Chương 36: What did you say?
A few days after they left Desrosa, Tral and Darick finally get back to Riddick's place in new Riddick's Reaver bounty hunter armor to easily blending into the scoundrels in the main room.
They decide to hang out by the bar for a bit to listen in on the crowd which are talking about different jobs. One conversation in particular draws their attention.
"Heard the boss is freaking out these last couple days like a demon crawled up his ass to chew at his core" One hunter was going on about.
"well whatcha reckon it is, someone he owes money to or something?" asks his companion
"well I don't rightly know Qin Meng wanted to run off n hide in some bunker but the boss just slapped him silly saying some shit like 'then they'll think it was us idiot' but I reckon someone gots killed who shouldn't of been made dead and now the boss is trying to stay the hell out of the line of fire I do." the first hunter guesses to the general agreement of his companions.
This story intrigued the duo but they brushed it off as interesting rumors before they decided to head up to meet Riddick. All they had to do even though they looked like most reaver hunters was say they came to collect information from the boss to be let up immediately.
Once upstairs they say Riddick behind his desk which was over flowing with all manner of documents which he was nervously going over looking like an absolute wreck very much unlike his usual self. "I told you if it's not important fuck off!" he yelled horsley but jumped right out of his chair at the response from Tral "what I didn't pay you enough to make us import you crazy bastard?"
"T-tral it's you, of-of course not. Shit um.. please sit down" He barely manages to say before gesturing to the coach that is still in front of his desk.
"I got a lot of this intel you asked for.. but I.. I just.. Look I had nothing to do with it ok.. j-just hear me out here" he stammers clearly freaking out.
Tral starts to get serious narrowing his eyes "what are you talking about, this isn't like you... what happened?"
"Ok so I made sure to get as much information as I could for you but seriously I don't want anything to do with this, ok" He starts to explain "your bounty is all over the city and well.. um.. you're sister she.."
"Where's my sister!" Tral jumps up to grab Riddick by the collar making him talk faster "I don't know ok, she's disappeared but your friend Arc is iun custody in the city lords district the seventh district guarded by some serious powers that freak me right out. That guy Prudence is there and he isn't even one of the big shots, it's getting really crazy from the fourth district up."
"WHAT!?! Tell me everything you know NOW!" Tral bellows his eye twitching as Riddick explains how Need-A-Hand? got searched by an armed squad of rubber hazmat troopers and how Tral and Darick's pictures were all over the upper districts.
The duo were stunned at all this, Tral was shaking with rage. "Well Gara isn't here.. or is she? *smash*... No FUCK... where is she? This is really bad."
"Calm down Tral, we need cool heads to think this one out, what would Arc say right now" Darick suggests trying to think.
"He would come up with some crazy plan that I don't fucking know Darick, I don't do that shit man. My plans are buy it or kill it and I don't know how to do either of those in this situation.. Riddick you got a hidden army several times stronger then I know about some where up your ass?"
"Hell no Tral, I can't even deal with you." Riddick immediately responds throwing his hands up in the air.
Darick suddenly thinks of something "well we could get him to contact the resistance even though they hate me, they definitely don't want Arc or Gara captured ... but they might just try to kill them... or how about Dimitri as that guy is pretty connected?"
Tral immediately dismisses that "He or someone from the Twisted Dragon was probably who ratted us out. No-one else knew our shop.. could try and ask the old man if he is still around but that geezer sure does get around, can you ask around for that information guru Riddick?"
"sure, what's his name" he responds to complete silence.. before Tral replied "He was working at Gizardo's last we met.. If you ask around I'm sure there's not too many crazy old information guru's."
Riddick shakes his head "you just described at least a third of the information guru's so many are crazy old farts.."
"Fuck this wouldn't be a problem if we were just strong enough to fight our way through" Tral freaks out before suddenly stopping completely still "Ya if I just had a little more power Ah ha ahahA AHAHAHAHA" he starts bursting out laughing so full of Insanity that the other two get really scared.
"Um Tral... you alright there buddy, it's ok we'll find some way to fix this" Darick tries to reassure his friend when Tral suddenly stops laughing completely serious and turns to Riddick white as a ghost, staring daggers into his eyes to say something that sends shivers down both their spines.
"I need you to find me the most powerful vampire you can."
