Ch 7. A Bounty Hunter? (Carrath)
Chapter note: This chapter will be in Carrath's first-person POV .
I made my way out into Tatooine's hot desert sun. I needed a break, we had tried to find out where to get jobs, but we came to no conclusion. I had my blaster hanging from my belt as I approached a citizen.
"Anywhere I can find work here," I asked hopeful.
"Well if your skilled with a blaster go to the cantina and talk to Dolom, he can set you up," he replied shrugging me off.
I made my way to the cantina full of vibrant anticipation, I may have found work now! As I walked into the bar people were bustling about talking, enjoying the live dancers and music, and drinking some corellian ale. Lights were blinding me as I tried to find Dolom, but eventually I found the Duros.
"I want to be a bounty hunter, I hear you could help me out with that," I told him.
"Maybe, but one particular person is looking for a way to ruin my business, I have set quite a bounty on his head, if you are interested."
"How big are we talking," I said grinning eagerly.
"How does 3000 credits sound to you," he asked.
"Perfect, and if I kill him, then I get a list of marks, right?" I asked though it was more of a demand.
"Yeah but you will have some competition of course," he replied with a smirk.
"The more the better," I chuckled as I walked off. I went outside and began to walk towards the nearest citizen. He eyed me suspicously for some reason but I ignored it.
"Do you know where I can find a man who is trying to overrun Dolom," I asked.
"Yeah, his name is Opa and he stole my slave from me, if you promise to get it back then I will gladly tell you where to find him."
"You got a deal, so where is he," I growled.
"He should be hiding out near the docks." he told me pointing in the direction I should go. I followed the path he pointed out and met with a black skinned human male. He was messing with a nearby ship, which had the words Dolom on them.
"You must be Opa?" I asked, "I'm here for the bounty on your head, and the slave in your possession."
"Wha.. .t" he stammered and drew his blaster, but never had a chance to use it. By the time he was aimed I had already shot him in his left knee causing him to crumple over and drop his weapon. He was strong though, he managed to swing his arm towards the gun. I shot his hand and he cried out in pain as he drew his hand to his side.
"Owwww," he screamed in pain, "what do you want to keep me alive, please, anything?"
"3000 credits and your slave also you sponsor a bounty hunting business, and give me a list of marks here in Tatooine and you pay me for their deaths, what you get the money from is not my concern," I laughed ready to fire at him.
"Okay, I'll do it take the money and the slave from my house, just don't kill me I'll give the list to you tommorow find me in my house it isn't far from hear," he spoke in shear desperation.
I hung my blaster back on my belt and walked off towards the man's house. When I arrived the slave was waiting at the door to the house.
"Well hello, my name is Gren Telso, I am the slave for master Opa."
"You are now mine, go back to my apartment and I will tell you what I wish you to do," I dismissed him.
"Yes master," he bowed and left. I found his cache of money and I took the 3000 credits he promised and I made my way back to our apartments, very satisfied.
Chapter note: This shows a dark side of Carrath that I will enjoy writing. He is only like this away from the crew. From here on out I will be switching characters at random, unlike the beginning. I will note who I am in the beginning note always! Please REVIEW!
