Sign of the Past
Characters: Seth and Medusa Date/Time: August 25, 1:00 PM Location: Central park Zoo Rating: PG-13 Warnings: Language Summary: An associate of Seth's discovers something that forces him to see an expert on snakes.
Tyler's discovery of the object in Atlanta had him worried. He told him to bring it to New York ASAP. He had a guy check it out, and sure enough it was a giant snake scale, but of no species he'd ever seen. He recommended a Dr. Madeline Fletcher, who worked at the Central Park Zoo, for a more thorough evaluation.
Tyler, his closest subordinate, rode with him. Seth had changed a few things upon attaining power in the underworld. One was allowing membership to non-Italians. Some of the old-timers bitched, but frankly they couldn't do jack shit. Tyler tended to stand out in a crowd, a large African-American man, built like a truck. On paper he was Aldo's bodyguard. In practice he was his go-to man and the only person in the organization Seth trusted with the finer details of what was going on. On a more practical level, he was there because he had been present when the scale was discovered.
Upon arriving at the zoo, and asking where they could find Dr. Fletcher, made their way to her office. Tyler carried a massive suitcase in one hand that most would need two to lift, with him.
