It had been a month or so since anything particularly exciting happened and that was when Jacket and Sokol got into a fight over some personal stuff which led to a fire in the hockey area which had to get fixed. Bain had gone quiet after several bad jobs which burned a hole in everyone's pocket. Most of the gang had gone to their own apartments and/or slums apart from Dallas, Sangres, Chains and Clover with Aldstone to keep company and make half-awkward conversation every so often. Dallas was looking into his own jobs as nothing was coming up. He mugged a gas station in a ski mask but the clerk ended up dead and there wasn't even $1000 dollars in the whole store so that was bust. Cleaners are expensive.
Chains and Sangres kept to themselves, not knowing what to do with themselves. Sangres had been buying more alcohol than he could afford and Chains was an all out recluse, occasionally greeting one of the few members that held on for dear life, praying something would hopefully come through but nothing. It was rather depressing.
Clover was barely in and she usually hung out in the shooting range out of boredom. It was desperate.
Dallas only kept in touch with Hox who was considering to try his luck back in London as there were more opportunities there than in Washington DC. It was picked clean. The local economy was ghastly and people were moving in fear of getting killed thanks to the rather itchy trigger-fingers of The Payday Gang and Wolfs habit of beating passerbys senseless.
The Dentist had gone quiet not sure how to approach The Payday Gang after it had fallen into disarray, Simmons was under investigation after info leaked that there was something big going on behind the scenes, Vlad was on vacation to Ukraine to visit relatives and eat borscht, Locke had cold feet after Murky began losing lots of money on The Payday Gang without much in return and The Butcher was ready to give up on the gang seeing how unorganized they were and how little they could stand on their own feet; she even pulled Dragan back to Croatia knowing he would be a lot more useful there than in DC.
They had to lay low till everything was back the way it was and the cops would finally run out of manpower which never seemed to happen. Dallas considered dragging everyone to Chicago or California or maybe New York but that would mean they would have to get new contacts and a new would have to be made specifically for New York. Even getting everyone there would be challenging as Jacket was back in Miami, Sokol went up north for the hockey scene, Dragan was in Croatia (obviously), Houston was off the rader which worried Dallas, Wolf could have been runway modeling or dealing arms to Iraq for all he knew, Sydney also went to Florida but only for the weather, Hoxton was living in Chicago ready to board the next plane to England, Bonnie apparently stayed with Clover when she was gone but as for her location nothing could be brought up, Bodhi went to California as did Jiro to find his son who was apparently living there. Jimmy had gone on a cocaine filled bender around Mexico so it was hopeless.
Or was it...
