"Ugh, no one turned the lights on in here." Tess activated a switch and lights flickered on. "Let there be light." Bo chuckled.
"So your God now?"
"Depends on what mood I'm in." Tess snickered. The three continued on into a room with there get in it. "Alright pack up." The three grabbed they're bags and guns, as well as there gun holsters. "Not a lotta' ammo." Joel grumbled.
"Well, brother you gotta make your shots count." Bo spoke up. He a standard 9 mm pistol while Joel had a revolver. It fit his style. Texan cowboy walking into the streets. Bo grabbed his bag next, it being a hunting bag, Joel's being a snap sac. "Don't forget L's." No went back and grabbed L's stuff realizing how mildly heavy it was. "Damn it. L's damn mask and Enforcer. Plus he's got all that .50 ammo." L's Enforcer was basically a Desert Eagle. He scribbled 'Enforcer' on the barrel. He was lucky he found a pretty stylish Desert Eagle at that. The pistol had personal swirls and hand crafted style to it. Bo handed Joel L's military backpack. The three walked they're way around the checkpoint and used they're path for smuggling things.
Not to soon they ended up in a small work place. It led directly to the Black Market. Tess knocked on the door from the inside and a kid opened it. She showed a few ration cards. "Make sure there's no solders round' got it?" The kid nodded and took the ration cards. The three waited for the kid and finally the kid knocked on the door, saying the area was good. The three stepped out and they sauntered into the Black Market. The three heard a scuffle going on and they knew it was L. Finding what was going on the three watched L beat the hell out of a man. People were cheering and booing. L got the man into a knockout position, his arms around the guys neck. Soon the man passed out and L released him. He saw the trio and smirked. He walked over while adjusting his knit cap. "If it isn't the three losers!" He said smiling. He always had a way to smile. The three chuckled and gave L handshakes and hugs. Joel handed him his backpack which he ravaged through immediately he grabbed his mask which was gray and had eye holes, or, lenses to see through. It also had a creepy toothy grin. He clipped it to his pants. He pulled out his Enforcer and holstered it. "Alright let's go slow pokes." He walked ahead and the trio following. L looked at a store quickly and continued only for Joel to walk passed him. They walked through a bus and a man stood up in Joel's way. "Where do ya' think you're goin'?"
"Terence sit down." L spoke up.
"Oh, sorry L. I didn't know he was with you." They got out of the bus and Bo spoke up. "So what was with that?"
"What Bo? I basically run this place. I'm everyone's Dad, mother, brother and rapist uncle!" Tess slugged him in the shoulder. "Damn! With Tess' help of course." The trio walk to the end of the Black Market that was an alley way. There was a man leaning against a wall. Tess walked up to him. "Where's Robert?" She said while holding some ration cards. The man took them and offered his information. "The old wharf." The crew walked away. "How'd you know we could trust him?" Joel asked.
"Brother, brother. Why so many questions? All we needed was the info and we got it." L answered. Walking to the entrance to the wharf the crew walked into some, thugs working for Robert. "The fuck you guys want?"
"Woah! Such hostility with this one!" L cracked.
"Look, we just wanna talk to Robert."
"Robert don't wanna talk."
"Well, we do."
"Listen bitch, I will beat the shit outta you if you don't get outta here." Tess scoffed and looked at L.
"Oh, fuck that." L said calmly while pulling out his Enforcer and firing two shots into the man. He fell back lifeless, and his friends took cover. The crew did as well. "Hey, Joel and Bo. Go around and get 'em." L ordered. The two brothers stalked around and flanked the thugs. Once the men were dead Bo took the ammo in they're guns. The four smugglers progressed and took care of any others. Arriving at the wharf the group caught a glimpse of Robert. The bastard walked back to his hideout. "Let's get the fucker." Bo looked at L.
"How are we gonna get him with all of those assholes down there?""Simple. We kill 'em." L said calmly. Bo sighed but was aboard with this plan. Each of them had they're own way of taking care of the thugs. L was more violent, Bo and Joel were more aggressive stealth. And Tess was a silent as a ghost. Once most of the goons were taken care of L stretched. "Well there's the rest of 'em."
"Over here!"
"Welp, there's more." L pointed out. The four had a shoot out with the rest of the thugs. Once that was done the four walked into the office area of the wharf. Joel and Tess were on the opposite sides of the door, weapons drawn. L kicked opened the door and quickly hid next to Joel when Robert opened fire. "Jesus Rob! We just wanna talk!" L snarked.
"Fuck you L and fuck the rest of ya'!" Robert yelled. He eventually ran out of bullets and he threw his pistol at them, running. "We gotta runner!" Tess shouted running after him. The four pursued the terrified man. Robert ran out of sight, however it proved useless. Robert struggled to open a fence. "Come on you piece of shit!" The gang caught up with Robert and he sighed. Joel leaned against a wall with Bo, while L and Tess stood in the middle of the alley. "Guys. No hard feelings right?"
"Oh no. Best buds." L responded. Robert made a break for it but was tripped aggressively by Tess with a lead pipe. Robert reeled on the ground. L walked up to his arm and held it straight. "S-stop! What do ya' want?"
"Our guns Rob." Said plainly. "Where are they?"
"I-I can't." L stood back up and stomped on Robert's face. He went back to holding his arm. "Wa-wait!" Silence was all that was there. "I-I sold them." L broke his arm.
"L?!"
"Well, he fuckin' deserves it Bo! What the fuck Rob?! Who'd you sell them too?"
"I can't tell." He heard the safety of L's pistol disarm. "Fireflies! I-I owed the Fireflies."
"Fuck!" L shouted.
"L-look! They're basically dead! Why don't we just storm in there, wipe 'em out?! What do ya say? Yeah, fuck those Fireflies!" L looked at his brothers, then at Tess.
"That's is a stupid idea." The brothers said in unison before L placed two bullets in Roberts skull. The echoing sound of gunshots filled the air. Once the sound was gone Joel sighed. "What are we gonna do?"
"Find ourselves a Firefly."
"You won't have to look far." A new voice filled the conversation. The leader of the Fireflies. Marlene.
"Well, I think we found the best kind if Firefly. Royalty. Queen Firefly." L snarked.
"I'm looking for Robert." L stifled a laugh while showing Robert's corpse. Marlene sighed.
"I need him alive."
"Alive, dead, who gives a fuck?" L said.
"What do you want with him?" Bo said.
"Complitcated. What about you?"
"He sold our guns to you and we need them back."
"Shit." Marlene said to herself. "Look, I have a way for both of us to get what we want. Come on." The sound of the quarantine workers made they're minds.
"Fuck you L!" L stomped on the soldiers face who insulted him. He then grabbed a brick and smashed his head in repeatedly. Bo walked up to him and stopped him. "Let's get going." The four followed Marlene and blocked the door behind them. Walking ahead they found themselves at a abandoned kitchen, the door to the entrance was locked. "Joel, help me with this." Marlene sighed. Joel opened the door and Marlene stumbled in. "Oh, come on now." L said, trying to help the woman up. A small hand lunged at him and he quickly grabbed it. "Get the fuck away from her!" A girl threatened. L pulled out his Enforcer and placed the barrel at the girl's head. The girls breathing stopped. "Stop! L! She's the thing that you'll escort for your guns."
"The fuck are we doing?" L said taking the safety off.
"I said stop. She needs to be smuggled out of the city." L laughed out loud.
"We're smuggling her?" Joel asked.
"Yes."
"You fucking with me." Bo said, head in his hands.
"Look. You weren't the first my opinions. Or my last. So, just smuggle her and you'll get your guns."
"No way." Joel said.
"Look, she's just cargo Joel." Tess chuckled. "What do we have to do?"
"Take her to the Captiol buliding."
"That's pretty far."
"There's Fireflies there that will take her. Being her there and the guns are yours. Double."
"Whatever. I don't want that brat anywhere near me."
"Oh, come on Joel! She's pretty cute! Yes your are! Ow! Son of a bitch!" L teased before being punched in the stomach. The brothers chuckled.
"Don't I get a say in this?"
"No." Everyone but the girl said.
"Tess, you come with me to check out the merchandise." Marlene spoke. Tess shrugged and wished the brothers good luck. The brothers walked out with the girl and L stared up a conversation. "Shut up L." Joel and Bo said. The door closed only leaving the ladies. Marlene sighs. "Don't worry. She's in good hands." Tess reassures.
