>>>>>[My humble apologies for the meeting. All I can say is, it looked
like I was one of the people those guys wanted dead, so you can at least
assume I didn't knowingly set you up.

As near as I can figure out, the guy who joined us and gave us the cred
was a ringer. Ploughshare always dealt with me through intermediaries,
and I'd guess that this middleman must have had some sort of locked
spell and it blew up. I've seen that happen before.

That was what nailed us right at the start. Might have been worse, do we
have Claw to thank for our survival? Their mistake was that it also blew
most of us onto the floor, either that or the shooters outside were a
fraction late firing. Also, the glass was tougher than they thought.
Sloppy planning, we should have hit the floor dead.

Imp, I know it looked crazy going through the shooters instead of out
the back, but if it had been my hit the back door would have been my
main killing zone. I still don't know that it wasn't. But I thought I'd
let you know I'd heard what you said... <g>

Besides, it startled the hell out of them, and let me kill them both.
Thanks for the cover fire, you and/or Shadow hurt one of them pretty
badly.

Oh, you're wondering how come I think Redemption and I were the targets?
Because the two psychos who shot up the restaurant, killing two innocent
(and unnamed) diners, match my and his description, according to the
news. Someone in high places has decided they don't like me. Well, I've
decided I don't like them either.

Redemption's not too bad, he took some rounds but his armour stopped the
worst of it. I got cut some going through the glass, but it's going to
be okay. He, Glaive and I are playing the gone game for now. I suggest
all of you do likewise. And if any of you find a lead to Ploughshare,
leave me a few pieces of the bastard.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Ploughshare
>>>>>[Ploughshare, you made a big mistake. You should have checked my
records. I'm sure if you can mess with the police so thoroughly, you can
access all kinds of data. See what happened to the last guys who screwed
me. The same will happen to you.

You are a dead man, Ploughshare, and the only detail yet to be decided
is the time and place when reality ends the illusion of your continued
existence.]<<<<<
