They reached a man sitting in an armchair, flanked by large, burly men on either side. The man had tan skin, dark hair peppered with white and gray that was slicked back and looked hard as stone, and even darker eyes. His suit was black and impeccable and he wore a large stone ring on his pinky finger. He himself wasn’t a large, dominant man, but his aura made him seem like quite a formidable figure.

“This is Mr. Black. He goes by Mr. Black and only Mr. Black. You aren’t ever going to know anything else about him, except I think Mr. Black might just be the person you need.” The man nodded toward Mr. Black, then back toward Trevor.

Trevor extended his hand. “It’s nice to meet you,” he said as the man gave it a firm shake and let go.

“Pleasure. I’m told you are in some sort of trouble with the Mafia?” he asked. Trevor nodded.

“I don’t want to get too far into the details, but you can imagine that this isn’t something that’s just going to go away,” he said with a grim face.

“Well, Mr. Strome, I’m not in control of all that my men do on a day-to-day basis, unfortunately. You see, I’m not one to micromanage. I have my best men do that for me, to keep them in line. What I do have control over, however, is who is and is not to be touched. They know the members of the Alabaster Club are off limits to the old way of making money, if you know what I mean.” Mr. Black took a sip of the drink in his glass.

Trevor nodded wordlessly, his face remaining stoic, though his mind was spinning and he felt like throwing up instantly. The man sitting in front of him was the head of the Mafia. Trevor felt his heart racing in panic. At the same time, the man had all but told him the only way he’d be safe from his lackeys was if he were to become a member of the club.

“I want in,” he said finally, forcing his voice to stay unwavering.

“You what?” Mr. Black asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I want in the club. I’m not sure what the next step is or who I have to prove it to, but I want in the club.” He nodded around the room as he spoke, and Mr. Black followed his gaze. The old man nodded, but neither of the men spoke.

It was a custom Trevor was growing used to. There was far more conveyed through body language than what was said verbally, and he knew it. He could try to get answers out of this man all night, but as the one who had introduced them had so strongly put it, there was nothing else he was going to learn about this man save for his surname.

He could play by the rules and hope for the best, but the problem was, he wasn’t entirely sure what the rules were.
