[b]Eli - The Arrival[/b]

As the halting tires shrieked, the windows to the dark van were rolled up quickly. The driver and his passenger scanned the area before giving the all clear. The checked the entire perimeter, looking through the rear-view and side-view mirrors. The driver gestured the four men in the rear part of the van to suit up. Suiting up basically meant, arming weapons and putting on any necessary equipment, such as bulletproof vests (if any) and other protective gear available.

The first man to exit the vehicle was the front passenger. He wielded a twelve gauge pump action shotgun colored in full body matte black paint. It didn't have any attachments other than an extra mag strapped to the side. It was one of the most popular shotguns of its time, not very unique. This passenger then opened up the slide-door of the van, allowing passage for the four other men awaiting to advance. As the barrier was removed, three of the men rushed out fully loaded and prepared to fire on anything that was noted as a threat. They had a fluid formation and were very delicate in their stances. The fourth men followed slowly, it was Elijah Haywood, the African American real estate agent from Louisiana. He had finally arrived at Tyler's camp and awaited his company. 

The driver then took off and parked by a nearby truck, the exact same truck that ironically caged Floyd just a couple of minutes before. The trip from Haywood to this camp was about fifty to sixty miles, so at a speed of about sixty-five miles per hour, it took nearly forty-five minutes plus to get there. It had been a decently long quiet journey. Quiet because the soldiers nor Eli were allowed to discuss business outside of Haywood. The only people that discussed it were Eli and Bruce, inside the walls of their haven of course. That just made things more confidential and less of a personal relationship. This wasn't a friendly chat, it was more of a mutual partnership, both parties put something in to get rewarded in return. 

But now it was time to wait, allow some of Tyler's men to approach him and have them inform Tyler of their visit. Then Eli alone, as usual, will proceed into the man's barracks and will start the negotiations. Before leaving Haywood, Bruce informed Eli of what arrangements he had planned. He wanted to get triple the usual for this girl, her state was more...............fertile. A description of her was provided in order to prevent confusion. Eli would give Tyler the piece of paper that describes the pregnant teen and if he likes what he hears, he gets it, as long as he gives them what they bargained for. After the incident with Eli's wife, Tyler was no longer prohibited to see the girl before the trade. He was given a description via letter, handwritten by Bruce Levi himself. It was even signed by the man, proving that it was legit. The deal was that Tyler would give them the supplies asked for, Eli would return to Haywood with these supplies, then bring back whatever girl was traded off. If Tyler didn't like that arrangement, then he could go f*ck himself. 

But now, back to waiting.
