Rightio! Back on track. Sort of.
Take the canister, open it. Then use some of the ducktape to make a half-shell boat. Put some of the explosive inside. Tape the rest of the shell up.
Call Rikel, tell him you have a "delicate situation" and then tell him to come over. Give him your address.
Have a look at the printout for the job.
Bran gets the idea to try to make something to hold the material for practical use, and takes two rolls of duct tape and gets to work. Half a roll of wasted duct-tape later, all he has to show for his efforts is a mess of duct-tape stuck together in an ineffective manner. Replacing the duct-tape, then washing his hands, Bran decides to try to call Rikel. Maybe he can help make something of this opportunity. Pulling out his phone and tapping in the number, Bran waits for a few moments while the phone rings. A cheery voice inquires "Hello?"
'Hey, Rick, it's Bran. Remember me?'
"Ah... Right. Bran. Met you a while back. What's up?"
'I found something that you might find interesting. Would you be able to meet up with me, so we could discuss it further?'
"I dunno, Bran. Didn't you move for some job or something?"
'Yeah, I'm down in Rilton now, but this doesn't have anything to do with the job.'
"Ah... Maybe some other time, right? I'm a busy guy. We can talk about it... Tomorrow maybe. I could use some sleep. You take care, Bran."
Before Bran could respond, the phone hung up.
Grinding his teeth, Bran couldn't believe it. What a waste of his time. That bastard didn't even try to figure out what he was actually talking about. Maybe he wouldn't be of any use after all. Trying to take his mind off of it, Bran opens up the suitcase and pulls the slightly battered printout from his suitcase. Scanning through it quickly, he replaces it before sitting down on the bed, trying to calm himself down.
