[11] "I'll leave these ones here, for now. They'll head back when relieved." William explains, glancing out towards the street through the rubble of the collapsed storefront. "I doubt anyone will try anything, what with Xavier here. He dies and the Guardians..." William grins, explaining after you give him a confused look, "You should've seen it before he rose to power. Nights of blood. After he negotiated with the Families, the arrest rate soared and the number of bodies 'found' dropped. Guardians actually could have families to return to, instead of bloody rooms and rage."
"And yeah, I know it. Call me if you need anything." William flashes a smile, and walks out into the city streets alone, hunching down and slipping his hands into his coat. He passes out of vision without a glance back, and you and Emma wait alone. You and Emma sit, chat, and eat, and the bartender shows you his books. It doesn't make much in terms of profit, especially after his salary. He reckons the bar will make about [+.25 credits] in profit, per month.
Emma's radio emits a small chime, and she lifts it to her ear. She listens intently, quietly, then stows the radio, reporting in a cold monotone, despite the grin, "First target down. Iyal is alive. There wasn't collateral. Two lost on her side, but don't get choked up: investment recovered. Clean getaway."
[15] The Thornton reinforcements arrive, and the captain of that group dips a respectful nod to you and Emma, the only defining feature is the red band across the top of their helmet. The voice is feminine, however, "We're ready when you are." A frightened technician trails behind her, with Mitch's leash in her hand. Mitch doesn't seem to mind, dragging her to the drying puddle of blood to lap at it.
