One would think the smell of Chuck and Hog would be enough to keep away both customers and trouble, but this butcher shop is constantly busy. The line for a cut of meat is tens of patrons deep, and there's not much to do but hold your nose and wait as the exceedingly loud (unintelligible, like there's something stuck in his throat) butcher waits on each person individually. He's not incredibly conversational, but even simple directions need repeated multiple times.
Covered in blood, wielding his knives casually, the man is intimidating in his own right. With high prices and high demand, he's earning a hefty sum. Yet, he does everything himself. From slaughter to trimming, the man is constantly busy. With fatigued eyes and an ever souring demeanor, there's some nervous chatter around the shop that he won't make it much longer in this business.
Upon arrival, Nash and Natasha will be welcomed warmly, and given aprons. He expects them to help behind the counter in any way they can. His assumption is that Cree sent them to help, and this is what he needs more than anything else. However, his solution treats the symptom, and not the problem itself. A haggard man has been hanging around the shop's back door after closing, and many have witnessed the butcher and the shady figure speaking with lowered voices. When pressed, the owner won't specify anything about it, but some simple eavesdropping will reveal the situation.
He's deep in debt from accidentally butchering a well-established gang leader's pet hog. The creature had gotten loose, and was too tempting to pass up when he found it wandering on the street. Of course, the gang specified the worth of the beast, rather than accepting the butcher's appraisal, and he's yet to pay back the lump sum. High interest rates keep him cutting corners, toiling alone to save what money he can. It isn't enough; the suspicious man threatens to take over the butcher's finances entirely unless he pays within the next week.
Nash and Natasha have numerous options before them - they can come up with the money, they can investigate the gang, or they can simply regularly defend from any interference attempted. Any of these solutions, or any other solutions they may come up with, will be suitable so long as the Chuck and Hog is protected and a monthly fee is collected from the owner for their work.
These prompts are meant to be very open - if it isn't specified, you may take any liberties you'd like. However, please feel free to reply with whatever questions or clarifications you may have at any time!
