Kenneth sends a quick reply, <<Yes sir, I will be there.>> He then spends the rest of the day doing random errands in prep for any job he's being put on. Cleaning his guns, oiling his jacket and polishing his boots. making sure all his spare ammunition is prepped and ready. He also spends a bit of time taking 3K off his credsticks and turning it into Script encase he needs to bribe anyone in a neighborhood where Credsticks aren't as useful while on the job. Basically getting himself as prepared as he would if he was going on an investigation in the Rangers. When the time comes to show up he'll be 5 minutes early, polished, clean and ready.

Kenneth listens and then eyes everyone as they ask their questions. He really can't think of anything to add so be merely crosses his arms and gives Josiah a pointed look before nodding towards Alfred. After a bit he does lean forwards and ask, in a deep voice like bourbon on gravel, "This auction house... What othe auctions are going on in the near future. Most of those places varify authenticity while storing stuff in their own private vaults. So... If their auctioning some AAA poo poo within 3 or 4 days of the job the security might be a bit... More adventurous." He shrugs and leans back, recrossing his arms and setting his pointed gaze back on Josiah.

I could theoretically be at an auction for real reasons... but I don't want to have my real ID registered at a place I plan to rob... Tell me when you're gonna head up and I can show up too. My fake SIN is registered as a body guard with License for Pistols and Armor... So, if any of you fellas have a higher class SIN I could theoretically use that as a cover.]

Kenneth lets out a snort of derision and grumbles, "I'm a troll not an idiot. Going as Jacod "Heartless" Saunders. Registered as a Close Protection Specialist and with permits to legally carry pistols and wear military grade body armor." He takes off his hat but wears his duster over his body armor and carries his pistol on his back holster.

Kenneth grumbles to Raider, "Man, Raider, I might be able to pull some strings but I'm out of that. I mean, yeah, I got friends. Who doesn't? But this kinda poo poo ain't usually what Rangers do... I'll make a few calls. When you need this dirt done?"

Raider runs a biker gang. They deal drugs, hijack cars and sell things. Run chop shops. Have brothels. They don't deal in the 'darker poo poo' like slavery. Everyone that works for them wants to work for them but that doesn't mean they're nice.

Ken then calls up Jason McCall, "Hey, friend. I have an odd request. I need a badge. It doesn't even need to be real, just look the part. If you can't do it man, I can probably find someone else. I don't want to get you into any poo poo. Some guy wants me to scare some drug dealers for some quick cash... Hell, maybe you could even help. Two old friends go to a bar to have some drinks, see some drug dealers. Bust 'em. Old times, ya know?"

Previously Kenneth would have called Raider to get him to move HIS drug dealers out of the club. Ken palms the badge in his off hand. He nods to McCall and walks up to the bouncer. He flashes the Texas Ranger badge and growls out, "How you feeling tonight, Son?" He gives the bouncer an idle smile and then says, "A nice evening for a drink, don't you think?"

Kenneth grins a toothy Trollish grin and moves towards McCall, he grabs anyone who's clearly holding, probably holding, or hell, just looks like they did drugs once or twice and cuffs them, shoving them roughly towards the wall that is near McCall. He does everything almost the same as McCall except with more force than is necessary. The Troll uses his brutish size and force to 'get the most' out of his job. It's obvious as he enjoys himself that seems to have forgotten that he's not ACTUALLY a Ranger anymore.

Kenneth shrugs at McCall, "Turn 'em in, toss 'em, do whatever you want man. Maybe you'll get a promotion for this. I should probably disappear before The Star shows up though, ya know?" He chuckles and then leans in, grabbing McCall's shoulder and muttering, "I owe you one man, maybe we can have a drink some time, catch up, it's been a while buddy." He slaps McCall a bit too hard on the shoulder in friendly gesture then heads out with another thank you and tip of his hat.

Kenneth doesn't flinch, doesn't look angry, doesn't even seem to notice the gun for a bit before he starts to chuckle low in his throat. He gives Double Tap a grin and then moves towards him incredibly slowly, hands out and showing no threat, just pressing his head against the barrel of the gun and moving his imposing frame to loom over the boy. "Listen here son, I know you're used to this glittered high-life bull poo poo and pulling this kind of thing seems like something you can get away with in your little corporate hold out. A friend asked me for a favor. I got help from a different friend to do that favor. One of those friends is a member of a biker gang, the other friend is a current Texas Ranger. I may have left the Rangers, and yes, I left them in a bit of a hurry due to some bad blood. But do you think I just stopped knowing everyone in my past?"

He chuckles and looks around the room in disbelief before bearing down even more on the kid, he still doesn't raise his voice. "I got asked, payed even, to hit a group of Drug Dealers, because I used to be a Ranger and I know how to swagger like one. I decided the best way to do that was to actually bring a loving Ranger, and since one of my old friends was looking for a promotion I decided to help him out. I get the job done, get payed, my friend gets the credit. Now put your little pistol away and stop showing your rear end boy, because if you keep wagging it around like this you're gonna introduce yourself to a piece so big it'll ruin your walkin' for a week." He turns away and motions towards the rest of the group, "Am I now required to send you all a memo every time I go have a bit of fun with my friends?" He motions idly back towards Double Tap, "I mean, just because everyone in your past probably wants to kill you doesn't mean everyone in my past does. I have friends, I'm sorry the concept is loving new to you." He just shrugs and looks annoyed, waiting to see how everyone else responds.

"Look, Hombre, I'm not trying to be scary. I'm trying to be loving reasonable. I don't spend my days watching you. I. Did. A. Job. I didn't even DO it for the rangers. Maizon, leader of the Triple N Raiders asked me to hit some drug dealers that were dealing on his turf. It had NOTHING to do with the Rangers. I just have contacts there. If you were asked to stop some Jamacian drug dealers in a club you would come at it the way you would. Using your Ares contacts and what you had at your service. The Rigger would come at it her way, using her gadgets and being a get away driver. A mage would go in magical. I'm an Ex-loving Ranger. I come at it the way a Ranger would because it's my past. I have a certain set of skills that I learned in my past... Everyone does, that's why we get hired as a loving group, we'd be USELESS if we were all of the exact same loving skill set. The Raiders wanted it too look like cops hit up their competition, I did them one better and had actual loving cops hit them up."

He leans over the Ex-Arex employee once more before grumbling, "I don't mean to say this in a threatening manner, so don't take it that way, but you don't have Ares behind you any more. You execute me right here and you'll be a runner that killed an Ex-Ranger to most people, most of the people who hear about it won't give a poo poo... But that doesn't mean that I don't have friends, insurance. I used to be a cop. If I flatline here do you really think that no one will ask questions? Do you think that my Doc-Wagon beacon just won't work? Do you think that the people who hired me, the people who vouched for my effectiveness in the field will just be happy I died? You're right, you could kill me if I betrayed you, the people in the shadows here would probably do it for you, but do you think they'd be happy if you laid me out right here for no reason? Do you think that the fixer that set this up will just be happy? How do you think I know Texas Red? The question I'm asking, the meaning of my threats is simple, do you think that after you kill me you'll just be OK? Are you really that naive? I don't want to kill you, I don't want to hurt you, if I did I would have pulled a weapon or tried to subdue you by now. Jesus wept son, can you talk like a real living adult instead of waiving that poo poo around in front of your face like you was born a bitch?"

<<Nobody is fighting, this kid pulled on me, he wants to shoot me. I'm not gonna pull on him, we're god drat co-workers, I have more loving reason than that. I just don't think he fully grasps the severity of his situation. It's fine, Rigger. It'll be alright. Although, staying out there is probably a good idea. This idiot kills me, Give his picture to Maizon of the Raiders and a Texas Ranger based out of Dallas called McCall. They'll deal with it but good. Tell 'em I sent you and they'll even pay you for the info.>>

"Get our books, also we want to try to lock this place back up when we are done. I dunno if our job was on the level, I mean, we are criminals. But if I was planning on stealing some of this OTHER poo poo, I would hire someone to break the security for something else, leave their footprints and fingerprints all over. Then go in silent, take what I want and scrub my way out so they get blamed. Granted, I have no idea what's actually going on, my knowledge of magic is that it exists. That's it. I just know how criminals work. The amount of times we wasted time pursuing a guy because someone hired him as a set up was... well... high." He mutters as Alfred speaks, "If the poo poo in here is as bad as Marcina says I don't want to be taking anything and then having some angry rear end voodoo man coming after me while I'm napping. Granted, it's a group job, so it's up to you guys. All I know is, I ain't got one lick of magic and even I felt that poo poo when I walked in here."

(First, sorry, work is hell for me during this time of year because my business is most busy during the holidays, been working from 3 PM until 3-4 AM)

Kenneth crosses his arms and grumbles a bit, obviously still thinking about everything before muttering, "That drek was crazy. So, we got all this stuff..." He trails off and shakes his head before going to sit down, he looks back at the group and says, "I don't really care what happens to it. If we get rid of it, sell it, whatever. I have no huge need for money right now, but I don't mind the idea of being payed. I just think we should think of the overall effect of what we do with this poo poo." He motions to Alfred, "If we got the manuscripts, we get payed for our job. Yeah, the buyer probably knew about the other drek but he didn't send us to get it. Whole thing is sour but still, if we show up and give him the poo poo he asked for we get payed... probably. That was the job. I have no problem with getting rid of anything that didn't have to do with the job. I care about money, but not enough to lose my mind and my life over it without thinking about the consequences of what we do."

It's not normally under their job description to respond to a bank job as they're using most of the resources investigating Aztlan and Lone Star has the police contract there..." He crosses his arms and sends the group a short message <<Quick question fellas, if this is gonna be a broadcast thing I'm gonna cover my face in a mask, anyone else gonna be doing that?

Sunday, 2075/2/10, 11:00
Sunday over breakfast (fried eggs and chicken-fried steak, a exorbitant plate covered from your recent windfall of cash), another friend contacted out. This time, it was Slip Dash. The tone seemed panicked, even just in the text. <<Hey, Ken, I'm in a loving jam. I need a hot second of help, and it's not the sort of thing the cops will do. I know, I tried. You got a safe spot we can meet and I can tell you the thing I need?>>

Sorry guys, I'm kinda lame, I am here!

(An OOC note: Ken's house is a HIGH RATING place with extra money payed to make it hard to find and secure...)

Ken grumbles a bit and growls, "You come into my house carrying a gun and armed for bear? Son, we're in the middle of the burbs, no one is gonna come here lookin' for you or Lone Star will be forced to come down on them like a wolf on a lamed fox. Sit yourself down, calm yourself down and drink this down." He walks over to the auto-vendor in the kitchen and pushes a button and tosses the bottle of beer that pops out to SlipDash then pulls one out for himself. He opens it, despite it not being a twist top, with a simple flick of his fingers before walking over and falling down into a large sturdy arm-chair. "Now, calm down, explain what happened and what you need from me chummer, I'm sorry I got a bit testy... I just don't want to be answerin' every drat question my neighbor's are gonna be tossing at me because the lady down the way talks so much they call her the Mouth of the South." He shakes his head and begins draining the beer.

He pauses for a while and then drinks another swallow of his beer before saying, "Or, well, you could somehow associate with an even more dangerous gang and get 'em scared of you. But you know, that isn't a quick fix... What do you want to do? I don't know how you get caught 2 times doing something you shouldn't." He chuckles a bit before saying, "Still, not really your fault this drat Lone Star rear end in a top hat don't know how a CI relationship works. You gotta ask for things that are useful enough to help your fuckin' investigations but not dangerous enough to get your CI killed. Ain't no use to anyone dead." He shakes his head ruefully.
