The scene is at a large white building with golden bells on top. Many of Ludwig and Abel's Mafia companions are there seating in chairs outside in a long strait row. Everyone is dressed up in coats and tails threw out the scene. Ludwig and Abel are both wearing shiny black tuxes and are standing in front of the white building. Then, from down the walkway between the chairs, Minerva and Fifi slowly walks up to Ludwig and Abel in their long white dresses. Minerva stops by Ludwig, and Fifi stops by Abel. A black male Duck in a long black overcoat and large black hat then walks over to the four.
[The Duck]
Friends, we have gathered here today to unite, yet another. Ludwig Van to Minerva Mink, Abel Dusable to Fifi. Ahhhh! Let's just cut the fancy stuff and get to the good part! Ludwig, Abel, do you have the rings?
[Ludwig]
Ja.
[Abel]
Yes.
[The Duck]
Good, place the rings on your bride's finger.
(Ludwig and Abel then do so.)
[The Duck]
Do you Minerva, take Ludwig to be...
[Minerva]
Yes!
[The Duck]
Ok... And do you Ludwig, take Minerva to be your lawfully wedded wife?
[Ludwig]
Ah..., Ja.
[The Duck]
Do you Fifi, take Abel to be your lawfully wedded husband?
[Fifi]
Wee.
[The Duck]
And do you Abel, take Fifi to be yourlawfully wedded wife?
[Abel]
Yes I do.
[The Duck]
Than by the power invested in me by the great state of Utah, I now pronounce both couples, husband and wife! You may now kiss your brides gentleman.
(They were then about to kiss but then Murray stud up out of the crowed.)
[Murray]
Hay Ludwig, Abel! I thought the Boss told you two to never get married to dames that know too much!
[Ludwig]
What, er... der Boss never said that!
[Abel]
Ah... yeah!
(The Duck then changed into Thorne and garbed Ludwig and Abel by the back of their tuxes.
)
[Thorne]
Oh, I didn't did I!
The cowed of people in the seats then stand up and pull out their Tommy Guns. They aim them at the four. Thorne then backs away from them.
[Thorne]
I told ya not to mess with me see! Ha, ha, ha, ha...!
Several gun shots then could be heard as the scene got dark. Ludwig then jump out of his bed.
[Ludwig]
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Huh? What der, what, what happened?
(He then looks around with eyes as wide as bowls.)
[Ludwig]
Ah... It was just a dream...
(Ludwig then gets out of his bed and starts talking in his mind while he gets ready for work.)
[Ludwig]
Arek! That was horrible! Me, getting married, to Minerva! Now that's one dame Ich couldn't handle! But she ist fun to be with... She's such a sweet heart, but Ich wonder how long that would last if we really got married. Nicht long I'm afraid, most don't... Oh, Ich hope Thorne ist ok with me und Abel having a night on der town for just once. Und that blasted Murray! He would be der one to mess up my dream! Und that Duck changing into Thorne, eck! Und he shot me! Und all of der pack turned on me und Abel... Poor Abel, Ich hate to have him in with us. He's such a nice fellow. Und Minerva, Ich really wish Ich knew how to tell her that it's too dangerous to be with me. Ich love her, but Ich love her as a friend. Ich don't want anything bad to happen to her, I'll never forgive myself. Arg! This ist just what Thorne was talking about! Ich am too soft! Ich need to learn how to be more upright with myself. Stop having so much sympathy for others all der time. Going on that date with Minerva could have already put her life in danger! Someone could have saw us und thought that Ich told her something she wasn't supposed to know. But she knows everything about me. If Thorne finds out, he'll have someone rub her out for him, maybe me! Oh no, what about Abel und his date! He'll get her in trouble with der pack too! She doesn't even know Abel ist a member of der TC, Ich don't think. Heck, Abel doesn't even know yet! Ich wonder when, or how Thorne will tell him. Um... Ich think Ich should tell him before he does something that may endanger his life along with Fifi's.
Ludwig was then ready, and dressed. He picks up his hat that fell on the floor while he was asleep, walks over to the door, unlocks it, quickly opens it, walks out, gently closes it and locks it. He ran down stairs all the way to the first floor.
[Ludwig]
What ist so wrong with this place having an elevator! Sheh! Ich left Deutschland for this!
Once he was down stairs, Ludwig opens the front doors to the building and quickly walks out onto the sidewalk. He then takes his usual path back to work crossing over several streets and sidewalk corners. Once arriving at his work doman, Ludwig opens the doors and runs inside. He runs all the way up stairs to his office door. He then unlocks his door, opens it, and ran inside with the door open. As he began to sit in his desk chair, Thorne came in with a smile on his face.
[Thorne]
Ah, your on time!
[Ludwig]
Ja, Ich am.
[Thorne]
Where's Abel?
[Ludwig]
Hummm, haven't seen him since we left work yesterday.
[Thorne]
Really? He'd better not be up to something see!
[Ludwig]
Please Thorne, go easy on him.
[Thorne]
Why?
[Ludwig]
Well... because he's nicht that bad. I'm sure if he's late he's late for a gut reason.
[Thorne]
There are no good reasons for being late! And he had better be here before 8:00 see, na! Or he'll be getting the hard jobs to pull!
[Ludwig] *Mumbles*
Come on Abel pal...
(Just then, Murray came into Ludwig's office.)
[Murray]
Hi Boss, hi Ludwig!
[Thorne]
Well, Ludwig, I hope you've noticed that Murray wasn't at your house this morning.
[Ludwig]
Heh, I'm just now noticing. Why weren't you Murray?
[Murray]
Because the Boss here thinks that your ok to be trusted now.
[Ludwig]
Oh, Ich see...
[Thorne]
Come on Ludwig, ya know that I was just kidding with ya all this time! You didn't think that I really didn't trust you! Why, your my right hand man see! If I can't trust you, who else can I trust?
[Ludwig]
Ist that so? Well, I'm glad it's nicht true then.
[Thorne]
You are huh? Well, glad to know your taking this so well...
[Ludwig]
Hay, I'm nicht worried about that. I'm worried about what happens once Abel finds out he's apart of an operation that takes lives over money.
[Thorne]
Something wrong with that?
[Murray]
Well, yeah. You see, it's...
[Thorne]
Quiet Murray!
[Ludwig]
Look Thorne, I'm just concerned about der outcome.
[Thorne]
It's not the outcome, it's the income you need to worry about see. What's your deal with this kid anyway? It's not like we've never pulled in someone off the streets before.
[Ludwig]
It's just that... oh never mind.
[Thorne]
Humm... all right. Ludwig, I think you getting soft on us.
[Ludwig]
Ich suppose so.
[Thorne]
Tell ya what.
[Thorne] *Hands Ludwig a small gun*
Shoot Murray.
[Ludwig]
What!?
[Murray]
What!
[Thorne]
You heard me, shoot him.
[Ludwig]
For what? Thorne, Ich can't shoot Murray.
[Thorne] *Grins*
Shoot Him...
[Thorne] *Pulls out another gun*
Or I'll shoot you, see? What's it gona be?
[Ludwig] *Hesitates*
But, but... Ah...
(Ludwig then looks at the gun now pointing to his chest.)
[Ludwig]
No, I'm nicht doing it.
[Murray]
Huh?
[Thorne]
What?
[Ludwig]
I'm nicht doing it.
[Thorne] *Looks down and smiles*
See Ludwig, you can be strong, when you need to.
[Ludwig]
Please, don't every do that again.
[Thorne]
You see Murray, you've got a good friend here.
[Murray]
Yes, he is. Thanks Ludwig, you'd even stand up agenst the Boss for me. No ordenary member would do such a thing.
[Thorne]
That's right.
[Ludwig] *Sighs*
Thanks...
[Thorne]
Ok Ludwig, it's now been about five minutes. So where's Abel?
[Ludwig]
It's 7:55, he still has five more minutes, just be patient.
[Thorne]
Look, I'm going to my office see. And by the time I come back he had better be here. I think I just found out what his first job is going to be... to... ah... prove his loyalty...
(Thorne then slowly walks out of Ludwig's office through the already opened front door. He soon disappears from site.)
[Ludwig]
What are we going to do...?
[Murray]
About what?
[Ludwig]
About der fact that we need to try und worn Abel about what he's getting into.
[Murray]
What's the point? Abel's going to find out anyway.
[Ludwig]
Yeah, but at least he wouldn't say things like I'm leaving, or I'm calling der police.
[Murray]
Yikes! Ya think he will?
[Ludwig]
Ich don't think anyone ist stupid enough to say something like that in front of Thorne.
[Murray]
That reminds me, did Thorne tell you that he maybe going public soon?
[Ludwig]
Really? Why?
[Murray]
He thinks that the law can't touch him if they don't have any evidence that he did anything. Even if they know he did something, they still couldn't do anything about it.
[Ludwig]
True, but, isn't that a big risk of getting shot on der streets?
[Murray]
Not really. Capon does it up in Chicago.
[Ludwig]
Yeah, but Capon ist a Carnivore, nicht a Herbivore like Thorne.
[Murray]
Oh... Ich see your point. They'd be glad to shoot him even if he didn't do anything.
[Ludwig]
Yeah, und plus der people of Chic...
(Abel then walks in.)
[Abel]
Hi Ludwig and Murray!
[Ludwig]
Abel! Glad you made it on time.
[Murray]
Hello!
[Abel]
It took me a while to get here because I over slept... Plus I had an odd dream.
[Ludwig]
Ah, Ich see... Hope der Boss can understand that.
[Abel]
Is he made at me?
[Ludwig]
He would have been in about two minutes.
[Abel]
See, I'm still on time.
[Ludwig]
That you are pal.
[Abel]
So, what do I do now?
[Murray]
Boss!!!!
(Thorne then answers from his office.)
[Thorne]
Yeah!!!!?
[Murray]
Abel's here!!!!
[Thorne]
Ah, good good!!!!
[Abel]
I wonder what my first job is going to be.
[Ludwig]
Heh... Ich wonder too.
(Thorne comes walking in.)
[Thorne]
Well, Abel. Glad to see you made it on time aswell.
[Abel]
Yes, Sir.
[Thorne] *Grins*
Heh, heh, heh... heh. Abel, Ludwig, Murray, come with me.
They all then walk out the office door and into the hallway with Thorne leading the way. Once in the hallway they walk inside Thorne's office and stop in front of his large desk. Thorne walks over behind his desk and sits down in his chair.
[Thorne]
Ok boys, lock the doors!
(Ludwig, Abel, and Murray look behind them. Two large white male Bitbulls wearing short blue and white striped coats then close the doors.)
[Abel]
What's going on?
[Thorne]
Abel, meet Arnold, the one on the right, and Hine, the one on the left.
[Abel]
Who are they?
[Thorne]
Why, they are my bouncers. For security purposes.
[Abel]
Security purposes... Why?
[Thorne]
Well, Abel, let me put it this why. You don't actually work for a normal business.
[Abel]
What do you mean?
[Thorne]
Heh heh... Abel, you have no idea do you? Does the key words Thorne and oil ring a bell?
[Abel]
Yeah, Thorne the oil smuggler. But what does he have to do with you?
[Thorne]
Who do you think I am!
[Abel] *Takes a few steps back*
You mean, your Thorne Al La Rosa!
[Thorne]
In the fur!
[Abel] *Gulps an does a hand crossing prayer*
................
[Thorne]
No need for that Abel, I'm not going to hurt you see. Just as long as you do as I say.
[Abel]
What would that be?
[Thorne]
I have some guy on 7th Street that hasn't paid up the money he owes me see, and I want you, Ludwig and Murray to get it. And when I want my money, I want my money, see! So do what ever it takes to get it!
[Abel]
Please don't make me do this, I'm not cut out for this kind of job.
[Thorne]
You will do as you are told or you will be in even a larger jam then they are!
[Abel] *Gulps*
Yes sir.
[Ludwig]
Boss, don't you think that this ist too much for him right now? He isn't even armed.
[Thorne]
Na, he can pull this off. As for being armed...
Thorne then gets up and walks over to a lager brown door behind his desk. He then opens it and a howl set of guns and bullets are inside neatly in order from smallest to largest. He walks inside, picks up a small black gun from the front, walks out of the room, closes the door, and walks over to Abel.
[Thorne]
Here you go kid. Take it.
[Abel] *Hesitates*
I... I...
[Thorne]
Take it!
(Abel then slowly takes the gun from Thorne and puts it in his coat pocket.)
[Abel]
I really hate to do this.
[Thorne]
You'll get used to it. We all did. Right Murray?
[Murray] *Nods*
Right.
[Ludwig]
Well, Boss. Ich guess that's it huh? If he pulls this off, he'll live, if he doesn't, he'll died?
[Thorne]
That's pretty much it. Oh, and Abel. Since you know who we are now, Ich guess we can give you our side names.
[Abel]
Side names?
[Thorne]
Yeah, like I'm Thorne Jackknife. Ludwig's Tombstone Van, and Murray's Chainlock Fingers. Hum..., I never noticed before, but I see you wear gloves. Only us Herbs wear gloves see, na.
[Abel]
Well, I wear them because my hands slips on slippery things. I can't get a grasp on slippery things without my gloves. I don't have that much traction on my hands. Oh, and Carnivores wear gloves too.
[Thorne]
Haven't seen any in my time kid. Heh heh, what an excuse! My hands slips on slippery things! Say, that's it! We'll call you Slippery Fingers Dusable!
[Abel]
The name fits, but I'm still trying to get used to what I mite be doing here...
[Thorne]
You mean your trying to get used to what your going to be doing. The kids so nervous he can't even talk strait!
[Abel]
Yes I am.
[Thorne]
Well, get over it! Your going to do this and that's that!
[Abel] *Sighs*
Ha...
[Thorne]
What are you all waiting for? Get going!
[Abel]
Now?
[Thorne]
Yes, now!
[Abel]
But Sir, I don't know much about gangster ways, but it's daylight. Shouldn't we be doing something like this at night?
[Thorne]
Not in this gang, we're open twenty-four hours see.
[Murray]
Come on Abel, we're going.
[Thorne]
Oh, and one more thing. Abel, don't EVER tell anyone anything about what just happened here. If you do, me and the gang will have to put you out of commission, PERMANENTLY!!!
[Abel] *Gulps*
Ok..
[Thorne]
Good... Now get!
Ludwig, Murray, and Abel then walk over to the front doors that were now being held opened by the two Bouncers. Once they walk out, the two Bouncers close the doors. The three then start to walk down the stairs.
[Ludwig] *Talking while walking down the stairs*
It will be ok Abel, we'll do der hard stuff for ya. But pay attention cause you may have to do this kind of work with someone else rather then us. Und your going to need to know this.
[Murray]
Yeah, just watch us at work.
[Abel]
Thanks guys.
Once they where on the first floor, they walk out of the building and start their long walk to 7th Street.
-
Meanwhile, Johnathan was having a late breakfast at the Mc Johnson Restaurant on 2nd Street. As he was eating his meal, he spots Jack walking in.
[Johnathan] *Mumbles*
Ah... heres my chance. Victor, don't lie to me.
(Jack walks over to Johnathan and sits beside him.)
[Jack]
How ya been doin Johnathan?
[Johnathan]
Oh, fine, just fine.
[Jack]
Great.
(Jack then sits down on the stole next to Johnathan.)
[Jack]
So... what's new?
[Johnathan]
Nothing. What about you?
[Jack]
My your not very chattery today! Well, I've just been about the town here and there. Not much of anything new.
[Johnathan]
What do you do around town.
[Jack]
Well, I help make sure things get to where they belong. You know, stuff.
[Johnathan]
Stuff?
[Jack]
Yeah, stuff.
[Johnathan]
What kind of stuff?
[Jack]
It's a little hard to explain, I'll tell you later.
[Johnathan]
Try me.
[Jack]
What's your problem? Having a bad day? If so, don't take it out on me.
(Johnathan takes out a glass from his coat pocket.)
[Johnathan]
Does this thing belong to you?
[Jack] *Takes the glass*
Why yes, yes it dose. Thanks, where did you find it? I haven't seen it in years.
[Johnathan]
Well, do you remember where you last saw it?
[Jack]
I think so, I think I saw it last at... Oh no, I forgot.
[Johnathan]
Hum...ok. I've gota go Jack, I'll see ya later.
[Jack]
All right. Seeya.
(Johnathan then walks out the front doors of the restaurant, opens them, walked out, and stops on the sidewalk.
[Johnathan] *Looks around*
Now, where's Victor?
He spots two cops walking over from a donut shop across the street. He then runs over to them.
[Johnathan]
Hay, hay, wait a sec!
[Commander Wolf]
Yes?
[Johnathan]
Do one of you know where I can find Victor, the detective of Vancin?
[Commander Wolf] *Takes a bite of a his donut*
Ommhmhm... Ah... He should be inside the coffee shop.
[Chief Werekitty]
Yeah, he always goes there at about this time.
[Johnathan]
Thanks.
Johnathan turns to his left and walks down the sidewalk to the coffee shop. The shop was only two blocks down, so he got there quickly. Once there, he then pushes open the front door, walks inside and looks around. He then spots Victor over at table in the middle of the room. Johnathan then walks over to him.
[Johnathan]
Hay, Victor, it's me, Johnathan.
[Victor]
Oh, hay there. What brings you here?
[Johnathan]
What brings me here is that you didn't come once I left talking to Jack.
[Victor] *Spits out his coffee*
What! *Wiespers* I mean what? You weren't supposed to do that yet. We didn't organized anything. Is he still there?
[Johnathan]
Ah... right. Yeah, but we had better hurry before he leaves.
[Victor]
Right, let's go then.
[Victor] *Turns to look at a table across from him*
Come on boys!
(Three gray male Wolfs in long black coats then get up from their table and walk over to Victor and Johnathan.)
[Victor]
Johnathan, I would like for you to meet the men that are going to arrest Jack.
[Johnathan]
Ah, looks like you DO have them ready.
[Victor]
Well, no. They just come with me to this place every once in a while. Their not here on duty, their on break like me. But, this is a big exception!
(Victor, Johnathan, and the three Wolfs then walk out the front door of the shop and stands outside on the sidewalk.)
[Victor]
Ok, now where is he?
[Johnathan]
Follow me.
[Victor] *Taking while walking*
That reminds me, did you get any evidence?
[Johnathan]
Yeah, he recognized the glass and said it was his.
[Victor]
Ah, that's our man!
(Once they reach the McJohnson Restaurant, they then slow down.)
[Victor]
Ok, now, he maybe armed, so act causally.
The three Wolfs take out their Tommy Guns from their coats and load them with their ammunition wheels. The three Wolfs burst inside the restaurant, followed by Victor and Johnathan.
[Victor]
All right Jackie, your under arrest!
(Jack then turns his stool around.)
[Jack]
What is this, eh?
[Victor]
You know what this is! Your under arrest for smuggling, thievery, for murdering three police officers, and organizing a hit-and-run effort.
[Johnathan]
I didn't know he did all that.
[Victor] *Looks at Johnathan*
Some things I didn't tell ya. Don't think there's a charge against that last one though...
(A loud gun shot then could be heard.)
[Victor]
I didn't tell you to fire!
[The Seconed Wolf Gard]
Yeah, but he pulled out a gun and pointed it at you!
[Victor]
Hum... that's what I get for taking my eye of the enemy.
(They walk over to Jack who is now laying on the floor.)
[Victor]
Where did you shoot him?
[The Seconed Wolf Gard]
Just in the arm that was holding the gun.
[Victor]
Hum... he could be overreacting...
(Just then, Johnathan sees Jack making a little smirk on his face.)
[Johnathan]
Get back! He's faking it!
Before anyone had a chance to move, Jack pulls out another small gun and fires it at one of the Wolfs three times. The Wolf to the right then fires back at Jack. Once the firing was over, only two men where down. One half dead, and three still fully alive. Victor then sits next to his down man.
[Victor]
Are you ok?
[The First Wolf Gard]
Yeah. *cough* *cough* I'll be fine once I get the to hospital.
[Victor]
Ah... good. Looks like you got shot twice in your arm and once in your lower chest. You should be ok if we get you there in time, didn't hit you in your heart or anything.
(Jack then says a wheezing few words to Victor.)
[Jack]
Yeeou... How did you know it was me...?
[Victor]
Evidence, years of hard evidence, Jack.
(Jack then slowly begins to close his eyes.)
-
Meanwhile, Ludwig, Abel, and Murray had walked nine blocks north, and was coming closer to 7th Street.
[Abel]
Why don't we ever just take a taxi?
[Murray]
Because the Boss does not want us using public transpiration a like taxis. We can take der buses, but I don't favor them.
[Abel]
Ah, I see. Well, Ludwig, didn't you say you have a car in the shop?
[Ludwig]
Ja, but it ist still nicht going to be ready for weeks. Ich just really need a new one.
[Abel]
What year is it?
[Ludwig]
A 1911 Aurora.
[Abel[
I see... Say, are we there yet?
[Murray]
Just a little further. See that warehouse over-head, that's it.
(The warehouse stands as a large three story glass paned black building with several rusted cars and trucks in it's gates.)
[Abel]
Ech! We have to go in that place!
[Murray]
Nothing new to us, YOU just have to get used to get.
Ludwig walks in front of Abel and Murray and slowly approaches the side entrance of the warehouse. Abel and Murray then follows closely behind. Once they had walk pass the gate, Ludwig and Murray walk normally over to the side door. Murray then looks back at Abel standing still by the gate entrance.
[Murray]
Come on!
(Abel then walks nervously up to Ludwig and Murray. Ludwig then roughly bangs on the door.)
[Ludwig]
All right Mourne! We won't our money and we won't it now!
[Mourne] *Talking behind the door*
I told ya, I don't have it!
[Ludwig]
Look, either you pay up, our we'll have to use force! Starting with breaking your fingers!
[Mourne]
Look, I don't have it! You'll get your money, just wait until tonight!
[Ludwig]
Murray, break der door down.
[Murray]
Right.
[Mourne]
No, don't do!
Murray takes a few steps back, charges at the door, and bursts it open. He goes after the white medium size male Goat (named Mourne), who is trying to get away through the back door. Once Murray got close enough, he then pulls his shirt and holds him by the waist. Ludwig then slowly walks up to them.
[Ludwig] *Cracking his fingers*
Ok... Mourne... Where do we start.
[Mourne] *Talking fast and nervously*
I'll get it, just wait! I'll have your money! Just give me a little more time!
[Ludwig]
NO! You've had time! Now where ist our money!
[Mourne]
I don't have it!
[Ludwig]
You see these claws... there enough to tare though your fur und skin... till you die slowly und painfully... DO YOU WANT THAT MOURNE!!!
[Mourne]
No!
[Ludwig]
Well, then, tell us where der money ist!
[Mourne] *Panics*
Ok pal, ah... the, moneys over there, by the car.
[Ludwig]
Ah! Keep an eye on him for me Murray.
(Ludwig then walks over to the mid size black car.)
[Ludwig]
Ok, where ist it over here?
[Mourne]
In the hubcap, on the front right wheel.
Ludwig spots a crowbar on the floor. He picks it up and starts to pry the cap off. The cap then flys over to the other side of the room and lands next to the main entrance of the warehouse. Stacks of dollar bills then fall out of where the cap once was.
[Ludwig]
Well, well... So you didn't have it huh?
[Mourne]
Look, it wasn't my idea, it was the boys I tell ya!
(Ludwig then picks up the money and slowly walks over to Mourne.)
[Mourne]
It wasn't my idea!
(Ludwig then talks out his gun and whacks Mourne in the face with it. Mourne then falls to the ground.)
[Ludwig]
That oda teach ya nicht to play around with us.
[Abel] *Walks over to Ludwig*
What do we do with him?
[Ludwig]
Nothing, we just leave der gut for nothing there until his so-called friends get back.
[Abel]
What then?
[Ludwig]
Oh, we'll be gone by then. Doesn't matter, we got what we came for.
[Murray]
Yeah, and when we get back, we'll tell the Boss you helped us out.
[Abel]
Really?
[Murray]
Sure.
[Abel]
Great! Thanks! Then I don't have to do anything.
[Ludwig]
You mean nicht yet you don't.
[Abel]
Oh yeah, forgot. But is he going to be ok?
[Ludwig]
Ich don't care, but Ich think he will. Never mind him, he's just a bum. Let's get back to der joint und cash this dough.
Ludwig, Abel, and Murray then walk out the warehouse the same why they had came in. Once outside the gates, they take the same long route down 7th Street back to their building.
-
Back at Thorne's hidout, he is still in his office, sorting out his payment money on his desk. His black phone then rings. He drops his money on his desk and answers the phone.
[Thorne]
What!?
[A Voice]
Ah, ah, um... Boss. This is Leo.
[Thorne]
What do ya want?
[Leo]
Ah... Jacky got busted by the copes just a while ago.
[Thorne]
What! How could this have happened again?
[Leo]
Well, ah. I don't know. Maybe he...
[Thorne]
Enough! I have another, more reliable way of finding out for myself.
[Thorne] *Hangs up the phone*
Drat! Now I'm going to have to find another to take his place! Hum... I wonder...
Thorne then picks up some of the falling money off the floor, and continues to work on sorting it out.
Within twenty-eight minutes, Ludwig, Abel, and Murray came up to Thorne's front office door. Ludwig then knocks.
[Thorne]
Whose there!?
[Ludwig]
It's me, Ludwig! Along with Abel, Murray, and the money!
[Thorne]
Ahh, come in then!
Ludwig slowly opens the door and walks in, followed by Abel and Murray. They walk confidently over to Thorne's desk. Ludwig then reaches inside his pocket and pulls out the money and places it on Thorne's desk.
[Ludwig]
There you are, all five-hundred-thousand.
[Thorne] *Looks at the money and grins*
Great! Now we're set for next year boys! Good work!
[Ludwig]
Couldn't have done it without Able here right Murray?
[Murray]
Yeah, he slugged him one! Pow! Lights out!
[Thorne]
Ah, really! Well, I have something as a reward for you three see. It's big, na!
[Ludwig]
What?
[Murray]
Yeah, what Boss?
[Thorne]
Follow me.
Thorne then walks over to the front door of his office, Ludwig, Abel, and Murray then follow. He opens the doors and they walke out into the hallway. Walk down stairs to the first floor, make a "U" turn to the left, walk down another hallway until they reach a large gray iron door. Thorne opens the door and then walks in slowly. He then looks back at Ludwig, Abel, and Murray looking out the side of the door.
[Thorne]
Come on you three, this ist it!
[Ludwig]
Your nicht going to trick us are you?
[Murray]
Yeah, many have said that people go into this room but don't come out.
[Thorne]
Huh? Oh, that's just for those who plan mutiny. Now come on!
(They slowls walk inside the dark silenced room. Able then bumps into Thorne.
[Thorne]
Hay, watch it kid!
[Abel]
Sorry.
[Thorne]
Ok, hit the lights Duncan!
Then, at the sound of a flick of a switch, the lights come on. There, before their eyes, where two large black cars, (one with silver strips) lined up side by side on the garage's gray floor. Ludwig, Abel, and Murray's mouths then drop.
[Ludwig]
Are those for us?
[Thorne]
Yup.
[Ludwig] *Walks over to the black car on the right*
Ist this one mine?
[Thorne]
Yeah see, it's got your name on der plate.
[Ludwig] *Looks at der plate on the front of the car*
Ah, ja it does! Danke!
[Thorne]
No problem.
[Thorne] *Looks at Abel*
Hay Abel, this ones yours.
(Abel then slowly walks up to the black car with silver strips on the left.)
[Abel]
Thi, thi, this ones mine?
[Thorne]
Sure thing kid.
(He then walks up to his car, take off his right hand glove, and gently rubs the car's side finder.)
[Abel]
Wow... a 1926 Dover Deville...
[Thorne]
Your good kid.
[Ludwig]
Hum.... looks like Ich got a 1928 Aurora...! Ha ha!
[Murray]
Hay, where's my car?
[Thorne]
Oh, you don't have one.
[Murray]
What! I thought you said that you have a reward for all three of us?
[Thorne]
Yeah, but you have something different.
[Murray]
Yeah, like what?
[Thorne]
Like that motorcycle you see over there.
Murray then turns to his left and sees a long flat black motorcycle at the garage's main front door. He slowly walks over to it with his eyes wide open. He then stops and turns to look at Ludwig and Abel.
[Murray]
Ha! Look what I got!
[Ludwig]
Nice Murray! But can you handle it?
[Murray]
Sure I can! Watch me!
(He then slowly gets on the motorcycle. Thorne runs over to stop him.)
[Thorne]
If you start that and put just one, just one TOE on that excoriator!
[Murray]
Ok, ok I won't start it in here. Can we take them out for a test run?
[Thorne]
Maybe tomorrow, when yall go on lunch break. I'll have to see if it's not illegal to put things like you behind a machine like this.
[Murray]
Come on Boss, you can trust me.
[Thorne]
Yeah, when heck freezes over!
[Murray]
Heh heh *Mumbuls* Real funny...
[Abel]
But I can't drive, I don't have a license.
[Thorne] *Walks up to Abel and hands him a card*
Always leave it up to old Thorne to solve petty problems.
[Abel] *Looks at the card*
This, this is my driver's license? But, but how?
[Thorne]
False license, false ID. My specialty.
[Abel]
Think it will work?
[Thorne]
Hey, it came from the brains of the operation, it's guaranteed to work!
All right you three, yall can go home now. You've done your days work.
[Murray]
Can we take the cars?
[Thorne]
No! I said not until tomorrow.
[Murray]
Oh, all right.
Ludwig, Abel, and Murray then walk out of der garage the same way they came in. Once back in the main hallway, they stop by the front entrance doors to the building.
[Murray]
Ok, we have the entire day off! Where do we want to go?
[Ludwig]
Ich don't know about you two, but I'm going home. Ich spend my days off at home relaxing.
[Murray]
Darn! Ok Abel, looks like it's just you and me.
[Abel]
Ahhh, ok. Seeya Ludwig.
[Ludwig]
Ta ta.
Abel and Murray then turn, and walks to the right as Ludwig walks to the left.
-
As the day went by, Ludwig stayed at home while Abel and Murray had an adventure on the streets. They went to bars, clubs, joints, and entertainment areas all over the eastern side of town. Once the sun started to set, Murray decided to take Abel to one last place on 5th Street.
[Abel]
Why are we stopping here?
[Murray]
It's Boss's orders to have every member of the TC to look the part. So, we're going to get you some new cloths.
[Abel]
These cloths are high!
[Murray]
Whickens? Na... This is where we always go to get cloths for the gang. You got to remember Abel, being in the TC you really don't have a problem with money.
[Abel]
Ah.
Abel and Murray then opens the front doors to the clothing store, and walks in. Once inside, Murray is greeted by a yellow, black spotted male Jaguar.
[The Jaguar]
Back again I see.
[Murray]
Yeah JAM, got some new employees.
[JAM]
Ah, you must have some busy job!
[Murray]
Yeah, you could say that. Here's our newest, Abel. He needs new cloths that fit juuuust right.
[JAM]
Give him the usual?
[Murray]
Yeah, ahh Abel. What's your favorite color?
[Abel]
Blue.
[Murray]
Hey, so is Ludwig's. Make it blue then JAM.
[JAM]
Got cha. Come with me Abel.
Abel then walks over to JAM as he holds open a medium size orange door. Abel then walks in followed by JAM. The door then closes.
Within a few minutes, the door slowly opens. JAM then walks out.
[JAM]
Ok Abel, come on out and let's have a look at ya!
Abel then walks out the door wearing a white shirt, blue and black striped tie, a shiny blue pinstripe double-breasted suit, blue pinstripe pants, and a blue, black banded hat.
[Murray]
Looks good on ya! Heh heh!
[Abel]
Thanks, I've always wanted one of these.
[JAM]
Blue goes very well with you!
[Murray]
Indeed.
[JAM]
Ok... that will be $54.62.
(Murray then takes out some money from his jacket and hands it to JAM.)
[JAM]
Nice doin business with ya.
[Abel]
You bet, thanks!
Abel (holding the cloths he had on before in his arms) and Murray then walk out of the store.
[Murray] *Shack Abel's hand*
Well, seeya Abel. I'm going home.
[Abel]
All right, thanks for the suit!
[Murray]
No problem.
They then both go their sperate ways home as night fell over Vancin.
