Talon entered the promenade to a bustling cafe.  He thought about grabbing a coffee but they didn’t make cappuccino like your supposed to so he thought better and just watched Blackwater staff attending to gardening.  It was quite a nice place to sit and watch thought Talon.  Still...too much of a commercial setting.  He clasped his hands behind his back and watched some of the patrons.  It seemed a guy had summed up courage to ask a younger lady out but had chickened out at the last second running to a nearby bathroom.  Talon just shook his head.  “Gotta have confidence kid”.

From behind A voice boomed.  “Mr. Kaarde, to what do I owe this pleasure?”.
Talon turned to see Mr. Blackwater himself, flanked by 4 suited protection agents.  Big and hulking, no doubt full of chemicals and cybernetically enhanced as was the norm these days.  He definitely looked tired to which Talon would take advantage of.

As he approaches Talon extends his hand “Mr. Blackwater, I appreciate you taking the time to see me, I will make this quick as I know you are a busy man”.  Blackwater asks “Quick and Dirty? Or on the level?”.  “When have I steered you wrong?” Asked Kaarde.  “Never and that’s how I intend it Talon” stated Rudy, ushering Talon to a table with the younger girl.  “Have a seat, and let me introduce you to my daughter Ruth.  I’m trying to teach her a thing or too before I forget all I know”.

“I’ll never forget so don’t you worry” Talon semi seriously said.  “However we will leave that for another time”. Talon grabbed Ruth’s hand to kiss it gently and said “Pleasure to meet you Ms. Blackwater.  My name is Talon Kaarde and it’s a pleasure to do business with you!”
