The grand ball
#96
A pyramid...Yeah. Ryker was right. Yun was not that old. Maybe 10 years older than him at most. His dad was shot when he was a teenager- by Yun herself, he didn't forget. But he doubted a woman in her early 20s was running an organization like this, what with judges and DAs and cops and anyone else as part of it.

Which was a roundabout way of saying that the organization had been around a while and she had only come to head it (if she truly did) in the last few years.

So....there was a structure here. Getting rid of Yun wasn't enough. His mind froze, realization coming over him, and he felt sick. Blackmarkets always sprang up. Criminal organizations too. Every culture. Every country. As much as it pained him, it was a fact. That didn't mean he rolled over, gave his city to them and shrugged it off as life.

But this was far more complex. "Yeah. Makes sense. Listen. Learn. Plan."
Aside from getting rid of Yun, more was needed. Peace and order was the most important thing. Especially for the little people, those who had no voice or power. The higher ups, the assholes at this party, he didn't give a shit about them, not really. 'Justice' was something they purchased as easily as they did summer homes.

A lot to think about. To be honest, he felt a bit queasy with that realization, as if he were compromising something important. But there didn't seem to be any easy solutions. Ryker was speaking when a woman who had been tripping her way on the balcony ran into him. Ivan couldn't help but laugh, even though Ryker was pissed.

The woman looked familiar, though Ivan couldn't place her. Time to go into cop mode. "You ok ma'am?"
He steadied her gently. Her date- definitely a paid escort- looked surprised and didn't know what to do. Ivan rolled his eyes. He lead her inside and to a free table. "Here, have some water,"
channeling without thinking and snaring a glass from a tray to the woman. Her eyes widened and he realized what he'd done.

Well, it's not like it's a secret. not now. He smiled. The underlying irritation was still there, but for some reason he felt a bit better. Having a plan- or at least the promise of one- seemed to be enough. He winked at her and gave Ryker a smirk.
