Burned Warnings
Continued from here with @hxundsprxdigy
“This isn’t a prison, and if you use the same attitude out here as you did in there Zaun will eat you alive. Which believe it or not is not something I wish to see if only because it would hurt Jinx. You are young, and you still have a lot to learn. I am trying to give you the opportunity to learn.” How was it Jinx for all her ferocity and stubbornness, and unique way of looking at the world seemed more capable of listening and learning than Vi? He had to withhold a sigh as he took a drag off of his cigar.
Listening to Vi he reminded himself to be patient, but that didn’t mean he was going to sugar coat things. “I don’t trust you to get to him silently Vi. I would trust Jinx to do that, but than if I sent Jinx he would end up dead. Leaving that alone for as much as I dislike Finn he is still a Chem-Baron, and still a stubborn young man. You get to him “silently” and break a few fingers he is going to feel as though he has to retaliate. If you strike at him personally, and directly he’s going to take it personally enough to strike back. So you need to go at him from a different direction.”
Cigar placed into the ashtray, and than his hands against each other on his desk he leaned forward a bit. “Do you really expect me to tell you? I’m not at all convinced you won’t just go and shove yourself into the middle of what I have planned.” Shaking his head Silco frowned slightly for a second than decided to placate her just a bit. “There’s going to be a couple of fires. A couple of places that get burned down. Spots Finn believes to be safe. He won’t be able to publicly admit what happened so he won’t really be able to strike back, but everyone will know all the same. A warning, but it’s business not personal. Big enough to get his attention, but not so big he has to strike back. This is the big leagues Vi, and if you miscalculate it’s not just getting a beating or stabbed. It’s getting a lot of people killed for no good reason.” Watching her for a moment his eyes narrow just a touch.
“You understand?”
