Chapter Three: Ignition

[Leo]

The sun sat over Manhattan as I came back into the southern districts on the planet. It was friday and the clubs were just warming up. I decided that if anyone knew anything about Shan, it would be here. I stopped by a clothes shop and disarmed outside in the alley next door. I walked inside and got a suit, a rather expensive one and made sure that it was custom tailored on the spot. I exited the shop and came to a club a few hours later. "The Figure".

As soon as I got to the front the bouncer crossed his arms and eyed me up and down. He nodded his head and opened the rope to let me in, I nodded and walked through the front door and scoped out the people in the club. I didn't see anyone that stood out until I started looking around and noticed several people walking around giving me some glances. Why they did I didn't know, I was in a casual suit with no real outstanding qualities at the moment.

That's when I noticed him, his face was obvious. Commander Jadyn was eyeing me from across the bar smiling. He walked over to me and stood near me.

"I told you we would meet again didn't I?" he said smiling.

"You did, but I didn't think you would track me down so quickly."

He laughed and shook his head. That's when he looked around and panicked for a brief moment but relaxed.

"I'll find you again Leo, we will finish this later, too many witnesses."

He walked off quickly in another direction, walking quickly through the crowd in an attempt to dissappear. I looked to where he looked and saw a man presuing him through the crowd, on his hip shined a badge. I smiled a little and looked to where he was going, maybe, it was possible...

Commander Jadyn knew something about this "Tainted" group, and could give me some info on where to find Shan. I verified I still had my handgun on me and walked quietly through the crowd towards the obvious police man who was following Jadyn, if I killed him, I might have a chance of getting some kind of info out of him before he tried to kill me.
