Supply Run

[Tia]

Tia knew that Radical City had become a pool of the lawless and the biggest place of sinner's on the planet since Sarath's attack. It also happened to be a place were someone such as herself could roam freely without a second throught of police... though that came at the price of criminals and theifs, which to her was never a threat in the first place.

She was going to Viper's old shop or at least what was left of it. She walked down the ruined street and looked into the once former weapon shop. The major weapons and displays all blank and bns once full of random weaponary now having nothing but a crawling spider.

She felt the shop did not have enough light in it before when she visited but now it just seemed like something out of a horror movie. She moved through the broken window and made her way up the stairs. She opened the door into the living room area... or at least whats left of it.

The TV, Sofa, and even the table were gone. The spots they once were in still having inprints on the carpet were they once were. She made her way left into the kitchen, the frig was gone. The dishwasher had been taken apart it seemed as the door and may peices inside were all over the place.

She walked around the corner into the small hall.

Shuffle

The sound of cloth being moved could be heard. Tia knew she was not alone right now. She reached her hands to her side, taking the handle of her katar into her right hand as she stealth walked down the hallway, glancing back and forth to confirm it was not coming from behind.

Another scavenger perhaps?

Tia carefully looked into the bed room. The bed had been most stripped of everything, the mattress remained only cause it was too big and not worth enough. She scanned the room, finally catching the what was causing the noise. A male weasel was shuffling through a desk drawer. He was taking look at items and then sticking them in his rucksack.

"What a jackpot today!"

He seemed pleased with the drawers contents. Tia was a bit surprised, she had been here a week ago while Viper was still out but didn't find anything important. She glanced at the drawer he was taking stuff out of. It was a full iron table and drawers, and the drawer he was taking out of one she was sure had been very well locked. She guessed he knew how to open locks since the drawer was open.

Well it isn't his so...

She sneaked right into the room when the weasel went looking in the drawer again. She carefully stepped behind the weasel, keeping her distance just enough so it wouldn't alert him but close enough to land a hit. She ducked down to his level and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

The weasel instictively turned around only to be met with a furry blue fist solidly to his jaw. He toppled over before he even knew what happend. Tia knew this drill very well as she solidly planted her foot onto his shoulder blades forcing him into a face down position on the floor. He stopped moving, and the second he did Tia other hadn drew her katar and stabbed it into the carpet flooring, pinning his left arm where it was very skillfully.

"Now... what gives you the right to steal someone's else stuff?"

The weasel already sweating as he must have understood that Tia was not one to screw with.

[Tia]

"Wh..Wh...what... you want!?"

The weasel gave a pitful attempt at a tough guy voice. Tia knew this would not take long at all.

"I want you to take a hike... after you hand over everything you stole from here."

He seemed to understand what she met but Tia knew his type well enough. He might be visbily agreeing but he was plotting a way to at least escape with some of it without her knowing it.

"I...I found it... its.."

Tia applied a bit of pressure on her katar pinning his arm as the small cuts became large cuts as the blades cut into his flesh. The weasel was attempting to not ell out in pain but his expression of pain clearly gave away that it was hurting him.

"What were you going to say now?"

Tia felt her leg go up a pit in his pitful attempt to break free of her hold, but cause of his position and his other arm being pinned any attempt to move himself up and use his legs would only hasten the removal of the arm, combined with Tia's solid foot on her shoulder blades.

"I... I... give!"

Tia stopped applying presure on his back with her foot, however the second the guy attempt to move up. She swung herself around and sat on him, sending him back to the floor as she dragged over the bag the weasel had brought in the first place.. She placed her foot on the katar on his arm, so to hold it in place. The movement however made the weasel hand bleed even more.

"So what did you take?"

She openned the back up to see what stuff he had already taken. She was suprised to see that most of it was curuits and wiring. She had no clue what any of it was. She was sure though that Viper would know what it was and almost for sure all of it was his. She searched though his bag looking in general to see what he had put together.

"Its... just... junk... all of it. No one really needs it! Really!"

Tia pulled out a black box. She felt she had seen this box before somewhere but she did not recall just yet. She opened it up and to her suprised she found small gems, she had no idea if they were fakes or not but they did look like they might get money from it.

"Its still not your junk."

She closed the box and placed it back in the bag.

[Tia]

It was about an hour later, and one knocked out weasel later.

"I better get out of here."

She was pretty sure she could fight if needed but her own strength had not returned and her arm has felt weird ever since she blew her arm out saving them from that near death fall. She pulled up her bag and head into the downstairs of the ruined shop and then back out onto the street.

I wonder if Viper is feeling better at all.
