I can make it good as new." <GM> * The pilot opens his door after checking his watch. * <GM> * He gets out of his plane and looks at the van. * <GM> * He's a human man, about 6' tall. He's wearing a red baseball cap, and a tacky collared shirt tucked into denim jeans with tennis shoes. * <FenixHawk> "Are you here for the package?" <GM> * "Who's there?" * <GM> * He's dark-complected, with thick black hair. * <FenixHawk> "Name's Fenix Hawk." <Azreal> "I'm Azreal." <GM> * The pilot shifts. "Where is he?" * <FenixHawk> "Safe." <GM> * He thumbs his waistband, putting his hands behind his back. * <FenixHawk> "Whose authority are you here on?" <GM> * "Mr. Smythe sent me." * <FenixHawk> "Call him." <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Jesus Christ." * <GM> * He takes his cell phone off his belt and dials a number. * <GM> * It's old-fashioned, like him. An actual cellular phone. * <GM> * "Mr. Smythe, please." He pauses. "It's Rogers...Yes..." * <GM> * He looks at you both, annoyed. "On hold." * <FenixHawk> "You should have said 'no'." <GM> * "Hey, the boss doesn't take 'no' for an answer." * <GM> * "I got a kid to feed." * <FenixHawk> "Me too. She's 16." <GM> * He looks at you both. * <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "You too, huh?" * <GM> * "Scary as hell, some of the boys she brings home." * <GM> * He shakes his head. * <FenixHawk> "You should see the ones mine brings home, one in particular." <FenixHawk> "I'm going to kill him." <GM> * "Hello? Yeah...Mr. Smythe...uhhh...There are some elves here, they told me to call you." * <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Yes sir." * <FenixHawk> "Let me speak with him?" <GM> * He's already handing the phone over to you. * <GM> * The voice: "Where's my boy?" * <FenixHawk> "Safe." <Nova> ((the phone explodes into your head)) <FenixHawk> "Alive." <GM> * "None of your shadow talk, let me talk to him." * <FenixHawk> "Ok. But while I am walking over to him, I will tell you why I am calling. We want more money." <GM> * He barks a laugh. * <FenixHawk> "I'm sorry you feel that way." <GM> * That was...foolish. * <GM> * The phone sits in your hand and the little green number pad goes off. The pilot looks at you both. * <GM> * The phone's light shuts off since it isn't in use. * <GM> * Rogers stands at the plane and looks at you Fenix. * <GM> * Rogers: "Mr. Smythe doesn't play games." * <FenixHawk> "So what do you say?" <GM> * "Hit redial." * <FenixHawk> "IN a minute." <FenixHawk> "What do you say when your daughter brings someone home that's strange?" <GM> * "Me?" * <FenixHawk> "Yes." <FenixHawk> "Or do you just shoot him?" <GM> * "I find out whether I like the kid or not." * <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Never had to shoot one." * <FenixHawk> "That's good." <GM> * Click click. * <GM> * Mr. Smythe: "I knew you'd call back. You mercenaries are all alike." * <GM> * "I suggest you don't do that again." * <FenixHawk> "Mr. Smythe our expenses come to over 20,000¥ and I will make this brief. We ask for 8,000 per person and 20,000 in expenses." <GM> * Silence. * <FenixHawk> "Considering we made enemies with one of the top dogs in the bounty hunter business, is that so much to ask?" <FenixHawk> "Not only that, we had to kill whoever was paying for your son's bounty. Well, we blew up his helicopter anyway." <GM> * You hear his breathing for a moment. * <FenixHawk> "And I know the bounty is worth 250,000¥" <FenixHawk> "But I have a reputation to keep, and I'm sure you will do well to enhance it after this job is over." <GM> * "How many of you are there?" * <FenixHawk> "Four." <GM> * More silence. * <Nova> ((yay, we can reach 1/5 the bounty..)) <GM> * "I offer you 15,000 a piece. No more." * <GM> * "You can fight amongst yourselves for the bills." * <FenixHawk> "15,000 a piece, I accept. If you need more work in the future, please call. Where do I get the money?" <GM> * Mr. Smythe: "Call your Johnson, shadowrunner." * <GM> * #Click.# * <GM> * Rogers slips it into his cell holster. * <GM> * Allan whines about his knee. * <FenixHawk> "Bring the kid please, Nova." <FenixHawk> "As much as they hate us, they need us." <GM> * Allan: "Mike!" * <GM> * Mike Rogers: "Hey kid." * <GM> * Rogers goes over to Allan. As he passes you, Fenix, you catch sight of the big nasty revolver tucked into his jeans at the small of his back. His hand must've been on it the whole time. * <GM> * He gets the kid into the plane and straps him in. * <GM> "What happened to his knee?" * <Nova> "What does it look like?" <GM> * "Huh?" * <FenixHawk> "We had to fight off 5 or 6 of the hottest bounty hunters in Seattle, and he's still in one peice... more or less.... what do you think happened to his knee?" <GM> * "Yeah, I figured." * <FenixHawk> "Take care of yourself, Allan. I hope you learned something from all this." <Nova> "Yeah, like to shut up" <GM> * Allan: "What?" * <GM> * The door shuts. * <GM> * The propeller starts to turn and the plane backs up. * <GM> * Azreal's at the driver's seat of the van already. * <Nova> <to Az> "If you really want it.." *sits in the back* <GM> * The line connects. * <GM> * "Johnson." * <FenixHawk> "The package is safe." <FenixHawk> "Delivered. Secured. Whatever" <GM> * "Hold on." * <GM> * You're put on hold. The cellular signal's a little rough out here. * <GM> * You watch the little plane take off and climb into the night sky. * <GM> * It banks and makes a 180 degree circle. * <Nova> ((You all hear a gunshot as it flies overhead.)) <GM> ((What the fuck...ruin my ending too. )) <FenixHawk> ((LOL @ NOVA)) <GM> ((jerkoff)) <FenixHawk> ((LOL!!!)) <Ash``> ((hehe)) <Nova> ((dont tell me i guessed right...)) <GM> ((i was gonna have him ditch the body in the treeline too)) <GM> * The plane flies off. * <GM> ((fucker)) <GM> * Click click. * <GM> * Johnson: "Yeah, delivery confirmed." * <FenixHawk> "Good enough. Wheres my money?" <GM> * "Come and get it. I'm not a delivery service....God damn unprofessionals." * <FenixHawk> "Where? Don't you understand me?" <GM> * "Where do you think? The club." * <FenixHawk> "Thanks." <FenixHawk> "I got us more money by the way" <Nova> "Yeah.. IF we get it.." <FenixHawk> "Let's go back." <Nova> "Yeah.." <GM> * Azreal squeels. *

Still in intesive care. * <GM> * 75% survival chance. He got his fucking heart cut out, what do you expect? * <FenixHawk> "Ok, well we are going to use Jon's portion to pay for his medicals." <GM> * 25,000¥ is what you owe Patch, the street doc. * <GM> * And he'll collect -- either in cash, or your organs if you don't pay. * <Johnathan> ((I like my organs)) <GM> * So does Patch. * <FenixHawk> We pay. <GM> * All 25,000¥?

What do you think?" <FenixHawk> "You think I am going to just bite it, lose all that money, not make a god damned dime?" <FenixHawk> "I will die before that happens." <Nova> "I just dont like anybody taking my money, never said I won't do it your way." <FenixHawk> "Ok, well I have receipts, it will be fair." <GM> * You're all in Patch's Clinic where you brought Johnathan some 'Get Well Soon' balloons and a box of chocolates which Nova has already eaten. * <FenixHawk> "I'm not even counting the car..." <Nova> "So, I LET you divide the money." <FenixHawk> "Ok." <FenixHawk> "That works." <Nova> "Depends.." <GM> * Fenix, YOUR bill is 3k. * <GM> * Nova, yours is 1k. * <FenixHawk> ((I got all the bills mr GM)) <GM> * Azreal will need 5k for a perfect new ear. * <FenixHawk> ((New medical bills?

His ram-like horns are very distinct and his mane of black hair it pulled back into a ponytail. He's a little beat up. * <GM> * He looks down at both of you. * <Nova> "SHIT!" <GM> * Diablo frowns. * <FenixHawk> "When I said 'Till the next time we meet', I didn't mean this soon." <Nova> "I'm not in the mood either..." <GM> * Diablo: "Business is business." * <GM> * "Where's the kid?" * <FenixHawk> "Gone. Still worth something to you?" <GM> * Diablo shrugs, "He was worth something to somebody." * <FenixHawk> "The bounty was dead or alive." <GM> * "Where's the doc?" * <FenixHawk> "Back office." <GM> * He grunts. * <GM> * "You fucked up my bike." * <FenixHawk> "You fucked up my car." <GM> * "That's business." * <FenixHawk> "It is." <GM> * He lumbers past you both, cocking an eye down at Nova and walks into the back. * <GM> * You're alone again. * <FenixHawk> "I think we should go." <Nova> "Yeah, I'm starving.." <FenixHawk> "Let's take Az up to a hotel room.
