<strong>Location:</strong>Last Chance's Market<br/><strong>Characters Present:</strong>Mega (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=342380.msg16189650#msg16189650), Jessica (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=342380.msg16190505#msg16190505), Marshal (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=342380.msg16189733#msg16189733)<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>None.<br/><hr/>Marshal watched the Devil Dogs at the other end of the street with mixed emotions. Once Marshal had been one of them. Then he had fallen in love and had run, seeking a better life.<em>"What a fuck-up I was. If we had both stayed here, she would still be alive."</em>left unsaid was that Dianah hadn't wanted the life in Last Chance. Marshal shook his head. Prez, the former Hardholder of the Devil Dogs, had once said - only the strong survive. Marshal chuckled out loud.<em>"How the hell did that work out for you, asshole? It should have been stronger together."</em><br/><br/>Marshal spotted Mega and got a smile on his face.<em>"I owe her one. If not for her help, I'd likely be distilling in the Bio-Diesel vat. And none of the Devil Dogs will cross me because they know they'll like to wind up facing down Mega if they do. Hell, she's better than a rottweiler."</em>Marshal grimaced,<em>"And she one of a small group that knows enough to get nowhere near the PIA that running this place is."</em><br/><br/>Marshal smiled and nodded at a few people in the market as he strolled along.<em>"Managing by Walking Around, some old fogie had called it."</em>In this case, Marshal knew from first-hand experience that sitting in the office waiting for someone to report was a bad idea. No one wanted to tell the boss bad news, and if the boss didn't spot it, a lot of things were likely to fester till they blew up in your face.
