He had recieved the call to meet a woman named Bacia in this very park at this very bench. Logan never told him why, just to be there.

he wondered the entire time he sat there wondering what was going on. Was this another loyalty test?

he really figured he had proved it by risking his life twice without thinking about what he was doing.

At the moment he carried a small hand gun hidden bentah his un tucked white dress shirt and tucked into the back of his jeans.

His posutre was relaxed as bryce was not the type to care what others thought. he sat one foot rested gently on the opposite knee and and an arm stretched along the back of the bench, as he simply did as told and waited

---------------------------------------------

*She approached the bench where the man sat. Just like D had said, the boy knew how to follow orders. This was good, because there were a lot of tough orders coming down in the near future. Bacia was dressed in a black tank, jeans, and a trench which hid her arsenal quite neatly. She approached the bench, sitting down beside Bryce. She turned to face him, her face an expressionless mask.*

You must be Bryce. I'm Bacia. Before this goes any further, I have to tell you something. If you're up for what I'm gonna tell you, it's a suicide mission. I need to know -now- if you have any family, friends, or ex-girlfriends that you still have any attachment to.

------------------------------------------------

An eyebrow slowly raised at her words as it was obvious she was a woman of business. the following question had an easy answer.

"The Devereux are my only Family"

He kept things to the point and simply kept slight eye contact to show how serious he was about the situation even though he had no idea what he was getting into. Espically when was called a suicide mission. really he had taken those on whole hearted already in this family.

besides he had secrets of his own he tended to keep to himsefl even from lili and the others.

--------------------------------------------------

*Her eyes narrowed only slightly.* Fine. If you're gonna be a part of this, we have to know -everything-. If there is anything in your past that can be used against you, a friend, an acquaintance, that high-school science teacher you lost your virginity to, anything, we need to know. The SOBs we are going up against will use -anything- against us, no matter how insignficant it may seem at the time. *She did smile briefly, but it was a sadistic smile, the smile of a girl who would enjoy pulling wings from flies.* If you hide anything from me, and by that I mean the Devereux family, I will shoot you in the testicles, then the face, and then the chest. Do you understand me?

------------------------------------------------------

Listening to every word he sat back and held his serious demeanor even under her slip of a smile.

"I left My past in Vegas, I was framed by my old gang as a traitor, which was the farthest from the truth. no worries though, The big names in Vegas wiped out the small time gang and I came here. Other than that i am clean..scouts honor"

he made the hand gesture usually made by a scout member and waited a moment.

" and don't waste your bullets, if I betray, I deserve to use my own"

-----------------------------------------------------
*Against her better judgement, she had found something to like about this guy. His sense of loyalty seemed to match her own. That also gelled with what she had found out about him from the Family. She nodded.*

Good. I've heard you're good in a fight. We need people who are the best for the Suicide Kings. They make up the best hitters the Devereux family has and we're going after the Syndicate -and- the Vincettis. We're gonna wipe out those SOBs and take back what's ours. D. Stanton's the head King, but there are several of us. Keep in mind, if you join, you're in it till the reaper takes you away. Me, I ain't got nuthin to lose. Haven't in years.

------------------------------------
he heard the family names and as insane as it sounded he also had nothing to lose. the Devereux Family was all he lived for now,nothign else.

"Sounds like a sweet package to me, where do i sign?"

he couldn't believe the words slipping through his lips as he watched the woman's eyes and body gestures, something he did by instinct. It seemed his loyalties would not only be with the family but with these kings, a hit squad of all things.

"No Doubts,No Regrets"

the last words to spill from his vocals
---------------------------------------------------

Ok. *She nodded again, giving him one last look.* You're in. We'll contact you when we're ready. Until then, well just go as normal. *A chuckle escaped her lips* well, as normal as things can be given you work for a criminal organization. Aah, sometimes I love my job. *She stood up from the bench, and cracked her neck from side to side.* I'll see you around, Bryce. Try not to get yourself killed...*Without waiting for a response, she headed off into the shadows.*

-------------------------------------------------------

he watched as she walked off, he had finally been rewarded for his loyalty and it seemed it was the tops that gave the word.

Standing he pulled a smoke from his pocket and lit up inhaling deeply as he walked off towards his apartment.

It was time to prepare, taking on organizations like Syndicate and Vincettis was gonna take alot. Can't be caught off guard.
