**Route 28**<br/><br/>"Sounds like quite a few leads to go on. I can escort you while you investigate both; or do the investigations myself, though I'll charge a bit extra for that.  I'm definitely on board. While it doesn't seem like it will be too much of a challenge, I must admit to being quite curious about what the second phase of your plan would be. Besides that, money's money, and a job's a job."<br/><br/>"I'm willing, at this point, to start negotiating the price of this, if you are. My standard rate is travel expenses, and, if I'm escorting you, 100 for every hostile creature that I have to deal with. If you're more the kind to wait, and send me off on a scavenger hunt, it'll be 750 up front to cover my expenses, and 100 for every day it takes me, with that being paid upon satisfactory completion of the task." Despite his somewhat odd choice of words, his tone of voice remains fairly monotone; strictly business-like, even if some of his terms--like 'scavenger hunt'-- seemed more casual than professional.<br/><br/>
