Murdock is walking to an alleyway to meet Reggie, Murdock stayed on the cautious side to make sure he wasn't followed. Word of the Gem going missing spread like wild fire and now every Cop & Collector in the city looking for the rumored Mystic Gem. He entered the alley and sees Reggie who is a short human rat wearing a large orange overcoat & his tail just visible.
Reggie walks over and says "Murdock! Looking good!! You've been working out?" Reggie wraps his arm around Murdock, he pushes Reggie off and says "Cut the shit Reggie you got any info or is this just another one of those 'Save me Murdock' scenarios? Because if it is I'm gonna break you're arms like last time." Reggie laughs nervously and says "I can't say for sure my usual contacts are being as vague as ever but they gave the gem to some big time enforcer for a field day." Reggie tells Murdock what he knew about the gem and the gang who has it
The Goliath came in laughing and said "A round of booze for me and the booze and keep them coming!" He yells wearing a leather vest, t-shirt & pants with the boots reaching his knees, as the man stood at least 7' tall his skin a dark green and had a black Mohawk, he had large tusks coming from his mouth as he sits down and the barkeep treated them to their beer. After a dozen rounds later he stands in a dizzy state and starts to leave the bar, when some of the other customers stood up and blocked the small group of gang members & their ring leaders path.
They all fought and it eventually left just a few of the bigger (and more muscular) barflies against David. David growled and pulled out an ugly black gem with an ominous purple glow, David held it into the air and suddenly a black cloud engulfed the entire insides of the bar and once it cleared everyone was shriveled up like a raisin: the gang members, the barflies & the Bartender. The only one that survived was David, who had glowing purple veins easily exceeded 8feet in height and had a ton more muscle added to his body.
