Stage one

Despite his inqusitive nature, Dirk returned to his room with the ball tucked
unseen beneath his jacket to his room. Once inside, he locked the door and sat
on his bed, gazing into the ball. It did not fill with its pink smoke and light
again, but Dirk couldn't put it down anyway.
"Lights." Dirk called and the lights came on.
Dirk's room had been trashed and in big red letters was painted onto the wall.
"BE READY TO PAY THE PRICE"
A few corridors away, Fingers and this odd looking man who looked like an
accountant were discussing things.
"What was the point of that?" Fingers enquired.
"We want this doing right." The man said pushing his small round glasses up his
nose. Then he ticked something off on his clipboard.
The accountant was actually Big Ron's main planner, if Ron wanted revenge on
anyone, he called upon this man and Ron's enemies were either found cowaring in
a corner or just never seen again.
"So what's stage two then?" Fingers asked.
"We wait." The acountant said. "Wait for parnoia to get the better of Bell and
Walker so that they trust no one and then we move to stage three."
"What's stage three?" Fingers yet again asked.
"Now that would be telling."
