First bounty
Part 2.
He was finished with his steak a few minutes later, but stayed at the table thinking. Mary came down and entered the dining are, clothed in a white shirt, and long blue jeans. She sat down at his table.
“So what did you order for me?” she asked.
“Nothing” john replied, getting up from the table.
“Where are you going?” asked Mary.
“Cleaning my guns, when you’re done come and get me we’ve got some trackin to do.” He replied walking towards the room. He still didn’t trust her, especially now that he wasn’t willing to kill her, he had heard of certain chemical perfumes that were supposed to have effects on people, such as lowering their aggressiveness, or lowering their inhibitions…
His thoughts were interrupted when his door was kicked open, he instinctively flipped the table he was behind over, granting him concealment. As the intruder opened up with a machine gun he snatched his revolver off the ground where it landed, and dove into the bathroom. He loaded his revolver with some of the lethal rounds he had brought, and peaked out while the intruder was reloading. He wore a black ski mask, and black baggy clothes. He was clearly incompetent, and was taking awhile to reload. John spun out from behind his cover, and squeezed off a shot, blowing off his assailants trigger finger, and quickley blew out his knee-cap. He walked over, and unmasked his attacker. It was nothing but red dust underneath. As he pulled the mask off it lost its solidity, and melted into a formless pile. Just then Mary came sprinting up the stairs. “What happened are you ok?” she asked.
“Yeah” he said
“What the hell is that?” she asked
“I have no idea.” He said, assembling his guns, and walking out the door “come on we gotta finish this bounty.” They walked out of the hotel, and down the street, and asked the first helodreman they met if they had seen the person they were tailing; he pointed them to the east. They set off, and it wasn’t long till an old defense tower came into view. It was exceedingly large, and had an auto cannon on the top, probably a .50cal.
“that’s gotta be where he is.” John said.
“why are you so sure?” Mary asked.
“They said he set off on foot, there’s nowhere else within walking distance.” John replied.
“What the hell is that anyway?” Mary asked.
“An old defense tower, a small one, not much of a reason to build a big one around here. Hell this place is probably never seen a corvida battle group, in fact there’s been rumors that the entire species has been wiped out, though I suppose most people who wander into their territory gets wiped out still… oh well were not here to figure that s**t out…” they entered the tower, trying for stealth, but the floor creaked with every step. They reached a corner, and john peaked around. He saw two men sitting at a table, the one that was facing him was their bounty, and the other had his back to them. He spun around with his shot gun, and put a stun round into the back of the mystery man. The bounty had a .9mm glock in his hand and began firing. John dove behind the kitchen counter to evade the gunfire. Mary was hit in the chest and went down. John looked up and saw their bounty run out the door. He looked at Mary, she was bleeding helpless. He could just leave her and go after the man, hell he’d done it before, survival of the fittest that was the hunters creed. In the end he couldn’t bring himself to let her die, he dragged her back to his bike, and bandaged her up to stop the bleeding, and hoisted her onto the bike. He knew she would be stable for a couple hours, so he went back for the man he had shot, to see if e knew where his buddy was headed. He tied him up to the back of the cycle, and set off for the helodreman town. When he arrived he went to the doctor’s office, and walked up to the lizard that was apparently running the place. “Hello, and welcome to Slink’s office, what can slink do for you? “The lizard asked, seeing the wounded felidan being dragged into the office.
“She was shot I need you to patch her up.” He replied
“Lay her on the table in the back please.” He said, beginning to examine her. About an hour later he came out, a little blood on his smock “she’ll be fine, you got her here in pretty good condition I didn’t have to do much, just remove the bullet, and apply a bit of keltro oil to speed the healing.” He said
“I’m glad how much do I owe you?” john asked.
“I just need enough to reimburse for the oil, and a bit of food so...60 bucks.” The lizard said.
“Hmm your not like most other helodremans are you, I noticed you don’t carry you s’s either.” He said
“No I do regret how the others are but I try to be good, charitable, hell it’s why I became a doctor, I see things more important than money.” He said “I just wish I could get outta this god-awful town.”
“Hmm well how much would it take to get you on retainer if I were to ask you to come with me on my bounties?” john asked, knowing a good, honest doctor was hard to come by.
“Well if you feed me and don’t mind me helping people wherever we go that’ll be enough for me.” The lizard replied.
“done.” John said offering his hand to be shaken. The lizard accepted it as the captured out-law awoke. “Well well look who’s awake so are you gonna tell me where your little buddy went or am I gonna have to get…persuasive.” John asked in his intimidating, low tone.
“I’ll tell ya it won’t do ya no good anyway, he’s headin into the demondontin territory.” He said.
“The what? Quit babbling and start making sense.” John said, feigning anger.
“ahh one of the ignorant ones… heh the demondontins are the ones who exterminated the corvidans, its their fault that the corvidans attacked our society in the first place, and that they stopped, buying you a few years at most, he him backing the winning side the demondonts are superior even to the eutherians as soon as you all fall they will destroy the savage tribes of the north…” with this the outlaws voice trailed off as he expired.
“What the ********” john exclaimed why’d he just die? Slink walked over, and checked the body
“He poisoned himself”. He said
“Wow that’s impressive you didn’t even have to draw blood or anything how do you know?
“There’s a syringe in his hands.” He said.
“Oh…, well I suppose id better get comfortable and wait for Mary to wake up…” john said, sitting into a chair next to the door.
