[attr="class","beck"]"nervous, raziel?"

a dodgy-looking bar awaits them. it sits nestled in the darkness of celadon, illuminated only by dim street lights. even from out here, rough sounds of chatter and laughter can be heard from inside.

he stops, then turns to look at the young scientist.

Nervous was an understatement for this, he definitely didn't belong here. This was a job for enforcers, not some science assistant. "No," he lies as is clear by the way his shaking hand is grabbing on his shirt. [break][break]

"Shouldn't you have called for someone.. I don't know... experienced? Or older?" they were going to a bar after all, "Or..." he trails off his last question someone who wasn't him? Maybe because it felt like Theo doesn't scold him as harshly as others that Raziel's had become slightly looser when it comes to his questions.

He gulped at the idea of that. He always knew that eventually he was going to be getting more field time, that he'd be leaving the relative safety of the labs, but everything feels too fast. "Right.. yes sir [break][break]

[attr="class","beck"]his eyes flick back over to the bar. it narrows at the sight of a drunkard bursting through the doors. thankfully, they seem to just be stumbling away.

"they owe us money so we're going to collect."

his eyes trail the drunkard until they're out of sight.

"they've always been difficult, so i'd be wary, raziel."

"Collection? Why not bring my brother along for this too then if its training? He does this type of stuff with mom so he'd be more knowledgeable than me," the questions can't help but come out because he is nervous. They were how he grounded himself, he knows better than to ask yet here he is. He doesn't seem to think much of the drunk that walks out as he looks toward the pokemon he had on his belt. [break][break]

"Should I have a pokemon out now? Or do we wait?"

[attr="class","beck"]as he's bombarded with questions, he simply reaches a hand over to raziel and places it on his head.

"calm down. you'll be fine."

his hand retracts as he starts walking towards the bar.

"wait. don't call one out unless we're in danger."

soon, they push through the doors and enter the bar.

their presence immediately causes the bar to quiet down. it becomes silent within seconds, and with the tone of room shifting, a lone figure rises from one of the tables.

"hammond."

Raziel visibly and almost violently flinches at the sudden touch. His arm had come up almost as if to protect himself from a blow that hadn't come. He bites his lip in some embarrassment as he puts his hand down as the other just seemed to give him a pat on the head and just ask him to calm down. "R-right sorry," is all he says his questions finally over as he did what he could to get his head in the mission not wanting to disappoint. He nods in understanding taking a deep breath. He thoughts about how he needs to be tough and just follows the Admin in silently nervous how everything went silent but he doesn't say anything. [break][break][break]

Hammond just smiles at their visitor, though he knew what they were here they wouldn't be easily intimidated. "Theo! baby, to what do we owe the pleasure?" he's playing dumb, "Take yer kid to work day or somethin'? I think ya got a cheating whore, he ain't look nothing like ya"

[attr="class","beck"]"funny."

instinctively, he takes a step to position himself in front of raziel. he eyes the gang leader but remains cautious of everyone else.

"your payment's overdue, hammond. pay up."

"Awww come on don't be like that, ya just got here. Come sit, have a drink let the kid have fun with a game of pool or something," he gestures over toward the corner of the bar where said table was, even had darts! Though more important to the boss it had some of his men around. "Can't do good business without a couple in ya," he shows off his own glass as if to prove a point.

[attr="class","beck"]he knows raziel is smart enough to simply waltz off to play a game of pool so he doesn't even bother to look at him.

"you're wasting my time, hammond."

overconfidence has him blinded to their situation. he takes a step towards the gang leader, separating from raziel.

"i won't ask again."

Hammond steps back, 'intimidated' by the taller man "Awww come on it's just a few thousand," it's gone way higher than a couple now. "Give us a lil' more time, in fact I know some people," he smacks the other's chest playfully, "If ya let us we could get some money in like an hour, teach yer cheating lady a lesson while we're at it if ya get me."

[break][break][break][break][break]

The grunt says nothing just stays behind Theo obviously worried. They were definitely out numbered and some seemed to be waiting for some symbol from their boss. Raziel just keeps his eyes forward as the Admin gets closer toward the boss feeling that he should be paying attention to him. Though because he is focusing on Theo he doesn't notice one of the grunts coming toward him until its too late. A pain cry escapes him as Raziel is struck with a pool stick in the back of the head knocking him down.

[attr="class","beck"]too distracted by the gang leader, he doesn't see the situation escalating. the pained cry has him turning his head back, eyes widen, and he's reaching into his blazer for a pokeball.

"raziel!"

but a strong grip stops him. he turns back to see a punch being thrown that strikes him across his jaw. it disorientates him enough for him to stagger back. he scrambles, attempting to recover as hammond approaches.

Damn it damn it damn it. Raziel is cursing having been caught off guard. He was suppose to be the back up here and he got distracted. Even worse he got Theo worried about him for him to be open up for an attack as the man who struck him was quick to grab him by the hair and pull him up again. Raziel attempts to grab one of his pokeballs but the other grunt is quick to grab his arm harshly giving him a little 'nuh-uh.' as he's pulling hard enough that he if pulled more he's sure he'd break it.

[break][break][break][break]

Hammond just laughed as his fist landed on the other face. "You Rockets think yer all that, and yet here ya are on the floor now at my mercy," the mob boss would aim a kick at Theo's ribs. "Talking down at us," Hammond would attempt to get on top of the other to prevent him from getting up. "Killing my men when we couldn't pay up the first time," he's going to try and land another punch, "Thinkin' yer such tough shit that you can come in here with a brat and just demand, but I won't be walked on forever" he's going to go for another punch.
