The Moosehead Tavern [1]

"Hey just be glad you got me instead of Ryan, he couldn't wait to get a piece of you.
I can't exactly tell you but I can say you make a fair opponent and that could be put to use."

I hesitate. "uh-um..." I look over at Nic and Jace. "Fine... Whatever." I sigh.

"We're giving in?" Nic asks, baffled.

"I am, you arent. You guys get to stay here." I said. I smiled at Jace.

Sphinx smiles and talks into her watch again, "Yeah were ready to go but we have an extra tagging along," someone replied, "no she good trust me." a small helicopter hovered above and let down a thin ladder which they climbed. "Since I didn't have to kill anyone." "No they all must come"

"what? That wasn't the deal. You said you'de let them go." I backed away.

Jace woke out of his catatonic state, looking at the two girls. Rayah backs towards him and Nic stands, ready to fight if needed.

"No I said you will come too if you don't want to leave them alone. If they come now they have fifty fifty chance of surviving and going home, but if they continue to run then Master will come personally and get rid of the problem himself.

"Jace! Are you okay?" I asked leaning down to him. I looked up as the hellocoptet Arrived. "I made a deal. You guy are maybe going to stay here, well that was the deal anyway. Im going." I stood back up taking the gun out of my boot and hook it onto my belt. I look at the girl. "Look. The deal is you take me and not them. And thats the final one orelse this won't end well."

"No, Rayah - " Jace can't think of anything else to say, his head spinning again.

"Yeah Jace." I said. I took my gun off my belt. "I'll be fine." I smiled.

Sphinx sighed in disbelieve. "Are you serious? I have no business with you. Either you come with them or they come alone. Take it or leave it."

"I don't know.." I said hesitating. "Whatever Jace wants."

"Jace. Do you want this whole thing to be over?"

I shrugged. "Its your choice."
