Well it was that time again. Not eight pm but rather time to shake down another fool who had chosen to strike up a deal with him. This particular fool was in quite a bit of debt too. It had taken a lot of work and tampering to get Regis to his position of mayor of a city state. Damian usually didn't like to get too involved with the government, aside from making sure the police understood the [i]real[/i] rules when it came to dealing with his family. This election, however, had had quite a few enemies in them. The other candidates were vipers that hoped to undermine his youthful rule after the passing of his father two years ago. Perhaps scheduling them for untimely deaths would have been easier—it certainly would have been the direction his father would have gone—but the young leader found an opportunity for far less bloodshed and much more money.

Damian walked casually into the room, dipping his head to the pretty blonde that had escorted them. He moved to position himself in between the two companions he had brought with him that night. His two most trusted members, which were of course Evan and Rowan. While he normally didn't take his sister with him, he had saw no harm in bringing her to this particular meeting. After all, he was just going to collect his money and go. That was the plan at least. 

His gaze fell on the politician, watching the man with a keen eye. Having seen many situations similar to this one play out, the leader barely needed to hear the whisper that escaped Regis. [i]Of course he doesn't.[/i] he thought in mild annoyance. This politician had just made his job a lot more difficult than he wanted to admit. With only two years of leading under his belt, he couldn't allow himself to be too soft on the man that had cost him and his gang a pretty penny. There would have to be consequences.

As Evan pointed out the cost of the whiskey, Damian let out an exasperated sigh. "Well, Regis I think I understand why you were polling so low before.. A mayor who doesn't even know how to budget is just a shame." The leader crossed his arms over his chest and looked over at the older man. "Now, I believe I gave you a fair amount of time to draw up the funds. I would extend your time but,I'm a busy man Regis and I can't keep coming back here to shake you down for money. So either you figure out a way pay me back, or," A dangerous gleam sparked in the leader's gaze as he narrowed his dark eyes on the politician. "you'll have much more to worry about that losing an election."
