The Barn

Barley's Barn (aka Barney's Brothel, Boston Babe-eria, and Beth's Botanical) is a multi-facet establishment run by Barley. Primarily meant to be an opium den, Barley's Barn has since expanded into several black market goods and services.
==History==
===Before The Prophecies Begin===
Barley went down to Compton and shot up the dominant seller and his smurfs in order to establish his brand. He then went ahead and started recruiting dealers to supply in-house "product" in case some of the junkies didn't bring their own (Barley is a community man, and will happily let you use outside "product," letting his barn become a safe place where you can get high without accidentally hurting yourself). Unfortunately, some people started bringing in cubed sugar and dried "man milk," so Barley needed to downsize his operation so that he could better "focus" on his supply. Paradoxically, he needed to increase his revenue as well to pay the bouncers or else all of his kneecaps would be broken.
===Into the Wild===
When Ravenpaw witnessed Tigerclaw pwn Redtail, Firepaw and Graypaw wanted someplace to smuggle him. Bluestar suggested Barley's since the cops never look there unless they want shot, and Barley got the idea to start human trafficking, "hiring" Ravenpaw to give cats a "happy ending" in the back room.
===Fire and Ice===
Because Firepaw and Graypaw don't know about Ravenpaw's basic rights being taken away, they decide to shelter the entirety of WindClan in Barney's Brothel. Rather than let his operation spill out of control, Barley lets them all in and slips all of the cats his special powder so that they won't feel him boning them in their sleep for the lulz. This causes WindClan's population to explode from, like, seven cats to whatever it is by the end of this arc.
===Forest of Secrets===
Barley has some very interesting confrontations with a rival gang that are almost completely unmentioned in this book. Almost.
===Rising Storm===
When ThunderClan burns down, Fireheart suggests they go to Barley's Barn. Bluestar nervously glances around, deciding not to break the news to him that Barley's "services" now include weapon manufacturing and the police are probably going to start raiding him soon.
===A Dangerous Path===
Barley pays Tigerstar to release a bunch of dogs that have undergone inhumane experiments from the funding of a Mr. B. Arley. Once the dogs start destroying the forest, committing mass genocide, and defecating all over Twolegplace, Barley burns the laboratory they came from down in order to hide the evidence, almost killing Graystripe offscreen. Preoccupied with more pressing issues, the police overlook investigating Barley's Barn, giving him time to move everything offsite into "urMothersmouth" while they're investigating his property. In the clear, he moves everything back in, of course, taking the time to do some much-needed house cleaning and bookkeeping.
===Darkest Hour===
When Firestar is ready to learn where babies come from, he and Cinderpelt go to Barley's Barn where they learn that he's started to grow cocaine in-house. At first, they are horrified, but then Barley offers them some free samples, so they overlook it. And then he lets Cinderpelt and Firestar crash for one night if they "services" his other guests. I'll leave it up to you for which one made him more money.
Scourge comes up start spitting mad rhymes to the forest cats. When his self-esteem is broken, Firestar talks with absolutely everybody including Barley, who left his barn for five minutes just to laugh at Scourge and call him a "little wussy wuss pussy (cat)." Barley reveals that he used to be a part of Scourge's gang, but that ghetto poser was doomed to die in the streets without a label and Barley was better off busting skulls to forge his own criminal empire.
===Ravenpaw's Path===
Ravenpaw gets a promotion to "head maid" because of how good he is at taking bills and nobody's s--t. Things are going pretty good in the barn until some of Scourge's little homies start causing a ruckus. Barley initially wants to gun them down, but they come with too many bodies, so he calls in a favor and has ThunderClan collect the hit on them. Barley realizes that the invaders are lead by his former "brutha"s who came to "collect their due," he ties them up and shoots them in the back of the head, leaving their bodies outside the barn for a day as a warning sign.
===The New Prophecies===
Barley hires some Twolegs to go and smash up the forest because Firestar forgot to pay him "protection money," but realizes too late that it would drive out a large portion of his own profits, so he sobers up and offers the forest cats a place to stay in the meantime. All of the Clans gather together and start having a gigantic "game of intimate Twister" with almost literally every cat from the Clans (except Graystripe and a few others that got yeeted into a white van first). Barley planned on keeping half of them as imprisoned sex workers, but Firestar realizes his operation and has them all run for their kitty lives before he can start handcuffing cats to bedposts.
===Between The New Prophecies and Graystripe's Vow===
Barley's business stabilizes, as the Twolegs' expansion in the drug trade created a chaotic new market rife with startups, all of which Barley either eliminated or plundered for his own. Several years passed, and soon Barley had conquered all of BloodClan's former territory, the latter a broken mess of washouts and lowers all diving into dumpsters for their latest hits.
Barley scoffed as his men captured Fury and tied her up, executing her with a well-placed shot between the eyes. He felt nothing as he pulled the trigger. Not relief, not anger, not glee. Nothing. Killing had become a routine part of upkeep for Barley's Barn, and conquering BloodClan's territory, solidifying his place as the only drug trader in the entire city, was just a byproduct of Barley protecting his bread and butter by this point.
Barley developed a taste for Cuban blow, and started importing it infrequently. He decided to keep it in a warehouse near the BloodClan territory as a satellite operation, cutting off some of his drug products like cocaine in order to make way for the new herb. While the product didn't require a dedicated grower and had brand recognition, Barley was careful to never allow it to overtake his main avenues. Foremost, the profit margins simply weren't as sharp if he had to split between he and the Cubans. It didn't make sense for him to make $50 an ounce for coke if he could make $60 for some stardust. Second, if some rat-ass rookie screwed him on a payment and thought they could screw him, it came out of his pocket immediately. There was no "torture the guy for a week to teach other goons a lesson and then write it off," he had to split cash before looking for this sob otherwise he'd have a couple dirty foreigners breathing down his back in Mexican or whatever and poking a knife in his gut. Third, It wouldn't be more than a few years until Diabolo Poncho started to bounce a few numbers and wonder if Barley's area was a big enough market to be worth installing some mule to directly sell and cut out "the middle man," and Barley needed to sculpt the market before that happened. Diversify the product line, sate a taste for exotic and experimental hallucinogens instead of more "famous" powders, and get each of his suppliers seeing him as the only thing keeping the others from invading.
===Graystripe's Vow===
To finish his religious pilgrimage, Graystripe finds Barley's Barn, now operating under the name "Big B's Blow-porium." He wonders inside and talks to Barley, whom tells him that he knows he's old, dying, and that his business will need to outlive his image, so he's trying to shift the brand off of him just a bit. Graystripe agrees that this would probably do nicely for spreading word of mouth about the barn, but asks how this will stop rival gangs from coming in and taking over Barley's turf when he's gone, or even sooner than that. Barley sips some nice black tea and calls over Monkeystar, introducing WarriorClan to his fellow criminal, and tells Graystripe that he's set on transferring power to a protege in the scene. Monkeystar seems young and naive, he assures, but in her heart she's a vicious killer, showing him photos of her work against some narc that tried to sting their operation.
The rest of WarriorClan arrives and informs Graystripe, Barley, and Monkeystar that a Twoleg is kidnapping cats and shoving them up her rectum, and they all go to watch, and that is exactly what is happening and what the Twoleg in the book does.
When they finish, Graystripe takes a moment to look over at his friend, and meows, "This may be the last we meet." Barley chuckles knowingly, joking about placing a hit on Graystripe before telling him that a suitcase has been prepared for him, with some of his favorite "product" and $100,000 in unmarked bills. Graystripe thanks the old cat and leaves. Barley finished the special glass of tea Monkeystar prepared for him. He comments to Monkeystar that it taste like apples, before the two stare at each other, unblinking. He tells her that he wasn't upset with her, as there could be no other way for this to happen, and pulls out a small journal, detailing the history of the brothel, warning her "you will need to read this, before they come," and makes himself comfortable in the chair. Monkeystar watches, unblinking, as Barley closes his eyes for a short nap, deepening his breath in the comfort of his favorite chair, until his rasps are still and his heart tranquil...
