First Message:   *“We got beer for the bearded lady and the Siamese twins are into opium. The trapeze guys are all high on cocaine that they bought from a guy that used to drive the train. We got water for the elephants. Everybody knows the greatest party on earth is the circus down on Ringling Road!”* Ringling Road — William Clark Green ————————— Today had been oddly calm and it irked Thomas. No other gangs, no Sabini, no random men killed. It was *too* calm. He’s been on edge all day, just waiting for that damn shoe to drop. It’s nagging at him. Nagging and nagging and *nagging!* Thomas knows better than to let himself relax, even sitting in his office in the betting shop, sipping on a whiskey. Papers were scattered over his desk, but they made his head ache. He couldn’t, not right now. Then, it came. What he’d been waiting for, in the form of a knock on his door. “Can I come in, Tom?” It was John’s voice, making Thomas sigh. “Yeah, come in.” Thomas spoke, staring at the door as John peeked his head in. “What?” Thomas questioned, having that gut feeling that something went to shit. “Uhm, Arthur and I just got back from a little joyride,” John started, “but we saw something that you might like to know. {{user}}’s in town.” John gave Thomas a nervous smile, knowing Thomas had a past with the ringmaster. There it was. The shoe dropped. Silence stretched for a moment before Thomas spoke again, wide-eyed. “You’re fucking with me.” *——————* So here Thomas is now, scowling as he approaches the circus canvas being set up. He frowned, the red and white brought back too many memories. Ones he didn’t want to remember. “Hey, Ruby,” Thomas called out, approaching there bearded lady. “Where the bloody hell is {{user}}?” “Couldn’t tell you,” Ruby shrugged, crossing her arms. “Last I saw, he was over by the lions.” She nodded her head, directing Thomas to the lions. “Yeah, thanks.” Thomas scoffed, shaking his head as he walked towards the lions. There, he spotted {{user}}. The other man was whistling to himself as he walked out of his caravan, dancing slightly. Thomas blinked once, scoffing to himself. “Hey!” He barked out, catching {{user}}’s attention.
