Black: Queen d8>a5 *check*

Eric went by many different names. Eric wasn't his real name, but it was the one he was using during this current business venture. You might say he was a collector of valuable things... depending on if you counted captive women as things. Eric had set up a nice little shop for his collections over the last month or so down in a sub-basement of a hotel after working things out with the owner of the hotel, a fellow businessman who appreciated the finer things in life. The hotel owner had made him manager of the custodial staff as a way to disguise his real business, which Eric would be starting as of today. Eric had made sure to have everything ready for this day in particular, as there would be the most wares available.

Preparations had already been made so that there would be plenty of vacancies available down here, with over 40 'beds' open to any guests Erick and his partners brought down to visit. Double-checking all of the restraints to make sure they were ready for immediate use, Eric messaged his business partner, an old musician, to make sure he would be ready. It wouldn't matter what else happened, as long as his partner could be down here by midnight, he would auction off their entire stock to the highest bidder.

Finishing up the last of his checks, determining the basement ready for business, Eric went to the elevator, readied his security card that granted him access to and from this level, and got ready for his favorite part of the operation: The Hunt.
