As Shin exited the store, he noticed the two goons had disappeared from the site of the crime. Glancing around, Shin could not find either of the two men. Luckily, the woman had. She brushed past Shin and told him to head north in the direction of the goon with the baseball bat. She would take the one with brass knuckles who went south. Although he would have enjoyed beating the shit out of both of them, he would have to make do with one. Nodding his head, Shin headed north in hopes of locating the baseball goon.
Walking north, the crowd got thinner and thinner which would make it easier to find the goon. Good thing Ghastly had tagged along. Appearing from the darkness of an alleyway, Ghastly popped in front of Shin and motioned for him to follow. Doing just that, Shin and Ghastly approached a little pharmacy where the goon was bashing on an old lady. He grabbed a few bottles of medicine and tossed them against the wall
. "Vincenze wants the price of your medicine to go up. You've been bringing in a good amount of money but it just ain't enough. Double the prices and if anybody asks, tell em to talk to me!" the goon spat out as he slammed his fist on the wooden counter splitting it down the middle. He turned around and began walking away with a strut in his step. Question being, for how long though?
Stepping from hiding, Shin motioned for Ghastly to scare the man into an alleyway where Shin would meet them. First, he would have to console the old lady. Walking over to her shop, he stood over her and began to speak.
"That asshole is gonna wish he never did that. You don't need to worry about what he said either, the Tessio's are not asking of anything from you. He was speaking lies of Vicenze," Shin assured the shopkeeper and he headed in the direction of the goon. Stepping into the darkness of the alleyway, the plan was set into motion. Ghastly appeared in front of the goon and caused him to stumble into the alleyway. Before he could swing his bat, Shin grabbed him from the back by his neck and pinned him against the wall. He took his bat from him and smashed it against the ground. Turning the man around, he punched him square in his face sending him to the ground. Standing over the man with a menacing glare, he bent down and let his words do the rest.
"Get the fuck out of Oak. Speak lies of the Tessio's again and I'll have your life. Return to Oak, I'll have your life. Now leave before I snap!" Shin barked at the man as he stepped back allowing the man to scamper off. Giving Ghastly a little pat on the head, Shin headed back to the location where he was to meet with Frankie.
