"We're here," Carlos said as he looked at the city from the other side of the river. Ning stood next to him as well, looking at the bridge that was mostly filled with other people.
"So, what now?" Ning asked. "Do I get paid or is there some more work?"
"I need to get the crystal to the boss," Carlos said. "But I don't know who exactly I can trust right now. Anyone could have betrayed the boss and is waiting for us in ambush."
"So… no 'loud Silence'?" Ning asked.
"I can't trust anyone, even if they know the secret code. I must go meet the boss himself and hand over the crystal and information to him," Carlos said.
"So you know where he is?" Ning asked.
Carlos nodded. "Let's go," he said and started walking.
Ning placed his sword through the belt around his tunic to hold it for now. There was no cloth that was wrapping the sword, so he had to be careful not to be seen by some city guard or he would be in some more trouble.
