As the Rocket propelled Midget, with Sin on his back, soared to the city, Sin said "I STILL Cant believe that rocket could fit up there!" They crash landed in an alley-way, behind Moxxi's.

Sin kicked the midget off the side of the city, and walked out. He saw a few people here and there, as well as Crimson raiders. His attention turned to a large sign over a doorway that said, in big beautiful letters, 'GUNS'.

He walked in, and Marcus looked up. "Ah! A New customer! Welcome to my humble business!"

"Have any explosives? Preferably remote detonated?"

"Uh, hmm...Let me check." Marcus walked to the back of the store, and brought back some C-4 charges.

"Also, do you have anything sharp? Preferably like a sword or something?"

"Um No...I do have this corrosive SMG with a bayonet attachment?"

"By corrosive, you mean melts faces right?" "Yep" "Good! Ill take it!"

"That'll be $15,000" Sin frowned. He had no money. He simply smiled, and pulled out his trust pistol 'The Sinner' and pointed it in Marcus' face.

"Nice try, but you wouldn't shoot me in this city. The Raiders would kill you before you could make the door"

Sin simply smiled, grabbed the gun and explosives, and backed towards the door.

"Stop right there" He heard a familiar voice, he turned around and saw the Slab king, and a woman.

"Oh god. You again?" Brick said.

"You know this guy?" Lilith said.

"This is that Sin guy."

"Him? He killed all the slabs and almost killed yo?"
"Yep"

"Okay then. Sin, could you come with us? We're not gonna kill you, and we'll even pay for your new gun, and those explosives." Lilith said, and Sin simply said "I should trust you why?" "You're still breathing aren't you?" "Touche."

Sin lowered his guard, and followed them to the Crimson Raiders HQ. Tannis turned and said "Oh great, you brought another neanderthal." Sin followed them upstairs. "We have a job for you, Mercenary." Lilith said.

"I have a price...and a name" "What's the price then 'Sin'?"

"Depends. What's the job?"

"Its simple, we need you to break into Friendship Gulag, and steal some Hyperion files."

"Consider it done. I'll do it, for $3000."

"Wow. Only $3000?"

"It sounds so much fun, that I can't possibly charge you too much! I mean you've been so generous already!"

Sin peaked around the corner, looking at two HOT Loaders. He smiled. This was gonna be fun. He snuck up behind one, and shoved it into the other, and stabbed both with his Katana.

He heard an engineer yell "Stop Right there!" Sin smiled, and threw his blade, going right between the engineer's eyes. It was party time. Sin pulled out his brand new corrosive SMG, and opened fire on the robot hordes coming towards him. He unsheathed his buzzaxe, and smiled. Buzzaxe in one hand, Katana in another he jumped in the middle of the Loaders and Soldiers. He started to slice and dice. He disemboweled one soldier with his buzzaxe, and gave one a 'smile' with his katana. He seen the building he needed to get into. Where the files were. He grabbed a nearby rocket launcher, that used to be part of a loader.

He fired it at the compound, and walked in. Ouch. The adrenaline was wearing off. He had definitely been shot a few times. He shrugged off the pain, as he heard reinforcements round the corner. He pulled out a grenade and rolled it down the corridor, just at the soldiers rounded the corner. It exploded, sending body parts everywhere.

Sin laughed as blood and limbs rained around him. He saw a series of room. He finally found what he was looking for 'ES-69' "HA! 69" Sin giggled, as he walked in. He opened a file cabinet, and saw a file 'SAINT, DAMIEN.' He raised an eyebrow. The name sounded so familiar. He grabbed the file, pulled out the paperwork and folded it up, placing it in pocket, to look at later.

He looked for the files he was sent after. He scratched his head in frustration. He looked around "Maybe I have the wrong room?" He said to himself, He grabbed a book off a nearby shelf, flipping through it in boredom, when the shelf moved. Revealing a secret room and the files.

"Ah-Ha! The old 'secret room behind the bookcase' trick!"

He tossed the book down, grabbed the file, and left the compound, only to see 3 buzzards outside.

"DROP THE FILES, OR WE WILL SHOOT"

Sin smiled, and looked at the nearby watch tower. He had a detonator in his hand. "Hope you went to the Prometheus school of running away from things!" "What?" Sin pressed the button, and explosions detonated on the tower, causing it to collapse and crush the buzzards in the rubble.

Sin threw the files before Lilith and said "Where's my money?"

"How did yo- That was a suicide mission!"

"Yeah, I noticed. But nothing a few guns, and military grade explosives cant fix!"

Lilith gave him the money, and Sin turned to leave. He needed to see Zed. Bullet wounds were not fun.

Later that night, Sin was laid up beside a dumpster outside of Moxxi's, after a long night of drinking. He took the file from his pocket, and looked at it. It said

DAMIEN SAINT

Colonel in Hyperion Military

KIA by Crimson Raider Forces 2845

Family: Wife. One son: Ethan Saint

Wife killed by Bandits, Son missing. Thought have been taken by Bandits.

The file had a picture of Damien. He looked so familiar. Sin couldn't quite place it. He'd have to get back to this. And Ethan Saint. It sounded oddly familiar. Perhaps one of his many victims? No. He would remember killing a kid. Which he never did. It was one of his few boundaries. One of few things he wouldn't do. He drifted off to sleep.

He woke up the next morning, hungover, with a kink in his neck.

"Huh? Shit, where am I?"

He stood, staggered a bit, and went to the Crimson Raiders HQ. Tannis said "Hello you. You're just the mouth-breather I was looking for. I have a job for you." Sin raised an eyebrow "Im listening"

"How do you feel about the Caustic Caverns?"
