Apparent that the lady on the other end was drunk, Kevin replied, "Yes that is my name. An I'm guessing from what I could understand from you that your name is Thakorise, right? I'll inform Carlos though you are in no shape to effectively help us out. I don't think you would be useful for anything, I'll pass on the message but don't expect much." Kevin said, "Bye now." He hung up expecting that this was another one of Carlos' wild leads. If Kevin wasn't around Carlos wouldn't stand a chance. He was too risky, which is why he must get finished packing once again.
Carlos banged on the metal door as he entered again. "Kevin? We ready yet?" he yelled out as he saw boxes stacked near the door. "You won't believe it but I..."
"There you are damnit," Kevin yelled back. "Where the hell have you been? You run in here telling me that s**t has hit the fan then run off for an hour while I try to save our a** yet again." Kevin came into the room carrying another box, "Fortunately we left most of our stuff at the last place we were at so this is all we have."
Carlos stopped and looked at the small pile of boxes, "That's it? There's only like half a dozen boxes here." Feeling Kevin's anger he said sorrowfully, "I'm sorry man. But this girl was magnificent. I felt something was wrong and went to another rescue, I didn't make it in time. But we still talked I think she likes me a little." He finally got another smile on his face. He lifted some boxes and carried some out the side door to a truck.
Still angered Kevin picked up some boxes and helped move them to the truck, "You were gone for this girl you don't even know, when at any moment we could be dead." Placing the box into the bed he started back as he remembered the call, "Hey. I think one of your 'leads' called. She said that she had an offer, but she was obviously drunk from her constant hiccups and slurring. I believe she said her name was Thak...Tahko..."
"Thakorise?" Carlos quickly replied as he tossed his box into the bed and ran inside looking for the phone.
"Yeah that's it," he said picking up another box. "Who's this chick anyway?" He lifted the box noticing Carlos had picked up his phone. "Are you going to help out?"
Checking the answered calls list he found the last number to come in. Pressing the call button he placed it to his ear as it rang. Waiting he answers Kevin as he walks out the door, "She's that girl I was talking about. What do you mean an offer? What did she say?" The phone rang twice and he waited for an answer, Answer, answer, please answer.

She lay face down no the bed snoozing off. Her hair was a royal mess and her drink was all over the carpet. She would get it cleaned the next day. Thakie felt bad about what happened with Carlos having to move and wanted to offer him a place with her. Truly, she only wanted him close by and also to do her a favor which included ridding herself of Viktor.
As she slept untroubled, her phone began to ring startling her from her light snooze. She picked it up and answer. "Allyoo.." She was still drunk but not as bad as she was before.

Carlos heard the familiar voice of Thakorise on the other end and excitedly said, "Thakorise? It's me Carlos. You called a it ago." He looked at Kevin as he walked in grabbing another box.
"Get over here and help out," Kevin yelled at Carlos as he started again to the truck.
Placing his hand over the reciever, Carlos called back, "I'll get there when I'm done." Removing his hand he continued to Thakorise, "Hey I'm glad to see you got home safely."

"I did? Yeah, yeah...I did. HI CARLOS!!! Why did I call?" She stopped adput her fingers beneath her lips, frowning. "Oh yeah...I think, think I remember. Viktor, my finace...finance...financee...fiance, I want him gone...but I don't want scandal...no no. I want him gone but...I need actor. You be fine...but you...you have to stay here with me. Yeah, that it I think. You and your friend get paid, you friend...he be my cousin. I tell you later....what you want?" She was completely confused and had been babbling somewhat incoherently. She was again sprawled down on her bed so her voice was muffled. The alcohol was wearing off so she could think somewhat clearly.

"Huh?" Carlos asked a bit surprised, "You want Kevin and me to stay with you? Exactly how is this going to work? Do you want to meet somewhere and explain it then? Kevin is a bit picky with scams and details."
Grabbing the last box Kevin yelled out, "Thanks for all the help." Then under his breath he said, "a*****e." Placing the box in the truck he walked towards Carlos, "So what's the deal?"
Carlos replied with his hand over the reciever, "I'm not sure yet. I'm going to make a meeting where you can get the details you need. You always plan this stuff after all." He smiled a little as Kevin gave a small sigh. Then Carlos talked back to the phone, "Well is there any place you would like to meet at?"

"I ca-can't...oh..." she groaned. She was beginning to feel terrible. "I can't get out, too busted up. You come where I be. I want Viktor off the firm and out the spotlight to avoid scandal. I also want all the money he's got so he'll go bankrupt. I...tell me if you're coming first, then I explain. Now...my head feels weird."

((I am sooo behind, I am sorry! I have exams the next week and I am having to do one roleplay a night...It's horrible!))
Ace strolled somberly down the street, his legs taking him here and there, visiting cafes and other random spots picking up bits and pieces of conversations and sometimes starting conversation relating to Chen.When he finally came across a young man whom looked to be in a gang of sorts he at first started out with small questions like what he did and who he worked for soon finding he wasn't part of Chen's part he sighed. As he asked a few more question he found Chen was currently in a case of somesort and was being defended by none other than some of the best lawyers in town.
As he gave his goodbyes to the man he stalked off having some information on where he could find Chen, but that made it even more difficult, wondering whether he was in prison while at trial or if he was at home, that only his personal or gang members could tell him.As he poked and prodded here and there he wondered if he was ever going to get his answers as for the night, people was rapidly leaving the cafes and bars so it was going to be hard unless a gang shoot out started right infront of him with Chen's gand and some other.

"Woah woah hold on," Carlos said as Thakroise quickly said the last part, "You want to screw over your fiance?" He looked at Kevin that said start the car. "So if you can't leave how do we see you? I don't think we can just walk up to your door and say relationship breakup here can we speak to Thakorise please. Things need to be a little more organized than that." Carlos heard the truck start up and the side door slamming closed as Kevin entered again.
"Whenever you're ready," Kevin told Carlos as he waited for him to come. Carlos followed behind Kevin as he kept hold of the cell phone. They both entered the truck and Kevin watched as Carlos closed his door, "Where to?"
"Not sure yet," Carlos replied, "So Thakorise, where do you want us to go? Somewhere local or your place, either way we'll need directions."

"Umm...Carlos...young as I am, I have my own house. It's on my father's property, but it is mine. I have my own gate, gardens, everything. If you walk up to my door, i'll be the only one inside to answer. I live near Lexington on Lenox St. You can't miss my house, it's the smaller one of the two on the road. The bigger one belongs to my parents and there are no lights on outside that." Her speech was slurred on some words and she paused many times, but she got the words out rather well as opposed to her condition.
[[ Ish too lazy to format the speech to that of a drunk. >< ]]

"Woah excuse me little miss queen," Carlos said jokingly. "So Lenox street? Okay we'll be there in about half an hour. Good bye and make sure you stay awake to let us in." As Carlos closed the phone he scanned the clock and realized it was two thirty in the the morning. As Kevin pulled out of the alley way Carlos told him, "We're heading to Lenox St. She says there are only two houses there and she's in the smaller one. I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do, but it deals with making some rich lawyer bankrupt." The last part he said with a grin. Sure Thakorise had asked for the money, but hey they could use risk payments as well as bonuses. He pondered on this and the thought of living with Thakorise as they continued through the dimly lit roads.

Thakorise hung the phone up and went downstairs. She fixed herself a cup of coffee and went to the small sitting room near the front door. Turning on her stereo, she popped in a selection of CDs containing various types of music. She sat, sipped her coffee to clear her head and waited for Carlos and his friend to arrive.

Driving for awhile now, Kevin turned onto Lenox street. "Well here we are," he said waking up Carlos. Slowly pulling up the driveway of what looked like the smaller house he added, "Dude this chick is loaded. If this is small I'd like a small batch of cash about now." He gave a small laugh as he put the truck into park and turned it off. "So what now Romeo?"
Carlos blinked a couple times as he stretched out and yawned. Looking at the massive house he looked back at Carlos in desbelief, "Are you sure this is it?" Opening his door he looked up at how massive it was compared to anything he had ever been used to. Turning back to Kevin he said, "Well she said just to go up to the door and meet her, so come on." He slammed his door shut and started walking the pathway to the front door as Kevin quickly followed behind. Carlos pressed the door bell which gave a nice soft melody rather than than monotonous ding dong.

She jumped up when the doorbell rang. Her empty mug had been placed on her coffee table and she was about to doze off. She went to the door and turned on the outside light. She looked through the glass panes and turned the lights back off.
Thakorise opened the door and looked out. Carlos and what she presumed to be Kevin were both out there. She smiled and stepped aside to let them in. "Hi Carlos...and...um...Kevin."
She was wearing long black sweatpants with red socks and a small red tanktop. She did not look to be one of her class dressed so plainly, but she did not care. Her hair was out and a bit mussed, she wore no makeup causing her to glow naturally. She wore make-up to cover this.

Carlos gazed as Thakorise appeared, glowing behind the magestic doors. He snapped out of his daze when she said his name. Shaking his head he said, "Huh. Yes, thanks for having us."
As Carlos walked inside, Kevin stayed back for a small moment taking in what he could see through the doorway. Seeing Thakorise in what they would consider 'commoners' clothing, though to Kevin and Carlos was still pretty high end especially in the slum areas they usually stay out, he decided to walk in.
Carlos had stopped in what seemed like a lobby area. A chandelier hung high above with steps that lead to the upper levels of the mansion like house. Kevin came from behind him and gave the same surprised look that is now upon Carlos' face. Regaining himself he turned and said, "This place is magnificent. Truly a beauty."

"Thank you. It took forever to make it look like this. Follow me." She walked towards the general direction of the kitchen, but first stopped before a wall that was completely filled with a single picture. A red haired man about six feet nine inches stood behind a beautiful, young blonde woman. Both had very cold, hard looks on their faces. Standing next to the woman was a young child with a malicious look about her. She looked as though she did not want to be there like she had much better to do. "That's me and my parent's." She then continued to the kitchen, throwing out a half finished bottle of chardonay that was on the table. "Would either one of you like something to drink?"
