Force Joe: Slow Burn

[spaxtersreborn]

"Guess you're wondering about the bullets, huh?" I muttered picking one up and examing it with the scopes built into my sun glasses frame. "They belong to some cat who wants me dead. I mean, there's a lot of people who want me dead, but this guy is obsessed or something. He's been chasing me all over the globe. He's a pretty good shot, but you might not want to stand too close to me." Well, this mission just got more dangerous... at least for me!

lovely, the guy is a target along with being a nut case. I'm still shaken by the call, why in hell would he call me now. I remembered something about the "package" he wanted me to transport, he'd said that it was the only thing that kept him in Cobra's ranks. Could it be...na there is no record of such a thing. I doubt a man like him would father a child and not care about the woman who bore it. His warning about watching out for the boys, that means he knows what the shooter is capable of, but why warn me. Unless...
"Get out now...the place is rigged..." I shouted as Tomi lifted a piece of the com jamming equipment.
I heard the pin pop as he lifted it. Frack...this is not going to be a good day. I ran toward the window, hoping I hit the ledge just right, Ichi was right behind me dragging the nut job. Tomi was hot on his heels...

"This place is rigged!" I hear Penny cry out. The next thing I know, someone's got my collar and I'm getting dragged towards a window... why does everyone want to throw me out of windows. The plate glass shatters under our combined weight. Penny and Tomi grab the ledge... The colar of my shirt chokes against my neck as I dangle there. Tomi swings me out and drops where I fall into a garbage dumpster. The others drop in after me. Seconds later a fire ball shoots out of the room. Why can't I go somewhere without someone trying to blow me up. At least Penny fell ontop of me.

Owww....even if it was a short drop it hurt. Not to mention I fell on the nut job. I'm surprised he didn't get his chest crushed when I landed. Tomi was murmuring about laying off squid after what he was pulling out of his hair. I saw a hand rise out of the refuse with a stained manga, followed by a grinning Ichi, leave it to him to find discarded pOrn. I reached my hand down to get the nut job to his feet, gods he weighs a ton. I think I dislocaed my shoulder when I landed, as it hurts like fracking hell.

We climed out, smelling of refuse before the nut job called the rest of our team over the wail of sirens. I checked prospero, happy to see that the 'pod wasn't damaged. If my tunes got destroyed I would have been very put out. I checked my sleaves next, a bit dented but nothing a hammer and a small anvil can't fix. Tomi was checking his gear, grubling as he adjusted his body armor. Ichi made a face as he pulled something that smelled like a skunk out from his body armor. The nut job was checking his shades, thinking we didn't notice. I'll have to get me a pair of those at some point, they might come in handy...
