As Chester had made his way out of the Mansion, he headed towards the Inn. The Stein's Cauldron. He ordered four bottles of rum, all of which he drank like they were glasses of water. As he did, people were looking at him. Staring, and whispering. They talked about the Quarts Mansion and the attack there during the afternoon. How The Terrible Duo of Isaac and Jeko had apparently been found all but lifeless inside of the mansion and was now getting intensive care. He snorted upon hearing this, finishing his last bottle, as he stood up, he began staggering out of the building. 

As he did, he bumped into the shoulders of a man who wore a black coat. The man let out a 'Hey!' and Chester responded with "Hey!" back. Turning towards him for a split second. The man looked shocked upon seeing Chester's bloodied face. "Man, I'm cold." Chester let out, as the man reached for his sword.

"You son of a bitch!" The man said, Chester not paying attention to him. He lunged at him, blade in hand, just as Chester heard him, he turned around, and with a palm strike placed his hand against his face with enough force to knock him straight out, breaking his nose while doing so. 

A few moments later, Chester walked away with the man's coat around his shoulders. It fit him perfectly, and it was warm. "Ah, much better." As he headed towards the docks, not bothering to quit his job.

Kuhn had darted down into the storage area, he had gathered all of the doses he could find, showed them all into a briefcase, he even found another briefcase which he filled with Goldenrod's money. Over a million Bellies, he figured. As he darted out of the mansion. Two Quartz soldiers saw him and pulled their weapons, and with two swift strikes from each briefcase, the soldiers were knocked out, blood stains on the money-case.

He made his way to the harbor just as Lina boarded the ship. He leaped onto the roof of the harbormaster's building, the Harbormaster was away for the evening. "Howdy. You leaving so soon?" He asked, before throwing the briefcase at the deck of the ship. "My former 'partners' debt, I think." He added. "My thanks for you guys... [i]showing me the way.[/i]" 

As he was about to turn around, Chester arrived. "You, with the hat."

"Hm?"

"Get on the ship."

"Excuse me?"

"You're here because you want to join, right?"

"I- uh, Whitney."

"You do realize she's gonna hate you forever now, right? I would say sorry, but I am really not."

"... I guess you're right. I assume neither of you guys can shoot there dem cannons."

"Shoot them? I can do that. Aiming them's always the tricky part."

"Settled then. I'll be your gunner."

"Cool. You too, pointdexter. No tolling behind our ship. That ended badly last time someone tried that." he said, pointing at Macario.
