As soon as he reached the sub-level John went to his usual spot down one of the darkest alleys between two wooden buildings. He pulled out the knife and proceeded down the alley to the wall at the other end. Pulling back a hatch hidden on one of the adjacent buildings he unlocked the secret door and stepped inside. All around him were men of the one eared, broken nosed kind who stood watching the far door. He took his place and waited excitement growing in him. He waited there for several minuets before a large, fat man walked in, flanked by two guards. He stood there for a while, surveying the assembled men.
"Welcome, gentlemen to this job announcement session. I want all of you to aquire 100 pounds in two weeks. The first ten of you to complete this task and return here with the money will be awarded places in my gang. those who fail this task will find themselves strung up in the Jailhouse by their necks. Am I clear?" he said in a light conversational tone.
"yes sir!" came the reply as man in the room shouted together. they all filed out, with John near the front of the mob. they exited the alley way and headedfor their normal haunts to count their gold and prepare for the task ahead.
