"Supreme, I need you to find video and photographic evidence, after that's done, meet me at Sharles diner and we will end this for good." Ted understood and dragged Mayne back to the car but before that, Zeke wanted to talk to Ted "What you're about to do is a suicide, yes Bonez is a reliable man but he is also dangerous, despite his good nature, and it's that dangerous nature that he tests mercenaries like you to see if you can be considered an ally. There's a reason he gave you this warning and that's why, I am giving you this second warning, walk away and I will pay you, double the amount that he is paying." Ted refused the offer commenting "This man is testing me then so be it. He may have that dangerous nature in him but it's that integrity nature that has sold me and that's why I won't fail him." Zeke smiled and replied "Wise words, good luck." Ted shook Zeke's hand and entered Mayne's car, Zeke and Hound watched as Ted and Mayne left WurstMuck, "do you think they'll survive?" Zeke looked at Hound and responded "I doubt that... But then again there is the possibility. Come on, we've got problems of our own to deal with."
Zeke and Hound walked the streets of WurstMuck market and they greeted the sellers on their way to the security room. "Alright, let's see what we have here." Zeke was looking through the security and looked at the footage showing a shady dealer selling a yellow energy-like cube to an unknown buyer, Zeke tried to identify the customer but found no records "If I may, what's special about this person that concerns you?" Zeke answered "there's that problem, I don't know why I'm focused on this! I shouldn't but... I am... And it can't be helped that I'm suffering from false memories... Hound, you should get back to your aunt, it's hard enough that your cousin has to take the day off to look after her but what about you?" Hound retaliated saying "But I need to get the money in for my aunt's medicine." Zeke handed Hound some money "Use this for the medicine and take a break already." Hound tried to reason with Zeke but he wouldn't budge "I know you enjoy your job but your aunt needs you now, please." Right as Hounf was about to leave the security room, Bonez entered inside "Zeke, please stop being this stubborn! You're not sending Hound away just because of his aunt... You're sending him away because you're worried he'll get killed."
Zeke sighed and said, "Just leave me alone Bonez." But he refused, commenting on how "Your brother got himself killed..." Zeke jumped from his chair and shouted "Don't you ever talk about my brother!" Zeke stormed off while Hound went after him "Zeke!" Hound shouted, "GO Away!" Zeke walked faster to get away from Hound "Please, just listen to me!" Hound ran after Zeke as best as he could but he lost him "Fuck!" Hound shouted as he punched the concrete, he calmed down and went to look for Zeke. Unbeknownst to him, Zeke was using a camouflage cyber ware and as Hound was gone, he deactivated it. He looked at the amulet he wore over his shirt and was having memories of how he ended up in WurstMuck. (More on that in a later volume)
Returning to Mayne and Ted, they found Bonez's target and were almost spotted, thankfully they had retrieved enough info that they ran Bonez. "Good job you two, listen, I've got some important issues to deal with so do you guys mind if I send Hound?" Ted and Mayne didn't seem to mind and Bone hung the call. "I wonder what's the issue..." Ted responded, "I don't know but I have a feeling that it's not going to be nice... come on, we should meet up with Hound." Mayne and Ted went to the location where they found Hound who was blending in with the environment "I'm honestly surprised that I was chosen for this mission, unlike Zeke or my brother." Ted commented on why Zeke didn't come then "I don't know but what I can tell you is that I'm worried about him. Bonez said something about Zeke's brother and then, he snapped." Mayne was surprised by this as Zeke was always a chill kind of guy. "It's the first time for me too, I only met Zeke when he joined the WurstMuck family."
"Not that I want to be rude but we've got trouble! Ted pointed at a swarm of tarantula-based dogs. They swerved across the rubbish before leaping to take a bite at Ted and the others. "What the fuck..."
