"Well, the brats you adopted might turn out all right" he concedes

"It takes a village." she agrees.

"Wider ho selection that way" He nods "See, low population town? You may have to settle for some UGLY ass bitches. Bigger city? BOOM, keep the dogs in their kennels we got choice"

Jess sighs. "Something like that. Perhaps. I'd better get to work on this. My best to your family."

"Hey.." He reaches into a filing cabinet and hrows her some money, American and Mexican "that's your share. You may need it to buy your way ou of shit if this goes boom on your face"

She catches it by the grace of melee training.

The money is bound in a rubberband or two so doesn' spill since she snagged it

"Huh, Bluetooth , you don't suck completely"

Approving of her relfexes

She looks at the wad.

"Thank you, Necropsis."

"No problem, if you ever want to make some money with less stress ... I got troll sized mattresses to suit you"

"No. Never." she responds firmly.

"I'll be back to you within a week about this information." she nods, and heads out.

As she leaves, the Mexican hooker dressed like a sexy leprhechaun waves "top o the morning to ye"

She manages to keep a groan to herself as she steps back out into the streets.

And so she leaves the Green Pagoda. She. .she may want a shower or.. or to watch a movie with elegance to counter that

.... or both.....

But no, she has work today; planning an effort way WAY out of her wheelhouse.

"Hey mama, you bored?" A man smiles from a corner. Mmm if he's a male prostitute he needs to up his grooming.

Ah, this must be one of the dealers.

"No, thank you."

"Suit yourself" A grin

Jessica heads back to Fenix; she needs to plan.

And she finds the boys waitinng for her, the sluah boys that is

The list is in her pocket by now. "Boys." she says quietly, and crouches to be eye to eye.

"We knnow the name of the man the ghost wants protected. Luis Guperio...his son. He works at the warehouse where they keep the drugs"

"Luis Guperio." She checks her list..... no, he's not a drug dealer but......

Not on the list...

"He works for Capone Grande"

Now that name is, Capone Grande, on the list not as a contact, but a danger. More than that. She's heard Duff mention him before..as an enemy.

"Hmph. Ok, thank you boys. Was there any other news?"

"Death is coming..." "And it's not as fun as itt sounds"
