Just a little something until we get to play
"If I need to remind you one more time that you work for me you will find yourself in a very open space with a lot of the people that want to find you. I hope that I have made it very clear I will not put up with you anymore. You have two choices go and make sure that they do not come this way or just go.”
“You know I could just kill you right now.” His hand resting on his side arm.
“You forget that the others understand who they work for.” Looking at the others in the bay. “They know that if I die they do as well.”
He looks around and all the others have drawn their side arms and pointed at him. “OK you get this one. But you need to keep your head on a swivel from this point on.” His hand comes off the weapon.
“No it is you that will need to keep his head on the swivel. You have shown your hand and I will make sure you do not get a chance to try.”
“You three make sure he does not cause me any more problems.”
“Yes Sir!” Comes from all three.
“Sir the sensors to the on Majuro have just picked up a something moving north.”
“Any IDs on them?”
“No sir, they only got motion and thermal read on them and we had to wait for them to move off before the sensor stations could transmit a report what little information they did get.”
“Great, so what did they get?”
“Well from the heat and movement readings they were ‘Mech, two or more.”
“Why the guess on the number of units?”
“They were moving at the same speed and close. From the way they moved the pilots are good and they know of the sensors in the area. The ECM they used also blocked any good readings.”
“OK so we have more than two ‘Mechs moving in from the south that we do not know if they are hostile or not …. get that info to the GSF units in the area ASAP.”
‘Sir!”
“What do you think is going up north that E has some of his heavy hitters on the move?”
“I do not know, but as you have the connections should you not check in?”
“Old man you just never cease to amaze me.” Jonah give a cross look to his mentor. “What other pearls of wisdom do you have?”
“Other then we move to a better location before you call …. None.”
After an hour and in a location that will make tracking signal almost impossible. “Little bird to Phoenix, spotted four (4) of E’s heavy hitters moving north. Have a Dragon Fire Archer, Rifleman and Warhammer in the group.”
“Hay Max!” Comes from across the bar.
Max looks to see it is his one of his friends from the Nejiro Militia. “What is happening my friend?”
“I got some news you and your lady friend need.”
“Well then lets us get a private room to talk.” Max gets the bartender to get a room so they can talk.
“This is the only one we have right now.” The bartender opens it to a small office style room.
“This will be just fine. Have the kitchen bring us some food and drink.” Max hands the bartender some cash.
“You call’n your lady friend?”
“Sure will, just give me an idea of what you got.”
“Well it’s about that ‘hunter you two want so bad.”
Max takes out his phone and calls Victoria. “Hay one of my friends has some news on T. We are at the bar how fast can you get here.”
“I will be down right away.”
When she gets to the room she can see that food and drink has been setup and the boys are talking. “So what is this big news on T?”
Max looks to the young man at the table. “My friend here works at the militia control center and word came in that T and some pals were on the move.”
The young man looks at her. “Max said a while back that if a Dragon Fire was seen moving on Shinrin he wanted to know so I hopped over ASAP. That ‘Mech was spotted by one of the boss ladies spooks moving out with three of his buddies.”
“That is all well and good but we would need to get to Shinrin before that one goes to ground again.”
“Well for 10K each …. a buddy can get you on the transport that will be picking up the GSF gear that is knocked out.”
“OK so that is to get us over what back?”
“Hay look we are not greedy that is round trip, after all the big wigs like you, so it not that big of a problem getting you over and back.”
“And what is in this for you?”
“Just a small finder’s fee if you get him. Say one (1) percent.”
“That works for me Vic, how about you?”
“That is fine but only after we collect.”
“Hay fine …. like I said not greedy. I will need to know if it just you two or more. My buddy will need to know how much space you will need.”
“We will need to talk this over and see if someone we know would want in on this so in an hour we will let you know.”
“That works but no longer as the transport will be heading out in a few hours and you need to get to the pickup point.”
“So you think we need help?”
“We know his ‘Mech has clan weapons and he has three others with him. Now if they too have clan weapons this will be very hot.”
OK so who do you have in mind? The Drac has been off the grid for like forever and the local jocks have some talent but that may cut in way to hard if they have to get OK’s from their unit.”
“I was thinking about Calahan. He is on rock as a security specialist for one of the local companies. I think he would want in for a few reasons not just the money.”
“So Joe its Vicky I think you might be interested is some info that just came my way.”
“What do you have?”
“Looks like T came out from his hole.”
“OH really.”
“Max and know where he is and even have a ride to the place. You in?”
“Sure. Been looking for something to do and I would not mind getting in on the money.”
“OK so meet us in an hour at the old strip outside of town.”
“See you in an hour.”
