Part 3: The City of Crime

[Dexie Oblivion]

Darx takes seat outside, closes his eyes in silent meditation, his sword lying close by, his wings folded, awaiting the group's return.

[Olvelsper]

"Sir, I've heard that the Wright family offers the highest quality in side arms, and can't afford to take anything but the best with us into the desert for protection as we journey to Vault City." Jan lowered his head in respect to the head of the clan, as he started furiously working his brain for this meeting.

[Dracos]

"Vault City?"  The old man rose.  "Your name is Jan Smith?  What of your two companions?"  

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"I mostly go by Leets, Mister Wright," he answered politely.

[Olvelsper]

"And the professor here is Clyde Hornsby."

[Dracos]

The man nodded walking with slow strides around his desk.  He wasn't that tall, maybe a couple of inches over five feet.  "And for what do you go to Vault City?" He asked, briefly curious.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"We were hired to get replacement parts for New Brunswick's water filters."

[Dracos]

"Mmm."  The man brushed his short beard.  "Well, you certainly came to the right place.  Though such things are not without...cost."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"I figured as much, sir." Jan easily nodded in response as he waited for a spot to jump in.

[Dracos]

"You would.  You look like a smart young lad." The older gentleman paused a moment.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Beggin' your pardon, Sir, but I'm kind of curious. For a person of your kind of status, you certainly don't look like you'd fit in this city," Leets commented.

"Not to be rude, of course," he added hastily.

[Dracos]

"And why do you think that, Leets?" The man turned, his eyes burrowing into him.  "The family has always been here."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan blinked. "So your family has been around since when people first started arriving in the wasteland?"

[Shukuen]

"You just seem... nicer then some of the people we've seen so far is all."

[Dracos]

He eyed the two of them.  "You seem pretty interested in the family for a man who wants to acquire some fire power.  The wright family has been here for seventy years.  Since my great grandfather Bernard came to New Reno."
