BdrLineAzn:
--Docks--

BdrLine and Niko checks out the tavern they were in and walks towards Niko's cousins ships in dock.

Niko
"So how long until your house is back up?"

BdrLine
"Since we got more resources coming in, maybe a month or so. But it depends, I mean the city got hit hard and many buildings are gone."

As they chat about how long Niko and the other Yeshan mercenaries are going to stay, they past an empty dock with a group of guards around it.

BdrLine
"Huh, what you think is going on?"

Niko
"Don't know. Its not my mens doing thats for sure."

BdrLine
"Come, lets check it out."

The two goes towards the scene and notices a blood trail. They approach one of the guards and ask him.

BdrLine
"Hey, you know what happened here?"

RearAdmiralZill:
-Port-

The group of 4 makes it to the docks following the blood trail, managing to find the empty dock. Guards surround it, and Lauren fears the worst. Jun'ko jogs up to them and asks what's going on. She comes back with the little information they have.
Jun'ko
"So, the trail ends here, and there hasn't been a ship here since early this morning. They never signed out though, and it was a Dandy Lion trade vessel."

Ny-Lee
"That nasty PapaP took him??"

Roland
"I don't think so love. We should call Zill with the details and see what he thinks."

They all agree. By chance, they spot BdrLine and rush over, asking him to relay the info to Zill.

Honeybadger:
-Docks-

Honeybadger was walking from the roof of the Burning Skies to the docks. He wore his great coat and Derby hat and a slight smile.

Honeybadger
Alright Dylan, come by so we can start preparations. And hurry up I need to take a shit...

Honeybadger scratches his leg and adjusts his pants. He looks over to the port

Honeybadger
Is that Bdr? Hmm, he must work the docks. I should have picked this up by now...

He approaches Niko and BdrLine

Honeybadger
"Morning, what seems to be the issue?"

He glances over to Jun'Ko and Ny-Lee.

Honeybadger
What the fuck?

Plasmarobo:
Plasma turns apprehensively as BdrLine aproaches.

He grips his service carbine in what he hopes is a firm, but ultimately non-threatening manner.

Plasma
"Nothing to see here sir. Move along. Military business. Rest assured, you and your loved one's are safe under the watchful eye of the...Look, you look like you know your way around this sort of thing. I'm sure there is nothing wrong. Some suspicious activity by the docks. If you've got business here...well, it might have to wait. I've been ordered to wait here for a superior."

He looks BdrLine up and down, almost hopefully.

Plasma
"Look, I'm an Ensign, and it's more than my jobs worth. But our hands are tied at the moment. There is a suspect ship. Checked in, and left without checking out. It's a Dandy Lion vessel, which makes it more odd. That and we've found... evidence of foul play. But I suspect...can't just leave port. You'd be gunned down...right? My lieutenant won't listen... but..."

He grimaces, and chokes bad the rest of the sentence.

Plasma
"Like I said sir: Nothing to see..."

Yiski:
--Unknown Building--

Hours have passed and the Man enters the room again. He's meet with Yiski rolling his head around and hearing small pops as Yiski stretches his neck. The Man stands in front of Yiski. Yiski smiles.

Man
"Are you in a more fun mood since we talked?"

Yiski
"Was... but now I'm bored."

The Man moves closer to Yiski, leans down, and smacks Yiski across the face. The hit stings, but not much else.

Yiski
"What? You've run outta patience now, or is this also part of the 'fun'?"

Man
"Hmm... I am beginning to see what kind of man you are Yiski. Tell me. How easy would it be for me to go after the ones you love?"

Yiski
"Now that is a question."

*Tilting head dramatically*

Yiski
"Zill is the city's admiral. Kill him and you're dead. Jun'ko was a Yeshan officer and Zill's lover. If she doesn't kill you, Zill will. Ny-Lee is a Yeshan officer. She'll kill you. Roland is my son who I've recently trained and Ny's husband. If he or she don't kill, I will. BdrLine... well... I got nothin'. Lauren was a Baronies officer and currently a pilot trainer and by girlfriend. If she doesn't kill you, I will."

Before the Man speaks, Yiski continues.

Yiski
"Yeah. Good luck goin' after any of them. Also, if you were plannin' on doin' all this, it'd been best to do this on a ship goin' as fast away from here as possible. They'll find me soon."

The Man, tired of Yiski, smacks him again and leaves the room. Yiski spits to see if there's any blood. There's none.

Yiski
"Feh. Hits like a damn schoolgirl. No follow through."

-Next Room Over-

The small group which kidnapped Yiski were discussing their plans among each other. Some of them were beginning to worry about the whole feasibility of the plan.

Man 2
"Why didn't we leave? You heard him. We should be kilometers from here. Why the hell are we still here?"

Man
"Because it is predictable. These people live on a set plan for a variety of situations."

Man 3
"Then isn't it possible they have a plan for this?"

Man
"I assure you all the necessary precautions were used. They'll have too many false leads to follow."

Man 4
"Why not just force it out of him? I mean we have these tools. Let me have him for five...."

Man
"You heard the client's orders in which Yiski is to remain alive, notwithstanding applying reasonable force or cohesion."

Man 2
"What is it the client wants with him?"

Man
"It is not him the client wants, but what goes on inside his mind. Weapon schematics and the like."
