No more fire came. Were they here because of the letter? Nael wondered. We waited behind cover until he was sure the enemy was gone, then hurried back to Sam.

”Is everything all right?” he asked, warily eyeing Mike.

@Steel Inquisitive @Sorana

 "Apparently," Sam replied as all fell silent. Predictably, it was Bella who broke the silence. Sam rolled her eyes as she started screaming her head off. "I believe we had already agreed to the deal." Sam muttered to no one in particular.

“Remind me why we joined again,” he murmured.

"I needed a new start."

Mike answered, although the question wasn't directed at him. Nael was already eying him wearily and he stepped farther away from Sam. Breathing he tried to regain control, to calm. The scales slowly vanished, when he shoved the snake back into the corner where it belonged.

Nael glanced toward Mike. “Don’t we all?” he said, painfully chuckling.

"How should I know? I don't know you."

Mike slowly put his knives away.

"Attacking the Canton. That's quite a task."

He said thoughtfully.

“What’s the Canton? I’m a little new to all of...this.”

Mike smiled and fetched three cans of beer, offering two to Nael and Sam.

"The Canton of Combat is one of the guilds. As the name suggests they are fighters. They teach everybody, you only have to go there and ask. Usually they try to keep the peace and stabilize regions."

"But they do have their own operations, though don't ask me what they are."

Please keep in mind, that this is Mike's pov, based on what he could know and how he perceives things.

“No thanks,” he said when Mike offered him the beer. Can’t afford a cloudy mind in combat.

Mike set it aside and took a step away from Nael. Right. Don't accept a drink from a freak. Nael had to have seen the scales. He stood there, staring at his feet awkwardly, unsure what to do. Did he want him to go? Taking a sip from his beer, he used his foot to draw circles on the ground in front of him.

“No hard feelings, man,” Nael said. “We’re all a little stressed here.”

Mike nodded, looked at Nael and Sam, at Bella and Freyja. He liked them. He liked them all. They were nice, kind people.

"Yeah, I'll fetch some things. I'll come back later. I don't want to rush in this unprepared."

There that sounded like a good reason. And it gave Sam and Nael some time with each other.

Slowly he walked out of the hideout, looked for attackers.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Nael watched Mike go. He seemed like a good enough man--better than some, at least. Running a hand through his hair, he turned back to Sam.

He sighed. "What did we get ourselves into?"

"A mess," she growled. It seemed like the attack was over. Once the adrenaline started wearing off, the pain of her arm increased a thousand fold. "Hand me more of those pills."

[+Ark1002]

Bellatrix sagged slightly. She approached Mike. "Mike, I'm going to need your help." She looked tired, almost like she was going to collapse. "But first, I need to know."

She looked at him, directly in his eyes. "Am I doing the right thing?"

Uhm Mike left for a short while. But let's just say you approached him after he's back.

Mike hastened back into the hideout, clutching something wrapped in cloth in his hand. He hadn't really stolen it, but then he hadn't asked for approval either. Well, nobody had asked if he was allowed to take it.

"Hey Sam. For your arm."

He handed her a small golden medallion wrapped in cloth.

"It should be full enough to more or less heal your arm. Maybe. I didn't dare to take a large and full one."

@Steel Inquisitive

Sitting down with his back against a wall he took out his notebook, rested it against his knees and started writing on a sheet of paper. He'd already written for a while, when Bella approached him.

"Mike, I'm going to need your help. But first, I need to know. Am I doing the right thing?"

Mike looked her, surprised by her words.

"Sit down?"

He asked as she wasn't looking well, gesturing to a spot in front of him.

"You mean going along with his plan?"

"Killing the Canton members. yes." She sat on the ground, crossing her legs. "We haven't done a mission of this scale. It will risk a lot of lives, in the gang." And, she thought, they would have to kill a lot.

Mike looked at his notebook while thinking of an answer.

"We shouldn't rush this. Find out what their skills are, especially their leaders. Then see if we can come up with a good plan."

Thinking for a moment he added.

"I already asked him a question, but he ignored me. So I guess you need to ask."

"You should establish youself as leader, show him you're as strong as he is. Maybe order me to show him around, one of the secrets exits maybe. Would strengthen everything a bit, and we can always close it and use another one afterwards. Somethingclike that, I don't really know."

He smiled at her.

"The canton is a hard target, but you're good. You should talk to Sam and Nael. They're new and insecure about this. Understandable, but still, we need to stand together."

"I hope no one is getting squeamish. Because if you are, I suggest you think about who it was that attacked you" Syndicate looked around the room. The bullets that now littered the hideout.

"I assure you that sniper was a canton operative. Our gang has been hunted by them for some time now. We simply want to bring the fight back to them." Syndicate looked around the room. It seems like lying is the best course of action, some of these people were still restricted by petty morals.

Mike looked up at him.

"What can you and your organization add to our ressources?"

He asked.

"I know Bella is a brilliant fighter, what about you?"

Thoughtfully he tapped on his notebook. They needed a plan. With a good plan it would work. But he needed more information first. How could he plan without knowing what ressources he had? Bella had accepted this and he planned on making sure all of them would stay alive.

Syndicate smiled, he had been waiting for this question. It meant that they were considering his offer.

"My orginisation has manpower, safehouses and funding. Not to mention weaponry and skills that are needed for the job" Syndicate then stepped closer to Mike, whispering so only he could hear what Syndicate was going to say.

"As to what I can do." He whispered.

"I see things. I see that you've been spiked. I see what animals you can shift into, and I see your weaknesses."

 

[+Ark1002]

Bellatrix, who was nearby, overheard snippets of that. "Don't threaten him. Or your life will meet a quick end." She shook her head, straightening. "I will need resources. Lists of your manpower, your resources." She nodded. "If we're going to work..." the last word came out sarcastic, mockingly, "Together."

I'm going on vacation, so I won't be able to post in here for a few days. Sorry, and thanks in advance for your understanding!

 

[+Sorana she/her]

Mike looked at Syndicate and then he smiled, a cold smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. Bella still felt the need to defend him, well he would show her.

"I don't need to be an epic too see what you are. Teleporting out of danger's way like you did earlier. Not even helping when they attacked. But then, not everybody has to know how to fight, don't worry about it. We all have our skills and I am sure seeing things is unique and powerfull."

He couldn't quite keep the sarcasm out of his voice, but then decided he didn't care. Syndicate had started this. If he wanted to play it like a child would - Mike certainly knew how to do that.

He made a short note on the sheet of paper, wrote a few sentences, before he climbed to his feet.

"Bella said we're in, so we're in. Let me take a look at those plans of yours, and then maybe I should show you around. And I'd like to take a look at those crates of yours."

"Let's make a good plan, and then start the operation?"

Syndicate smiled and he tapped on his comms.

"Red, Jane and Zara. Get in here" He spoke into it. All three quickly replied, one man and two women entered the building.

Red was a short man who had a Kama attached to a rope dangling loosely over his shoulder. The colours around him were more accented, stronger and more vibrant.

Jane was a young girl, she couldn't be older than 17 but she carried herself in a self-assured manner. She appeared unarmed.

Zara was a woman who's clothes were all vibrant colours. They clashed heavily, purples mixing with whites and greens. She carried two revolvers, holstered at her waist and a switchblade, holstered at her shin.

"Might we borrow a blackboard?" Syndicate asked Mike & Bella

Mike finished the note he was writing and got to his feet.

"How many of your gang are already in here?"

He asked suspiciously.
