(( The face on the screen looks equal parts frustrated and worried. From the look of the bandages wrapped around his torso and the general background of the video, it's clear this guy's in the hospital. It's also clear that he's none too pleased by the fact. ))

Who's responsible for bringing me here? This is not the level of care I'm accustomed to! Where's Pete? Where's Macau? Where's my fucking gun??

(( Surprisingly, Vegas is quiet for a moment. Actually thoughtful. Did he really hate Kinn or was he groomed to be jealous of everything his cousin had? Just like his father had been of his brother? Vegas isn't really sure. But with no one to back either of them up, what good would a rivalry do? ))

What's there to fight over?

(( If there were no family politics, no power to vie for? That was Vegas' way of agreeing to Kinn's terms. ))

[There's a flicker of hope in his chest, but he keeps it off his face. This is one of those times where he has to tread carefully]

Nothing. There's no longer a minor or a major family,now. Only in name to satisfy the others.

[No need to alert the other mafias that they're now one. But its important that vegas knows theres nothing to fight over.]

And ive been scouting here. What they may tout as shady business is laughable.

(( Vegas drops his gaze at the mention of the major and minor families. Even if there were still a minor family, he wouldn't be in charge of it. Khun Korn is no fool. No one would trust Vegas with family business again.

And, honestly? A part of him is relieved.

When he turns his attention back to Kinn on the screen, a half-hearted smirk pulls one corner of his mouth up. ))

Already trying to recreate your empire, huh?

[50000baht]

[He meets the smirk with one of his own]

Trying to protect my people should they show up. Which they have. Theres no telling if the Italians or Yakuza or Triad may show. Theres no rhyme or reason to this place.

[And, on a smaller scale, a way to protect himself should Vegas decide he's the one who wants power.]

How long are they keeping you there?

[Because now he has to figure out a way to obtain a decent house. With LOTS of space.]

[safesex]

(( His people, huh? Did he still consider Vegas one of his? ))

Not long. I'm gonna ask Pete to bust me out.

[50000baht]

Pete's here too?

[Just his luck. He's relieved and annoyed at the same time. An extra leash on his psychotic cousin wasn't a bad thing.]

Good. Glad to hear that. I know a doctor. I trust her.

[safesex]

(( Excuse you, cousin. Vegas is not the one who wears the leash in that relationship. ))

Yeah, he's here.

(( Why, is that some genuine fondness in his voice? Say it ain't so! ))

[50000baht]

[Whatever, Vegas. Kinn wont correct that.]


Good.

[And he will change the subject.]

If he's going to fetch you, have him contact me. I'll see what i can do about better housing.

[Still doesnt know he was talking to Pete before.]

[safesex]

(( Get it right, motherfucker. ))

Yeah, okay. I'll let him know.
