TEXT: Date with Death 
   
  The local boss has decided to end this petty 
  criminal who has decided to testify against 
  him. 
   
  The Scenario: Big Jake has knocked off the local 
  competition but unbeknownst to him he was 
  seen by the local squatter James Jones. 
  Desperate for food and a place to stay he has 
  called the cops and agreed to speak out for a 
  train ticket and $10.00. The cop he called of 
  course was on the take and informed Big Jake 
  who hires three hit men from the Detroit 
  Purple Gang to kill J o n e s . 
   
  Judge Preparation: The players should be 
  near Carl and Sons shoe repair at the start of this 
  scenario. 
   
  The Plan: A middleman has rented a room on 
  the second floor of the Building above Carl and 
  Sons shoe repair. The hit men will shoot Jones as 
  he goes into the building, then escape in the 
  black sedan they have parked outside. 
   
  Set-Up: The hit men are all standard NPC hit 
  men armed with rifles  (MS=71, AG=88, 08=83, 
  DR=86, PR=S, LK=15,   HP=21). 
   
  Their sedan is parked outside the Carl and Sons shoe repair shop on Pipestone Ave. The action starts 
  as soon as James jones walks up to the cop waiting to meet him outside the shop. 
   
  The Action: First, Officer O’Malley makes sure the street is clear. Then he waves Jones over to him. 
  When Jones is halfway to the cop, a flurry of shots ring out and Jones will crumple (dead, unless he 
  makes his luck roll). 
   
  Any character who the Judge decides might see the hit men 
  gets an observation check to see the flash of the rifles as the 
  hit men fire. If the characters react immediately, there will 
  be a gun battle with the escaping hit men. 
   
  The Wrap-Up: If any of the hit men are captured, they will say 
  they were hired by Big Jake and that they were only doing 
  their job. If the hit men escape or are killed, the characters 
  will find a clue if they look in the room the gunfire came from.

  the matchbook is a tele- phone number (it is Big Jake's).
