Annie walked confidently along the decaying South East Gotham street, inside her red coat and under her mask she felt powerful and untouchable. She walked past grey walls scrawled with red paint
WELCOME TO HELL
PRAY YOU LEAVE ALIVE
YOU'RE DOOMED
The rotten oasis was a small decaying building covered in graffiti and stained with vomit and blood, a single neon sign in the shape of a palm tree buzzed above the creaking door Classy She thought sidestepping an unconcious drunk.
Inside the air was thick with cigarette smoke and cheap perfume. Annie peered through the mist at the dregs of Gotham's underbelly "Hey Baby" A man in his late thirtes lurched towards her, he stank of cheap beer and vomit "Le's go somewhere . . ." He belched, Annie wrinkled her nose in disgust " . . . more private" Annie smiled and whispered dangerously "I'd rather stick knives in my eyes" His bloodshot eyes widened with panic when he felt the black handled blade against his throat "Leave me alone" He nodded and staggered away from her as fast as his beer sodden wits could carry him.
Anna giggled Woah careful, you sounded like her just then She thought to herself Now where are they?

Through the fog spotted The Nine of Clubs in a shadowy corner glaring darkly into an empty glass "Pleasent evening?" She asked, sitting beside him, he grunted "Is anything pleasent in this hellhole?"
"As cheery as ever" A new voice stated, Annie glared at her sister, who grinned "You make such a cute couple"
"Matchmaking is not on the agenda Ace" Aceie smiled and turned to King, who had just arrived, and pouted
"Who died and made you Mayor?" He grinned slyly and placed his hand on her shoulder
"If all goes to plan, the Mayor"
Annie stared at him "The plan is to KILL THE MAYOR!" He nodded, and put his finger to his lips "Not so loud Diamond, we don't want anyone stealing our idea"
"But it's" A laugh pierced the air, it was Aceie, she was sitting at the table now and balancing her chair on two legs "Were you going to say it's wrong Little Diamond?" She knocked back a glass of red wine "What's wrong isn't the question, the question is what is right"
"It's always been wrong to kill people" King watched the pair with a smile on his face, his eyes flickered with some unknown, unspoken secret
"You've just been brainwashed to think that, in the real world, Little Diamond, survival is all that matters"
"And your pyschopath father knew all about that" Annie retorted, Aceie snapped back
"Don't you dare say a word against him, or he wont be the only member of this family six feet under"
King stepped calmly between them "Ladies, this is not the time or the place, we need to plan my election campaign" Aceie sniffed
"Why your election campaign?"
King looked at each of them in turn, then smiled and said "Well, Clubs is too young, Diamond is a police detective and you, my dear" He gestured at her scar "Are noticable" Annie tipped her head to one side, folded her arms and smiled
"Was that a compliment?"
He smiled back and winked "Take it as you will"
