The Weeping frowned slightly as he took in everything going on in front him. This was not the room he had been aiming for, but it was probably for the best. Fat Tony's office would be shrouded in darkness and might frighten the young girl. Glancing down towards her he tapped her shoulder, and she opened her eyes and looked around before smiling at him and ran off. He watched her leave the building from the window and saw her go down a different ally and crawl into a makeshift tent.

He gave out an exasperated sigh, but it sounded like a combination between a hissing of steam. Causing a slight shuddering from those still in the room, though the teens seemed ready and eager to leave. The Weeping's eyes flickered back towards them causing them to freeze as he studied each of them. After a tense moment of silence The Weeping vanished into a shadow his final words still lingering in the air.

Not a statement but a command.

He stood silently in the dark office for what felt like maybe ten moments before he began hearing movement coming up the stairs. The old man Garrett was up front followed by three more individuals. These four were the unofficial leaders of the Melting Pot. Some were shoved into the role by their peers much like in the case of Garrett while at least one of them just decided he wanted to have a say in things. Garrett cleared his throat as he stepped away from the group still not clearing the threshold into the office.

"Youse called fer us?"

The Weeping considered his words carefully.

[b][color=ed1c24][color=ed1c24]"Things will be changing soon Garrett. Some people are going to be coming looking for me."[/color][/color][/b]

He could hear one of the ones in the back sucking his teeth. A much younger man though still quite middle aged evident from the graying dreadlocks. "I knew dis man wood be nuttin but trouble." He however quieted down slightly when he saw The Weeping looking directly at him.

[b][color=ed1c24]"I know you four have more say than most in these slums. I don't ask you endanger yourselves for me, but if anyone asks. You know nothing."[/color][/b]
