Kitten kept monitoring the tiger and the three cheetahs in the back of the van.  She also used blankets or something to cover the cheetahs, so Mr. J wouldn't see them even if he looked into the van.  A last thing she did before arriving at the rendez-vous point was checking her weapons.  She put regular bullets in her rifle and checked that her sword was correctly placed and easily accessible.  She also checked her pistol, but that was a secondary weapon.  Her shotgun had to wait, as it was in her truck.

Nameless: The Johnson seems at ease. No anxiety, no fear, just calm. You've only seen this kind of mood in the biz with people that are on drugs to keep their nerves down.

Rafa: You notice another man across the street on a roof with a rifle. He's wearing a paramedic uniform and seems to be watching the meet. He doesn't have as good of a view as you and doesn't seem to have noticed you.


The Johnson hands you seven credsticks and mutters under his breath, "There's 3k on each."

Just as you finish counting them, the van comes to a stop with the back facing the ambulances bay doors. Both the men in the ambulance get out, keeping their hands in the open, and come back to help load the tiger and strap it into place.

"Well seems to me you've done a great job at getting Tinks out of there. If you feel up to it, I got another job for you next month. It will be a bit more complicated but you know the location fairly well by now I'd bet," he whispers,he shifts his feet and gives you a smile before changing over to a booming shout as the ambulance revs to life, "but it seems we're wrapped up here so we better rush this poor man off to Renton First before his sorry ass kicks it."

"Good evening sand god speed."

After checking the validity of each credstick he disperses them around the group. "So that's 4k each overall, see yah around."

"Right.  See you if I see you," Pig says with a wave as he turns back toward his truck. "You all know how to reach me if something comes up, but I got to go see a man about a thing."

And with that he hops back into his truck and drives back toward Auburn, to his hole in the wall backhouse apartment.

Doc makes eye contact and nods to each one, gathering them around and makes a motion with his left hand.

Doc casts a Force 3 Sterilize, I'll buy the hits if you don't mind.

"Don't know what got on us, after all."
He nods and departs without looking back.

Rafa didn't let his virtual crosshairs leave the other sniper's body while whispering in his subvocal microphone.
Comms: "I know a guy who'll probably take the other cats off our hands. Not sure I can reach him with 'links though, reception ain't that good in our 'hood."

Pablo will love having these cats fight in his pits. Just their smell will be enough to drive his dogs crazy in their cages.

"The slab should wear off in a couple of hours," Critter said to the guys helping to offload the tiger, "she's healthy otherwise."

When the credchips were handed out, Critter turned to the group, including Rafa on the comm.
"What are we going to do with the Cheetahs before Rafa finds someone to sell them to," she asked, "who's going to keep them that time?"

"Why not just leave 'em in the back of the truck? Cats ain't that good with door handles... I think."

Comm: "Just making sure that sniper's really gone. Pretty good view, could shoot people in 3 different Stuffer Shacks from up here."
A few moments later he left the roof and drove towards his colleagues while trying to reach Pablo on his comm.

Pablo gets back to you after a few minutes telling you, Meet me at the Cage House and we'll discuss trade

Rafa arrived on his bike, halted with screeching tires and accepted his part of the payment.
"Pablo's willing to talk about trading. Ain't no need for all of us going there, in fact if you don't know how to behave on that kind of turf it's probably best you don't. But we'll probably need to bring the cats along. I'll lead the way on my bike, just follow me."

"Unless you're willing to let me drive the truck.", he didn't sound like he was expecting that to happen.

I'm assuming that anyone wanting to come to meet Pablo has.
The vehicles come to a slow crunching stop on the graveled lot. A large warehouse stands beside five rows of storage units. Moments after your vehicles shut off, an old rusted van pulls up beside you and Pablo steps out, immediately joined by two of his soldiers.

"So, where're the cats at? I'll look them over and see what I have to trade in that range."
After a quick glance at the sleeping cheetahs.
"Alright, I can give you a thousand in trade for each of the good ones and five hundred for the busted up one. Normally I'd give you a lot more, but it was just on the scanner, trouble at the zoo. I'm guessin' I'm lookin' at the trouble right now. That means I got to keep 'em low and fed for a while before I can make my money back on them."

"Hah! The reception here's crap and the few that catch the news will pay to watch the talk of the day in action! Free publicity, hombre! And that third ain't busted up, not bad anyways. Just a nosebleed."

"They a more agressive subspecies, you know," Critter said when she came out of her truck, standing next to the door.  She had her hat on, of course, and her sword on her back and pistol on her thigh.  The shotgun was in the clamps build in the door.  She also did a quick assensing of Pablo and activated her agility boost, just in case.
"I've seen guys like that fight before," she continued, "back in Africa when we disturbed a female with cubs.  Luckily the point man had a helmet on so we could still identify him.  And besides, the time you have to keep them out of sight should be more then enough time for the third one to recover.  I can get you a list of what is needed to bring him back to full health.  Why don't we say 5000 for all three?"

Her price was high, she knew, but she was sure they could meet somewhere in the middle.
