For some reason you don't feel safe in your house any more, like you could be attack at any moment.
Home invasion now there a scary thought, it a dangerous world out there and you need to protect your self.
Once dressed you head out shopping, maybe it'll take your mind off home invasion.
Mahal's Rifles and Rod is a small building at the edge of town, it's more of an over grown fishing and hunting supply shop than a gun store but it the only place in town you know of that sells weapons.
The inside smell as always of live bait and unwashed men.
You walk past the rows of fishing rods, nets and camping gear until you reach the firearms corner.
You barely have a minute before old Mahal is on you with his sales pitch.
"Can't decide can you? here let's have Henry run you're details while i fill on your choices..."
Your eye settle on the:
---------------------------------
Cash $1500
----------Shotguns------------
A) This is the 5D-OHS, it's a new model just come on the market.
It's a single barrel shotgun in 16 gauge, a pump-action with a 8 round magazine tube under the barrel.
It's a great gun for the clays, fast, accurate but a little less power than the full 12 gauge, but that make it easier to shoot.
$1300
B) The UK-A2, it's a triple barrelled shotgun, takes .410 bore and it's a break action so you only get 3 rounds.
The nice thing about this gun is it small, no stock and short barrels so it's good for home defence and small game, there a pistol grip for that bit of control.
$850
---Pistols----
C) The GH Blackout it's a small double-barreled derringer, fires .38 Special, 2 shots only but it's so small that you can hide it easily.
Lovely checked wooden grips on this one.
$350
D) The QR Fury, a semi-automatic pistol, shoots .38 ACP, 7 rounds
Small, light and easy to handle.
$600
E)Big hunting knife
$75
F) (Any thing reasonably sold in a fishing and hunting supply shop)
---------------------------------
Having made choices you head to counter and Mahal start to ring up your purchases.
"So you like the of look of that one? well here the bad news there a waiting period period for guns.
"Uh Mahal, computer say there wise, she's got express privileges, so no, you can take the guns now if want." Henry butt's in from behind the computer.
Well that unusual... ------------
Later that day.
You found the card in your trouser pockets, well you hope that it the right card, there just an address, a number and the opening hours printed on the card.
The address is that of a identity-less office building and thanks to the receptionist your headed to meeting room 3.
Sat at the table is a woman in a black suit, you feel that you recognise her from somewhere.
"You found the room, please come inside." she's got a quiet voice with refined
"Um This is right room for the job right?" you ask unsure if your in the right place.
"Yes.

She stares at you with her strange green eyes as she asks you more questions.
