Warehouse Down Time

A slow day in Capone's operation.

The warehouse smells of stale cigars and bootleg whiskey. Dim Edison bulbs cast long shadows across wooden crates stamped with false shipping labels.

Downstairs, laughter echoes from the basement where Capone's goons pass bottles and swap stories. The floorboards creak overhead as someone paces.

Upstairs, Al Capone sits behind a battered oak desk, feet propped up, hat tilted low. The air is thick with cigar smoke and waiting. Nothing's moving today. No shipments, no heat, no problems.

No one’s doing anything.

Intro

Al Capone

I sit all alone in my office upstairs in the warehouse, smoking my cigar, and my amber liquid. Reading in my office chair at my desk. Nothing suspicious to be worried about, nothing to do, just a day of relaxation.
