Everyone was on board with the plan. I took them to my house and they tied me up convincingly. It was slightly loose and I could rip it anyway with my 10 in strength. All of it was just formality anyway. The sharkman and I were placed in the living room of the house and it was trashed to look like their had been a major struggle in the house. The client was called and told to come and confirm the target. He told the trio he would be there in an hour. Ash and Alex were already in the R8 and on their way to the house. I just had to wait for things to fall into place. I might even have to stall if it was necessary. It was just an hour of waiting. Talking to the three would be a really bad idea as anyone gunning for the 14 rank could not be a fool. There was no way I would tip him off with any overheard conversations. It had to go just right to work. A group of men came in the room. Last to appear was a middle aged man smoking a cigar. He had a fancy coat and fedora. I guessed he was the boss. "Well well well. What do we have here?" he asked rhetorically. I looked at him in exaggerated confusion.
I asked "Who the hell are you and why are you in my damn house!?" He smirked as he looked at me and said "You seem to be awfully unaware of your situation." He just blew cigar smoke in my face. I sneezed and glared at him. "I'll ask again. Who the fuck are you!?" I snapped. He had a sly grin as he said "They call me Fat Cat. I run all this town's casinos and drug runners. I was rank 14 in the Villain's Gallery until very recently." "So what!? It's not my fault that I'm a rising star. When I move further in the ranks you can have your old spot back." He smushed my face with his hand and lost his smile. "Don't be a wiseguy. I already now this can't be all of you. But that doesn't matter. Once I get the bounty on you, I can raise my operations to the point where I'll get my card." he said. "So you really think they'll actually give you the money? You know they'll just cut you off as soo as they see me." I said. He rolled his eyes. "You think I don't have my own insiders? I'll get my bounty and interest whether you get to them dead or alive." Fat Cat said. If true, I would even get targeted by other villains too.
Fat Cat looked at the Green Ninja Trio. "So why did we have to meet here?" he asked. The one with the black hair seemed to be the leader. "It was a really tough fight. It made a real mess of the place. We caught him and put him in ropes. I called you as soon as we secured the target." Fat Cat chuckled to himself while reaching into his coat. He pulled out a golden handgun and pointed it at the leader. "Funny how you three all got through a 'really tough fight' totally clean!" the man said. I had seen enough. I sent Ash and Alex in. They were across the street in the R8. They got out and transformed. They then ran over to the house and broke in the house. They took out the guards and everyone watched. Fat Cat looked at them and said "Who the fuck are you!?" "We're the Heartdogs! I'm Lab and he's Shepherd." Alex said. He shot at them but the bullets just bounced off them. "Ninja Trio, do you're job!" Fat Cat said. The leader turned to him to say something, but Alex lunged at him and beat him up real bad. Ash took on the blond. He tackled the ninja and did the same. The redhead looked at me.
