*Billy took Taisho to an upstairs room in his old shop...It appeared to be a storage area of sorts, with a wide assortment of goods scattered about. Inside, Billy went over to a small shelf, from which he retrieved an ornate lacquered black box...they said very little to each other as Billy presented Taisho the item...*
"...I never believed that you'd have to come back for this...three years...I hoped that you'd have been able to do the one thing your father could not..." Billy's tone was one of disapproval...
"Believe me old friend..neither did I...but I must finish what was started...one of us will make the first move...and if isn't he doesn't...I will" Taisho refuted still deadpan in tone...*He takes the box from Billy, places it on a nearby table and takes his angel pendant out. With that in hand- he pressed down on the wings- causing a small key to slide out from the bottom. He took the 'angel key' and proceeded to open the box*
"Sho'...your father must've turned in his grave by now..." Billy muttered as Taisho turned the key

*Will continues to fidget in his chair uncomfortably... Deciding that a coke is not so interesting, he checks out the poeple in the bar.*
*A group of normal people in one booth. Idiots.
Adam was there. Perhaps he has a job? I need to do something soon... I need money. Or guns. either will do.
Whats-her-name, that stupid girl with that car place...
Hey, its that guy with the gang... Matt, was it? He was allright. Not much for plans but hes got a lot of guys at his back.
Some more 'normal' people. yuck.*
*On a second thought, the coke is more interesting then he thought...*

*Adam's customer stands up and walks out after the deal is settled. He continues to sit, thinking over the many deals and jobs he has active now*
Thats 7 Kalasnikovs out today. . .business had been dipping a bit, thats odd. Perhaps I could send Jones out to find somemore buyers.. .
*Adam sat, chewing his meal slowly, using the small amount of free time to plan. One of the gang leaders of south Willsville was getting a bit too cocky. Some missing people down that way too. If the two were connected, he had to be taken out. The police only took his money and looked the other way if things were kept calm. The mission a few months ago had costed him a significant amount of extra cash into the Police Bureau. Tass looked over and saw Will figiting at the bar*
Maybe Will needs a job? But I'll be damned if I start the conversation with him. Great guy to have on your side, but a tad unfriendly. . .

((oh-sorry about this, but for those of you who hadn’t realized- the events that are taking place in my posts now are running at the same time as all of yours- my very first post was the exception- it took place an hour before the gathering in the Bullet))
*It seemed like forever before Taisho opened the box...inside...were two guns: an ornate revolver and a sawed off double-barrel shotgun. He took the two, kissed the both of them and placed each one in a separate hidden holster hidden within his blazer. The guns were already loaded- and he needn’t worry about extra- his blazer held two belts of matching ammo for each. Thus, his keepsake weapons now with him once more, he looked back at old Billy and nodded to him before he began to head out*
“Hey there idiot...not gonna say nothin’ to yer’ dear ol’ uncle Billy?” he grunted as Taisho made his way out...stopping him in his tracks.
“There was nothing left to say...” *he said as he turned and nodded once more and went downstairs*
“Yer’ ol’ man never told ya’ bout’ the other use of the key...did he?” Billy retorted...
*This time around...Taisho...and stopped entirely*
“Come with me, your father left you one thing that I didn’t tell you about...something you had to be ready for...” *Billy took Taisho to a different room connecting alleyway out back...where a strange shape lay in a beat up shop underneath dusty covers* “That key...is also for this...” *Taisho’s eyes lit up as Billy removed the cover...revealing a fully restored and gleaming black 1939 Brough Superior*
“She may seem old...but using some connections...I fixed er’ up so she’ll run with the best of em’...Now I know you ain’t one for thanks and whatnot- but just do me a favor- and try not to die...again...” said Billy with a sense of pride and sarcasm, “oh- and before you head out, yer’ new around these parts...if it’s info yer’ lookin’ for- yer’ best bet’s a place down south of here. It’s called The Bullet ...I ain’t no regular- but all sorts of crap goes ‘round there...you can’t miss it”
*All that said and done...Taisho gave no response other than a slight smile and a nod...then rode off into town*
seeing Taisho ride away...Billy muttered “Seto...i’m getting too old for this...but...i’ll watch him for you...rest easy, Brother”
thanks Billy...Father...Sister... I can only hope that you’ll forgive me for what i’m about to become...

*[glow=black,2,300]matt drinks his soda and looks around the bar, he sees a few familiar faces but no one real important. he leaves money for the soda and a tip near his empty glass and heads out. he gets in his truck and drives away calmly. he heads over to his warehouse to change cars and go out cruising later on. [/glow]

*Taisho rode through town, and taking his wayward uncle’s advice- makes way to The Bullet...although he didn’t really know what to look for...Taisho kinda figured that a hub for criminal secrecy shouldn’t be too hard to separate from the surroundings. Of course, being new in town didn’t help much either...But that didn’t keep him from feeling the wind and enjoying the ride. But, fun or not...he was still on a mission...so as he looked for The Bullet, he took in the sights- keeping a mental picture of places that he may wind up returning to...possible gang hideouts and the such. The one’s he really took interest in were the multiple warehouses and office buildings...*
This place, this city...something about it...
*Just at that moment, he came up to a place that looked strangely popular...there was a motorcycle out front which wasn’t exactly parked... and a number of nice cars. Following his instincts...and against most sense...he parked his bike and sighed before making his way for the door.*

*[glow=black,2,300]matt arrives at his warehouse and parks his truck inside, he gets out and looks around at his huge collection of vehicles, he had everything from cop cars to army helicopters. he decided to take out one of his marked police cars. maybe he'd drive around ad flash the lights to scare people, or maybe race. cause this thing was fast. he started it up and headed back out.[/glow]*

*With the stride of an urban cowboy, Taisho stepped into the bar...and bhind the cover of his sunglasses made a quick scan of the place. He liked it, seemed strangely quaint- the bar itself was a place he knew he’d find himself in constantly while he’s here. Then there were the people...he wasn’t too sure what to make of them...so not waste any time, he went and pulled up a seat- slightly distancing himself from the crowd*
...yep...this has got to be the place Billy was talkin’ about...no doubt about it

*as the newcomer enters the bar, nothing really changes. he gets a couple glances from the regulars though. he takes his seat a distance from the crowd, Katt notices*
'Howdy, what can i get ya?'

*Taisho removed his shades and parted some of his bangs before turning toward the bartender*
“Howdy...nice place ya’ got here by the way-... guess i’ll have a...non-alcoholic sangria, on the rocks if you may. Thanks”- he went nonchalantly
She doesn’t seem bad...I like this place though...wonder why old’ Billy never became a regular...he would’ve fit right in. Ah well- as for information...I won’t say nothin’...just yet anyway...although, if Billy’s info was right- she could probably tell

*Jesssie continued to munch on her burger while some new dude entered the Bullet. She didn't know him, so she turned back to the more interesting slab of beef on bread in front of her.*

*Hearing the sirens, Will instinctivly draws two outwardly uzi-like weapons (STMPs), and stands up, knocking a chair over. Some people cower, and even some of the regulars at least flinch.*
*People can hear someone getting out of the car outside. Then they hear the footsteps coming. Tense is the only word...*
*Then matt opens the door. Will raises an eyebrow.*
