Episode 2 The Beast's Head

Makay"So what now ? we surely need to spring Julian"
Unsworth"Lets all calm down shall we, we need to proceed with the mission"
Makay"But...
Unsworth"No buts Charlie we've gone to a lot of trouble to try find something that will link Orr to Neaster & that's what we're going to keep on doing, Andrea have we anything from Orr's computer that might help ?"

Raponi" Well there's a mail from his son Paul the one that has the antique business, it appears that he sold an item to Neaster which he'd bought only a couple of weeks earlier that has turned out to be a fake, even though all the paper work had all been in order & seemed above board when he bought it, the problem now facing Orr's son is that at best something like this could ruin his business & at worse see Paul getting a prison term"
Unsworth"Ok we've got what seems like the link but still nothing that shows Orr has done anything wrong, but my instinct would tell me this is some kind of blackmail sting all very nicely set up by Neaster but to what end"

Lapin"That would seems very likely sir but how do we go about trying to find out what Neaster is trying to get from Orr?"
Unsworth" That's the question Ford & the only place I can thing of to find the answer is the Beast's Head, this thing that's going to happen in the next day or two could it have anything to do with Orr & Neaster ? we need to go back there & try find out.

As they entered the Beast's Head, Unsworth"Start mingling & see what you can find out"

Unsworth & Makay head off to the pool tables,

but fail to learn anything.

Lady" What do you mean ? what kind of girl do you think I'm ?"
Raponi" Sorry Madam I think you misunderstood me"

Guard"You some nerve coming back in here after what you've pulled"
Lapin" You got paid for the uniforms & as your here I take it no blame came to you"
Guard" Yep but had I known what you wanted them for it would have cost a lot more"
Lapin" Well if its more credits your after we might be able to do a deal, I'm lookingfor some information & willing to pay well for it"
Guard" What do you need to know ?"

Women"I think I can help you, I've a list here that I'm sure you would find very interesting I was just about to send it to Commandant Orr from Mr Neaster, but it will cost you"

"If you don't mind I'm trying to listen to the music"
Unsworth" Oh sorry"

Man" Listen carefully I can't talk for long, go to landing bay 19 two nights from now"

"Who the hell are you & what's with all the questions ?"
Lapin" Look mate I'm only new around here & trying to find a bit of action to earn a few credits from"
"Ye well beat it while you still can"

"You should have gone when I told you to but it seem you & your mates are not the brightest"
Raponi" If these guys are any good in a fight were in trouble"

First to be rushed was Makay.

Then Lapin made a move for the guy who been doing the talking throwing a couple of quick punches.

Tables & stools went in all directions as a mass brawl broke out.

Makay was the first one to go down under the blows.

One of the tugs pulled out a weapon to hit Lapin from behind with, but was put upon by one of the bouncers as weapons are not allowed to be used in brawls &

these bouncers are not very forgiving to anyone trying to use one.

Numbers won out in the end & each member of the team was giving a hell of a beaten by the end of the fight, leaving them to head back to their accommodation blooded & bruised but with enough information to carry on with the case.
Cut
Designers Note As I'm using this tale to try out new rules I've made up I needed this scenario to be completely different from the first one & it helped me nail down somethings while other things still needs more work.

Well that's a rap for this post, as always my thanks for dropping in & if you'd care to be a movie critic & leave a comment it would be welcomed :)
