, you’re sure to make some good cash doing this. Who know how high you can reach as you get access to better weed too. You might just find yourself rising up among the dealers of the city. And hell, this weed could even make decent gifts to any lady that you might be interested in. Provided that she smokes, and provided that you don’t mind giving away some of your product for free.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Gained 16 ounces Low Quality Weed!<</vnline>> <<vnline>> <<goto CityMap>><</vnline>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

His dark skin and cautious look stand out as he looks around with a worried expression. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Party? We’re in an alley way.<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>C’mon man, I’m asking if you wanna buy somethin’.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What are you selling?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He gives you an incredulous look. <</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>You’re starting to sound like a cop, man.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m not a cop. I just don’t know what you’re talking about.<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>I’m talking ‘bout weed man.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Oh! Why didn’t you just say that?<</vnline>> <<vnline shadowdealer>>A dude standing in an alley, talking about partying, ain’t obvious?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He sounds almost annoyed at your obliviousness. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Are you really mad that I didn’t assume that you were a drug dealer?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He nods his head at that question, not in confirmation but instead in understanding. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>You right, you right. Tell you what, I’mma start us over. I’m Nick.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You shack his hand as he extends it out to you. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m <<print $chars.player.name>>.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Cool, cool. Good to meet you. What the hell a dude like you doing in this alley? You look like you came fresh from a country club.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Got kicked out of the house. So, just making it on my own.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Fuck, for real? That’s some bullshit, man. You got a way to get cash?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’ve got a couple opportunities. Why, are you offering some?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Hell nah. But I know how you can make some. Good cash too.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What is it?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>My boss is always looking to move more product.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Really? Isn’t weed mostly legal these days?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>True, true. Not every one likes that Fed shit though. And I sell more than just weed.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Why didn’t you offer me anything else then?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>No offense but you ain’t look like the type.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I promise I’m not offended at being told that I don’t look like a drug user.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The two of you share a brief laugh. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick key:MakeAChoice>>Ahh you right. You’re good people man. I’ll hook you up with some product if you need to make some cash. On loan too so, don’t gotta pay a dime now. Just pay me when you sell it. Won’t be nothing special. But if you’re good at this shit, you can work your way up fast as hell.<</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "MakeAChoice">> <div class="action-link">[[Take Nick up on his offer|NickIntro][$chars.nick.intro to 2]]</div> <div class="action-link alt">[[Decline for now|NickIntro][$chars.nick.intro to 1]]</div> <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <<elseif $chars.nick.intro lt 2>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline player>>Thanks, but I’m not sure I wanna go that route just yet.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>For sure, for sure. You know where I’ll be if you change your mind. Or if you just wanna party.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Thanks again. I’ll let you know.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You wave goodbye before turning and heading back up the alley. It’s good to know that Nick’s offer is still on the table, if you need or want to do it. Would be a risky venture. But you know that your Father dipped his toe in the world of drugs and organized crime in the past. And you know just how much money can be made from it. The question will always just be whether it’s worth the risk to you or not. For now, it just isn’t.<</vnline>> <<vnline>> <<goto CityMap>><</vnline>> <</vndialogbox>> <<else>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline player>>You know what? I’m in. Should be some easy money. And I could use some of that right now.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Hell yeah, hell yeah. Here ya go my man.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick handing center>>Here you go my man.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick hands you a pound of weed packed into a brick shape in plastic wrap. You quickly take it and hold it in a way to hide it from view. <</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Now since you’re cool, I’ll give you a loan for this. It costs a grand. You can make profit with that easy. And the smoother you are, the more charisma you got, the more you can make. You’re gonna have to pay me back before I sell you more though. Everything else from here on you gotta pay up front. And hey, when you sell enough I’ll start letting you get some of the good bud too.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well what if I just wanna sell the one pound? Pay you back and walk with my profit?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>You can do that, for sure, for sure. But your gonna be leave money on the table doing that.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>That’s true. Well, I guess I’ll see you soon then.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Good looking out. I’ll catch you.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You head off and stash the weed away. Leaving Nick to continue selling from the alley as normal. It would be best not to sell where he does. But there is a place in every district in the city that you could hold up at and start selling. Watch out for the cops though. You never know when they might be doing an undercover sting. So long as you pay attention to the market and the type of drugs that people like, you’re sure to make some good cash doing this. Who know how high you can reach as you get access to better weed too. You might just find yourself rising up among the dealers of the city. And hell, this weed could even make decent gifts to any lady that you might be interested in. Provided that she smokes, and provided that you don’t mind giving away some of your product for free.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:Leave>>Gained 16 ounces of Low Quality Weed! <<set $inventory.weed.quality1 += 16>> <<set $chars.nick.intro to 3>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "Leave">> [[Leave|CityMap]]<</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

Trust me, my guys will love you.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Thanks, but why do you want me to meet them?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>They can get you better stuff. Harder drugs to sell. Maybe even some other jobs here or there if you’re up for it.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Alright, it can’t hurt. I can always use more money.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Hell yeah. Let’s head out. My ride’s just down the other end of the alley.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>You follow Nick through the alley, out the other end and onto the street. He presses a button on his key fob and the lights of a yellow sports car light up. It’s nothing short of shocking to see a guy like Nick, who sells drugs in the Slums, have a car as nice as this.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick car center>><</vnline>> <<vnline player impressed>><</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>I can see you like the ride.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>How the hell can you afford this?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Do good work and my guys treat you good.<</vnline>> <<vnline player key:GangIntro2>>I’m even more excited to meet them now.<</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "GangIntro2">> [[Hop in and head to the hideout|GangIntro][$opportunities.druglord.initiation to 1]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <<elseif $opportunities.druglord.initiation is 1>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick peels off. Driving pretty quickly through the roads as he makes his way through the Slums. He takes a few odd turns. Some that seem pointless at first. But it’s clear that it’s a precaution. Driving in circles so it’s harder for you to know exactly how to get to wherever he’s taking you. Even if you don’t present any danger to him or this gang at the moment, its hard to blame him for being so careful. At least the car ride is so smooth that it’s enjoyable even with all the odd turns. Eventually though, a large warehouse comes into view. The building is almost devoid of markings. The only words you can even see on it is a sign on one door that says ‘No Trespassing’. Nick pulls up and parks right out front. Both of you hop out of the car. The beep of him locking it again goes off behind you as he leads you to the front door. He knocks on it four times in an odd, somewhat broken rhythm. Suddenly that ‘No Trespassing’ sign slides up and a small porthole in the door is revealed. Only an eye can be seen on the other side. Piercing blue and peering out at you both. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Who this?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The man on the other side of the door speaks with an incredibly heavy Slavic accent.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>It’s cool, it’s cool. Damir, this the dude I was telling y’all about, <<print $chars.player.name>>.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The door suddenly swings open. Giving you and Nick the space to walk in.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Welcome to the Den. Where it all comes from.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick raises his arms up as he gestures to the entire room. Inside the Den is a massive warehouse floor. Filled with tables that are topped with every drug that you can think off. As well as a few that are littered with weapons. People in protective clean gear walk around, carrying some of the products from place to place. Taking some into other rooms, and others pulling packed product out of those rooms. It looks like a much more expansive and well established operation than what Nick ever led you to believe. You are stopped by Damir as a very well dressed man walks up to. Nick is standing next to you, wearing a confident smile as this man approaches. His stride matches with clearly expensive pinstripe suit he is wearing. Purposeful, powerful, and almost suspiciously perfect. He’s robotic in his precision. Moving up and standing by Damir as the pair look at you. Finally you get a good look at his face, he isn’t as tall as Damir. But you know few people who are, that aren’t professional basketball players. His green eyes are vibrant and his blonde hair is well maintained. Whoever this is, is clearly the man in charge of this operation. He exudes control unlike anyone else. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir vitalyy center>><</vnline>> <<vnline nick>><<print $chars.player.name>>, this here is Mr. Ishetsky.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>It pronounced Izhetskii.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Damir’s accent corrects Nick’s comparably butchered pronunciation of the man’s last name.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Please, call me Vitalyy. It is easier.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Vitalyy speaks with an accent as well. But a much smoother one than Damir’s. It is present in every word but it doesn’t hinder his enunciation in the slightest. <</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Why have you brought him here, Nicholas?<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>This here, this here is the guy I was telling you about the other day. He’s been dealing like a mother fucker.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Language, Nicholas.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>My bad, my bad. <<print $chars.player.name>>, Vitalyy hates cussing.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I do. It is lazy behavior. And I do not tolerate laziness in my organization.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Vitalyy turns his attention squarely to you. <</vnline>> <<if $chars.player.str >= 5>> <<vnline vitalyy>>You have the look of a man with strength and dedication. This will be good, if you aim to join my organization.<</vnline>> <<else>> <<vnline vitalyy>>If you possess dedication, you could grow strong here. If you choose to join my organization.<</vnline>> <</if>> <<vnline player>>Your organization? What would it mean to join?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>It means loyalty, brotherhood, and opportunity.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>As he continues to speak, he raises his index finger up.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Loyalty, never go against me or our people. Do as asked, and you shall be rewarded.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He puts his middle finger up alongside the index finger.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Brotherhood, stand by your brothers and you shall never be alone.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He puts up his ring finger to join the other two.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Opportunity, do well and you shall be uplifted. Your merits are always acknowledged, and profit is always commensurate.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Sounds sort of like the military.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Only with less people shooting at you.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Less, not none.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>The comparison to the military is not unfounded. I have little time to continue with this introduction. So, if you wish to join, speak to Damir. Excuse me, gentlemen.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Have a good one Vitalyy!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:GangIntro3>>Vitalyy nods at Nick and then at you before turning and walking away.

What do I need to do?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Damir pulls a pistol from his track suit and hands it to you. He holds onto the barrel so you are able to grab it by the grip. Him pulling the gun gets you to jump briefly. But that moment of fear washes away quickly once you see he’s handing it to you. Thankfully your Father taught you how to handle firearms when you were younger. So you check it, and make sure the safety is on before sliding it away into the back of your waistband. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir handingpistol center>><</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>You do good with weed.

Only talk me when you buy, or want work.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You nod to Damir and begin to walk away with Nick.

<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator key:three_men_cg>>The Coast is one of the tougher places to sell at. With so much more money flowing through this part of the city, it draws in a lot more crime, which in turn causes and increase in police presence. So it’s obvious that any informant that tries to get inside of the organization would do so here. Most of the men meet under the pier. It’s the only place around where there is cover, and the waves mask any conversation had. Walking along the beach and by the algae covered wooden beams, you find three men hanging out against the concrete wall opposite from the water that helps hold the entire pier up. <</vnline>> <<vnmediateat "three_men_cg">> [img[ressources/cg/three_men.webp]] <</vnmediateat>> <<vnline narrator>>One of the three men notice you and taps the shoulder of another.

<<nobr>><<vndialogbox>> <<vnline damir>>Not me today. Boss wants to see you. Upstairs.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:whiskey_cg>>Damir doesn’t even look you in the eye. He just points to the office area, up the stairs and towards the back of the building. It’s a pretty worrying sensation to be told that the boss wants to see you. When you don’t know what the reason it, it’s always the worst possible scenarios that come to mind first. But when you try to think of what you might have done wrong, nothing comes to mind. You head up the metal stairs and make your wake through until you reach Vitalyy’s office. You knock on the door and only walk in when you hear his invitation. Vitalyy’s office is nice. A little plain for someone with his money and stature, but it’s so clean and organized. It makes you wonder how much he actually uses it. Nothing at all seems out of place. Except Vitally himself, who is as always dressed like a man of great wealth.

You will find the informant at the Coast. We are not certain who it is. You will have to discover that for us as well. The only lead we have, is that one of the three men we have there, informed local law enforcement of a shipment of ours. It was raided and seized. They all knew the time, and the place. Press them until you discover the traitor. Then remove them. I do not care how it is done. I do not care to learn about it after.

But you hold firm, looking back at him and waiting for a response. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Stay here.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Damir walks a few feet away and makes a call. It only lasts a few moments, and you can’t understand what he is saying over the phone. Speaking in his native Russian instead of English. After he hangs up he walks back and waves his hand to indicate for you to follow him. He leads you up to Vitalyy’s office again, where Vitalyy is typing away at something on his phone.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I trust there is a good reason for you to have demanded to speak to me like this.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I wouldn’t say I demanded it.

Clearly preferring to not leave any trace of his presence on it.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I interviewed the guys at the Pier. None of them seemed like the type to turn on us. But one of them, Dimon, mentioned that his theory was that the Pier was bugged. Sounded a little silly at first but I looked around and found that in the sand just a few feet away from where they usually hang out.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Why they not find this?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>They weren’t looking. If you weren’t trying to find something, it would have just looked like a piece of plastic trash on the beach.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Who placed it?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No clue. Probably the cops at night time. They know where they all hang out. So they just had to wait until it was clear.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>It would not have been clear at night. If my information remains up to date, Kaito prefers to do his selling at night.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>He does. But he sells at the Ferris wheel. Not down under the Pier like the other two do during the day.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Too clean.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>What my English challenged comrade here means is that it feels incomplete. Is there anything you are leaving out?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I have no more information for you.

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator key:townhouse>>The moment you enter the Residential District, your phone buzzes. Damir’s text pops up on your screen giving you the address you need. The address leads you to a pretty nice townhouse that isn’t too far out of the way. By the looks of it, the trainer must make a decent living to own a place like this. Not anything spectacular, but it does seem to support the idea that he is a legitimate trainer. Whether or not he is legitimately training Damir’s wife Mina is another story entirely. <</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "townhouse">> [img["ressources/images/drugopportunity/trainer_townhouse.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline narrator>>There’s two cars at the house right now. So chances are he has a client inside. If you’re lucky, Mina will still be inside and you’ll be able to see just what she and this trainer of hers get up to. There’s no way to see anything from here though. You look around and make sure no one sees you. And the moment the coast is clear you quietly run up along the side of the house towards the back. Peering into windows doesn’t clue you into much just yet. But suddenly a loud laugh comes from the house. It sounded like it came from upstairs. Walking around some more, you find the back sliding door to the house is open. Looking around, it seems like they were doing something out back before heading inside. Maybe some yoga of some sort by the mats on the ground. And they do look used. Even if it looks innocent so far, it certainly isn’t proof of anything just yet. You silently step inside, following the sounds of the laughter, and soon enough you hear talking. It’s coming from a cracked door on the second level.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Look in through the door<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:minacaughtdoor>>You look in through the slightly ajar door and see the source of the voices.

You stand there in the hall, still unnoticed, and think on what you can do with this information. Finishing the job you were sent here to do is one option, and possibly the most simple. You don’t get any further involvement, and you do just as Damir asked of you. The next option to come to mind is to use this information against Mina. You could get her to pay and get Damir to pay you. Double dipping by blackmailing Mina wouldn’t even mean you would have to hold up your end of it. You could still even tell Damir after you get whatever you can out of her. Finally, you could end this. Damir clearly cares about his wife. He wouldn’t be jealous if he didn’t. This could be your opportunity to end her affairs and have the threat of being exposed loom over her to keep her loyal from now on. It would mean lying to him though. Whichever option you want to choose, it has to be made now.

This will be a smash, and grab. But trust me when I say the execution will be much more elegant than the description. An assault from three directions will have them pinned, with no where to go, and no way to get help. We eliminate them, we take what we want, and we leave with no record of us ever being there. Are there any questions, before I continue?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Yeah, what are we stealing?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>A gang that has been quietly attempting to muscle their way into our city has a shipment coming in and we are going to take it for ourselves.

It makes the gang look weak if nothing is done about it. You're the one who the task of dealing with this new potential competitor, has fallen upon. Thankfully, someone else was able to do some reconnaissance work for you ahead of time. They were able to get you his address, as well as his most common selling spots.

He rammed into Damir and knocked him off you. The pair brawl on their own for a moment. And Damir is clearly winning. He grabbed Nick as the pair collided. Pulling him down and causing them to roll together. Damir is quick to his feet, the Russian moving faster and more powerfully than Nick can keep up with.

Damir sits on top of him, just as he was on top of you a moment ago. He wraps his hands around Nick’s neck and begins to squeeze. Nick struggles against his strength, unable to do anything to stop him no matter what he tries. Even going to far as trying to claw Damir’s eyes out is futile. But then suddenly, a shot rings out through the Den. Damir drops to the floor, dead. Nick gasps and looks over to where the shot came from. And he sees you standing there.

His right fist raised and ready to bring it down on your face. His hand is so larger that it looks like he could punch right through your skull. The punch lands against your arms. And then another with his other hand. Each strike feeling more punishing than the last. They aren’t debilitating. But they hurt like hell. Feeling as if you’re being pressed into the concrete floor below you more and more with each strike. You won’t make it if you just keep taking these hits. He hits hard but he isn’t defending at all. He isn’t letting up with those hits though. If you try to hit back, you’re taking one to the face in the process. Without anyone able to help though, it’s what you have to do. His face is too broad and strong to be a good target. So you aim lower. Throwing a punch right at his groin. Both of your punches land at the same time. The sound of him howling in pain is the only thing you hear through the ringing in your ears. His punch lands over your right eye and smacks you into the floor below. To compare the feeling to being hit by a train would be to over estimate the train. You’re even a bit dazed by it. But it does give you an opening. Damir rolls off you, clutching his groin and laying in the fetal position on the ground. You roll over and crawl to your gun. Grabbing it, and rolling to aim it at Damir. He tries to stand, to get to you first. But with one pull of the trigger he drops. The back of his skull ejecting out as your shot lands right on his face. He plops to the floor with no further moments. Gone in an instant. You stand up and look around. There’s no one left standing in your way. The stairs are empty, and the path to Vitalyy is clear. You walk up them, shaking your head to clear the daze. It’s time to confront him. It’s time to finish this.<</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "facevitalyy">> [[Face Vitalyy|dealwithdamir][$scene to 1]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <<elseif $scene is 1>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>You open the door and back away, assuming that Vitalyy would shoot the moment it swung open. But, nothing happens. The worry that Vitalyy fled begins to set in. But just before it can, you hear his voice ring out from inside the room.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I’m unarmed. Come in.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You peer in carefully, seeing that he’s telling the truth. You step in with your weapon drawn. Pointing it at him as you close the door behind you. His hands are up lazily. There is no fear on his face. He simply sits down at his desk, and slowly puts his hands down. Sighing, seemingly without a care in the world. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>You shouldn’t have tried to kill me.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I wholeheartedly agree. I should have succeeded, in killing you.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Why? What the fuck did I do to make you want to kill me? I’ve been with you for a while. Sold plenty of product. Took people out for the sake of you and this gang. It makes no sense!<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>His normal composure shatters as his rages takes over for a moment. He takes a deep breath before continuing.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Are you truly so naive? Do you think that I don’t know who you really are? Do you think I do not know who your father is?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What does my father have to do with this?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Everything!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Vitalyy scans your face and his jaw drops with pure shock.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>You truly don’t know… Your father, took my brother from me. Killed him over a petty dispute, decades ago. I took my opportunity to take someone from him, someone that meant more.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Revenge against my father? That’s the whole reason? If it was just something that petty why not kill me when we met? Why go through all of this, let me work for you this whole time just to kill me anyway?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I did not know who you were when we met. And when I found out for certain, you were already part of the gang. It would have looked dishonorable, and shameful to kill one of my own men.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>So instead you waited until it was night time in the middle of a fire fight to take me out and pin it on someone else.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Finally, your mind catches up with your surroundings.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Congratulations then. You’ve managed to make an enemy out of two generations of my family. I never would have gone against you if you didn’t try to kill me.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Do not moralize to me. The decision was made. And I would do it again. There are no regrets for my actions, only the results.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Then there’s nothing more to say.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:vitalyydead>>With that, you pull the trigger. Vitalyy slumps back into the chair. He’s gone. You’ve won. Revenge isn’t as sweet, or as fulfilling as one hopes. But it’s enough. Enough to make your mind ease. Vitalyy and anyone loyal to him, are gone. And what’s left, belongs to you now. This gang took you in when you needed it. And now it’s yours to lead how you wish. But first things first, you need to clean this place up and get rid of the bodies left behind.
