Chapter 2 - A Talk

as the floor got closer it suddenly stoped getting closer and then i felt my hands getting bound "What could your group need with Me" a blonde haired one that spoke softly then said "Lets start with introductions, im Sophie, that is Carter" she pointed a big guy, he seemed to be likely the strongest of the group "the red haired one is Maya" short tempered, seemed likely a tech specialist, i say that not due to her short temper but because she was taking apart my clock "The one wearing a black clock is Reed" likely was a recon dude or something, "And she is Lena" she was likely trained in shooting since she understood the importance of maintaining a gun, she was pollishing her snipers barel, Sophie then pointed at one last person "and this is Elijah" he was covered in tons of grease and grime could be a mechanic for the group, "So what do you need with Legendary Outlaw Colt Jackobs" Elijah chuckled " we need your assistance in a heist" they knew exactly what i was good for and for how long, question is would they pin the blame on me "And it seems you got a solid enough team already, so why choose me" he kneeled down "We needed you to get the Mayors daughter, and word is that you and her well, yall were close" i spit towards him " I aint helping you hurt Mia" the restraint were digging into my wrists as a pulled against them.

 I saw bright white lights and i was strapped down to a chair screaming but no one cared, that wasnt my memorie i dont think "So tough guy, what will you do if we use you as bait" if my body wasnt overheating from this headache i would have retorted with something funny but he had a point, Mia still saw me as a friend she would certainly come to help me "why do you need her" Elijah looked over to sophie "well we need money and who would have more then the Mayor" i sighed and thanked god that it wasnt revenge "why dont i just help you rob a bank or something, where would there be more money then a bank" Lena shook her head "too many guards" i sighed " do you think the mayor skimps on his daughters safety, she has some of the strongest Neogens the wasteland has ever seen as her guards" Elijah sighed "and from what i could gather you seem to be related to Neo in some way, you two looked the exact same, so my guess is that you are likely just as strong as him if not maybe a little weaker" 

Hahahahah

"Yea nice joke buddy, if i was even a fraction of his strength you think your team would have gotten me" they shrugged "Well we need the money withing the month" i raised my eyebrow "why, what for" Maya looked upset "Nothing, you need to worry about" probably her parent or something "ill help you find a diffrent method to obtain the money needed" Elijah smiled "good because i dont want to kidnap anyone" i sighed in relief "can you unbind my hands".

 Seconds later my hand were unbound "Thanks" Elijah nodded "Your welcome, and man your such a big inspiration for me, like you heist on the Jadeveiw bank, that was genius man" interesting they knew about me, i guess they really needed this money so they did their research that or they got a broker "Yea, well that was when i had my revolvers" Maya raised an eyebrow "Dont tell me the Bandit Outlaw Colt, grew a consisunuss" i hated when people talked in a condescending tone "No i left them at Mia's place" Elijah then spoke "then strol on by and get them" i shook my head "We broke up" Sophie then said, as if it was the most obvious thing "Why not ask for them back" i shook my head "Ill need a heist, i can do it on my own though" Elijah shook his head " I want to see your skills in action" i sighed "well does tomorrow work, also were yall following me" Lena nodded "Neogen Ability" i nodded "And what class are you in" there were 4 classes of abilities technicaly 5, i was part of group 5 the Soverign class catogorized as having more then 1 ability, she raised 2 fingers "I see Arcane abilities if i remember correctly" she nodded "Any You" i shrugged "i belive i would be in tier 5" Elijah clapped me on my back "Just what i expected, what two do you combine" I iteched i side of my head "All" this got everyone Attention.

 Everyone was looking at me wide eyed, as if what i said was impossible "I guess you really are Related to Neo" i heard a whisper someone saying 'Luke' "i need to get some air" as i walked down the stairs my visstion dubled and my foot slipped.

Bang
