Lexington, Kentucky
Xavier walked up the stairs of the unfinished building donning just his white plaid dress shirt and black dress pants. As he walked up the stairs, he passed many of the construction men, drilling nails into the walls to finish them. The bottom 14 floors were completely finished and habitable, but the ones with finished walls went up to the 34th floor. The 34th floor didn't have a roof yet, and the other 20 floors below its wall was just straight wood, but the 15th floor was the most polished out of the 20. As Xavier walked by, he heard a lot of conversations between them. He mainly heard one between Jakey Ong and another one named Gale Peter.
"Y'know, I used to flip burger patties in Quartierville and now I'm apart of a criminal organization, what the fuck happened to my life?" Jakey asked jokingly.
"I used to work in Okraville, Ohio, but it's quite trashy. I moved down to Lexington back in May of last year." Gale explained.
"Where'd ya work back in Okraville?"
"Some banks."
"Ya ever get robbed?"
"No, I drove trucks... that never got robbed, surprisingly; considering how much poverty Okravilla was in."
"That is pretty surprising."
As Xavier overheard this conversation through the wood wall, he walked past Tyler. Tyler was tied up in a chair and gagged. He was sleeping. He then walked into a room to see Bloomington looking at his laptop again.
"What is it today, Bloomington?" Xavier asked.
"I'm looking for this woman that's been on the news." Bloomington answered.
"Who? You need me to kill them?"
"You haven't seen the video?"
"No."
"Oh, well here it is."
Bloomington tabbed out of the window he was on and showed the video. The video was in green, and it displayed a woman getting harassed in a parking garage by 5 men. As one of the men got closer, the woman sliced the man's wrist, as she started to take care of the other 4 men. The video ended.
"Want me to kill her?" Xavier asked
"No, actually. I'm actually looking to recruit her, I'll do it." Bloomington answered.
"You're sure you don't want me with you?"
"Yeah, I got it."
"Do you have a location?"
"I think she lives in a condo."
"The city center one?"
"Probably, considering that's one of the only condos."
"What is this building supposed to be?"
"I don't know, probably an office."
"Yeah, I guess that would make sense"
"Alright, I guess I'll get to it, but she might have a job, so I'll probably have to wait around for a bit."
