Girlboss, Mafia Style

For once she didn’t feel the need to put on a mask for one of these meetings. Usually it was standard that she stayed in disguise till she knew she could trust the person. However everything about what she’d heard seemed similar to her own just more specialized. Admittedly it was in an area that Karen was not as familiar with making her hopes to reach an agreement all the higher. After all the more people she could help the better.
The upper half of the bar for tonight was cleared out with orders to have all residents stay in the lower area for now. The hum of music carried it’s way up the stair case, along with the rowdy calls of patrons. She could tell that Drake was influencing the music as metal had been playing for the past twenty minutes straight.
“Kids are asleep, Hoppin is making sure they don’t try to sneak down. Takeshi can handle the down stairs solo right now since the bar is going to be dry. Where do you want me boss?”
“Here please.”
Karen answered looking towards the woman who was gently stepping down the stairs. The metal prone to cause ringing when stepped on too harshly. The tan woman simply smirked at the answer making her way over to her favorite spot which was behind the bar.
“You always want me as back up, but then tell me to hush half the time.”
“Only because you tease me through com links. Truly I think you’d be helpful here. I mean you were in the industry she handles, so I’d like you to give me cues if I need them.”
She noted watching the woman begin to prepare a drink. A drink which eventually ended up in front of Karen. She hadn’t asked but the martini was appreciated.
“Happy to vouch for ya.”
Kimiko nodded respectfully just before the door opened up.
