Talk Business with The Mayor

Lionel & Jason: Talking with the Mayor
The Mayor's Office
September 10, 2018, 10:35 am
Nice out!  Cool and cloudy

601 N E Street, you know it?

The Mayor nods and holds up a hand to Jason and Lionel as they prepare to leave. Hold up, there. I do know the spot. I know it very well.
Here is the deal boys... You need some of these shares to disappear... maybe for a month... get on your feet... maybe more. And what I need to make that happen is for you to forget about that job right now. Go ahead and charge your investigation fees and all... but understand there is nothing, and I mean officially nothing there. You will get your chance to do what you need to do there... but it will not be today. You make that happen, and I can guarantee that you will not have to worry about those shares at the end of this month.

Actions?

Brownie Point Pool:
Dr. Jason O'Roarke:  214/214 @
Lionel 'Freight Train' Williams: 188/188

@ = One free re-roll without ghost die.  Merry Christmas 2019!

Still messing with his phone, Lionel surreptitiously triggers the camera to record. Wait- what? You'll make some of our debt go away for a month and all we need to do is...ignore...a haunted house for now? When would we be able to investigate? What do we tell the homeowner when we send them a bill, saying we didn't find anything? What do we tell the rest of the team right now? I'm interested, but- he turns, looking at Jason before turning back to the mayor. I think we'd like to know a little more before we can make a deal, sir.

The Mayor's eyes snap to the phone. He laughs and smiles. What debt? Are you asking me for a favor? The city doesn't wipe debts for people, Mr. Williams. And the city doesn't interfere in private operations that stay within the bounds of the law. Whatever conclusions you draw from that are of your own and very personal misinterpretation. queue the politician smile.

Putting the phone in his pocket, Lionel stands up. I'm sorry, sir, I must have misheard you. My apologies for that. Still, we do need to be going. Thank you for making time to speak with us on such short notice. Have a nice day, sir. With that, Lionel will leave the office.

Yeah, I have nothing against looking the other way unless theres actual real danger for people, in that case there aint a whole lot we can do, Jason nod genteelly and follows Lionel out of the door.

As soon as they have put some distance between them and the mayors office he looks at him. So what kind of shit did we step in now....?

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

I don't know. Now I'm really interested in seeing what the guys got themselves into if hizzonor is trying to bribe us to look the other way. He's slick, I give him that. I don't know what's going on, but I tried to tape him offering the bribe and he sniffed that out in a heartbeat. I'll let them know we're coming. We can swing by the fire station and pick up gear on the way.

We may be potentially making a vicious enemy if we do this job, but I'll feel dirty if we don't. If my career as a 'buster ends because we do the right thing and get run out of business as revenge, I don't know what I'll do. At least I'll have a clean conscience, even if I don't have food on the table...or a...table...for that matter.

Lionel texts the others: Done with mayor, going to gear up then join you.

[Taaz]

Yeah, this just makes me think Etta was on to something. Jason follows along as they head to the bust.

[Bluehorse]

Will be moving here and wrapping this soon
