Jinx changed quickly and went to look for Roy. She found him in a private room reclining on a couch while smoking a pipe. His overcoat and fedora had been set aside neatly on a table off to the side, revealing him to be dressed all in black. He was wearing a long sleeve turtleneck and leather riding boots with a gun holster on each hip.
Jinx sat down next to him. "Thank you for helping out back there." She said.
"You are welcome." Roy said while smoking. "Shall we talk of our little arrangement?"
Jinx nodded, already thinking of how to use this new partnership to further her ambitions. "Why do you want me for?" She asked
"You want revenge on Piltover." Roy answered. "I want them crippled."
"Why can't you have some of your men do it?" Jinx asked.
"The man back there, Finn. The others are just like him." Roy responded. "My father does not want them to gain any more power than they have."
Jinx tilted her head to the side. "Your father?" She asked confused.
"Ahhh I did not tell you." Roy realized. "My father is Silco, the ruler of Zaun."
"Your father is the ruler?" Jinx asked shocked.
Roy nodded. "He leads the Chem-barons."
Jinx leaned forward excitedly. "That means you would have access to everything"
Roy nodded. "I can give you whatever your dark heart desires if you agree to some conditions."
Jinx's mind was already churning with ideas on how to build bigger bombs. "What conditions?" she asked.
"One, you have to work for me." Roy started.
"What would that entail?" Jinx asked curiously. "I already work here."
"It will not interfere with your work here." Roy replied. "It will require you to build a few different things from time to time, mostly weapons."
"Deal." Jinx eagerly responded.
Roy stood up and put on his coat and fedora. "When you are off of your shift, come to the last drop. I will be waiting." He said as he left.
Jinx put her mask back on and stepped out of the private room, returning to work.
After the end of their shift, Mira walked next to Jinx as they went to change out of the costumes.
"What happened back there?" She questioned the blue haired girl.
Jinx cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean?" She asked innocently as the two changed out of their costumes
"You know what I mean." Mira replied. "You look uncomfortable as Hell dealing with Finn but you willingly went into a private room to entertain Silco's son."
"Who is Silco?" Jinx asked, feigning innocence.
Mira sighed and turned to Jinx. "Silco rules this place." She grabbed Jinx's shoulders and looked in her eyes. "Promise me you will be careful. Finn may be annoying and Silco may be powerful, but Silco's son is dangerous. He is the type of person to torture and kill for the Hell of it."
Jinx finished changing and slipped her earnings into her pocket. "Don't worry, I'll make sure not to cause trouble for the Brothel." She then slipped out before Mira could answer, walking down the street to begin her revenge.

Caitlyn looked from Vi to Ekko as the two argued with each other about the best way to proceed.
"Umm guys....GUYS who is Silco?" she finally yells.
Vi and Ekko suddenly remember her and turn to face her.
"Silco is the man that runs this place." Ekko replied.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Caitlyn naively asked.
"Not when he's a drug lord." Vi responded. "He has killed a lot of people and hurt even more. Now it seems Powder is in his clutches."
"Jinx," Caitlyn corrects.
"It doesn't matter what we call her." Ekko finally steps in. "The important thing is getting her away from Silco."
"Fine." Vi growled while rolling her eyes.
"How do we find her?" Caitlyn asked.
"We need to start looking." Ekko replied.
"Why not ask around?" Caitlyn asked innocently.
Ekko shakes his head. "Most people are too afraid of Silco to say anything."
"There is one place where secrets are always spilled." Vi speaks up while giving Ekko a knowing look.
"I am not going there." Ekko persists.
Vi grabs Caitlyn's arm. "Then we will make it a girls' trip.
"Fine" Ekko replies with a sigh. "But be careful."
"We will." Vi calls back as she drags Caitlyn with her.
"Go where?" Caitlyn asks as she is lead away
Vi turns back to her and smirks. "The Red Light District."
