Shaker Down looked around his office lost in thought. He had called his right hoof pony and closet friend to his office to discuss a matter that had been on his mind. He had been distracted by other business and deals for too long. Now that things had settled down they could have a much needed meeting based on his future plans. "Time to move onto bigger things, this has been nice...but I need more. This isn't enough, not by a long shot." Shaker moved to take a swig from his bottle of liquor and leaned back in the plush chair he sat in. He could hear the hoof steps getting closer to his office and smirked. Right on time |

Backdraft entered his boss's office, face impassive as always. He gave Shaker Down a brief nod of his head before taking a position in front of the crimelord's opulent desk. Which sat in the center of his opulent office. The whole room was in stark contrast to the rest of the hideout, which Backdraft had always stressed should be kept strictly utilitarian. "You called me here, boss. What did you need?" |

"As dour looking as ever my old friend. But that's neither here or there. It's time we moved onto to more important things than Manehattan." Shaker down took another swig from the bottle on his desk and took a deep breath. His body slowly moved to get out of his chair, walking to the left side of the room. "I've been thinking on a few things. Mainly about the Inquisition. I think it's time we got involved. With all the things happening around Ponyville and the Resistance making noise, now seems like a good time to offer our services." The Mobster turned to face Backdraft with a familiar greedy, dark glint in his one working eye. The malicious grin on his face only hinted at his deeper intentions. "This is one step closer to what I want. We finally have enough control to make this move." |

So, Shaker was finally making his move. Backdraft had always known that Shaker's ultimate goal was to amass power for himself, and legitimate political power, backed by his not-insignificant personal power, was something more solid than even a mighty criminal empire. "I see. Do you think they will accept you simply because you wish to join? As it is now, the Inquisition doesn't care about simple crime, but if you call attention to yourself, they may investigate you more deeply. It could put everything at risk." |

"There is always risk with moves such as this. But I have prepared accordingly, my devotion to the Queen on top of the mountain will be genuine. I can also offer them information that I have squeezed out of this place also a few of my more interesting run ins. Along with a few twisted truths on some of these characters that have been sticking their noses in my business. Like those gryphons." Shaker moved over to the desk and opened one of the drawers with his magic. Gathering several large folders he smirked down at them. "Even offering them what I have built up seems like a fair trade, for now at least. A future investment, they can get a firm foothold in Manehattan like they never had before. We can get into their fold. From there we will work our magic, be good little soldiers until I get what I want." He turned to face his friend and poured a shot from his bottle. Sliding it over the desk to Backdraft while he retook his seat. "How does this sound so far? Do you think we can pull this off?" |

Backdraft levitated the shot in front of his face for a moment before slugging it back, feeling it burn on the way down his throat. A good burn. Shaker never skimped on his own luxuries, after all. He idly flipped open a few of the folders, which contained information on several of the personal enemies Shaker had made over the years. Enemies both old and new, he realized, as the last folder showed images of the two gryphons that had most recently been irritants to their operations. "It's dangerous, but..I think we can pull this off." |

Shaker smiled and closed his eye while Backdraft looked over the files. He could feel the gears in his friend's head turn and knew he could rely on him for the future plans. Shaker opened his eye and moved to open his other drawer to take out another bottle. "We are going to get as close as we can to Nightmare Moon. We need to in order to make this work. It's going to be along term job just like when we first started of in Manehattan." Shaker shook his head with a chuckle as he though back to that time. Years ago when they first crawled into this city it was just the two of them. They had left their old operation behind and decided to set up shop in the city. Quickly making their name by being incredible brutal, something that is now a trademark of theirs. "We may have to step up our game, need to be more ruthless in our dealings. I will not have our plans ruined now." |

Backdraft gave a decisive nod. He had followed Shaker Down for years, now, and saw no particular reason to stop. After all, they were each the only pony the other trusted, and that trust had served them very well over the years. "Of course. You have my full support as ever." |

As always Backdraft had his back not matter what he came up with. He was glad to have a pony like him at his back. Took his mind off worries and allowed him to focus on new things. Things such as getting another foothold in Canterlot so that he can make his play to getting in their good graces. "Make sure our operations and jobs here are all fixed up. There is a few things we need to deal with. Namely the gryphon kid and his friends. They may be young but they fancy themselves heroes. Need to show them how the real world works. Kids stepping in adult business need to learn there place." He moved to slide their files back into his drawer and took a deep breath. He felt a bolt of excitement run through him. It was time to move onto the main event and sure up all the little players on the board. "So what say you? Feel like going hunting?" |

Backdraft floated the files for the so-called heroes over to look through them again. After a brief perusal, he nodded and placed them back in the drawer. "They won't even know what hit them." |
