Meet the New Boss...

"That and the one about staying away from the Feds both date back to the 1950s. There were a couple jackasses who didn't have much common sense, so once they were taken care of in a very public way, those rules were made official and prominent. Some people, it isn't in writing, it isn't real." He shakes his head.

Looking back to Ronnie, Two Bears says "As to the feeding, I can show you two where the Rack is, or as a welcome-to-Reno thing, I can arrange for one of the girls or one of the boys in my stables to meet you at one of the open hotels for an outcall, long as you guarantee you won't leave her or him in too bad shape. We can work out something longer-term along those lines, too, if you want, but let's worry about that later. Speaking of welcome to Reno, you two really should try to get in some time down in the casino, to show the boss you appreciate his gift of them chips."

Oh, I vote for the stable access, said Ronnie. The sooner the better. And then we can go gamble.

[Jack Bennett]

"Sooner we can get fed, the sooner we can do anything without out minds drifting back to it." Jack still had to wonder if Ben had anything up his sleeve, after all he did have something to use against Jack at any time at any place. Damn, I'm starting to think too far ahead. Deal with the short term first, then panic over the rammifications.

Ben nods. "I can set something up with a couple phone calls. You just have to pay for the room. Tonight I'll cover the cost of the escort. Normal rate is straight $350 an hour for feeding, sex extra, rates negotiated with the worker. You prefer to dine on a lady or a gentleman, or no preference? Or are you hungry enough you need more than one?"

[Bo Albion]

Wow. I wasn't expecting it to be so much, said Ronnie, well aware that she was the only one with any cash to pay for anthing.

Would it be tacky to ask if we can share? Wait, no, that would probably be bad for the...what do you call them?- Blood workers? GAHHH.

Thank you so much for your generous offer, though, she added quickly, not wanting to insult the only vampire she'd met so far that seemed to have developed a code of ethical behavior.

You know what, I think we can take care of this on our own. If you could point us to some appropriate clubs, that would be really appreciated, though.

Ronnie is starting to get that panicky, overwhelmed feeling that she's become so well-acquainted with since her transformation.

I'd say I feel like I can't breathe, but...I don't NEED to breathe. WHY is my life so complicated?!?

[DaevaDude]

Ben says, "Sure. Be good way to find your way around town. Be careful, though. You'll probably run into some other Kindred on the prowl, so watch out for frenzy."

He pulls up something on his computer and prints it out... a map of Reno, with Rack areas circled (though not identified), and a listing of clubs, hotels and so forth making up the Rack.

A few of them are starred and have names by them... Brooke, Sven, Fyres. "Those ones, they're owned by vamps who let others hunt there, or use their Herds, but for a fee or in exchange for services. If you go that route, Brooke's the best bet. She keeps her places and her people clean. Outcall escorts, that's my territory."

He hands the map and lists over. "Happy hunting."

Two Bears tells Jack where to meet him tomorrow night, then shows Jack and Ronnie out.

end scene.
