I had lived
alone for a while when I was contacted by Juggler. He told me that a group of
runners needed some firepower, or something. I was starting to get bored, no
one picked fights with me, and the rats had moved further away from my
territory. I agreed to a meeting in a pub on the same day.
I packed up my
things and left. I checked the time and made sure I was there on time. At the
same time as I walked in I noticed two human males walking in too. Other one
shined in the Astral Plane. That was the first time I met Nerdy. The one who
shined in the Astral Plane introduced himself as Sly. He was a fox.
We sat on
Jugglers table for quite a while. They tried to talk something, but I was a bit
out of place there. I knew only Juggler, and apparently he knew Sly. I got my
sword in front of me and started sharpening it. It made me feel calm.
Finally Jinx
arrived. From all my teammates I have known Jinx and Nerdy for the longest. Neither
of them are my good friends though.
After Jinx had
arrived Juggler left. He wished us luck before leaving. Then Sly and Nerdy told
us about their problems. They needed some firepower for their job. I suppose
they needed to capture some people, and to take a revenge on some Mr. Johnson.
I didn’t know why, but it didn’t matter. They promised some money and action,
and I was in.
I left with
these people. We went to an abandoned building, and down on its cellar. I
understood that there was one more person on the team, but wasn’t there yet. We
had to wait. I found me a nice corner and started sharpening my sword again. I
didn’t pay much attention to others, only enough to know what was happening.
Everybody seemed to be waiting.
