Bob stood not far off from the rest, he had dune his trick to get back strength, if only for a few hours. He was studying the scourge marks when he felt a small itch in the back of his head, a feeling that he'd learned ment his targets, in this case the Wereds, where in danger. He looked at freedom, keeping himself calm. "Where do you want me to be at?" He asked. @Silva

Bob picked up his map, folded it carefully, so as to not smudge the paper, and and began to follow. He knew what the plan was, get to the warehouse and rest up before striking. But he had a sneaking feeling that wouldn't happen, so he began bracing for his second option. It would be painful, but he would be physically ready to fight again. "Lets not waste time standing around," he said, gazing directly at Pry, then Tels, perhaps he could could get him to help with the process. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar @Grey Knight

Bob had stayed calm, unnerved by the skull that had practically tried guilt tripping him, practically in his face telling HIM what to do. Did whoever this was really think Bob had just dropped down and decided to slow down with out need? He focused on what Pry was saying, not trusting himself to respond. "I bet I could get someone to squeal the layout of the place, but that could take longer than expected. I agree with you. If you want to get creative we could pretend as though we're a new family in the neighborhood. Once I've seen what we're against, I bet I can get us out again, though I'll need to be well rested for what I have in mind." teleport them in, find the captives, then teleport the captives out to another building, a safer place away from where the fighting will happen. That was his plan, he doubted he'd be able to get these three out of they saw crow, and so he'd be in that fight to, not because he liked them, he reminded himself, but because of his mission. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar @Grey Knight

" Your sister's right, " he said, looking at Freedom, "I'll be blunt and honest with you, my powers take their toll over usage. As of now I doubt I could handle you three now, and there's chance Crow will only have three guard's." Honesty was a great trust builder, he had learned, and he knew he was at his limits for both powers. I'd be lucky if broke legs where all I'd be paid for from teleportation right now. And even luckier if stun only stopped my heart... "I think we should rest, gather our strength before trying anything...rash." He'd seen the look on Freedom's face, the look that many carried when seeking vengeance. He also recalled how most times, their thirst was their fall. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

"While I was waiting for you to arrive, I did some rooting around. I have been led all over this city and even into the forest outside of this city, and not one lead was fruitful," he pointed to a chunk of the map that had no marks on it, "that is, every search that led away from here. In their panic of covering up the location, they practically put a signal beacon on it." He was truely smiling now. He looked around the room at the faces before him, "we can hit it in the morning and part says by this time Tomorrow." @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

"I had better not see that photo anywhere." Bob said cooly, most of his reputation had been built on the way he could blend in with a crowed without being noticed by his targets,he could be as close as he wanted and then he aware in no time. He picked up his map, looking where he had crossed off spots, and smiled slightly, "I can hazard a guess, though it's not a strong guess." @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

Bob locked eyes with Freedom, not letting himself seem off balance for even a moment, they where definitely not the waste time talking type, and that he could respect. "To answer both questions, I am a bounty hunter, my original patron is in Scadrial. My job was to eradicate the gangs involved in several different attacks, I think he was afraid he'd be next. While I was hunting different gangs, I noticed they had all been sent out by one person, going by the name crow. I decided for the same of my sanity I'd go after crow, cut the head of the snake, if you will." He nodded his head at the explanation, still maintaining eye contact, "I wasn't aware that your cousin's where hostages, but I have a reputation of few casualties that I will keep." That record was already over by this point, but he wasn't interested in setting a high score. "The names Bod, and unless you intend to use that sand, I wouldn't use it for threatening, trained eyes will aim right for it and know where to hit to disable you." He turned his head at this point, looking Tels up and down. he's seen fights, I doubt I'll need to worry about him being reckless. He thought to himself, and managed a wry smile. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

Bob had heard the girl, Pry, after he had said crow. He had debated turning and facing her, but has decided if she couldn't speak openly and not try sneaking behind him, he'd let her stew over whether she thought he'd attack or not. Now, hearing the man's voice, he took one last drink from his mug, set the map down and wrestled to his feet, banishing his thoughts of sleep. "And you must be one of the people who the girl had said would be here." His voice held just a hint a sarcasm, he'd been here waiting for awhile, but couldn't hold it against them. He reminded himself yet again that he needed allies not foes, and have the room a short, yet respectful bow. "I can promise one and all, she was quite alright and safe when I had seen her last, and I assume you're not the sky and gossip type?" He straightened , and remained as straight as his tired muscles allowed, starring straight towards the man who had entered. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

Bob sat in a chair at the apartment he had been directed to, drinking a strong brew his mother had said would help with headaches. A headache was an understatement. It rang from where someone literally threw a table into it. He eyes the map he had bought, it covered the full Alleycity and even some of the land outside. He had crossed off loads of places, destinations he had been led to by different low lives in this city. Each person had sworn by his own mother that crow could be found at where they said, and every single one had just been a waste of time. He forced himself off the chair to cross off an abandoned warehouse near the harbor, which had turned out not so abandoned. "Where are these people that girl said would be here?" He said aloud, "or had she just led me on one big goose chase, and crow is still in Scadrial?..." He slumped back into the chair, his eyes slowly closing, he had been using his powers too much today and NEEDED a sleep soon before just dropping. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

Bob calmly moved to take his knife back, then went to the gate and held it for a second, weighing different ideas in his head. He adamantly opposed each idea. kids safer here than out on a mission with me, and I'll never forgive myself if I was the one who got a kid killed, never again... He closed the gates, have her one last bow, then turned to head for an oathgate that would take him Alleycity. @Silva @Truthless of Shinovar

"I came to Scadrial a few weeks ago," he said calmly, he had this response ready, and kept from nailing a certain spike that could mean trouble for him. " I have been taking jobs where I get them. That is, until I came across this new job; a Wealthy man, I forget the name, " more wouldn't say, part of his contract kept from giving names, "hired me to eradicate the gangs involved in a few attacks against other wealthy families. I had found one such criminal arrested already and interrogated him as to who had hired him and the gangs but he wouldn't answer, so I came here, to one of the households that had been attacked. The criminal had mentioned that they where sent to deliver letters, so I decided to see if I could get a look at one of these letters, and see if I could cut the head of the snake and wrap up my business here. The guards where supposed to tell everyone they knew, including their superiors that I would be coming by today," he then spread his hands wide, to say he was done, " which is how we have found ourselves sitting on this lawn, at the break of dawn, talking as if we've known each other since the start. "

He listened to her speak, telling him how she had seen him with the guards and how he had left. He inwardly cursed himself for being reckless then, he had let his interest in sleep get the better of him and now he lost a valuable card from his hand, but did she know about the stun power? Or did she just assume he took them down without warning, which he kind of did. He also began to guess this girl wasn't just a normal kid, as he had made sure no one could have heard of seen what he had done to the marines. He decided though, banking off of an old saying he had heard from a friend of his. sometimes the easiest way to get what you want, is to cooperate. Of course, his friend had meant adults, not a five year old with pig tails. "Well said, my young lady," he said at last, giving a small, but respectful bow, " it would seem you leave me no choice but to cooperate. " he drew the knife from its hiding place and tossed it to one side, then calmly sat down on the lawn, doing his best not to do what his mind said to do, which consisted of teleporting in and finding the guards he had talked to the other day. "what do you wish to hear first? How I came here? Why I 'assaulted ' two guards?" He would have said the one had it coming , shooting him in the ribs and all, "or perhaps you want the exact reason of why I am at this house and not some other one?" @Silva.

He watched her closely, trying to decide if she was really bait, or maybe just a distraction. she can't be older than ten! he thought, then decided on playing along. If she was bait or distraction he would learn soon enough. "It is not that I don't enjoy this conversation," he said smoothly , as if reasoning with a kid, which he was, as he was it. "There are ears and eyes to hear and see what we talk about out here, and what I will tell you is on a need to know basis. Forgive me if I sound rude, but aren't you a little young to be out here alone?" All while he talked, he weighed the idea of just entering. teleport next to her and stun her, take the keys and go. Or better yet just teleport to the top and then inside. He dismissed the idea, he needed allies not foes he reminded himself. But still set this as the strangest conversation he'd had in awhile @Silva

Bob heard the voice before seeing her, and he silently cursed himself for being so unobservment. He was caught by surprise to find this as a welcome party, he had been expecting enough guards to fill the road and then some, not a little girl. He almost asked where her parents were, but thought better of it. I need allies in this city, not more foes. "If I wanted to fight, I wouldn't have came down a wide open street." He said, keeping his voice level, "shall we enter? I must speak with the one in charge." He had placed her as a possible peace offering. That, or she was bait to lure him into an ambush. @Silva

Bob walked calmly towards the household he had visited the other day, at least, he appeared calm at first glance. A closer look and you would see his eyes searching for hidden opponents, watching for any form of a trap. He hadn't seen any, so he kept going. Soon he found himself within sight of the gates. He paused then, and checked his equipment, his knife really, silver reflected the light of the sun, sharp and cleaned since its recent use just last night. He slipped the knife back into its hidden sheaf on his forearm, focused once more on why he was there, and continued moving towards the household. @Silva
