Alexie spent the next hour checking about the "medallion of Zulo" on the internet. He was very impressed that this apparently magical artefact had come into his possession. Alexie was both an ambitious and ruthless man. He realised this was his big chance to improve his situation.
First though he needed to check that what he had read was actual fact. He needed to test the medallion now safely secured in his safe. He didn't want to wait till the morning to test it once more on the girl "Mike" who had been bought in. He also wasn't game to test it on himself. He retrieved the medallion and went to find a suitable subject thinking that perhaps one of the newly arrived girls might be suitable, he had briefly inspected the new arrivals earlier in the day and had been impressed.
He went across to the safe-house to check out the new arrivals, perhaps one of them could be enhanced?
.......
Alexie did not like what he found in the safehouse. He heard a girl sobbing as he entered. What he found was Dmitry and Oskar, the same henchmen who had found "Mike" had apparently initiated one of the new girls into her new life as a prostitute.
The girl was young, naked and lying on a bed. The two goons were caught trying to hurriedly dress having heard Alexie enter.
Alexie fumed. He had not given permission for this. Who did these guys think they were? He recognised the girl from earlier. She was a spectacular beauty from the East somewhere. He recalled she had no English and didn't understand Russian either.
Dmitry, realised he was caught "Boss! The girl was disobedient. Wouldn't do as she was told. We had to teach her a lesson"
Alexie realised he had just found two test subjects for the medallion. Better yet the test he had in mind might tie up some loose ends.
He calmly walked up to the two goons who looked guilty. Sentence was passed. Alexie was an expert hand to hand fighter. A thump to the brachial artery had each of the thugs prone and unconscious on the floor.
He reached for the medallion with his gloved hand.
