Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

The man backed away slowly, until he reached an elevator. He locked eyes with Acon, as he pressed the button. The man winked, and pulled his mask off, revealing himself to be Ronnie. "I've got a lot of money here, Acon! More than your father could ever pay. There's lots of people who still think about what Ray did, and want him behind bars for life." He laughed, as the doors closed.

[Aconitum]

Acon watched Ronnie leave with Ray. She was slightly intrigued and pissed at the same time.

[Rayleonarde]

As the elevator opened, Ronnie pushed him to the ground. He removed Ray's straitjacket and replaced them with shackles. Ray stood, and Ronnie placed the barrel of his gun into Ray's back, forcing him onto a truck. "Ray, you're gonna have one hell of a time. The best part? Herman won't be able to get his pompous paws on you ever again. Welcome to obscurity!" Ronnie punched Ray in the nose, knocking him to the ground. "You've forgotten your roots, Ray. It's a shame." The truck drove off, through a tunnel that led about a mile away from the asylum, and up a ramp, onto the freeway by a hidden pass.

[Aconitum]

Acon ran to Herman and told all about Ronnie and how he got away with Ray. Herman shook his head and thought. "Acon, I'm sorry but if Ronnie wants Ray that bad, I'm not going to waist my time trying to get him back." Herman rallied up what was left of his guys and they drove off. Acon told Henry to go with, so Acon stood there, unsure of what to do. Suddenly she got an idea. Acon knew it was a stretch, but she called Jacob.

[Farewell]

*Gaia say on the bed crying wondering what she should do* "but I've known death so long.. I can't leave him like that... I have to at least be alone for a month to get my head straight or maybe...ugh"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, as he was lifted from the truck, and into a warehouse. He stumbled in, and was promptly knocked to the ground by rifle butt. Giovanni, Ronnie's boss, and leader of the Society, stood in front of Ray. "You've forgotten about us, left us for another...After all we did for you...laundering, clean up, we even got Bull and Drake to help you. And this is how you repay family?" He turned, and slapped Ray across the face. "Well...you're back now. First thing's first, get rid of your curses, and that stupid tattoo." Ray was moved over to a strange alter, and had a finger stabbed. The blood dripped onto the altar, and an odd looking smoke barreled out. It wrapped around Ray, before dissipating.  They then moved over to another structure, which removed the tattoo, and any curses or magic it gave him. The Society members moved him over to a table, and removed the ash from his wrist and back.  After this, they put him in a cell, laughing as they shut the grate.

[Aconitum]

After it was obvious Jacob wasn't going to answer, she tried swallowing her pride and called Ronnie in tears. She hoped he would answer.

[Rayleonarde]

After another rousing game of 'throw-random-stuff-at-Ray', Ronnie heard his phone, and answered. "Heallo! You've got Ronnie on the line, what'cha need?"

[Aconitum]

Acon shook her head and laughed at herself. "R-Ronnie. It's Acon. Can we talk, please?" She pleaded, choking back tears.

[Rayleonarde]

"Hold on." He put his massive paw over the receiver, muffling his voice, as he shouted at Ray. "Hey! You're girlfriend wants to talk to me, that alright?"  Ray groaned, barely conscious. "'S'what I thought." He moved his paw, and spoke. "Sure, I've got time, what's up?"

[Aconitum]

Acon took a few deep breaths and calmed herself enough to ask Ronnie to meet her in person to talk. "I'll do anything, Ronnie. Please? I just need to talk to you face to face."

[Rayleonarde]

Ronnie thought for a moment. "Hmm...Sure. No funny business, or Ray dies, okay?" He sighed. "Where are we meetin'?"

[Aconitum]

Acon thought for a moment. "Ok, meet me at the Zetter... tonight? I wanna meet In a public setting so I'm not tempted to do anything foolish." Acon rubbed her head.

[Rayleonarde]

"Sure thing, A.  I'll be there in an hour." Ronnie hung up, and pointed at a few of the guys standing around. "Watch Ray, I've got a date with his girlfriend." He shook the cage, and hopped in his Mercedes. Ronnie peeled out, and drove to the Zetter, which took him a little over an hour. He parked, and walked inside, looking around for Acon.

[Aconitum]

Acon was seated in the back with her head in her gloved paws. She had on a white babydoll dress and strapped high heels. Her hair was done in a messy bun.
