Part 34: Born Slippy

Milo had basically become some sort of omniscient presence, able to see everyone and everything that was going on. What Enzo and Gloria said about Milo not thinking ahead must had really struck a nerve because ever since that point and a little before than as well, Milo has done more to plan for the future than ever before. The fact he decided to keep the stolen drug drops in the first place was a stroke of pure genius but then splitting the product and storing some away just in case an end of world level threat occurred and someone still had something to offer, now that was some next level clairvoyant crap. At least this is what everyone else was thinking when they were in that secret basement going through all the boxes. At first it was just the drug drops but they quickly realised some of the boxes were filled with product they'd either made too much of or hadn't been sold. Most of them assumed that product was just destroyed to get rid of evidence but apparently not, it was all here.

The first thing the others did after going through everything was collect the remaining gang members that were scattered across town either laying low with their families or in actual hiding. It was more difficult to find the latter ones. Surprisingly most of them still trusted Milo and his friends, believing that they were true leaders because they hadn't abandoned them in these hard times. They knew it had been a hard month for the gang members that had survived. Funerals for the ones that sadly died, caring for the ones that were injured in the raid, all whilst being questioned by agent Waldron because they had connections with said victims. There were some that were also taken to prison with Milo but at a different time and they weren't as important as him so therefore weren't put in the same pod as him. This meant they basically weren't a part of the operation anymore unless it was an extremely low part in that specific area of the prison. Obviously there was a small group of gang members that didn't know whether to follow Milo anymore because everything had started going to shit when he became boss. However, they were quickly persuaded when the others told them about the supply of product and the money they could make from it. Most of the gang members had been earning more from selling than they would have from any normal job, meaning they'd most likely prefer to do that again rather than lose all that potential cash. The second thing Milo's friends did should be obvious. They got the operation up and running again. It had never truly died, more like went into hibernation. However, now that they had what Milo had pretty much handed to them, everything could start running smoothly again. Some things had to be rearranged because there weren't as many people to do jobs and everyone knew it was extremely risky to return to the canning factory as a hideout but since those things were their only options, they'd have to do for now. When things were more organised, they could think about moving things to a safer location. For right now though Ani, Cassie and Danny looked upon what they had done and smiled, mentally patting themselves on the back and hoping that Milo would be proud of them.

Milo had just been on the phone with Ani, being informed about how everything was going with the operation. They spoke in code obviously because the phone calls were monitored and Milo's were especially listened to. It took a little bit of getting used to but eventually they both understood what the other was saying. After ending the call, Milo was on his way to tell Diego everything was going better than he ever could have planned. At first he didn't know where Diego was but someone quickly informed him when he asked. Milo quickly ran to his room and grabbed his towel, making his way downstairs and towards the guard's booth. He said hey to the guard as he passed, being particularly friendly with that one because he'd arranged some people to help bloke of his street for his young daughter's birthday party. It was the simple things really. Behind the booth was where the showers and toilets were, Milo walking straight past the toilets and instead arriving at the showers. There was specific times inmates were allowed to shower, each group being taken one at a time until everyone had cleaned themselves. It wasn't Milo's group's turn just yet but that wasn't going to be a problem.
