The shot hit the fleeing guy right between the shoulder blades. He stumbled forward and fell. Luckily the ground broke his fall and his nose and face brought him shortly to a full stop.

All in all this whole thing hadn't take more than five seconds and already three dead and one severely fucked up opponent lay on the ground.

The man scrambled onto his knees and rose bleeding and pleading his arms: "NO, please. I'm sorry, please, don't kill me!"

bnc remained at the back of the car for the time the combat lasted, watching the events with a troubled expression. This got personal. I only know little about Krestov and Slob's background, but I'm little surprised by the wrath and fury they displayed. Poor Krestov...

After the fight, she gets off the car, avoiding to look at the dead bodies. Sure enough, her eyes dated there anyway, and once her gaze fell upon the bodies, she felt herself unable to avert her eyes. Images came flooding back, images she buried deep inside her  I'm too sick for this shit...

bnc bites her lips, and tries to relax after some moments. She closes her eyes, then waits for her companions to return.

As much as he wanted to, Torrent couldn't ignore the man's cries.

"Slobber, I believe that's enough.He's no threat to us, let him be."

"Chickendreks"

Slobbertooth walked over and crouched down in front of the man, Ruger still in hand. "Looks like you get to be the lucky one who lives to tell a story, but before you get to run back to the slots you call friends you have to answer me a question."

Slobbertooth and put his revolver under the man's chin. "Now answer honestly. Just a gel round coming out of this hand-cannon will probably be enough to put you down for good in your current state. Do you know anything about the murders of Zelda and William Willows?"

"No...no, who the fuck is that?" Honest puzzlement and pantswetting terror flashed over the mans face. Now that Slobbertooth had a chance to see him closely, he estimated that he wasn't much older than 17, probably younger.
"I don't know nothing about any murders. Shit, we just wanted to scare that old tus... ehm, ork sir a bit. Really. Ask Skid, he's the boss. Please, please don't kill me."

"I gave him a chance. He wasted it"

Slobbertooth cocked the hammer back on the magnum resting in his right hand, and chuckled "Too bad kid. If you had known about that, you might have saved yourself. Now you're fragged, just like 'Skid' over there." Josiah pulled the trigger and there was a sound not unlike a staple gun as the Ruger's blast was muffled by its suppressor.




The Orc had fired his weapon harmlessly into the air. He growled into the panicked teenager's ear, "I'll be watching you," stood up and re-holstered his weapon.

"Now run."

"Why can't we do fun stuff like this more often?"

Krestov gave an affirming nod, letting the crazy ork take care of the running Humanis thug before turning away, visibly pausing as he straightened up.  His thoughts raced, playing back every moment he just committed....and the thing that scared him briefly was how he felt no remorse...no guilt.  Taking a breath, he strode evenly over to where the older ork had taken cover, offering a hand to help him up.  "Must be Sunkid.  Come, you can thanking us in van before KE shows"  Leading the way, the troll crawled into the back of the van and resumed his seat by bnc, removing his helmet and letting his golden mane fall.  His expression was set, and he avoided eye contact with the decker as they waited for Slobbertooth before moving.

bnc watched Slob with mixed feelings. For one thing, she was sick with death and pain and anger and hatred Well, but one the other hand: Some people did deserve to die, didn't they?
Seattle ain't good for you, gal. Get yourself together. You've got enough problems without turning into a sociopath, too!

Wordlessly, she let her gaze wander over the bloodshed, then jumps into the van again. She turns on some 8-bit music in her head: loud enough to drown out the voice inside her head, not so loud as to drown out the important voices outside her head. She always thought that it was better to listen to real voices. Y'know, keeps insanity at bay.
But you do realize that thinking is usually a verbalized progress?
Shut up and let me think.

Slobbertooth removed his helmet and hopped into the van's passenger seat. There were more than enough people in the back already. He looked into back and spoke to the assembled group.

"So now you guys know how your orc omai spends a not insignificant amount of his free time. It's usually not that bloody, but we had a new chummer to protect this evening."

"Oy, that was mightily impressive. Thanks for saving me sorry bacon."
The ork had returned and was now leaning heavily on a walking stick. His white and grey hair floated around his head as if he had recently stuck a finger into a socket.
"Me's the Sunkid. I's guessing it's you I's to meet 'ere."
He coughed violently and spat a glob of phlegm into the street.
"Those lousy 'umanis fuckers got what was comming. So I's 'eard you was looking for some 'ardware, aye?
Well, you's in luck. I's gotta full container o' some really sweet stuff. Got it from a trade fare, all the big stuff and inna mint condition. An' I really can use sum cash aboot now 't 's 'spensive having to smuggle from 'ong fucking Kong, I's tell you.
There's jus' a little rub: My contact who's stashing the stuff has gone dark o' me. I's needs some muscle an' brains to find him an' getting me stuff back.

You's innerested?"

Krestov turned to Slobbertooth and gave a grim expression, broken slowly by a small smirk.  "Explains much.  Rare with you I get say Krestov faster one"  Allowing a deep chuckle, he shifted over to let Sunkid into the van, letting them take off and away from what likely would be turning into a crime scene before the night was through.  I'll talk with bnc later...she's likely pissed  He mused to himself as he listened to their contact's deal, tilting his head as he worked through the slang-ridden English best he could.  After the question was popped, the troll took a breath, pheremones still active, as he opened up with a small smile.

"Krestov.  Been Hong Kong for two job, have friend there.  Nice city, very big.  You say you have stuff, but need help in get?  Might agree to such, Da, but business business, you knowing this yes?  If heard of us, already knowing what we can do, and what brings for price.  How saying go...you scratching bear's back, bear is scratch you?  Krestov sure speak for everyone that can agree to help in acquiring stash, exhanging for credit towards purchase of such, additionally with discounted rate?"  The troll gave a long pause, glancing to the others and giving a nod, the go ahead to say their pieces for good or ill.

"You's got me over a barrel there. I's need them stuff sumwhat pronto. So you's name ya price. I's jus a poor old codger from the Japans where they don like orks. Help me an I's help you."
The old ork coughed again and spat expertly out of the window. Now that he was inside the car, the team could see that he had a stooped and posture and a pronounced hump on his back under layers of pretty dirty sailor clothes.

Slobbertooth was bemused by Sunkid's downplaying of life for tuskers in Japan. "They don't like orcs much? That's putting it mildly." (Japanese)

"So how is this going to work? We go get your stash and then pick out all the drek that you were told to get us?"

"Ah, it is good to hear the tongue of my childhood. Indeed it was not a happy childhood for anyone born with the mark." (Japanese).
Sunkid nodded:
"Eh, after a fashion. Mosta what ya need you's shoulda find in there. Other stuff I's might have ta ask a favor or two from sum special friends who's owing me sum or other. But did na worry: The Sunkid's yet got everyone what was coming for them."
