Nickels and Nails

[Leo]

Present Day, Planet Hamburg, Hamburg System

Nails, what time is it? Nickels asked.

1300 sharp, the exact time he said he would meet us here with the passenger. I swear if its a hostage sent to the slaughter by the Rogues, Im leaving.

For someone so big and bulky, you sure are a baby.

For someone so small, you sure do talk a lot of s***.

Touche.

Their contact called them as soon as they reached orbit and informed them to wait at this point on the planet to be approached. The idea was discomforting to Nails. This was the perfect place for an ambush, and an ideal place to not be heard if gunshots rang through the silent night sky. Nails wasnt afraid, he was confident that even with a bullet through his chest he could still take out who ever shot him first. However, the thought still sent small shivers up his spine.

Where is he? Nails asked again.

I dont know. Think it might be a set up? Nickels asked looking around with suspicion.

I dont know, maybe

Two gunshots rang in the silence and screaming down the street. As the two walked out they saw an expensive hovercar drop to the ground and land. A man climbed out and stumbled over to Nails. He collapsed in his arms, blood getting all over Nails shirt.

Jesse, quick, find help!

Were in the middle of fracking no where Josh! What do you want me to do scream for help? No one will hear us!

The man looked up at Nails with pain and only breathed his last breath and died in his arms.

Think this was the mission? Do dispose of the body? Nails asked Jesse with a dangerous stare.

Hey look, we need to get back to the meeting area, we have an arrangement to do.

Nickels ran back around the corner and Nails only looked at the dead man in the suit, now laying on the ground, the pool of blood growing around him.

May you find peace in the next world, stranger.

Nails ran back around the corner to find Nickels talking to a woman and a little girl. Turns out, there was a problem in the womans family. The husband was dangerous and was after the girl, wanted custody and wanted a flight out of Hamburg back into Liberty space. Nickels agreed and took the credits.

Do we need to still be on guard? Nickels asked with a stare of his own.

Yes. Nails replied climbing into his own ship.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
