Group 2, Part I
Eddy Smalls and Vidar Brock were an unlikely pair. They had been thrown together in their attempt to join a small, local street gang, the Raven's Claw. Neither knew the other, but they both knew Zuul and fenced their ill-gotten gains at his ramshackle, musty old pawn shop. Through him, they met a shadowy character named Durgin, who proposed they petition the Claw to enter its network for protection and information. A few rights of initiation later, they had arrived at their final test: the burglary of an Upper Ward residence.
Durgin made a suggestion, and after checking it out, the two decide the two-story house is as good as any. After all, Durgin said a little birdy told him the occupants were all away on a trip. A jeweler's home should bring a good take.
Like sewer rats creeping along the walls, Eddy and Vidar stick to the shadows and narrow allies between the houses until they arrive at their destination: beneath a window at the southeast corner.
