Ronnie's modus operandi was to befriend a gullible businessman at a hotel bar, drug him, and then pretend to help the businessman to his room, where h...e and Jermain robbed the unconscious victim of everything worth stealing.Ronnie looked around the bar, and certain that no one was watching, he emptied a small vial of powder into Danny's drink. The strong sedative instantly dissolved and within a few minutes of Danny returning from the toilet and gulping down his drink he was unsteady on his feet. Smiling and quite satisfied with how he looked, she said, "You're going to be fantastic. This is so great. You're going to be beautiful." She kissed him on the cheek. He was really shaping up. Even better than she thought he would. "Why don't you guys check it out?" She pointed to the mirror on the wall.

Sure, I'd gone to a few school dances the preceding year, and I met a girl at one as a kind of informal date. But I'd never done the whole "pick her up, do something, take her home, dare I say kiss her goodnight" dating thing. Even at the dances, I was way too inhibited to let loose and really enjoy myself. I'd usually hang around the edges with the other guys who couldn't dance and spent the time trying to pretend that we really didn't care. What a lie. We cared a lot; we just didn't know what. I saw that he carried none of our armour or weapons so I assumed he was sold out."You would not believe that Horatius. He saw the steel and coveted it like a man does a beautiful woman. He and his men bought all they could. I think they borrowed on what they would make for months to come."I asked, "Did he accept our deal?" He certainly did. The short sword was a hit with him and we got the use of three boats. We only got to three more forts before there was only a few knives left. The last fort.
