OOC: Alright, here at last. As no one has yet claimed Goonie I'll just have to control him for now.

"I see you haven't lost your touch. I was going to suggest upping the bribe, but shooting sounds much more cost effective." The Oddfather suddenly became deadly serious. "One other thing. I suspect that the Nolybab Ratz gang have been tipped off on this little enterprise. I am hoping that relationships with the Ratz can continue to go well, but if it proves too much to resist, you know what to do. Though I am confident that you can handle the Ratz, it is a complication you'd do best to avoid. I want things to go smoothly, yes? No foul ups."
"Aw'right!" Knuckles punched one hand into the palm of the other, "Let's move!"
He and Goonie quickly left the room and a few moments later emerged out a back door of the Lucky Scrab Casino.
Knuckles made a gesture with his arm to Goonie, "Come on, I'm gonna go round up some o' the boys over at the tavern. You comin' or what?"
The two swiftly made their way across the city to the hotel tavern near the outskirts of the town. As they pushed the doors open and entered, everyone in the room looked up then, on recognizing the two, quickly returned to their business, some trying so hard to be inconspicuous they became anything
but. Luckily for them, the goons weren't here for them.
Neither said a word, they both knew exactly what needed doing so discussion was pointless. Splitting up, they searched through the building for suitable henchmen of the mafia for the job.
Less than twenty minutes later, a small group of outlaws bunched together with Knuckles and Goonie in one of the back rooms of the tavern.
"Aw'right," Knuckles once again punched his fist into the palm of his other hand, "on to business! The Oddfather's asked us boys to take the trucks on down to the docks to collect a special delivery for him! Now, maybe there might be some people who aren't too happy about that..." Goonie smirked at this, "...but y'all know how we deal with that, right?"
A chorus of voices shouted "Right!"
"Aw'right!" Knuckles motioned to the door, "Let's go!"
They marched noisily out the door and through the tavern out onto the street, where they made their way to the back of the tavern, where three trucks were conveniently parked.
Knuckles glanced at Goonie. Goonie lifted a fist, and Knuckles answered by hitting his fist against Goonie's. "Let's go!" Knuckles called once more, and with that the outlaws boarded the trucks to set off for the docks...
OOC: Hope this works...
