Red ended up in the back-alley between the two larger weapon stores, both of which had their approval licenses, which was given by Racketeer Roxie and as such had her signature showing that both weapon stores operated properly. The document was plastered on one of the front windows. 

The store on the right side of the alley was "Claws of the Golden Tiger." This store had the noticeable entrance way of entering through a giant tiger's mouth, and two dangling golden claws above the two lower most front windows. The store was bright and shining with several neon lights. Outside there was a booth as a female human disc jockey, wearing a neon green shirt which revealed her midriff was playing synthetics. As she was playing the music she adjusted her ear concealing headphones, before fist pumping her left hand. The small crowd around her was dancing to the beat, and kept a fair bit away by the two Wirg guardsmen.

The store on the left side of the alley was simply called "Gorx's." It was a much duller looking building, which had several weapons on display through the windows. Outside it had a holographic model of Xerx, a somewhat known Gordrian Action Star in the tele-feed show, "Yurpfre.", a show set during the Gordian Revolution. The Gordians were small and stocky people covered in a thick mossy substance, which allowed for them to blend in in their native habitat. The Holographic Model was flexing his muscles as he was shooting a holographic version of a minigun which, was a model carried by Gorx's. Outside the store there were two men were playing four dimensional chess. One was an human man who had a grey afro, and a beard which touched the ground. The other was a Slurg, a corpoluent creature with webbed hands, feet and a large tail used for thrashing in the water. The Slurg was wearing a breathing clear device, which was pumping water into the gills on the side of his jowls. He eyed the board cautiously. 

Red glanced back towards Serenity and Mika as he opened a small panel on an industrial grade dumpster that was attached to neither of the two buildings. A chute, which was large enough for a medium sized individual to crouch down through was opened. "Yes good, don't dawdle, go down the slide." He gestured at a rusting grey structure which was curving downwards.
