It may have come as a surprise, but there was a large open garden like a field behind the house, sectioned off by a row of trees at its end, which served almost like a fence. He looked definitively like he knew where he was going, and he crossed that grassy expanse and into the wooded area beyond it. It was hard to say with certainty what lay back there, especially at night, but then she heard talk.<br/><br/>"Max, is that you?" A man's gruff voice carried a note of wariness. "Yeah, who else is it gonna be," the suited man spoke, presumably the one Babs had been following. "Could be anyone. We weren't expecting you back so quickly." The suited man spoke again, "yeah well, we've got trouble. The question is how much. It could be competition." The voices quietened after that, and it became apparent that Babs would need to slink closer to get a better look at what was back there or have a real chance of overhearing anything else.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Babs Post</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=208456.msg10473115#msg10473115">Quote from: Senti on 09-09-2014, 15:51:43</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn0hy-8vTeE</div></div>(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSHpzlTj0RCU_lHFINhjhDOyIeWIvjo__Hcf32_vUIdd-muv7Rhxw)<br/><br/> Present day<br/>Location the gardens<br/>Tagging some folks the shadows<br/><br/><br/><br/>Babs listened carefully to the voices in the darkness, and remained amidst the shadows, still trying to catch more details of what exactly might be going on, and of course the reader was aware she may have to fill in the blanks and make sense of it somehow, yet this was not overly difficult, for one with her training. Well at least one of her expertise. <br/><br/>The fact was it did not matter if the Captain was going to give her a place on the ship, Nomad was involved and she’d learned one helped out old comrades, even after a few years. Of course some might see her as idealistic, but hell it had got her thus far, why change the ethics of a lifetime.  Her breath was so slow now and her eyes sharp, her hearing honed. <br/><br/>Like some feline Babs moved slowly and with a sinuous feline grace, within  the shadows and through the trees, as well as ornaments and other parts of the gardens. She really knew how to remain unseen.<br/><br/><br/><em>Just a little closer…<br/><br/>Just a little…</em><br/><br/>One step one paddy paw and another step.<br/><br/>With her mind sharp and her body tuned Babs was ready for almost any eventuality, she blinked a number  of times playing various scenario’s over in her mind, just so she would be ready.<br/><br/><em>One two buckle my shoe<br/>Three four knock at the door…</em><br/><br/>Babs waited until she could pass on that which was needed or at least as much as she could gather. Still  this one  knew she needed to be fast, but yet a few more moments might add more to the puzzle. All that mattered now was to keep an ear open for those that might not be expected before her return. Also to keep certain folks safe...<br/><br/>This Veteran was the Ghost and the Darkness…<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">GM Post</span><br/>Mason Kincaid's Party, Southdown, Persephone<br/>Tagging - Babs<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://imageshack.com/a/img673/7898/ebGtLD.jpg)</div><br/>Babs made it to the line of trees without being noticed, as far as she could tell. There were no shouts, shady figures in the darkness nor anyone trying to kill her. All of that war-time practise had leant her a great deal of stealth. Once she got a look through that treeline, she knew there was a ship back there, landed and powered down. It was a bit bigger than Man's Ruin but it had a more sleek profile, suggesting it was probably newer and built with a greater emphasis on speed than cargo. That said, it was hard to make out the specifics of it in the darkness. She could tell that the bay door was open, with one man standing on the ramp while 'Max' sat on the side of it, puffing on a cigar.<br/><br/>No, they didn't know she was there. There was some clattering inside the ship, suggesting another person in there, but she got no line of sight on the cause. The men were silent, then the man Max had spoken to - he was tall with a beard, and had firearms holstered on each hip - expressed his misgivings. "There's always gonna be someone tryin'a get the better of us. It just so happens that we know who it is this time. They attack us, we put them down like the dogs they are. It ain't gonna stop the job gettin' done, and I doubt that's their care. They want the asset and that ain't gonna happen."<br/><br/>Max sighed. "I wish they would just attack us and be done with it. Then we'd know they ain't gonna be following us or we don't need to deal with their shit later. All I need is the Captain's say so and I'd put a bullet in 'em right now." The man on he ramp answered. "That's not the plan. We stick to the plan til we hear otherwise." Max grunted, then stubbed out his cigar on the ground, and walked up into the ship leaving the bearded man on guard duty alone.<br/>
