( my favorite era in American history is the 1920's when prohibition—banning of alcohol— led to the mafia and gangsters running ramped to illegally smuggle alcohol plus the violence that came with it. Thus came this weird au type story where Brett is a mob leader running a speakeasy—illegal bar— and Eddy is an undercover cop trying to infiltrate it from the inside to take Brett and his operations down! They'll eventually get into a relationship perhaps if I finish it)

I sat on the edge of the bar watching the characters whom would walk into the speakeasy I ran. Then a strange figure walked in, it wasn't that he looked queer but that he was too clean cut to be in such a seedy place such as this place with a bunch of sketchy people. I rose from my stool to approach this newcomer with suspicion in my eyes,” What brings you here doll?” I asked sarcastically

The man ignored the tone and use of the word doll looking down at me with the loveliest smiles I've ever seen,” I'm interested in meeting someone and I was told that I'd find him here.”

I raised an eyebrow,” And whom is it that you are interested in meeting.”

“ A man that goes by Brett Yang or as they call him on the streets Bretty Bang because of his gun slinging skills. Would you know where I could find him?” He maintained eye contact which told me that despite his question he knew I was the man he was looking for.

“ maybe I do, maybe I don't depends on who you are.” I frowned the lovely sight didn't take away my suspicions especially when I was wanted due to running these bootlegs and being a mob leader. I've learned you especially can't trust the prettiest of faces because they could fool you the most.

The taller male chuckled light heartedly,” It's rude to demand for someone else's name without giving your own you know.” He once more flashed a beautiful smile,” But if it helps my cause I'm Eddy.”

“ And why would such a lovely thing as yourself want to meet with a mobster like Brett?” I interrogated eyeing his form over to make sure he wasn't armed

“ Have you ever heard the story of David and Saul? He would play his harp to calm the kings demons. And from what I understand this mobster has some torment that I'm willing to calm.” Eddy thought to himself

That must of been the most suspicious thing I've ever heard but it intrigued me. How would this boy plan on calming my demons,” And would you soothe that through music?’

“ Certainly, I'm a violin player,” he dropped the tone of his voice to a lower octave as he continued to speak,” You like classical music don't you Mr. Yang?”

I stared at Eddy with a frown for a while before turning away motioning for him to follow me to the bar,” You've caught my attention kid, let's discuss.” Curiosity killed the cat but I was willing to try my luck
