The man burst out laughing. He slumped over into his throne once more and regarded the girl.
"You think we'll let you go? Bzzzt! Wrong! You can't leave now."

Armelia sighed. She opened her hand and fire formed. "I'm going to have to fight my way out of here, aren't I?"

The man watched as the fire suddenly sizzled out. He waved a finger in the air as if silently scolding her.
"Nu-uh-uh! Sorry little mage,but magic doesn't work here."
He smirked as several people grabbed her and chained her wrists and ankles together.

Armelia glared at him. She was curious what would happen when Mariana was told Armelia came to the slums. She thought for a second. It was probably best that she didn't find out, otherwise these people would die a very painful death. Mariana was terrifying when angry.

The man put a finger to his chin as he thought. He flashed a smile at the girl his eyes twinkling.
"Who should we send the ransom note too?"

Armelia sighed. This will be interesting. "The Corengrato family."

The crowd around them murmured uneasily. "Did she say Corengrato?!" The murmuring suddenly ceased as the man stood up and held his hand in a quieting gesture. He looked quite pale.
"The...Corengrato family? The one with that weird demon girl?"
He questioned nervously.

The man flinched at the mention of the mafia boss's name. He backed up and sat on the bottom step of the stairs leading to his throne. The crowd began to chuckle.
"Dammit! I can't afford another run in with that chick..."
He groaned loudly.

Armelia was slightly confused. Why were so many people afraid of Xenia? "Even if you don't send a ransom note the maids at my sister's mansion know I came here. If I'm not back in a few more hours they will tell Xenia."

With a snap of his fingers,two thieves briskly walked over and un-cuffed her. The man grinned at her and slumped back into his throne as the crowd went back to whatever they were doing before; card games,telling stories,showing off their loot they had lifted.
"You can go now kid."
Caesar chuckled.

Armelia smiled. She was trying not to laugh at how quickly he gave in. She turned and started to leave. She saw a blueprint of this place in Mariana's files so she knew where to go. She stopped at the door and turned to him. "My necklace and bracelet. May I have them back?"

The man stared at her like she was stupid.
"Your wealthy. You don't need them you know."
He smirked at a woman standing nearby. She had donned the stolen jewelry with a mean grin.

Armelia sent him a death glare. "It has sentimental value. I guess you wouldn't understand what that means, though." She saw a knife nearby and picked it up. She quickly threw it at the woman and the knife cut her face and hit the wall behind her. Armelia turned and left, wishing she could have burned that grin off of her face.

The woman had dodged the knife with ease. She pulled the knife from the stone and chuckled as she briskly walked away to join her friends in the corner. Caesar frowned. No one dare go against the thieves. Maybe he would off the girl next time they met? With a sigh of content he slumped into his chair with a smile.
