[color=ed1c24]Shitty reunion[/color][/h2][/center]

As I waited for the others to rush back, I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel with an uneasy feeling stirring up in my guts, I looked back to Ven on her laptop, the holo screen had several different numbers and words scattered across the screen and it looked like another language to me. When the blue haired Ausar began turning to me, I looked back towards the street and wondered where the police was, usually they would be here by now, a jewelry store would have a fast response, the moment when I glanced back to Ven once more, all of the numbers disappeared from her laptop." Something's wrong." The dog girl barked.

" Yeah, no cops, alarm went off and-" Before I could finish Ven cut me off. 

" No the alarm was shut off just a few minutes ago, so now the police will dismiss it and call in, Something isn't right, this was suppose to be a smash and grab, not a smash and let's dick around." She spoke quickly typing on her laptop." I'm calling Gaz."  

When the dog woman pulled up the commlink, there was someone else talking, it was a voice I was familiar with." Is that? No, it can't be her." I felt like running to the store and rushing in so I could save the others, but it would be stupid of me, and from the names she was calling out she wasn't alone. 

" Yan, who is that woman?" The ausar questioned me. 

" A monster that looks like a human, gimme that coder." I snagged the plastic and metal rectangular device and examined it, turning it back and forth." How do you?" 

She snatched it back from me with a sigh." It's a codex, not a coder meat head, and what do you want me to do?" 

" I need you to call someone for me." I told her. Part of me was hoping this guy could help us, or at least give us some words of encouragement before we run in shooting. 

Many thoughts were running through my mind at the moment, with each thought speeding by like a customized hollow point, I even began questioning my sitting position and rifle at the moment, right when I was about to re-adjust and force myself into a leaning position my headset came to life." You're being quiet, can you actually see me?" 

I looked down the iron sights of my ancient rifle and spotted my partner sitting on a bench in the middle of a hotel courtyard. She was wearing a black coat covering most of her body, and from this far I could still see the small details of her, her pale skin, bright blue eyes, small nose and flat chest, under that coat I knew she had an odd petite but muscular build." Yes Eiko, I see you now, our target is taking too long and the rooftop up here isn't exactly comfortable." I complained. 

"Simo last I remembered you were one of the best snipers in the galaxy, and here you are talking about not being comfy on a rooftop." She began messing with me. 

I got onto my gut, only to go back into my crouching position telling her." Last I remembered, I didn't get shot in the head and put into a coma for a year." 

Suddenly another voice came into my headset." Now, Simeon you shouldn't be rude to a woman, especially one that could floor you in a face to face fight." 

"It's Simo cowboy." I told him before wiping some sweat from my forehead, before I could continue talking, I felt a vibration in my pocket, I took my headset off and answered my codex's info link only to be greeted by one of the criminals I met a couple months ago.

"Are you Simo?" A gruff man's voice asked.

" Speaking, is there something wrong?" I gave him a question back.

The gruff sounding criminal began to quickly fill me in on the situation, and I began to set my rifle down." I'm not too far by, but I'm in the middle of a contract with two other agents. I can't leave my position, but I'm willing to send them both to help you, but in exchange for their aid, you need to split your loot with them as payment to take down this mu'dak."

There was desperation in his voice as he spoke to me, but he soon agreed." They will be there to handle the situation, Yawn." I hung up and put my headset back on." James, there's a nearby jewelry store being robbed, go save the robbers from the owners space cowboy, look for the guy with the white hair and dark skin. Eiko put on your combat rig and give him James backup." 

" About time I got some action, standing around was getting on my nerves, Colter out." 

"I'll tell the hog that I'm running late so you still get your chance, be sure to confirm the target's death, Eiko out." 

I finally took up a sitting position with the crook of my elbow, keeping the barrel steady, I peered down the sights and watched Eiko quickly walk away, I let out a breath of air feeling a little more comfortable with my new sitting position.

A heavy punch to my face knocked me out of my daze and Mishka tightened her hold on my neck, she kept her grip tight enough for me not to get lucky and break free, but just enough for me to speak."Gaz, I never believed I'd see you again, but here you are, a gunshot wound to my back just annoying me." she broke my nose slamming her fist into my face again." But like every bullet it's time to remove you." She pulled her face close to mines and I could feel her fingers tightening around my throat but she then stopped and looked to the others." No, I'll kill you, but first I'll make you watch your failure allies die first." 

The giantess had turned me around with a hand on my head now." Choose Gaz, now which one of these failures of the galaxy you want to watch die first?" She asked me." The useless junkie? The brotherless wannabe criminal? The serial killer? Or the broken soldier?" 

I looked to the others before telling Mishka." None of them are failures Mishka, all of them bring their own thing to the table, something you can't see." She delivered a punch to the back of my spine and I could feel a pressure build up in her hand." Fine then, I'll just kill you first, doesn't matter to me what kinda trash you lump yourself in with." I grabbed her wrist with my hands trying to stop her, I dug my nails into her hand getting no reaction as she slowly crushed my skull. 

I closed my eyes and grimaced as the pressure on my head felt unbearable, nothing I was doing could stop her, clawing at her hand and trying to get her to drop me or even trying to kick her wasn't working, it was like trying to break down a ship's bulkhead with my bare hands. Suddenly, out of nowhere someone walked on the glass shards of the door and my eyes shot open. 

Standing in the doorway looked like a cowboy straight out of time. He had the hat, the duster, and the boots, right under his duster he wore what looked like some thin type of armor and dress pants, sticking out the corner of his mouth, was an old rolled cigarette. He laid his hands on his belt lined up with bullets and his gun on his hip saying." I heard someone call for a hero."
