Chapter 2- Plans

It is around three in the morning. Soren is lying down and Jax is standing by the door. Gunshots, screams, sirens are all heard.

 

Jax (laughing):  “Man the city of Caesar never sleeps!”

 

Soren nods his head in agreement. Then there is the sound of someone coming downstairs.

 

Person: “Caesar never sleeps? I can’t get any damn sleep myself with all this noise.”

 

At the end of the stairway stands a lean, muscular sized person. He has a grin on his face and is holding a knife.

 

Person: “So fellas, when will we start this quest to the top?” Should we aim for the gangs and take over all these territories? Should we bring down the F.O.R.C.E first? When will the world know of the Sunset Squad?”

 

Soren (starts to sit up): “You seem pretty eager Kidd. All that would be hard to accomplish with just the few of us at the base this moment.”

 

Kidd: “Aren’t you forgetting the Boss? With him, this will be an easy feat.”

 

Jax “Boss hasn’t been back in a few months. Who in the hell knows where he is or if he’s even alive.”

 

Kidd (laughs): “Come on Jax. This is the norm for Boss. He’s out there doing more work on the outside than he is here. The only reason he came back last time was to use the bathroom.”

 

A flashback shows a man running in the house saying “Sup!” and then ten minutes later the sound of a toilet flushing starts and the man runs out saying “got to go”.

 

Kidd: “Besides, we do have our older members around. They can be of some use.”

 

Kidd points to a group of people playing cards and talking among themselves

 

Jax: “Nah. Those guys won’t appeal to the fans. I don’t even know their names. Hell this would probably be the last time we see them for a while. If it isn’t Sashimi, Kazuto or Avon it’s pointless.”

 

The group of people starts grumbling.

 

Kidd shrugs his shoulders and says whatever. Soren then asks where everyone else is and either Jax or Kidd has no idea but Kidd was being impatient.

 

Kidd (continues speaking): “As I was saying. Which will we accomplish first? We can just start off small.”

 

Soren: “We’re heading to East Caesar. There aren’t as many gangs in that area as there is in any other part of Caesar. There is only one large gang over there as opposed to the dozens we have around here. Especially over on the West side of the city. Last but not least think of it as a little payback for when they tried to raid our base. Now seeing as this is our first time pulling something like this off do you guys think you can take on the people over there?”

 

Jax: “East Caesar gangs are p*****s. I’ve worked to hard to turn tail. I’ll just give them the good one two.”

 

Jax smacks the door and it flies off its hinges toward Kidd. Kidd easily evades it and sighs

 

Kidd: “Jax you’re a destructive son of a b***h you know that?”

 

Jax: “And you’re a speedy son of a b***h Mr. 1-2-3 Kidd.”

 

Kidd (Gives Jax the middle finger): “So who are we dealing with out there in East Caesar? The main gang over there is Skymon’s right?”

 

Soren: “Yeah “The Son of Vayu.”

 

After Soren mentions the name you can see a silhouette of a man with a huge grin on his face.

For some reason “Man the city of Caesar never sleeps!” seems ironic, but I'm not sure why...

[MadeCheaply]

Oh my, favorite line "the only reason he came back the last time was to use the restroom"
XD Good job!

[Ruby Read]

I think this is my second favorite chapter!

[Spookers]

This was a lot better than the introdution. It could still stand to rack up some points in the imagry section, though. But I like the bits of comedy in it. Like, for some reason, I can't stop laughing because of the boss coming in just to to to the restroom.

[Paradoxical]

I like the introductions of both the setting and the people. Great subtlety. And the things mentioned with no explanation make the reader ask more questions and want to keep reading. Very interesting and I also like the character developments of Jax and Soren in just this short space. I think I will like Jax! The boss seems like a really funny person (or maybe it's the picture that came to mind with the bathroom scene thing... I thought it would be really amusing!). So far I'm liking this more and more!

[Emunah June.]

That Boss dude sounds uber busy. XD I like that flashback with him running to use the bathroom. And Caesar sounds alot like New York. Did you base it off of that by any chance?

[State of Grace]

haha this is great!

[The fallen of innocence]

I rly like ur writing

[sugar]

lmaaooo, nice folow up from the first and very funny

[Rae]

I have to agree about the comedy. I liked how the boss just came back to use the bathroom, then he ran out saying "got to go". When I visualized this in my head, I couldn't stop laughing. The boss seems to be a really cool and funny guy. I hope he comes in at later chapters. And the dialogue between Jax and Kidd... both calling each other a "son of a b***h" and then Kidd gives Jax the middle finger... I seriously couldn't stop laughing this chapter. ^^
