Mayor of Motham #10- Meetings and Mothballs
Drury- Crane? You're working with Zodiac?
Crane- Me? Working with Zodiac Master. That notion is absurd.
Miranda- Then who?
Crane- Miss Gaige, I may be many things but I'm afraid a rat is not one of them.
Miranda- Damn it. Tell me who sent you or the next bullet goes in your skull
Crane- My dear child. You think that I fear death?
Miranda- Please... just tell me who's after my husband
Crane- Foolish girl. The question isn't who's after your husband. It's who isn't.
Miranda- What are you?
Crane- Haunting isn't it? The revelation of just how alone you really are.
*Miranda punches Crane in the face, knocking him out*
Drury- Well he's a bundle of sunshine. As usual
-----------
???- I hear Mr Lynns and his accomplices are still alive.
Zodiac- Yeah, a bit of a cock up on Norbert's part really.
???- You must understand that when we made our deal, I was assuming it would be you who was going to dispose of them. *Not* Planet Master. Care to explain that to me?
Zodiac- Well, I was busy.
???- Oh? Explain 'busy' to me.
Zodiac- Well, the thing is I knew I didn't have the man power to take Lynns in a straight fight so I've been collecting powers. From the New Zodiac I took the power to project Zodiac symbols. Trust me, that comes in handy. I also King of Cat's lust and Norberto's can-do attitude! And, soon... Soon I will have Chancer's luck
???- I'm sorry, you took King of Cat's lust?
Zodiac- Yeah. That one was an accident but I sure am enjoying it
???- And how exactly is an insatiable libido going to help you to defeat Firefly?
Zodiac- Oh it won't. But it will help me be better in bed.
???- Mr... Master, my sources tell me that Tiger Shark has made a deal with Trump. Walker's staying in office. That means any action taken against Garfield Lynns no longer has any meaning. Our business has concluded
Zodiac- No! You promised you'd tell me where Human Magnet is! You swore!
???- I said I'd tell you if you eliminated Lynns. Which you didn't
Zodiac- Listen you dumb fuck, you're going to give me another chance or the next body I take will be yours!
???- Don't be ridiculous.
*He hangs up*
Sionis- Idiot. Guard? I'm going out for a while.
Guard- Of course Mr Sionis.
-----------------------------
Falcone- Sionis. You said you could take care of our pest problem.
Sionis- That I did.
Falcone- And yet... Walker is still mayor
Sionis- Correct
Falcone- This does not bode well for you, my friend
Sionis- I understand.
Maroni- I heard that this ally of yours, Zodiac whatever, has gone rogue.
Mosaic- It's true, he's using Clifford DeVoe's chair to gain meta abilities
Thorne- Really? Then there is a chance we can use this to our advantage. If this Zodiac kills Walker-
Globe- He'd be a martyr.
Thorne- What's so bad about that?
Maroni- What's so bad about that? We want him destroyed, Rupert. That's why Roman had Doctor Elliot forge the DNA test. Why he had Crane drug the Mayor. There's no benefit to a mayor we can't control.
White- Just because he's still in office doesn't change anything. Joe Rigger, Firebug, told me that the Pyro Guild Association are taking action against him. In response to Mr Garth's unfortunate passing.
Maroni- Please. We can't seriously be putting our faith in some pyrotechnic lunatics to deal with Walker.
White- It's our best gamble. It is either that or Zodiac Master. Who would you trust?
Sionis- If I may say something
Maroni- I've had enough of your crazy ideas Sionis.
Falcone- Enough. Speak.
Sionis- Thank you Don Falcone. There's one gangster he will still listen to. Tiger Shark
Maroni- That fool? You can't be serious.
Sionis- Listen. If we were to bring Dr Gaige back into the fold, he could manipulate Walker for us
Falcone- A most intriguing proposition.
Globe- Yes, but what about Zodiac?
Sionis- Well. I know just the man who's got a boner to pick with him
Globe- Eh?
Sionis- It was a pun. You'll see
