Ruined Business
#1
Somewhere in Tier Five, a black sedan hover car drove down the street at a fast speed. The speed he was going was twenty miles over the speed limit but who was driving the car was an orc wearing a purple leisure suit. He honked his horn at the traffic on the road and made illegally passing cars on the other side of the road. Sweat ran down his greasy forehead and a frantic look was upon his face. He grabbed a small rag out of his coat pocket to wipe his forehead and continued to focus getting to his destination not too late. The radio was tuned to a music channel he normally listened to but that wasn’t helping to calm him down.

He saw a traffic light around the corner that was green on his side and smashed the pedal down, making the car accelerate faster. The nose of the car lifted slightly from the horsepower and torque that kicked in. Closer and closer he got to the traffic light that was still green but suddenly, the light changed. It went to yellow to caution drivers about slowing down for a red light, but the orc didn’t give two shits about it. He had to give the news straight away as quickly as possible while he’s alive. Thoughts ran through his mind making him paranoid if the masked killer realized one orc witness escaped the club. He would look in the rear-view mirror with worried eyes if he caught someone following him.

The light turned red, but it was too late for him to stop so he ran the red light. For the people who had the right away, vehicles slammed on their breaks and some skirted following with an angry honk at the traffic violator. The orc didn’t care if he was driving like a maniac, he had no choice but get to his destination before it was too late for him. He arrived at the destination but didn’t pay attention to make a turn which the orc realized a split second late and slammed on his breaks then turning into a parking deck. The car drove up three floors to find a suitable parking space since the lower decks were filled. He parked the hover car and got out of the car quickly then locked it with his key remote without looking while fast walking to the closest elevator to him.

The orc made it to the elevator and frantically pressed the button several times to close the doors. After the doors closed, the elevator began to descend to the ground floor. There was no music playing in the elevator but dreadful silence filled it. The nervous orc tapped his foot impatiently for the elevator doors to open. A ding went off in the elevator for making to the ground floor and opened up the doors slowly but the orc wedged himself through the doors to get out quickly. He walked out of the parking deck and onto the sidewalk of the street. Some pedestrians passed him as he kept his fast pace to reach a lieutenant’s property of the Orc Mafia.

It took a couple minutes to walk down the street and make it to the address. The property was an old modern four-story city building which wasn’t highly advanced as the ones on the upper tiers. At the front entrance, two toughest orc mobsters stood guard outside and notice the leisure suit style orc walking up to the doors. They stop the guest at the entrance before he can access the building for security reasons. The nervous orc rolled up his right sleeve to reveal the tattoo on his risk that he was part of the mafia. They acknowledged the tattoo and let him enter the lieutenant’s base of operations.

He tried to keep his cool as he walked in at the front desk where another orc mobster wearing casual business attire, sat behind the desk with his feet propped on top of the workspace while reading a Playboy magazine. On the front cover was a secondary anime short purple-haired woman who was topless but was covering her bare double D chest with her arms in a seducing way. The leisure suit wearing orc came up to the mobster who was sitting behind the desk and noticed someone coming in but didn’t bother really paying attention.

“Yo, is Hulgom available at the moment?” the leisure suit wearing orc asked anxiously to the mobster sitting behind the desk.

“Who’s asking?” the mobster orc said flipping through the pages of the magazine rather than making eye contact.

“Tell him Ig is here and he would like to speak with him for just a minute.” Ig followed up with impatience growing inside him.

The mobster puts his feet down on the ground and closed the magazine then laid it down. He reached for the office phone on his desk and paged for Hulgom to pick up.

Meanwhile…

Upon the fourth floor in a nice-looking office, an orc that was slightly bigger than the rest in the building stomped around in his office muttering to himself and looked out the wide glass panel of his office that had the view of the street below. It was Hulgom who stood in the office and was thinking to himself about a situation he was in. A fraligator taxidermy rug laid in front of a black gloss luxurious desk that had a golden lamp on top, some paperwork, a desk answering machine and a heater pistol. There was a virtual style fireplace on the left wall with it set up in front of the exotic rug and two rich leather style chairs were set in front of the desk. The fireplace shown a burning fire that looked warm to sit in front of, but it was fake.  A rustic style wooden bar table with a cabinet was set beside the fireplace with liquor on top of it. On the left wall behind his workplace, was a big metallic freezer looking device that sat there and people who came in his workspace always wondered what that thing was containing. The right wall only had some filing cabinets that held documents. For lights in his office, they were sort of dim down then normal just for him to concentrate harder.

Hulgom is about seven feet tall and doesn’t have too much fat around his gut. His arms are muscular built from how long he has been a veteran of this family business. Tattoos cover both of his arms to tell the story of his life in crime. He wore jewelry involving three rings on his fingers with two on a hand and one on another, a thin golden chain hangs from his neck, and one of his tusks was replaced with a golden one. There was no hair on his head, but his genetics gave him long pointy ears with one of them pierced with a golden ring sticking out. His eyes were blue, and his skin was the normal shade of green like anyone would imagine how regular orc’s skin looked like. His clothing was a grey sports coat, red long sleeve dress shirt, black dress pants with a brown belt, shiny black business shoes, and black socks.

He decided to rest and sat in his brown executive leather chair, behind the desk. He looked at the bottled alcohol sitting atop the bar table but thought now was the time to stay sober and think clearer on what has been happening to his operations in Tiers four, five, and six. His hand rubbed his forehead due to him having a bad headache which made him grab a small container of pills out of his desk and he already had a glass of water sitting there. He popped the pill into his mouth and took a sip of water to wash it down. Ig finally came in into his office by opening the only door that you can get into Hulgom’s workplace. He grasped his hands together and had a serious expression on his face about Ig’s arrival.

Ig was stopped at the door by Hulgom's words that came out of his mouth.

"Ig, this better be important business that you want to share. If it's just a pathetic idea your offering to me then get out of my office and get to work!" Hulgom boomed in a demanding manner and waited for Ig's response.

"I-I swear Hulgom, this is important!" Ig said still in a nervous wreck trying to get here alive.

Hulgom stayed silent to hear what Ig had to tell him.

"I've got bad news; Neon Nights Club was raided single handily by some prime," Ig pronounced and shut his eyes tightly waiting for Hulgom's temper rain upon him.

"What the fuck did you just said to me. You better have mispronounced what you just fucking said to me now," Hulgom reacted but didn't burst out in anger but instead in a low angry tone that sent shivers down Ig's spine.

"Listen we tried stopping him the best we could, but that motherfucker had to be some skilled hitman or commando of something," Ig defended his point but saying the word "tried" built Hulgom's temper.

"Tried? TRIIIIEEEED!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE WORKING FOR YOU FUCKING PIECE OF DOG SHIT LAZ-YASS DUMB FUUUUCK!!!!!" Hulgom stood up and slammed his hand down on the desk with a threatening bang, screaming in rage with a deep threatening voice that made Ig know that he fucked up this time.

The lieutenant sat back down in his chair with a hard landing but still had a frustrated face.

"Please tell me that you got the money that our client was going to pay us tonight," Hulgom uttered his words in a tired manner then rubbing his forehead.

Ig gulped at the situation he was in for. He could tell a lie or the truth but if he told a lie, Hulgom would find out sooner or later. There was no choice but to say the truth or if he didn't, his boss would turn him into dog meat. Hulgom tapped his finger on the desk and waited for a response from Ig who stood there awkwardly.

"I'm going to repeat myself for one final time. Where… is… the… fucking… money," Hulgom growled slamming a fist on his desk causing the desk to quake from his powerful strength.

"W-well, I-I-I-I… Y-you, see… The prime took it…" Ig said in defeat with his hung low and awaited for the consequences.

Hulgom just sat there at his desk and was beyond anger to furious. This time, he didn't scream at the top of his lungs instead got up from his chair and turned away from Ig. He faced the window while standing next to his executive's chair. A dead silence fell upon them for two minutes but suddenly, Hulgom grabbed the chair next to him with a strong grip.

"GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Hulgom roared while throwing the chair with brutal strength and making it go airborne to crash into the wide window. Glass shattered, and the chair fell all the way down.  The chair got destroyed by impacted the ground so hard, but nobody got hurt.

This has been the final straw for Hulgom since his properties were being destroyed somehow by someone. His drug trade, weapons cache, then his recent club that was paying for protection. Ig stood there in shock and waited for what Hulgom had to say next. Hulgom turned around and faced him with a glare that he gave to everyone in when he was disappointed with them. The young orc wasn't too sure to say that he saved the camera feed for him to see who has been doing all of this. After that outburst, they could hear the wind howl softly because of the broken window.

"Ig, let me refresh your mind. I'm Hulgom. Hulgom goddamn Fisteye. Now, you may know this, but I don't settle with triers. I want doers. If I don't have the money you know what happens to me, yes?" Hulgom said to Ig while turning around to face him but the young orc was fearing for his life what he just got into and he shook his head as a no.

"My Boss will want to know why the hell I'm not doing my job but here's the thing. It wasn't my fault that I didn't get the money but your fault, Ig and I hate being blamed on situations that I never caused but today I'm not gonna kill you because I know you can do better than this." Hulgom explained to Ig which gave a little relief for Ig knowing that his life isn't going to end today.

"The good news is that I got the USB here that has the camera feed and you can finally see the fucking prick who's been causing this mess in the first place." Ig cheered up and walked over to Hulgom's desk then fiddled around in his jacket's pocket for the USB drive.

He took the USB drive out of his pocket and gave it to Hulgom's arm the reached out to grab the USB. Hulgom examined the device then grabbed a laptop out of his desk then set it up. The computer booted up quick and he mashed the driver into the USB port. He searched in his files to find the USB's data which didn't take him long. His finger clicked the mouse pad to open a recorded camera feed of the club. He fast forwarded it to bypass normal footage that was happening. Suddenly, he stopped the fast forwarding and played the video at a normal speed since Hulgom caught something strange on the camera feed. A masked killer walked out on the scene and began killing his men left to right. When the camera feed was about to come to an end, Hulgom watched the part when Jacket murdered the club owner than stole the money.

The orc lieutenant focused back to Ig after watching the footage. A bluish glow from the computer screen can be seen reflecting off the veteran orc's face.

"So, this is the bastard that has been ruining my properties then." Hulgom quoted while looking back at the frozen screen of Jacket about to walk out of the office with his money.

They couldn't really identify his face since Jacket's identity was covered up from his rubber chicken mask.

"This motherfuckin' chicken is definitely going to fry," Hulgom said in a deep menacing tone while standing at his desk, looking down at Ig who was two feet smaller than him.

"You gonna arm us and hunt down this piece of shit?" Ig questioned if Hulgom was going to give them orders to hunt down this prime.

"No, we still got work to do for our business. In the meantime, I'll put out a bounty on his head and warn my fellas about this asshole then we'll be on full alert for anyone looking shady. They'll probably rough up anyone who's wearing that exact letterman jacket. Most likely kill them too," Hulgom responded while pressing something on his answering machine to alert his bodyguards to come to his office.

"Well, that's all I had to say, boss. You know, I was a little worried that you were going to kill me and not forgive me," Ig chuckled but Hulgom didn't really carry the same attitude as he did but still had that same serious threatening look on his face which made Ig shut up.

"I'm going to go now and not bother you anymore Hul-" Ig was interrupted by the noise of his office door opening with two other orc mobsters walking in then shutting the door behind them.

Their entrance made Ig turn around to see who it was coming behind him. They stood on each side of Ig as if he was going to be escorted out of here but Mr. Fisteye had different plans.

"Hold him down boys on my desk and place his arm out," Hulgom commanded and the orcs followed the orders right away.

Ig had his left arm locked behind him by one mobster and the other stretched his right arm against the desk. Some items got pushed off the desk by Ig's body being forcefully pressed against the desk. This caused his emotions to be frightened at what was going on. He thought that his boss wasn't going to kill him.

"W-what is h-happening boss?" Ig feared for his life as Mr. Fisteye reached under his desk to grab something.

"You must suffer the consequences of this mess that I didn't cause," Hulgom explained while getting up from looking under his desk for an item.

The item in his hand was an orc steel battle-ax with wavy design markings on his blade. This ax didn't look like some of the modern ones that were made in the streets of Coruscant by blacksmiths but had an appearance of an ancient one. Ig had his head pressed against the desk with his eyes pointed away from the scene. It horrified him that he couldn't see what was going on but instead had his vision made to focus on a wall. They held him down tightly and these orcs were fairly strong with muscles bulging from their biceps. Ig struggled to try to break free but couldn't from being outnumbered. He whimpered in fear about this situation and felt like he was about to wet himself. Hulgom grabbed his right arm's risk and raised the battle ax high over the part of the flesh he wanted to cut.

With a swift brutal motion, Hulgom chopped off Ig's right hand like a butcher which caused him to do a blood-curdling scream from the intense pain his nerves sensed. His voice cried out in agony and he was in shock what just happened. Blood leaked out on the desk from his severed hand and his huge open wound. The orc mobster lets him go and Ig fell to the floor grabbing his risk and couldn't believe that his right hand is now gone. Mr. Fisteye kept the same serious facial expression through this event and grabbed a zip-lock bag from one of his desk drawers. He wrote on the bag with a sharpie he had on the desk and labeled it, "Ig". After that, he grabbed the severed hand than zipped it up in the baggie. Hulgom walked over to his freezer while Ig cried from what just happened.

He opened the freezer that made a hissing noise. The chilling mist escaping from the freezer when it opened. Hulgom put the hand inside with the rest of his hand collection he had going on for the victims that failed him. This was a reminder for them to do better next time if they didn't want to lose the other one. There was a rule the lieutenant made with his client and workers. It was called "The Three Strikes Rule". If they fail the first time, he would chop off one of their hands. On the second time, the last hand would be cut off. For the final mistake, they would be killed, and their corpse would be disposed of with an unmarked grave in Coruscant.

Mr. Fisteye closed the freezer that sealed shut and looked down at Ig who rest against one of his office chairs near the desk. The two orc mobsters stood there waiting for orders from their leader. Hulgom walked up to his desk and looked at his men with a commanding facial expression.

"Take Mr. Ig down to the infirmary pronto," Hulgom ordered and his men responded in an acknowledged nod.

They carry the sobering Ig out of his office and left him in peace. His laptop was still on and wasn't asleep yet for Hulgom. He opened the Dataverse from his computer and started typing out a bounty to put online. Only key typing could be heard in the room as he filled out a description and provided the screenshot of the masked Jacket that was on the camera feed. After two minutes, the lieutenant finished typing out the details of the bounty and hit submit for the public eye to see.

He walked away from his desk and grabbed a drink then stood in front of the virtual fireplace to watch the artificial recorded fiery flames while taking a shot of liquor.
