Pausing anytime a passerby gets within in earshot, "If we run the border, we're definitely gonna want guns for if we run into border security. An' if we use a smuggler, I'm still wantin' a weapon, prob'ly more so. That still don't answer how we're gonna get our hands on any of it. We ain't exactly flush with cash, that bit we got won't even pay for a rusted out b.b. gun."

[Crossbow]

John smiled at that, "Yep you're from Cal Free, you might be able to just drop by a collector of military hardware down where you come from.  Around here if you just stop by a guy's place that has the stuff you want you are likely to get a good look at the business end.  I will make a few calls and try to set something up, how long are you in town?  Oh we probably have most of that other stuff at the mall, or at worst the Stuffer Stop out on 90."

Fionn stopped Clem before she gave away that they were looking for might well be the local criminal haunt.  "How's about you just let me look it up here...  Really need to get you lot some burner links."  Fionn pulled up a city map and looked through it to find the Pow-Wow.  "Wouldn't be bad to get ahold of some storage myself..."  He started looking for locations to buy disposable commlinks while he was at it.

"There's always the barter system, Con" answers Clementine. "In any case, we should go see this Eddie and see what he has to propose."

Turning to Fionn, Clementine says "How long do you think it would take us to get those dummy links? We could do that before meeting with Eddie if it doesn't take too much time."

[RHat]

"Unless we're talking about the most secure vending machine ever, it's a matter of minutes."

[HydroRaven]

"Alright then, let's do that first. Tell me where to go."

Clem heads for the Jeep and waits for everyone to get in before setting off to the location Fionn has told her.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor looked at Clem quizzically as he followed her to the Jeep, "Why in the hell would anyone agree to bartering? Not that we have anything for trade in the first place."

[RHat]

"We can barter our services."  Fionn started giving Clem directions.

John smiled at that, "Yep you're from Cal Free, you might be able to just drop by a collector of military hardware down where you come from.  Around here if you just stop by a guy's place that has the stuff you want you are likely to get a good look at the business end.  I will make a few calls and try to set something up, how long are you in town?  Oh we probably have most of that other stuff at the mall, or at worst the Stuffer Stop out on 90."

Sam laughed at John's joke about seeing the "business end" of a gun collection. "Whew, I knew life was different out here in the country, but I didn't think it was so bad that someone would greet the sheriff and a guest with a shotgun! I thought that was only in the trids we make about how things were in the old days. But if you really think you'd be better off calling first, go ahead. The head producer should be ok with our spending a day or two checking the town out, though he does sometimes change his mind on pretty damn short notice, so the sooner the better, you know?"

Johnny has tried to stay quite on the trip maintaining a friendly smile. He mostly paid attention to their surroundings looking for anything, anyone, or anyplace they might find useful later and trying to remember where they where. "None of this works though Sam. Sheriff we need a place for a fight scene. I can't say to much about the plot but..." Johnny paused for a second thinking "We need some place that our main character can get beat up and then stumble onto... I think they are called coyotes?"

"If he wants to be part of the movie he will barter" answered Clementine to O'Connor. "Don't forget he came to us, which must mean he wants something."

As soon as everyone was in the Jeep, she set off, following Fionn's instructions.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor shrugged, "Whatever, but if we're gonna screw over the local criminals, we should tie up loose ends before leaving town. Locals may be small fries, but never doubt the size of the grudges they can hold. I don't like the idea of makin' enemies and then lettin' 'em live for too long after."

[RHat]

"Making a promise we have no intention of keeping seems...  Unwise.  And trying to kill your way out of it would only make the problem worse." 

[Necrogigas]

"Depends on how well connected they are, and to who. In this lil' podunk, I doubt it'll be too big an issue. A few criminals get put down, and their rivals move into to fill the void. I doubt anyone's gonna cry over street trash all that long. Though we should cover our bases, think you can get into the local cops database, Red?"

[RHat]

"Never can be sure how connected someone is, though...  As for that database, I can probably do it, but I'd rather take my time with it; mitigates the risk a bit.  What are you thinking?"
