There are some days that are so big they change everything.
For Victor it was getting captured.
For me it was meeting Wraith escaping capture and starting a new life.
. . . and then there was last night. The cliff notes, I was attacked by Shade the leader of the gang The Shadows. He and his right hand, a woman named Lock came after me.
Things started normally enough, I was hiring Merrick to handle some of my dangerous deliveries. I had a shoulder wound thanks to Wraith. I was on the upswing but not quite back to normal.
We had gotten a message that a shipment of gemstones needed to go out that night. When my contact made the drop off he signaled to me that we were followed. Shortly after that I had gotten an Email from Alyss telling me she had a vision of RPS on fire and me wounded on the ground. Find somewhere safe.
I didn't have much choice, I knew I was being followed. I could've walked into a pub or shop, but instead I went to RPS. Honestly I figured if I went somewhere else I would just end up getting other people dusted.
Well when I get in this shadowy figure glides or teleports in and starts attacking me with a knife. Wraith tried to dust him but she was frozen in mid attack, I would later find out that was Lock. Her power is stasis.
There was a fight, a nasty one. I did wound Shade and that is when I got reckless. A few things happened in the blink of an eye. Lock freaked out, loosing concentration on Wraith. . . Wraith killed her in the blink of an eye. I tossed a grenade on top of an explosives crate, you might think that is overkill, but if so you don't remember fighting Shade. It was like trying to fight Wraith.
There was a huge explosion and I got banged up pretty badly. I woke up in Anna's clinic, she gave me a warm breakfast and the news that my kneecap is shattered. I think that this is still sinking in.
