Title - 134: "The Consortium"
Subtitle - xvi. "The Catch"

(From behind his lowered shutter, Mr. A gestures to the crowd by raising a hand.)

Mr. A: Ladies and gentlemen, please. Control yourselves. What exactly do you mean, my friend?
Pain: Well, I can see why everyone else is here. Mr. Grünveldt and his five musketeers would be good to have on board, rather than going against them. Heck, I can even see why you'd invite the ginger hunchback and his friend with the fake moustache over there; I'm sure that a pair of mad scientists have their uses.

(Dr. Gyrode fumes at the accusation, blurting out and interrupting the conversation.)

Gyrode: My moustache is real!

(Someone in the crowd yells out. Gyrode turns to look angrily in the direction of the voice.)

Voice: Prove it!

(Gyrode plucks out a moustache hair and stabs Daniel Bleu in the face with it, much to the appreciation of everyone in the room. The hair gouges a slash in Bleu's face, causing blood to rush down his cheek.)

Bleu: AAAGH! MY FACE!

(Jason Mallet is shocked by this.)

Mallet: Holy shit!

(At the head of the table, Mara facepalms. In his seat, Pain raises an eyebrow.)

Pain: Jesus Christ! I did not see that coming!

(He shrugs and gets back to the conversation with Mr. A.)

Pain: Easiest tenner I ever lost. Anyway, as I was saying, I'm the only arms dealer in the room.
Mr. A: And?

(Pain points to Jason Mallet sat next to him at the table.)

Pain: You've got an arms manufacturer sat right here next to me. I know his guns are shit-

(Another voice from the crowd calls out. Mallet angrily yells back in the general direction of where the voice came from.)

Voice: -Too right!
Mallet: Hey! Fuck you!
Pain: (ignoring the interruption) -but he's a source of guns right there. I'm worried that you've got me here because "that Mr. Pain, he's on the lower end of the scale, we'll get Detulux to cheaply supply all our guns for all the crims that sign up to the Consortium".
Mr. A: My friend...I assure you that you have been invited because of your formidable criminal enterprise.
Pain: But...?
Mr. A: What "but"?
Pain: But...?
Mr. A: ...Well...
Pain: Go on...
Mr. A: ...It would be nice if you could offer a discount to all Consortium members on your weaponry.

(Annoyed, Pain stands from his chair, fists resting on the table.)

Pain: Captain, we're leaving!
