>"But you might alsso know, ssat while mes filles sstruggled on sse
>sstreetss, I wass away." He paused. "I 'ad to go and meet ssomeone." The
>way he said 'someone' made it clear that that 'someone' was not an
>ordinary person. "Now ssat I am back, I ssee ssat a lot 'ass 'appened in
>sse sstreetss of Gossam. Much ssat mes filles didn't notisse. Sso I need
>information. Why 'ave sse tongss invaded Darktown, what 'appened in
>Chinatown, what iss sse Family up to?" He leaned forward. "And mosst
>importantly, 'ave you any idea, where sse Rattlessnake Bitchess 'ave
>slissered to?"

Panic grinned and leant back in his chair. Maurice noticed a change in the boys expression as he spoke, perhaps a return of his confidence based on what he was being asked. Before he answered, the young man lit a cigarette and took a long drag.

"OK, I am pretty sure I can help you out with most of that!" he took another drag and leaned back into he table. "The Tongs first. They came into your Burgh looking for the Snake Bitches. The Ahua Can as they like to be called. Somehow Akril got to know that the Ahua Can wanted the same dingus he was after. I don't know who told them but it caused some tension. Akril sent his rice boys into darktown looking for your sisters."

He smiles knowingly around the cigarette, clearly enjoying revealing the information.

"That was the start of it, and Titus was the one finished it. While the Tongs were all over town looking for the Ahua Can and getting pretty badly messed up by your boys, Titus eighty-sixed Akril and his inner circle of wyrm bait. I hear it was a truly impressive smackdown. Now big T is the Khan. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Family now owns Chinatown and Titus Bane is now Titus Khan. I think the title suits him."

He pauses, taking the cigarette from between his lips to sip his drink. More a slug than a sip really.

"Now, the next bit. Can't be as much help on that. The Ahua Can are really fucking off the radar with whatever funky mojo they got going on. But after your boys and the boys in blue handed the sharks, the Ahua Can minions, their arses they must be licking their wounds. Best I can tell you is that they don't like change very much, so I doubt they've moved very far."

He finished the cigarette and immediately lit another one from its dying embers.

"Sorry!"
