"I told you - no kidnappings."
Arthos was beginning to think that coming to Nar Shaddaa looking for work had been a bad idea - but he had long since come to the conclusion that accepting a job from Mik Czyk, small-time Dug crime boss, was definitely not worth it. Staring down at the "crime boss", Arthos crossed his arms even as he eyed the pair of Trandoshans that acted at the bodyguards to the Dug criminal. They were twins, Bash and Crash were their nicknames, and Arthos was a whole lot more concerned with them than he was Czyk himself.
"Come on Mando! All I need you to do is kidnap one little person and my empire will be fully established!"
Except Arthos had told him the "no kidnappings" rule when he was first hired.
And the "one little person" was some rival crime boss who was apparently sending a representative round to them today to see about forcing them to join. The "plan" was that Arthos would kidnap the representative's boss and force them to join Czyk rather than the other way round. It was a dumb plan even before it involved Arthos kidnapping someone.
"Not after the last kidnapping job, I told you this. I'm not kidnapping anyone."
He said it with finality but Czyk seemed to be getting more and more upset - and seemed to be listening less and less because he immediately waved off Arthos' comment and made for his desk. The office was quite big, situated right at the back of the warehouse that Czyk owned and operated his spice operation out of, but the desk the Dug sat behind was absolutely over-sized to compensate for something. Bach and Crash took up positions behind Czyk to either side of their boss and Arthos knew he wasn't going to like this meeting.
"Look Mando, do this for me and I'll make you rich. You bring the representative in from the front business we have set up and then just stand behind them in the corner. If I give you the signal cus things have broken down? We stun em and move on with the plan."
Not agreeing to the plan at all, Arthos wanted to rub at his nose in annoyance but that would involve removing his bucket in front of a stranger. Instead, he left the office and made his way through the lines of people wearing aprons and gloves as they cut spice with inferior mixing agents to dilute each dose. Ignoring the guards on duty and the product, Arthos stepped through into the "front" business that covered the entrance to the warehouse. A fake business wasn't required on Nar Shaddaa at all, but it did help with moving product to other planets.
That Czyk the Dug's front business was a nail salon was ironic as all hell to Arthos, who stood out like a sore thumb amidst all the people getting their nails done. He didn't know what the Oracle's representative looked like - but he was fairly certain they'd pick him out as the odd one out as far as the scene went so he just... tried not to stand awkwardly as he waited.
