Interlude

Beltway was enjoying the day so far.

Pike not so much, but that could be forgiven seeing as how Pike never is in the best of moods. In some ways similar to Bragg but for different reasons. Pike was that way because of nature, Bragg often had bouts of grumpiness because of past experiences.

The mercenary imagined that Bragg must be having some fun, though, seeing as how they had Belmont in custody; and that pistol they found on the freelancer seemed to change his attitude real fast.

He assumed it was because of their former, Walker. Just hearing it was her's brought back more than a few memories for the merc.

She was beautiful in her own way; made all the guys crazy the way she shot down all their advances, and with her looks that must have made them even crazier. Especially Bragg. So for Belmont to have her favorite weapon must have meant he was something special to her and Beltway knew his boss would be all over trying to learn the truth.

It almost made the cold-blooded merc feel sorry for the freelancer.

As he walked through the halls, he noticed one of the doors was open and opted to investigate, inside he found a body and muttered "Shit!" before running to find Bragg.

Trouble had found its way to the castle.
