"Hey, hey, we aren't the guys you should go after!" The first say said, trying to defend his buddy from getting hit in the face with a knife. The other man, unfortunately, didn't have a voice at this point so he couldn't really say anything. "Look, I can tell you what I know, but then you gotta let us go, alright?" The man said, wanting his life and his buddy's life to be spared.

Zei stared the man in the eyes for a while longer before suddenly letting go, he quickly put his knife back where it belonged and took his spear back from where he had left it. "Speak....up" He said with as much menace as he could possibly muster up in his voice.

He took a stance that was supposed to tell the men that if they tried anything he might change his mind about letting them go afterwards. He gave Mark a nod when the men wasn't looking as if to tell him 'good work' with playing along.

He one again took a look around them, the weather was getting noticeably darker, they would have to finish this quickly if they didn't want to have to search these streets in the dark.

Mark had had nothing to say merely awaiting the two to say something useful, instead he waited his hand reaching the back of his head scratching it moving his crimson hair beneath his hat to some degree. He smiled a little when Zei nodded to him as if to say no problem they were partners after all.

"Yes.......you can leave once you give us information" Mark added as he noticed the slight change in in natural lighting in the area looking up for a moment before looking back at the two . *Dam if we don't hurry this could be a problem* he thought to himself remaining calm.

"All I know is that Boss's warehouse is on the outskirts of town, in the back of a butchery," The man said, glancing between the two men as his partner stepped back, so that way his partner was closer to them than he was. They both just had the look of wanting to get out of there alive. There wasn't anything to gain from staying with their Boss, they just wanted to stay alive. And if they would show loyalty to their boss they would end up in jail due to these two genlemen in front of him. "So, can we go now?" He asked, glancing at Zei now.

He eyed them en up one last time before finally relaxing his stance "You...can leave" he doubted that they were lying, men who believed that their last moment would show itself on a lie usually didn't.

he gestured to Mark signalling that he wanted him to follow before turning around and starting to walk down the street wit his spear leisurely leaned on the shoulder. the outskirts they had said, he was sure that there wouldn't be more than a few butcher shops, hopefully they wouldn't prove too difficult to find.

However just as he was about to turn around a corner he spotted a strange carriage going down the street. He usually wouldn't have paid such a thing much notice but there was something off about this particular carriage. He decided to follow it and hope for the best.

Mark simply smiled and moved out of the way to allow the two past that wasn't anything rlse left they could have told them, he walked behind Zei his arms by his sides as he relaxed his guard for a moment. The two were heading for the outskirts of town. As they turned the corner Mark noticed Zei found interest in a carriage that was being pulled down the street, it looked suspicious but they needed to deal with their bounty first.

Mark quickly caught up with Zei placing his hand on his shoulder which in turn revealed multiple scars along his arm "I'm going to go streight to the outskirts to see what I can find" he said calmly knowing Zei wasn't the talking type he started to walk away waving his hand as he proceeded to the outskirts on a more direct route. He stretched before resting his left hand on his swords he doubted when he got to the outskirts he would be allowed just to walk into the buchery that held the warehouse.

He silently nodded after listening to what Mark had to say, splitting up would make the search faster. And so Mark continued toward the outskirts while Zei himself started to follow the suspicious carriage. He was not quite sure why he found it so suspicious but nevertheless he continued the pursuit.

Although it couldnt really be called a 'pursuit' because the thing went at a snails pace, making it really easy to follow. The Carriage was being pulled by an ox and driven by a man with a scarf around his head. Both seemed oblivious to the rest of the world.

After following it for a while Zei realized why he'd chosen just that specific Carriage, he had never before seen a carriage using barrels of that specific size, they were to small to contain vegetables or some other food and way to large for spices or other similarly exotic things.

Suddenly some of the cloth covering a major part of the barrels got caught by a gust of the unusually strong wind, revealing a brightly painted red skull with crossed bones underneath. This if anything made Zei sure that the Carriage was not carrying legal things. he had recognised the sign, it was commonly painted on things containing either highly toxic or highly explosive substances. The sign wasn't visible for long before being hidden by the cloth again.

Zei judged that they were almost at the outskirts by now, hopefully Mark would have already reached it and begun the search for that butcher shop.

Mark split up from Zei slowly walking towarsd the outskirts each step kicking up a little dust int the light breeze. He was lost in thought *Surely there can't be many butcher's in the outskirts* he could only hope he was lucky. He could tell he was getting closer to the outskirts as the distinct smell of the sea drifted along the gentle wind.

Mark could hear the sound of a crowd, the outskirts were busy people mingling with each other. It seemed it was a day where pirates arrive with stolen loot besides treasure to sell to the population it seemed like a market, but after seeing a little of what was on the makeshift stalls it seemed more like a black market. But he wasn't here for these pirates he had to stay focused on the task at hand, he had to look for the butchers.

Staying out of the way of the stalls it wasn't long before he came across a small butchers. Entering a small bell on the top of the door rang shortly followed by a rough voice "Welcome what can I do for you stranger" Mark stopped for a moment "Errm right.......its ok i'll just look around" he spoke as the shop owner nodded before chopping up a large piece of meat, Marks eyes slowly glanced around the room looking for anything that looked out of place. His eyes focused on a door to the side "May I have a look inside" he asked expecting to get refused entry as he pointed to the door "Ah you want fresh meat I see......go ahead" Nodding Mark opened the door.

It was a plain old refridgerator with large slabs of meat hanging from the ceiling on hooks, letting out a sigh he closed the door and proceeded to the exit "Thanks" he waved with one hand as he exited the bell ringing as he stepped back onto the dirt. Pondering Mark decided it was best to check the area's closer to the harbor and started to walk in that direction, he looked out into the distance the sun had almost set they had a few hours at most before dark.

The carriage eventually arrived right outside of a old warehouse, still keeping his distance Zei observed what was going on. Apparently not much by the looks of things, the driver simply got off and leaned against the side of the carriage. He was probably waiting for someone to take the cargo out of his hands.

Zeis suspicions were soon confirmed when a shady looking man walked up to the driver and exchanged a few words with him. Zei couldn't hear what they said due to being to far away. The conversation didn't last long, the shady man gave the driver what looked to be a small wallet. After that the driver quickly un-docked the ox that had been pulling the carriage before leaving with it.

The shady man took a quick look at the cargo before starting to quickly move away from the place, Zei judged that he was going to report to whoever had sent him there. Quickly moving out Zei began to tail the guy, losing sight of him was out of question.

Mark scratched his head in frustration "where the hell is he" he spoke not talking to anyone in particular he did however get a few looks from the people in the surrounding area. He let out a sigh trying not to draw more attention to himself, proceeding down the street he looked at shop windows. He had found 3 butcher shops and all of them were a false lead, two of the owners weren't exactly happy with him looking around their shops.

Putting the thought to the back of his head he continued to stroll at a casual pace, some of the shops seemed to be closing up at the sign of nightfall. It was at that point something caught his eye, it was two men standing side by side close to a butchers. They didn't look like they worked there they seemed to be dressed more like thugs if anything.

Mark was careful to remain out of sight if this was indeed the shop he was looking for it wouldn't be the best idea to go in swords drawn as it wasn't really his style. If he could get the target alone without his henchmen within shouting distance it would make things alot easier, so he waited outside in an alley across from the shop waiting to see if anything suspicious happen. This is to confirm his own assumptions.

Following the man turned out to just as easy as it had been following the carriage, these guys didn't exactly seem to be all that careful about who saw what they did. Zei found that quite intriguing, it meant that they ether had no fear of being found out or had someone powerful backing them up. Or at least threatening enough to make sure people didn't talk.

It didn't take long for the man to arrive at a butchers shop guarded by an additional two thugs. Upon looking for a suitable place to observe the place Zei spotted Mark, apparently the other man had also found his way to this very shop. It was probably no coincidence, they had found their way there by separate means so if this wasn't the place then Zei would be very surprised.

He walked up to Mark and said "So you...also found...it" before taking up position beside Mark. They would need to observe the place for a bit before taking action, rushing in blindly would only result in unnecessary fighting with thugs, the best solution would be locating the bounty and capturing him before his goons could show up. Of course they would need to get to the bounty office or a marine outpost afterwards but their main task was finding the bounty and all else was currently secondary.

A while after they had started to observe the place the shady man he had followed came out again, this time accompanied by around ten other goons, obviously they were going to go to the place that held the cargo.

Mark stood and waited he let out a yawn nothing seemed to be happening he was about to question if this was the right place or not it was then Zei showed up, it surely wasn't a coincidence. "Nice to see your ok" he said with a nod his eye's still fixated on the shop front.

The two waited for a while but it wasn't a long wait before a Shady man exited his features matching the bounty poster, it was at this point Mark thought this is going to be easy. That thought soon disappeared as 10 thugs exited as well, Mark considered himself an idiot for seeing the current situation as easy he didn't show any emotion to suggest it though.

The group accompanying the target began to move along side him Mark waited along side Zei until he was sure they were a safe enough distance away so that they could follow without any problems, cautiously Mark followed "This could be a problem....we need a plan of action" he whispered to Zei

When the shady man and the rest of the thugs got closer Zei suddenly recognised the guy, it was no one but the bounty! why he had gone to inspect the cargo on his own was a mystery, perhaps he was not the top dog or he just liked to take strolls. Either way it made things easier for the two of them.

When Mark began to follow them Zei simply tagged along, he nodded in agreement on needing a plan. Taking on all those thugs in addition to the bounty was not a wise course of action. After thinking for a couple of minutes Zei came up with a plan, one of them had to distract the thugs while the other took care of capturing the bounty. the desision was not easy but he eventually came to the conclusion that Mark would be best suited for the distraction. It was dangerous but he wouldn't actually engage the thugs "You will...distract...the thugs" he began "While I...capture...the bounty"

Hopefully Mark would be smart enough to not fight the thugs, he would only need to keep them occupied long enough for Zei to knock out the bounty and haul him off.

Mark stopped and nodded in approval to Zei's plan "Good luck" he said in his casual happy voice, he checked that his weapons remained at his side walking out inti view making it easier to spot him before he started to jog to catch up a little. Stopping he began to breath a little heavier his mouth letting out cold air as the night started to grow colder.

"Hay idiots" he shouted at the group his swords still sheathed as he taunted them the group stopped and turned to face him at this point it was confirmed that the shady character was infact the bounty. "You wouldn't mind coming along quietly would you beating you all up would be a pain in the arse" the group laughed at what Mark had said before their head turned "Kill the kid" he waved his hand asn the group started to walk towards Mark.

"Kill me huh" Mark picked up a rock on the ground and launched it at the men it hitting one on the nose i caused bleeding but nothing else. "You little runt we'll skin you alive" "interesting offer............catch me if you can" Mark taunted before taking off the group rushed after him shouting various insults in his direction.

Zei stood back and watched as Mark drew the attention of the thugs, he smiled slightly when he saw how mark threw a rock right in the face of one of them That ought to grab their attention he thought. Indeed it did, perhaps to well seeing as all of the thugs set off at full speed toward mark. Zei doubted that they would think of much else considering some of the things they were shouting.

Luckily the bounty continued on his own, it was truly strange how he could just go on without any guards but Zei didn't complain, it would make his own task so much easier. He waited until the shouts coming from the chase went a bit further away before moving in on the bounty.

He quickly intercepted the path of Joe, stepping out in front of him with his hood down while slowly drawing his spear. It did not take long for a "Who da hell are you?" to come from Joes mouth. Smiling a bit Zei replied "Your worst..nightmare" not exactly the most original line in the blues but it did the job.

With one swift motion Zei pulled down his hood, showing off his sharply glowing eyes. The darkening sky enhanced the impression tenfold, making his eyes look like they were on fire. However Joe didn't seem to get awfully impressed. He just calmly stated "So you are one of da bounty hunters then"

this was not the reaction Zei had anticipated, he had thought that without the thugs Joe would not be able to do much on his own. This attitude said that he was more than able to take care of himself, either that or he was more than a little overconfident.

Nevertheless Zei took a combat stance with his spear preparing himself for the coming fight.
