#12 - “City Slickers” Rivalry Part IV
"Excuse me," Reggie spat, dragging Devon off into a corner.
"This isn't the time to lecture me, bro," Devon hissed as soon as they were out of Bush43's earshot.
"Oh, it's not? I let you back into my life for one day and already you're screwing up my shot at escaping the hell my life has become. You know the streets, man. You know the heat the Yakuza can bring. Why in God's name would you carry that shit around unless you had a death wish?"
"Because it's powerful stuff man. It's leverage."
"Leverage for what?" Reggie screamed. "You to move up the ranks in the Lorrington underworld? I've got to tell you something, Devon..."
"Um...guys," Bush43 interrupted, stopping Reggie from giving Devon a serious reality check.
"What?" Reggie and Devon spat simultaneously.
"If you guys want to have a screaming match later, that's all fine, well, and good, but right now, all this does is help my argument. Reggie, there is no way you can go unnoticed without ditching your friend here, and if the Yakuza are on your tail, you and your families are going to need protection anyway."
"So what are you suggesting?" Reggie asked.
"Well, I'd have to talk to Romanov, but...."
Bush looked at Isiah who blinked for a second and nodded.
"Yeah," was all Isiah said.
"What the hell?" Reggie demanded, growing impatient.
"Reggie Evans," Bush43 declared in his most booming and resonant voice. "How would you like to become a member of the New Mages?"
