open Baltimare: City of Lies

[The Dark Lord 332]

A train pulls into the Baltimare station and a white unicorn with a black mane and suspicious skull mask seemingly grafted to his face steps off and breathes in.

 

"Ah, smells like money waiting to be made. DAWN!" he shouted to a light orange Mare a little smaller than him.

 

"Yes sir?" she answered in a monotone voice.

 

"Make sure those idiots back there don't break my stuff," gesturing to his henchmen carrying the luggage. "I have things that need to stay intact in there."

 

"Of course sir" said Dawn as she went back to make sure nothing gets broken.

 

The with unicorn looks back to the city with a slight smile on his face. "Look out Baltimare, White Shade is here" he said as he got into a limo that was waiting on the street.

@,

They waited for a long time but no detective. 

"He's not coming... Let's get out of here before we get robbed" After getting News Runner into the car. He cranked the engine.

"Great! Now what? I got two tommy guns and nothing to do with them... Nevermind that. Should the mobster in your apartment block be home now?"

The limo pulls up to an apartment complex and Shade gets out along with Dawn.

 

"Good, we're here," Shade said,

 

"I presume you wish to start phase 1 sir?" Dawn asked in that same monotone voice.

 

"Your darn right I do, and I have the perfect product to get into the market" Shade said with slight enthusiasm as he pulled a tiny bottle filled with a blue liquid from his vest pocket.

 

"I got this stuff from a guy out in Zebrican territory. They think it lets them talk to ghosts or something" Shade kept on, "it'll leave you tripping in no time"

 

"now you just need dealers" Dawn said, "any ideas?"

 

"Well i'm glad you asked.HEY, COME HERE." Shade said gesturing to a few random henchmen. "You guys go out and see if there's anyone out there willing to make a few extra Bits and tell 'em where to go. MOVE!"

 

As they ran off, Shade smiled to himself, "I got a feelin' this is gonna be good" he said as he walked to his top floor apartment/penthouse.

Black Star smoothly asked Atlas 'What do you think you should'. Black Star was in the back seat of the car the was in a black hood and light vest with a utility belt strapped to his flank. It was just enough to hide is cutie mark. 

 

Black star looked at Atlas and Runner said, "I must go somewhere else, that place isn't what it used to be, and my face won't be take to kindly in there. Where do think would be the best." 

[The Dark Lord 332]

As Shade and Dawn entered the apartment, Shade turned to Dawn. "Now we can plan phase 2. Tell me Dawn, given the choice, would you control supply or demand?" Shade asked.

 

"I would choose demand sir." Dawn answered.

 

"Well I say 'Why can't I have both?'. With the new tax laws eventually coming in, may bars will go under and all business will go to speakeasies. Whoever owns those is a millionare in the making. Do you have the information I asked for?" Shade asked.

 

"Yes sir. Don Fottolie owns about 45% of the illegal alcohol business in Baltimare. His daily Schedule is right here sir. Currently he is most out in the open during lunch. He always eats at the Corner Café on 4th street."

 

"Seems pretty brazen for a guy like him." Shade retorted

 

"He believes himself to be untouchable, and with his stranglehold on underground alcohol it's understandable to think so." Dawn replied

 

"Well I think it's time to knock that theory down and start some aggressive expansion. Come on, We're gonna go check out this café" Shade said as he left the room followed by Dawn.

Atlas looked in the back seat if his car in shock.

"I forgot to lock the car again... Anyway don't arrest me for having two military surplus guns in the car. I'm not a gun runner that's for sure. I got them from the national guard. If you want to check go ahead. I know a guy there. So is the factory run still in?"

[The Dark Lord 332]

White Shade and Dawn pull up to the café and got out of the car. "So this is the place huh? does he have specific place he always sits at?" Shade asked.

 

"Yes sir. He likes to sit near the back window, facing the door with men posted at each exit," Dawn answered.

 

"Hmmm, I see" Shade said as he got out of the car and looked at the window near the seat pointed out.

 

Shade notices a factory like building about 250 yards away.

 

"Dawn, What is that building there?" Shade asked as he pointed his hoof at the building

 

"That is the old chemical plant, it was abandoned about 6 months ago, but they still left the vats of chemicals. They probably couldn't dispose of them properly." Dawn answered as she looked at her clipboard.

 

"Well I just found my shooting position. with the way this is going, I can attack by tomorrow" Shade said with a slight smile on his face. "And with Fottolie out of the picture, his 'Family' wont know what to do. Every illegal joint in this city will be up for grabs."

@, 

Renatus sighed as he walked the busy street of Baltimare. He had lost track of Runner after he drove off with Altas and he mental kicked himself for allowing them to get away as he entered his apartment. Opening the door, he found a file sitting on his countertop and he quickly walked over to it and read though it. It was a new assignment, he was to infiltrate a new mob in town know only as Black Mask as a part of the city's new plan of action against mobs in the city. At the end it gave him an address and his paycheck. Pocketing both, he put down the file as he transformed into one of his usual alaises, Rose Flight, a dark purple unicorn mare with a pink mane and with a cutie mark of a rose wrapped around a pistol. Quickly replacing his vest for a trench coat and placing two colt .45 pistols inside the coat. He exited his apartment heading for the address on the file, though somewhat awkwardly as he adjusted to being in a mare's body. Although he eventually corrected himself, walking normally.

@,

(No one inthe city knows my name yet, remember. they know me as the Black Mask if anything)

 

Shade and Dawn went back to the penthouse where the guards were standing watch. "Alright, We got a lot done today so we better hit the sack now. Tomorrow is when everything starts to come together." Shade said as he went to his room.

[Blacklight 118]

@,

Renatus finally made his way to the address as he stopped briefly before entering the apartment. Walking to the counter, he asked the attendant in a smooth feminine voice, " Escuse me, do you know where I can Black Mask?" as he asked him, she/he dropped a good amount of bits on the counter.  

((fixed it)))

@,

 

The attendant looked at the bits. "Top floor, furthest room to the right" She said as she shoved the bits into a bag. When Renatus is out of sight, she pulls out a phone and dials a number, "You have one headed your way...I don't know why he's here but he's coming sir." she then hung up and acted as if nothing ever happened.

[Blacklight 118]

@,

Renatus gave a smile, " Thank you sir." she replied as she walked up to elevator and pressed the button, the elevator quickly taking her to the top floor. Exiting, she followed the directions the attendant gave her, stopping briefly at the door as she thought, Well lets see how this goes...before giving a firm knock at the door.

((Renatus is currently a unicorn mare, a better description of her is in my previous post))  

[The Dark Lord 332]

@, 

 

A colt of around average size answers the door. "Can I help you?" he says looking at the pony who knocked suspiciously.

[Blacklight 118]

@, 

Renatus was surprised when a foal answered the door, though quickly recovered when she asked, " Hi, is there anyone else in there with you?" Inwardly, alarm bells were ringing in his head as she quickly glance behind her, making sure nopony was sneaking up on her before turning her attention to the colt. 

[The Dark Lord 332]

@,

 

"Oh, so you're here for him" The pony said as if understanding, "Someone is coming to get you then. He shouldn't take long"

[Blacklight 118]

@,

Renatus just looked around, hoping to spot the pony that would come get her, though she kept a soft glow on one of the pistols, just in case. This screams something bad is going to happen but lets see...she thought as she stood in the hallway, taking a better look at the colt.

[The Dark Lord 332]

@,

 

Just then a pony of huge size came down the hallway in a calm manner, In such a way you could tell he trained somewhere. He approached Renatus and calmly asked, "What is your business here?"

[Blacklight 118]

@,

Renatus eyes widen slightly at the sight of the huge pony as he approached her and asked what her business was. She stood there frozen for a few seconds before recomposing herself before answering, " I hear your boss is new in town. I just wanted to see if he had any work to be done or if he needed any information."    

[The Dark Lord 332]

@,

 

The pony looked at Renatus as if sizing him up. After a couple of seconds he calmly said "Follow me" and walked down the hall.

[Blacklight 118]

@, 

Renatus followed the large pony as they walked down the hall. Though she couldn't help but stare at the monster of a pony as she thought, Dang...what do they feed that pony? She also checked behind her occasionally to make sure nopony would sneak up on her.  

[The Dark Lord 332]

@,

 

The large pony stopped at a door at the end of the hall and turned toward Renatus. "Any weapons you have shall be confiscated and returned to you when you leave" He said as he waited for Renatus to remove her weapons

[Blacklight 118]

@, 

Renatus hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing with the pony's request as she magically pulled out both her pistols and placed them on the ground next to him. Even though she was weaponless, she was still far from defenseless, with her training and abilities.  

[The Dark Lord 332]

@, 

 

When Renatus put her guns on the ground, the pony then opened the door revealing a desk with two stallions similar to the first positioned next to it. Sitting at the desk was White Shade wearing his iconic skull mask and looking at Renatus intently. He then asked, "Why are you here?"

[UltimaX 63]

"You didn't forget to lock the car, I just unlocked it and got in. But that is not what is important right now. We are still going to go and get the records. It is our only chance of finding out who our criminal is. As for the guns, I do not care. I'm not part of the military"

[Blacklight 118]

@,

Renatus stood unfazed by Black Mask's gaze as she replied, " Word around the city is that your new in town. I'm here because I thought you could use a pony that knows the city like the back of their hoof. I'm also here to see if you have any work to be done." These mobsters never look any better. He thought as she returned the gaze, her expression neutral.
