*Jacob Taps ray with the rifle*"Buddy boy...i will kill ronnie"

[Rayleonarde]

*I lay on the ground, swaying in and out of consciousness.*

After a while of her father trying to hold conversation, Acon finally had enough. "Papa, as much as I'd like to stay and chit chat, I really must be going." She interupted him in the middle of a story about when laborers were respected as gods back when he was a kid. "Of course, my little mafia princess." He teased with a warm laugh like gravel. Acon forced a smile and jumped out of the suv when it stopped. The car spead off and Acon turned into a park for a little stroll. To her surprise, Ronnie was seated on a bentch, his face turned upward to the night sky.

*Jacob watches the conversation through his rifle scope before vanishing with blink*

[Farewell]

 *gaia throws Ray to the police officer* "lock him up..." *after she walks to her apartment*

[Aconitum]

Ronnie noticed Acon after a bit and winked at her before he stood and left in a blink of an eye. For a second, she thought she was going crazy. Acon shook her head and continued walking.

[Rayleonarde]

*I sit in the back of the police car, suit bloodied and face not much better. The cops have removed my gloves, and have several documents from my apartment.* "So...Mr. Rayleonarde.  We've got you on so many accounts of robbery, attempted murder of civilians, and the murder of officers of the law..." *He chuckles.* "You like lookin' at the moon? Feeling the sun's rays dance across your skin? Feeling the wind blow across your face?" *He leans in close, and whispers.* "You ain't ever gonna feel it again, bud." *I wince, realizing that I'm easily getting twenty to life.  The police shut the doors, and speed off to the state penitentiary, Black Iron Correctional Facility. After putting me in an orange jumpsuit, and shackling my paws, they throw me into an empty cell.* "Don't put anyone in here. This'n's got issues. Very crafty." *I watch as he leaves, and I look out the barred window.* "I'm sorry...Jacob, Gaia...Dodge...Acon...Bull...Drake...I'm sorry I drew you all into this...I just wanted to pay my dues, and stop...Maybe start a business. Now...Bull's dead...Drake's kids don't have a father...Everyone hates me...I tried to be the good guy...I really did. I just...can't do anything right." *I sit down on the bed, amidst the raucous calls from the other prisoners, things like 'fresh meat' and 'new piece'.*

*I wake up drowsy and confused* "ugh what time is it?" * on complete reflex I call Rays phone*

[Aconitum]

Herman, after speaking to many officers and breaking many knee caps, was lead to Ray's cell by a very distraught guard. "This the one? Rayleonarde? He's workin close with Ronnie?" He asked. The guard nodded and stepped out of the way. Herman examined Ray with a critical eye. "How long's it been, boy? A week, few months since you last saw the light of day?"

[Rayleonarde]

*I look up at Herman, my eyes sunken in my skull. Various inane scrabbling covers the walls, some lists of regrets where others are escape plans.* "Who is the one asking the question?" *The guard spoke up.* "H-He hasn't been allowed interaction with...well...anything, really...other than being bathed in the showers...sometimes...he's been in here." *He leans towards the cell, and taps it with his club, forgetting Herman's presence for a moment.* "Isn't that right, our resident mastermind? You're nuts, you know that?" *The guard walks out of the cell block, noticing his shift was up.*

[Aconitum]

Herman nodded. "Good," he said in appoval of Ray's isolated state. "How would you like a second chance, boy. A chance to work for me. I'll give ya good home, some warm food in your belly. Everything's already been worked out. All we need now is your ok and you can be outta here." Herman offered with a cold grin.

[Rayleonarde]

*I stand up, the chains of my shackles clanking.* "This one offers a home, without even a name? Oh ho ho, but he knows me! Of course, any sane person would say yes, wouldn't they? But I know this game, you let me in, and I turn profits for you. Robbing, stealing, killing...whatever you want. Who cares if I get caught, and brought back, right?" *I walk up to the cell bars, staring at Herman.* "Who sent you? Ronnie, looking for his cash? Jacob, Gaia, and Dodge, because they don't think they did enough!? Or..." *I turn and look out the window.* "Was it...her? Did she send you? Wanting something...she had my home, my clothes, my food. I let her in, and she left me there...the red and blue glaring in my eyes. I watched, oh yes...I watched as her knife plunged deepest into my spine, as she walked without even offering help."

*Jacob Keep a new appearance of a dark hodded guy with a glowy eyed gas mask he faked his death to erase his name he now silently stalks the shadows,A Terrifykng internal nightmare*

[Aconitum]

Herman smiled. "Ah, yes. The fire in you is perfect. You see, Rayleonarde, I am Herman Lovien. Head of the Lovien crime family. Ronnie was a fool, but with me, you will have immunity from arrest on any job you do under my employment. Ronnie won't touch you if he knows what's good for him. As for those little ants Gaia and Jacob. They won't matter any more." He said matter of factly.

[Rayleonarde]

*I sigh.* "A bargain...with another family? What does it require this time? Another group of restrained innocents executed? Beating a drug peddler with a nail board, because you derive some high from the suffering of others?" *I walk up to the bars, and grip them.* "You still haven't answered my question. Who led you here?" *I grip the bars, tighter, causing my knuckles to crack.* "Tell me."
