Russel grinned wolfishly, leaning up against the mausoleum. "But obviously you know him. Putting you in probable connection with the mafia. And I've heard of someone who matches your..." he paused, giving the girl a once over look. "...description."
He stuck out a hand. "My name is Russel. Nice to meet you, Ms. Xenia."

Xenia shook the man's hand firmly before pulling away quickly. The hound had ceased his growling but now watched the man even more intently than before, it's gleaming red eyes tracking his every move.
"Well you got that right. Who do you get your information from?"
She asked pointedly.

"I got myself some friends in high places." He paused, and looked over his shoulder. "And, if you were to take a look at my posse, you would see I also have some friends in low places. Six feet under, usually. I was filming these guys for the internet before you walked up."
He stood up strait again, and turned. "You can come watch, if you want. Just make sure you have a leash on Slobberpuss there." he said, pointing in a mockingly affectionate way at Aldo.

Xenia blinked down at Aldo, who looked back up at her in an endearing fashion that said, "I'll be good." She looked back up at Russel and gave a crooked smile.
"He won't be any trouble. I promise."
She said with a shrug.

"Excellent!" Russel replied, turning and clapping his hands over his head. The entirety of the group of corpses realigned themselves to dance while facing the mausoleum. One of the corpses snatched the camera and boombox from the headstone that Russel had been sitting atop. The corpse brought them over to where Russel was standing, somehow managing a smile, even though it's lips had withered away a quarter of a century ago, before returning to the group.
Russel hit the play button, and Thriller blasted out of the speakers once more, with the undead dancers moving in perfect time to the music.

Xenia watched the dance, somewhat perplexed. Was this what this scary looking man did with his free time? What the ********? She spared the man a few startled glances before looking down at Aldo... who had disappeared. Only a puddle of fluorescent drool was left where the dog had been, and a small trail which would presumably lead her to him. The one eyed girl stared at Russel, and slipped away.
She found Aldo in a corner, munching on what appeared to be a fibula.
"Aldo! Bad dog!"
She growled. The dog looked up at her reprehensibly before continuing his munching.

Russel looked at the dog, wondering where the bone had come from. His unasked question was answered when he saw the hole in the side of the stone mausoleum, dripping with fluorescent drool.
"s**t," he said, knowing just who's bone it was. It was one of the reasons he had stopped Xenia from going into the mausoleum- because of who has been put to rest in there.
He reached down and stopped the music, then snapped his fingers to keep his legion of dancers still. "I think we should go."

Xenia opened her mouth to respond, but was interrupted as a large boom sounded from within the Mausoleum; smoke poured into the area around them from a hole in the building's wall. The one eyed girl took a step back and coughed into her elbow as Aldo dropped his bone and hid behind his mistress.
As the smoke cleared, a fat older woman stepped from the destroyed wall of the Mausoleum, her face twisted with anger. Her blind eyes gazed at Russel and Xenia as she yowled.
"Gimme back my ARTHUR!!"
She shouted, spittle flying from her mouth.

The Desert Eagle was in his hand and leveled on the woman's head before he even thought about it.
"Xenia," he snarled, expression cold and calculating, not looking away from the woman who he had leveled the gun at, "get your damn dog to give her back her Arthur, and we might not have a rough night."
"Arthur's on his way, Ma'am." he said, voice apologetic, but somehow still hard.

"All right already, who put a bone up her a**.... Geez!"
Xenia rolled her eyes and reached to grab the bone from her stupid friend only to grab empty air. She looked down and was greeted with Aldo's guilty face... and a pile of melted sludge that was once Arthur's calf bone.
"....Bye Russel!"
She said, taking off in the opposite direction Aldo at her heels. The mausoleum hag rolled her eyes, and with a flick of her wrist the two would be escapees were jerked back by an invisible force. Xenia looked thoroughly displeased.
"Now, what will I do with you interlopers...."
The hag wondered aloud.

Russel lowered his gun, knowing it wouldn't be much good.
"Ma'am, we don't want any trouble..."he looked down at the puddle of goo that had once been a bone. "But reparations must obviously be made." he looked at Xenia with a see-what-you-did face, before looking back to the hag. "What are your demands?"
