[Starter] Freddy Bender
Jeff looked up from his paperwork as the door to the office closed. A tall slender man wearing a very expensive suit stood just inside flanked by two other men that may as well have been wearing signs that read THUGS tried to look intimidating. Looking down beside the desk he addressed the large black and tan head resting on a blanket. "Some guard dog you are." Lifting his head the giant Mastiff produced a slobber filled yawn, blinked, then let out a half hearted growl before setting his head back down. "No, it's ok, I got this. Don't trouble yourself. Really." Turning his attention back to the man at the door he quietly flipped three switches under the desk before resting his hands on top. Raising his voice slightly he politely inquired, "How can I help you?" In the back room several relays clicked in a rapid sequence and things began to happen. The front gate began to clkse and did so at a speed much higher than it's normal rate. The barbedwire that topped the concrete wall around the yard became electrified, much to the surprise of several birds and a few cats, and the door to the office became very solidly locked in place.
"You said you wished to speak with me Mr. Bender."
"I find that hard to believe since I have no idea who you are."
"I was told you wouldn't build my device unless I spoke to you in person."
"Oh you must be 'Da Boss' of that idiot with the doorbell fetish. He told you wrong. I said I don't work for people I don't know and if the boss wanted me to make something then he could come down and we would discuss it business man to business man. See, there is a difference there."
"That's another thing, I can't have people threatening my employees."
"Then train your monkeys not to be assholes. Now are you here for a reason? I have business to attend to."
"You are being difficult Mr. Bender."
One of the thugs started to step forward and Jeffery held up a hand palm out. "If any of you want to keep anything functional from the waist down I would stop right there." The thug froze in place, looking uncertain. "Like I told the last idiot, I don't make threats and I give one warning. Consider this your warning. If any of you come back here, if any of your 'employees come back here, they will never find you, they will never find any trace of you and they will never find your vehicals. You will just disappear. Looking the slender man dead in the eye he let all of the emotion drain from his face and voice. "Don't cross me. Ever. I DO know who you are. You're a small fish trying to make a big splash in what he believes is a big ocean. Remember there are sharks. If you force as to meet again you will die and never see it coming. Now get out" Jeff had to give the man credit, on the surface he kept his cool but he had seen the man's pupils flare and the bead of sweat slide down his cheek.
At a brusque nod from his boss one of the goons turned and tried to open the door only to find it wouldn't budge even when he hit it with his shoulder. Oh, did I forget to mention you were all locked in here with me? You may want to search the fence line, some of your thugs could be unconcious or injured around it depending on how dedicated they were. Remember what I said." Unbolting the door he nodded for them to leave.
