* it was apparent between the new comers in town of the team Harttigan and the battle harded vet Enrico were slowly making a name for themselve and as Alexi and his family struck the first of many blows to the Duedas underworld...things were going to change*

* After breakfast the crew goes "shopping for gear in Las Duedas" as they drive there way down the strip they see the gleaming sky scrapers and standing out on the strip is The Red Star a symbol of change forth coming like the dark cloud before a storm*

* We leave off with Sasha and the Crew walking towards Bongart Ave a old commcercial district ripe with old art deco styled clubs and refurbed speak easys which is also lined with some old vintage shops where you can find pretty much anything *

Lissa glances at all the window displays as they walk by noting a few items that she might like to get, "So, uuh...are we shopping for anything particular or can I grab that antique doohickey over there...heck, I have no idea what it is but I want it!"

*Well seeing as I got all of my shopping done yesterday (we FILLED Tommy's car with shopping bags.) I don't need to shop. So when Tommy and Lissa are distracted I'll motion for Sasha to follow me into one of the most authentic speak easies on the strip. Grabs a table with a good view and waits to order.*

What's your drink of choice Mr. Klaznikov?

*A low rider with a cherry-red custom paint job rumbles up the street and glides along the curb behind the hapless shoppers. The passengers are wearing baggy clothing and bandanas, while Spanish salsa music plays lightly on their radio.

"Hey chicas," says the 20-something, Latino in the passenger seat. "I like what I see. You should get with the real hombres. We know how to party on Mission Street, know what I'm sayin'?"

His cohorts inside the car laugh.

"Get with us down on Mission Street chicas. We treat you fine! Tonight we party. We see you there!"

The car rumbles away.

Lissa watches the car drive away, "Uuh...that sounds...eh...nevermind," then starts heading into the antique store to grab the doohickey.

Tommy= Yea and it becuase of a-holes like them...that make this area look like trash...'yells out yo badeho!!! want some of this!!"

*walks with Lissa down the street...so whatcha think of good ole Sasha?

* As Tommy and the rest of the crew walk down the street they notice that Tommy is leading them to a back alley where an old ware house is*

Tommy= ladies and gents...i like to show you a little place where we can buy some hardware here in Las Duedas...Carmine told me about this place when i first got here.

* walks by an old warehouse door with a wornout sign saying Davenport Coffee Co. the sign seems to be an old reminant of the 50's from when Duedas was just growing*

*Tommy walks in and standing there by a desk is an old man with greying hair wearing a black velvet dress jacket and kahki pants and a white shirt*

Tommy= You must be Renard

Renard= Depends whos asking

Tommy= Friend of Carmine's

Renard= OH so you must be Tommy and you guys must be Enrico, Anna, Lissa and of course....hah Sasha! pleasure to meet you...

Renard= If you need any hardware let me know ill give you a good price...we got flack jackets!, pistols, lots of good deals...so how can i assist you today?

"He's pretty cool. Not quite in tune with the English language yet, but we're still working out the kinks. Otherwise, for the time being, he's a pretty sweet boss," she smiles glancing back at Sasha as they walk, "Oh yeah, and the duckies from this morning were a nice touch."

"Ooookay...this explains what we're doing a little better now..." She takes a quick look around the shop then says simply, "Niiice."

(Shoot, if this was anything like Boondock Saints it would be totally awesome!))

I am need some help vis English. Myelissa is helping me to speak better.

Takes a quick look around for any hidden surveillance equipment, noting a door in the corner. It never hurts to keep in practice. ((Spot check! XD)) He walked over to the pistols, picking each model up and weighing it in his hands.

Do you having... have... AK47?

*Drat. My sneaking away plan failed. Give it time... Hey Lissa! Get some rope!*

Hello sir it's a pleasure to meet you! *Offers hand and smiles.* Unfortunately earlier this morning I... Lost my tazer. I was wondering if you had anything small but just as effective if not more?

((Sneaking away plan? And what are you talking about? What could we possibly need rope for, it's just a waste of space!))

"Yeah, and he's making quite a bit of progress. See? Better already!"

"Okay, look, so I need something that's small and easy to conceal yet has a lot of power behind it and I'm not talking about a tazer. And then something a little bit bigger, forgive me that I'm not familiar with the names of these firearms but I know you can figure what I'm talking about."

Myelissa, if you are looking for something small, might I recommend Walther PPK. Is vwery small 9mm pistol. What are you need for larger gun? Revolver? Machine gun? Beretta M93 is machine pistol with 30 round clip and full automatic setting.

"Hmm...small but can it actually kill someone? It's no use having a hidden pistol if you shoot someone and they just bruise. As for machine pistol...is that like a fully automatic hand gun? 'Cuz that would be awesome. But I've never heard of those before."

Da, Beretta M93 is fully automatic. And if you aim for hed, you usually kill target.

He smiled at her.

I like way you think.

*walks into building, after havign a cigarette.*
*Walks up to counter and places down his Glock 9mm with silencer and 2 spare mags, and his Wolver .92 and 4 spare mags.*
Ok take this peice of SHIT away from me. Back at home, i had to leave my 'Deagles'. Ya know, Desert Eagles. Now, i need 2 'Deagles', two silencers, 4 mags total.
*looks back at Carmine* This is on Alexi right?
*not even waiting for a response, turns back to shop owner.*
Ok, i need an AR-15. Ya know old style military, Before the M series. You do know the M series right? M16? M4 carbine? whatever. AR-15, they can be found pretty much anywhere now-a-days. with that how about a red dot scope. NOT a laser guide. Mounted flashlight. pretty standard shit. and 4 mags for that too.

Ya think you can do that Bub?
