Gao and Yue: Ruthless Ruffian

"You said it was close right?" Gao asked Yue

"Should be down here."

The duo turned to face a dark alleyway, occasionally lit by neon lights, flashing on and off from different places.

"Well that's pretty foreboding," Gao muttered

"Come on. Let's move."

Walking down the alleyway, Gao heard creaks and mutterings from every which way. Someone called out to them, saying "Eyy, come on and buy these goods. I'm sure you'll enjoy it".

They quickly walked past. The further Gao walked in, the more two smells consumed him. An intense smell of smoke and an intense reek of alcohol consumed the area. Everywhere, Gao felt a stench of mud???, no not that, but…. something else. Blood? Food waste? Cigarette ash?

A man staggered out a door, obviously under the influence of beer or something of the like.

"W-what are young folk like you doing in a place like t-this." He said.

Yue fist tensed, and slammed into the man, knocking him out immediately.

"Pretty direct approach there,"

"Not going to waste mental energy on conversing with someone like that. The shop should just be right here."

The sign above the shop stated " The Consuming Lavishness"

Pushing the door, it swung open. The two phantoms (fighters in the tfl) strider down the stairs. They were met by a shop full of powders, labels, and liquids. At the end of the corridor, a tall, old man flipped a coin at the counter.

"What are you looking for kids? Sorry, you are mission acceptors aren't you."

Drugs to the left. Drugs to the right. Drugs above, heck, even drugs below. Gao felt impure and mentally sullied already.

Gao turned and whispered to Yue "You sure we wanna take this on?"

"We came all this way, no point ducking out because this place isn't exactly, on the rightest side of the law."

Gao nodded, trusting Yue's judgement.

Yue walked forward, approaching the table.

"Let's cut to the chase. Could you inform us on the more fine details on this case.?"

"Pretty simple Breaker rupture. Damn Dog Dashed around this place," The man said, flinging his cybernetic arm upwards in exasperation."sliced, diced and ate half my store room when I was out. Came again a second time, but this time, I put a tracker in the part of my store that the dog seemed to love eating. You have about 8 hours before the annoyance excretes it out. On the reward: The 500 pounds promised plus a decent amount of products from here.

Gao shivered. The mere thought of touching any of this man's products felt unrighteous Yue, however, put her hand on her chin and contemplated.

"Well, got to make use of that. I'd rather not have something illegal, so much adrenaline boosters and other stimulants are probably out of the picture. Chances are he might have some quack painkillers, but the key word there is quack. Combat, combat combat…..! Sedatives!"

"Dya have any high level sedatives back there?"

"YUE!" Gao hissed.

Yue put her finger to her lips, eyes glinting with opportunity.

"Course lil missy. Which form, tablet, powder or liquid."

"Liquid."

After disappearing into the back, the old man threw a bag and a cube out at Yue.

Catching the bag and the cube, Yue slung the bag onto her back and walked out.

Finally, after leaving the alleyway, Gao felt all the tenseness and fear lift off him. A cloud had risen.
