Finally Dakota and Jasper enter the house of Dubious. Dubious, is a fit man who had spent a decade or three to long living on the outskirts of the fallen city. The atmosphere, radiation and inhabitants had taken there toll on his appearance but he was far better company than his appearance would indicate, well at least and surprisingly for Dakota and Jasper it seemed, despite the number of armed droids scattered here and there. Dubious lead the pair into the heart of his abode, "You know why we are here?" Jasper asked. "Yeah, Ridley let me know you were coming. You want to get inside Nordorica Metropolis and kidnap Charlie Voss.....Brave or stupid only time will tell." Dubious chuckled, his voice, dry, strained. Dakota spoke up, "and weapons, you were to give us weapons so we could deal with any issues inside." "You will have your weapons and more. Two floors downs you will find everything you need. Weapons, outfits and most importantly beds." Dubious stated as if reading a line from a script. "Beds.....were not here to sleep!" Dakota said with a tone of frustration. Frustration she always developed when away from action for to long. Dubious scoffed, "You can gear up and leave now if you wish but night is coming and your two don't want to be out there then, trust me." At that moment an unholy, distant howl echoed through the air, "Yeah you definitely don't want to be going outside now.....Drink?" The three of them moved to more comfortable surrounds inside Dubious home. Dubious, unaccustomed to many visitors had plenty of stories to tell of his adventures in life and tell them he did. They laughed, shared stories, drank to much and by the end of the night, Jasper and Dakota knew they had to go towards the center of the fallen city and on their way they would find Alice, their contact, the one with the knowledge to get them inside the Elites city. --------- Hi all and hope your having a great weekend :) Been a bit slow today...no not age...lol... but another heatwave here again, (Yay!!!
