Into the Lair of the Kingpin

[Dracos]

"'bout a week ago.  Father Sergio would be the one to ask about the specifics."

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Where is he at the moment?" Leets asked, trying to look through the crowd again.

[Dracos]

"Now probably wouldn't be the best time.  He's leading the service."

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Yeah, it's probably best if we don't bother him right now," Leets said quietly, watching the proceedings respectfully.

[Dracos]

The funeral ended touchingly, the family heading off for the most part.  Leets and Jan were able to follow and gain admittance into honored grandfather's presence, the same study they'd talked with him in the first time.  By now it was pretty obvious he preferred to handle much of his business here.

The old man looked older than usual today, though, given he just buried one of his 'family' that's not too surprising.

He leaned back in his chair, looking over the two of them.  "Two visits in a day, Leets?"

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"It's been a strange day," Leets said in respect for the departed, "Had no idea just how wrong things were until we got here."

"Sorry for the inopportuned timing, but we were hoping you might have some information. Like why all the gangs seem to be acting up now, and what happened to make this family a target."

[Dracos]

"We're not a target.  But... mmm.  I guess you can know."

The old man tapped his fingers.  "What do you two know about the Ronspecio family?  Anything?"

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Just that they're one of the major drug lords in this town."

[Dracos]

The man nodded, leaning forward.

"That's right.  And recently there's been something new they've got on the street.  Don't know where they're producing it, but they moved in a large shipment a couple of nights ago.  Got folks nervous, particularly the smaller gangs."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"And the Kingpin grew nervous over it? I've heard he's gotten involved in this fracas at this point."

[Dracos]

"Mmm, where'd you hear that?" He asked a bit tiredly.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Really now... the word on the street was that the Targo family was moving something tonight. Do you suppose it's related?"

[Olvelsper]

"News travels fast in Reno. I'm assuming that all this chaos drug the Kingpin in, and because of that your family was drawn in as well?"

[Dracos]

"Targo.  I doubt that.  Anyhow the kingpin likes his peace.  He recently sent a notice of his extreme displeasure in the rise in ambient noise and encouraged us to keep it down.  He's not moving yet, beyond the obvious promise that entailed."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Huh. Pretty open and shut case, I'd assume."
