The Phantom Pepsi (Lupin/Niccolo interactoin)

Lupin was waiting outside of a warehouse in Suzie Q. He heard rumors about a man who would do anything for an ice-cold Pepsi. Lupin was actually given orders from his older brother Roi to meet up with this man in front of this particular warehouse. Because Pepsi man's payment was in the warehouse. That's right baybee a warehouse filled with Pepsi. Just to do a job for the small town of Selene. Lupin has an envelope of what the job is and information on the reward.

Lupin has already taken a look at what the job was. There was a rich snob spreading misinformation about Selene, particularly that Selene was planning an invasion on Endymion, luckily for Selene, this information is only a rumor at the moment, but this person needs to go otherwise the supplies that were promised won't be delivered. The reward Roi was offering didn't sit well with Lupin, in addition to the warehouse filled with Pepsi, this man would also get an extremely rare version of a Pepsi called a Phantom Pepsi. A rare Pepsi that had a secret ingredient that would make it stand out from normal Pepsi with reports of it being way better than a normal Pepsi.

Lupin was starting to wonder if Pepsi man will show up. "We have a warehouse filled with Pepsi and nothing to show for it. I wonder how did Roi contact this person in the first place?" Lupin now awaits for this person.

Damn, that offer was too good to be true, but Nico decided to bike on down there regardless. Some real fruit soda lookin' kid was standin' out there. Could he be the meeter-upper? Pepsi Man slowed to a halt in front of him. "Hey, you the guy? What this job you need done?" Hopefully it wasn't something outrageously difficult. Pepsi is good, but he hated hard work. Still, he had to work for Pepsi, so he'd at least hear him out.

Lupin saw the icey idiot himself. and holy shit this was not what he was expecting. But feck it if Roi hired him he must be good. Lupin then responded to the man. "No the man who hired is out of the city at the moment, he wanted me to talk to you. My name is Lupin. I am here to tell you about your mission." Lupin then handed the envelope he was holding to Niccolo.

"While all the information is in the note I am required to tell you your mission." Lupin then did some stretching started to explain the mission. "There is a man in this district named Bijou, a rich 28-year-old man who has been going around saying stuff such as Roi Topplson the leader of Selene is going to invade Endymion with an army of psyche terrorists since the man who hired you doesn't want that. He wants you to track down this man."  

Lupin then showed a picture of the man to the Pepsi man.

Bijou:

Lupin then went into the warehouse quickly while the Pepsi man looked at the photo and hauled a box to him. "The guy who hired you always wanted to give this box of 30 cans of Pepsi to help stay motivated for this task, He prefers that you bring Bijou alive. Just bring him to me and the warehouse is yours." Lupin seemed quite serious about this. He wants to stop a potential war but he doesn't want anyone to die. Lupin would hope this man would not instantly resort to killing. That would suck alot.

So this Roi fella just wanted to stop some slander about him. Made sense. Nico gave the photograph a look over as he listened to Lupin speak. "That's simple enough. I'll see to it, alive, just like you want." After receiving the box of Pepsi, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flip phone. "Hmm... I appreciate it. I'll give you a call on that on delivery." Hopefully this Lupin was smart enough to destroy it afterwards. "Just one thing, Lupin. I don't care what you do with him. Just remember that whatever you choose, the consequences are yours to deal with. If you let him go, it's up to you to make sure he doesn't run to the police. Whatever happens, my name better not come up, just so we're clear." Nico started to peddle out of the alley. "But yeah, I'll do it. He'll be here alive just as requested, so if that's it, I'll get going." He'd never heard of Selene or Roi, but that kid didn't seem like a gangster. Nico got the feeling Lupin would either try and cancel the deal or need his help again after he did whatever he was planning. He didn't seem like killer, and letting someone go after kidnapping them would end terribly nine times out of ten. Regardless, he was getting paid, maybe again if more work came up, so it was all good.

Lupin nodded his head as he listens to Niccolo. "Understood, I wanted to ask you the same thing. If you get caught please don't mention my name to the police." Lupin figured this was fair, a favor for a favor. Lupin takes the flip phone and makes a comment. "I always wanted a flip phone when I was younger, they look so damn cool, these touch phones doesn't have the same feel you know." Lupin was in awe of the flip phone, such as sexy looking device just tossed away for being obsolete. Triboulet commented on the phone because why wouldn't he. "You need to destroy this as soon as your done."

Lupin heard Triboulet and then decided to tell Niccolo then next part of the plan. "There will be a van here by the time you get back and I would like your help tying up Bijou, can't have him running to the cops. He is going to answer to Roi for what he has done or tried to do. Thankfully no one believes Bijou yet. I am planning to keep it that way."

Lupin then had a weird question he decided to ask Niccolo.
"Hey can I ask you a question, why do you like Pepsi so much?" Lupin was genuinely curious to know. is Pepsi really that good that its a good substitute for money? Lupin is now left wondering.

"Of course. We'll worry about our own asses." The Pepsi man did agree in regards to the epicness of flip phones. "Yeah, I guess. Got a certain feel about 'em. Anyways, chances are he'll already be restrained by the time I bring him in. Can't exactly kidnap someone willingly."

When asked that glaring question, he took a moment to think. "Cause when I crack one open, I can take it easy, and that's all I wanna do with my life. Well, with that said, I'm gonna start looking in to this Bijou guy." As he said that, he smiled and started  peddling off. That Bijou sounded like a prick, so Nico didn't want to waste time bringing him down, and more importantly, gettin' that Bepis.

Lupin smiled back at Niccolo and said to him "Thank you." as Niccolo left. Lupin hoped this would go according to plan, Well since he got Pepsi man hunting down Bijou its time for Lupin to organize the next phase of the plan. Lupin started to use the flip phone he got from Niccolo. Lupin decided to call Frank, a man that Roi had met in the desert, Lupin didn't know much about Frank, but he knew Roi trusted him enough to be let in on big operations like this.

Lupin then spoke into the phone. "Frank it's me, I need you to bring the van, yeah were fetching him." Lupin would then close the phone and leave, his business was done here, there is no need to wait here any longer. Lupin got on his pogo stick and started to bounce, hopefully without needing to think about this until Niccolo called. With that tidy conclusion Lupin went on his merry way,
