Thread: The good, the bad & the dirty. { rskde & Enigma_x }

Roxy, weve got a new one. Seems to think hes good enough to join the ranks. I want you to oversee what Jack plans on doing with him. If need be, break him. The familiar husky tone boomed down the voice. Her boss wasnt one to be vulgar, he simply stated what had to happen. In most organisations, it could be said that violence was key. A display of power, a confirmation of strong leadership. In this organisation, known simply as Venom, violence was second on their list. The majority of their members had been through various methods of torture to prove their loyalty. Anyone could be beaten up and keep their mouth shut it took someone with a great strength of will to endure weeks of torture and remain silent. For that very reason, Roxanne had climbed the ranks. She had been the one to suggest such a test over the years shed managed to build a strong and ruthless group of men. Much to her brothers dismay, Roxanne was the favourite of their boss. She was the one he called in when he needed a right hand. Roxanne had never thought her life would lead her onto this path, yet here she was. She and her brother, Tommy, had struggled throughout their younger years. Their parents had never been around, especially not when they needed them. So it soon became an option that was far easier than making an honest living, for Tommy mostly. Roxanne had done surprisingly well in school and had planned to move and take the step of entering herself in business school. When Tommy came home with wads of cash in his wallet despite only working a few hours, Roxanne was hooked like a starving fish to bait. They knew more than anyone that the world was a cold, dark and miserable place. Life was unfair. So why not take the easy route? There it began, just like that. A simple choice turned into a life of crime. I want him in the office first, Roxannes feminine tone filled the line, and no doubt the room that the men were in. She was always on speaker so they could all hear her orders. Jack can begin there. Ill be there in five to oversee it. One of the men confirmed her orders and put down the phone before taking action with the newcomer. It wasnt often they had new recruits. The only way to find out about them was through a member or if youre fortunate enough, on the street. Jack was a fairly suitable tester, at least in Roxannes mind. He lacked a certain umph, as if he may not completely follow through with what he was supposed to do. Hence why she was there. It had taken her some time to make a mark and get her name taken seriously in such a male dominated organisation but now that she had the respect and fear, it was displayed whenever she walked in the room. And it was good. The twenty seven year old woman parked her black Audi A5 and began to make her way into the rather unkempt warehouse. It was predictable but it served its purpose. She was dressed in a suit, clearly an expensive one. The skirt clung to her curved figure, cutting off right above her knee. Giving the impression that she was a professional, there was no need to have the skirt riding up to get attention. A crisp white shirt was tucked in, loose enough for comfort yet fitted enough to display her ample assets. The blazer had been left in the car, revealing the long sleeves that had been rolled up a few times, no doubt in preparation. Her long, red curls had been tied up in a ponytail, a few strands of her layered locks brushed over her face, thankfully it just gave her icy blue stare a bit of contrast. The red tint her hair currently was, was clearly fake. She dyed it often, her natural colour had barely reappeared since shed left her life of normality behind. The warehouse fell silent as her heels tapped against the dirty concrete as she made her way through the large, dark open space. From what she could hear, Jack was already taking the wrong route. He was directly asking the new comer where he lived, what his life entailed. Didnt he realise he had to pick key information, specific questions, not simply bulldoze the man with obvious demands. Roxanne simply rolled her eyes as she breezed into the office. The small space was decorated fairly well. The grey, dull concrete floor remained but the walls were covered in a deep crimson. An old oak desk sat at the rear wall, accompanied by a rather luxurious leather chair. This was the office theyd come to should they need a safe place to work or, well, get information. Hence why the floor hadnt been decorated and the walls chosen a rather vicious red. Up, She nodded to Jack, he simply took a step back, biting a retort as he took his leave. No doubt to have a smoke. Roxanne grabbed the stool Jack had been sitting on and gave it a slight adjustment, making it higher considering she stood at five seven, it was clear Jack was much taller. Leave us. She commanded the men who had remained still, arms crossed over their chests. Upon hearing her stern words, they left in single file. Once she and the new comer were alone, the female crossed one leg over the other, delicately enough to be deceiving of her role in the organisation there werent many well mannered women working for organisations such as hers. So, its clear you want to join. She noted before her gaze met his, her piercing blue hues locked with his for a moment. We dont have time to do the usual methods of acceptance. However, the rules remain the same. She continued as she edged closer, almost a few inches from his face as she leaned in. If I find reason, I will take you to the dungeon myself. I will strip your body of your flesh, piece by piece. I also have a tendency to remove testicles with a rusty pair of shears. Are we clear? Much like her boss, Roxanne got straight to the point. They were in dire need of extra men, especially for the current movement they were planning. She didnt have time to go over the full admission routine so she stuck with blatant honesty. So, this is how this will work. You will report to me, and me alone. Forget Jack. Youre going to do whatever I ask. If you dont, I go retrieve my rusty shears. If youre late, the same. If you disappear, I will find you. There is no escape. We are everywhere in this city. By sitting here in the first place I assume you understand what we are, and the things we are capable of. The woman glanced down to her watch. I have a meeting shortly. So Ill keep this sweet. I need you to get me something. Roxanne stood, making her way back toward the desk. Once shed scribbled down an address she made her way back, handing him the note. I want you to find me a jewelry set. Diamonds only. Make sure to keep it quiet. If you succeed, then well talk further about your role here. If not, you best be ready to be castrated. The woman offered a hint of a smirk before making her way to the door. Once youve finished, call Jack. Hell bring you to me. With that, she turned on her heel and left. color
