Jackie just got done exploring Gotham a little bit more after he got back from his hotel room. He had four shadows behind him. He wore a long black coat that trailed against the ground, a gun tucked in the waistband. His face was covered with a thick wool scarf that shielded him from the cold night air of Gotham City. His four subordinates remained in the shadows, silent but watchful.
Jackie cleared his throat and stepped forward. He surveyed the four men before him. Joe was tall with broad shoulders, his beard already showing a hint of grey. Nick was shorter and wiry, his face scrunched up in concentration. Carlos was slim with haunted eyes, and Chad was the youngest of the four, his large eyes wide with excitement.
Jackie unzipped his coat and slowly pulled out a gun. He held it up to the light and examined it for a moment.
"Alright," he said in a deep tone. "This is it, boys. We're going to the Falcone Family's compound to collect a shit ton of money in exchange for three bottles of a drug that's called miracle. This is the most important mission of your lives."
The four men nodded and shifted their feet.
"We're going to be armed and ready for anything," continued Jackie. "I want you to keep your knives on you and your guns visible. We must remember that even though we made a deal he can still change his mind so be ready".
He paused and looked directly at each of his men happy that he made the choice to bring them into the family.
Jackie and the four men then started heading towards the Falcone family's compound in a all black SUV. They eventually reached the compound and was allowed inside. Jackie then headed towards the room where he met with Vincent before. And was pleased to see that he was there.
Jackie took one step forward and placed the three small bottles onto the desk. He looked Vincent in the eye without flinching as he spoke.
"These are for you."
Vincent picked up one of the bottles and inspected it. The green liquid inside sparkled and shimmered like liquid emeralds. He unscrewed the lid and took a whiff, There was almost a sweet almond scent filling his nose.
"I'm impressed," he said. "Where did you get it?"
"That's not important," Jackie said. "What's important is that I know you can get a good deal for it."
Vincent nodded. He put the bottle down and adjusted the cigar in his mouth.
"I can," he said. "I can get you hundred and twenty-five thousand for each bottle. That's a good enough deal, Considering that I don't know if it has any side effects or not."
Jackie nodded and Vincent continued, "But there's something else I need to know. I hear you've been looking for more people to hire into your family".
Jackie paused. He hadn't expected Vincent to bring up that he was looking for more members. He had no idea how to answer.
"Yes," he finally said. "Considering the product that I have and how important it is and how valuable it is I thought it was about time that I have some more people with me just in case".
Vincent shook his head and sighed.
"I just hope that once you have enough Manpower you won't forget who your friends are" . Vincent said to Jackie with a very serious face.
He then opened a desk drawer and pulled out a metal case. He counted out the bills and put it all in the case.
"Three hundred and seventy-five thousand," he said. "That should cover it."
Jackie nodded and took the case from off the desk.
"Thank you," he said, He nodded to his crew and they left the room.
Outside, Jackie paused for a moment to take in the night air. He knew he had made the right decision. With the money from the sale of Miracle, he'd be able to make more moves and get closer to his goal. He smiled as he thought of the future – a future he was sure to make happen. Jackie then started to head towards the Iceberg Lounge wondering if he could find any of the girls there.
Jackie walked into the Iceberg Lounge, with four of his subordinates following closely behind him. His face was hard and his eyes glinted with an intensity that could make anyone quiver. He glanced around the room with disdain, before approaching the bar and leaning against it. His subordinates stood beside him, ready to report any potential recruits they had found in the slums.
Jackie looked at them with his face bored as hell. "You four, have you found any recruits yet?"
One of the subordinates stepped forward, handing Jackie a piece of paper with several names scribbled on it. "We have, sir. They're all from the slums and most of them would do anything to get money."
Jackie nodded. He took the paper and scanned it quickly before handing it back. "Give them each two thousand," he said. "Tell them that if they join our family, they will get more."
The four subordinates looked at each other nervously before taking out their wallets and counting out the cash into five piles. "What the hell are you guys doing you don't have to give then your money". Jackie said to the men while giving them 20K.
Just use this instead and make sure you hire some good people with it, Jackie said back to the four idiots. "Yes boss" The four men said then they headed out, each to a different part of the slums, to spread the money around and recruit potential members.
Jackie watched them go with a satisfied smirk on his face. He knew that this was the beginning of a new empire, one that he would soon control. With the right amount of power, loyalty, and money, he could conquer whatever world he desired.
Jackie was sure that his plan would succeed. He had come this far and he wasn't going to stop now.
Jackie couldn't help but smirk It had been just 24 hours since he had been here with a trio of the most attractive women he had ever laid eyes on. Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Selene Kyle had dominated the night, luring him to their side with seduction, intoxication, and temptation. Another night of revelry had followed, and before he knew it, the night had come to an end with him in bed with Harley Quinn.
He took a seat at the bar and signaled the bartender for a drink. As he waited, his mind drifted back to the night before. He remembered the daring looks they exchanged as they enjoyed each other's company, the thrill of the unknown that emanated from the four of them, and the way Harley had smiled when she had said his name. He smiled dreamily and took a sip of his drink.
He remembered the sweetness of Harley's lips when they had kissed, the way they had explored each other's bodies, and the way she had begged him to make love to her. His entire body had been on fire, and he had been completely lost in the moment. All of a sudden Jackie Heard a Voice he's all too familiar with.
"Jackie I'm glad you're here I was actually kind of missing you". Ivy said with a lustful look on her face from behind Jackie....
