Fear the cold...
On the roof across the street, a rabbit crouched with a sniper rifle in her paws, her finger resting on the trigger. The monkey was well withing the black cross of her sights. The only problem that she saw with this was that she was packing traqualizer darts. She's rather take him out the usual way, but Michael wouldn't let her; a random death in a small town wasn't exactly keeping quiet. Besides, news spread fast in small towns. It's better to just knock him out. She fired the dart.

Meanwhile, a block away, the waitress nodded to the otter and started to turn away when she was tapped on the shoulder. She turned back towards the otter. "Is there something I can-"

"You haven't taken my order, Miss." Wait a minute, was that cat there a second ago? She tried to look professional, but she was clearly unnerved by his sudden appearance. The cat, called Neo, smiled. "I'll just take a coffee, I'm here on business."

The waitress nodded and left, confused.

The cat was dressed in dark but inconspicuous atire, dark blue jeans and a dark grey shirt. He looked at the otter across from the table with an overconfident smile. "I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here."

The dart took the monkey right in the side of the neck, delivering it's drug payload long before the curious creature had plucked it out to examine it. The tranquilizer acted fast causing him to drop the dustpan and collapse. As his limbs refused to move and his sight and hearing faded, panic set in.
No! I just awakened! My life just began! Please I don't want to go back to sleep! Not in the box! Not buried under those numbers!

Blackness enveloped him, disturbed only by the endless lines of ones and zeros...and eventually those faded away too.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here."

The otter assumed a bored expression with his chin in his hand. "No. Not really. You are ordering coffee, that is obvious." Suddenly he snapped upright and rubbed his hands together energetically. "However, you also approached me and entered conversation, which either means you are looking to make friends with a rough customer, or you know I'm Gidaron the Mercenary and you have a job for me. Or you want me dead, but if that were the case you probably would have already pulled a weapon out." The otter grinned his scarred face. "Am I right?"

Neo laughed. "You're half right, Gidaron.

"The thing is, I'm a mercenary too, in a sense. It's it's how I found you in the first place. Maybe, you could say, I'm more of an assassin, but that's beside the point.

I've got a job for you, but it's not what you think. All you have to do is stay in town for a few days, then get out immediately. That doesn't sound too hard for you does it?"

The rabbit, Rose, climbed down from the roof of the building and looked down at the monkey. He seemed like a waste of darts, but even here they had to be careful. She picked him up with one arm, opened the door, and dragged him inside.

Luna was just coming out of the back room when Rose walked in. She froze for only a second, but it was enough for Rose to toss the monkey's body in a corner and bring a pistol to Luna's face.

"Hey, it's me again," she said calmly, "There's something we need."

The otter's eyes rolled back and forth for a moment as he wrestled with nasty memories inside his wounded brain, then his face settled into a hard expression. "Sound's like you are painting a target on my back. What's the matter, trying to shuck some pursuit? Well shuck it elsewhere, I've been the blunt of too many a joke."

He stood, not putting a hand to his sword handle, but instead setting himself ready to move fast, while appearing to just stand casually instead. No one out of earshot could have guessed the seriousness of their conversation. "Unless you come up with some good reasons why I should stick around, namely what you are planning, I'm leaving town now."

His gun was still at the shop, and he'd promised other jobs. He could try to sneak back without being caught, but the fact was, if this guy had been shadowing him, he'd well be able to call the bluff. Do the opposite of what is expected. He tried to think while waiting for a response.

"I wouldn't even move if I were you." Neo said calmly. "Have you even wondered why we want to paint a target on your back instead of ours? Just look around, you'll see what I'm talking about."

The Cafe plaza seemed to suddenly swell with customers in the time that they were talking. The citizens were merrily chatting about the day, and the staff seemed more than happy to comply with the bigger work load. Although, something seemed a little odd. The seating might seem random at first, it seems that they've all been examining the scenery in a way that nobody could escape without being notices. Either this was a huge coincidence, or-

"They haven't heard anything I'm worried about, but I'm not so sure about you" Neo continued, unfazed by the arrival of the spies. "If you accept my offer, I can get you out of here, but you'd have to follow my directions to the letter. If not, I'll just leave you to deal with the law and other kinds of things you don't want to get in to."

Gideron practically vibrated with fury. He didn't quite get if the watcher were with the cat or not, but he understood the options clearly. Any break for the canal could mean a bullet in the back. Any per-emptive attempt to take out potential shooters, including the cat opposite him, would label him as the troublemaker. He was conered. Again.

Should have killed the Ghost when I had the chance!
No shut up she didn't have anything to do with this.
Trapped again! Caged! Puppet on a sting! Dance dangit!


A horde of thoughts, from escape to revenge, to simple rage ran on and on through his head faster and faster until he wasn't sure he could take it any more. Just when he was about to crack and either scream or laugh insanely, the waitress returned. "You're pizza s-" She froze, clearly seeing the madness on his face.

"Thank you." He muttered and then did the only single thing he could pour all of his concentration into at that point; he started cramming the pizza into his face. By the time he finished, he'd calmed down and regained his composure. Ride the wave. You've done it before, you can do it again.

He smiled and held out his hand. "Well then, it seems you have a deal Mr..." The cat had not mentioned his own name yet in the conversation.

"Just call me Neo," the cat said as he took the outstretched hand.

A sharp stinging in the wrist should have caught the attention of the otter by now, but it was too late. Neo stood up, took time to stretch his legs, and said "Well, I think you should know that your every move is being tracked. You don't need to know by whom. All you need to know is that we will be watching. Don't act surprised, you should have known something was up."

The crowd around them started to disperse, the majority chattering happily away at what happened. One from the crowd turned to Neo and asked "Hey, when do we get our money again?"

"You'll get it in the mail," Neo replied, "If there are any problems, just send us an e-mail at the address I gave you."

"Okay then," said the stranger, walking away, "But you better not be lying!"

Neo chuckled. "If only I could get real secret agents. Then again, they'd probably want more money. Well, I guess I should take my leave." and before the otter could say anything else, the feline vanished in to the crowd.

Rage filled Gideron. He'd been tricked. He wanted to kick the cat in the chest, hurl his sword into his retreating back, something. But he could not. He clenched his fists and vibrated in the seat till his anger boiled over, then slumped and planted his face on the table.

For a while he sat there, the waitress wise enough to leave him be. Even if the people were just day hires, it wouldn't have changed the situation any. He'd made his decision based on the possibility that they could be either with the cat, or completely innocent bystanders. That they were a little of both changed nothing. He'd ride the wave and find a way to make it out of this alive.

Even with that in mind, his good mood from moments before was utterly gone. He stood up and began wandering towards the canal. It would be a good place to sit and think, assuming he could get his brain to operate in a more logical and linear fashion.

He was a block away from the water way when a thought struck him. If he offered extra pay or some sort of aid, perhaps that wolf and her clueless-eyed monkey would get his gun finished faster. The sooner the better.

He stopped just outside the door to the shop. There was glass on the ground. Well that had been there before...but not as much. A dustpan to and a...? He ducked forward, avoiding the windows and picked up the small red object. A tranc dart? A quiet low growl crawled between his clenched teeth. So trouble had caught up to him sooner than expected. Would they jack his weapon too? Leave him utterly helpless? Not gonna happen.

Drawing the sword, he slowly pushed the door open, then slipped inside and took up position in a dark corner. His foot brushed something. It was the monkey. He prodded him and got no response. Then stepped over him and peered around the corner into the next room.

The room was dark and dusty, as if nobody had been in there for years. Tools were scattered haphazardly throughout the room. Various large objects were hidden under a white sheet of cloth, the largest of which was sitting against the back wall. A computer sat on a desk in one corner, with numbers and spreadsheets covering the screen. On the wall opposite, there were various power tools hanging from carefully placed hooks. Among these were items such as power saws, electric drills, welding torches, and so on. At the wall on the right was another door. It was open just a crack, and an odd, musty scent floated from it.

At the center of the room was a large work bench, on which sat the Otter's goal, his crossbow gun. It had been restored to perfect condition, almost as if he had never broken it. It was laying out there in the open for him to easily grab and escape before things got too complicated. It was almost as if there was nothing to stop him...

Gideron put a foot forward, starting for the crossbow gun, then stopped and stepped back into the shadow. He wanted it back, but..the situation didn't feel right. The dusty room, the gun being finished in less than an hour when he'd been told a few days would be necessary...and the tranced monkey. He might be crazy, but he wasn't stupid.

Sword in hand he edged around the room to the other door. He plucked a specialized grenade from his belt and held it ready in his other hand as he peeked through.

The door was forced open from the other side and a body fell through the opening, collapsing with a loud thump on the floor. It was an old man with graying hair, and a black ensemble, a priest's stole around his neck. Blood pooled on the floor around the still body.

On the back of his body was a small, folded piece of paper that said "READ ME". Inside, it said:

Well, it seems you found the dead priest we put in here. Wow, it's amazing how gullible you are! This note's to tell you that we've turned all information over to the police, and we don't need your help anymore.

One more thing: this message has been slowly disintegrating since the moment you touched it. After about a minute, it should be completely gone!


The letter vanished in to a thin mist, and there was no evidence left save for the dead body.

The otter stepped back, his eyes flashing in rage. He'd been aimed like a bullet, not to kill but to...to take the blame. "Paint a target on my back..." he muttered.

He dismissed the idea of waiting for the police to arrive. Running would make him look guilty, but it seemed that he already did look that way. He ran the variables in his head. Whatever alibies or evidence in his favor, Neo's associates likely had more against him. Running was the only option. Likely it was exactly what they wanted him to do.

He arived at a desicion as sirens began to sound in the distance. He grabbed the gun and strapped it on. Then pushed a table against the door and heaved the limp monkey over his shoulder. There was no getting around the body without stepping in the blood. As he searched the back rooms for an exit he tracked it everywhere. He kicked open the back door and stepped out just as something began banging on the front door.

He'd gone three steps in the alley when two officers came around the corner. "Freeze!"

"It's still summer!" he shouted back, and tossed the two grenades he'd prepped earlier. The first was a flash bang, the sound pounding through his head as he turned his back to the blinding light. The second was a smoke screen. By the time re-enforcements arrived and the smoke had cleared, the mercenary and his unconscious package had vanished.
