"Name's Jake" he thought at the prettyboy. "Got a story too but it ain't no more tragic than anyone elses. Just depressing". Yeah, he had a story, but he didn't know this guy. He wasn't going to give him his life story, Hell, he probably wouldn't do that even if he did know him. Instead, he turned his attention to the young girl in the next bed. "What's her story?" he asked prettyboy.

Truth be told, Jake had something of a soft spot in his heart for kids. This girl didn't quite look like she was a kid anymore but lying there in that bed, clearly been through the wringer...She looked pretty small. Jake tilted his head to the side, half in curiosity, half in sympathy for her.

"Honestly not sure. S'far as she told me she had a close encounter with one of those [i]sick headed underground bastards.[/i]" He says, raising his voice just load enough for the defectors huddled over in their own space to hear him. He got more than a few dirty looks, but like he cared what they thought of him. He'd put more stock in Jake's opinion even if he were a regular stray. "She said he could boil your blood, and from the look of her hands I'm inclined to believe that. She just wandered in off the street, plopped down there. Figured she could use some rest before we start asking any questions."

"So, what's your beef with the underground?" Max asks, changing tracks. "According to my friend here you were tearing them up before you had to pull him out of the fire. Mine's that they hunt people for sport."
