Phantom attacker

Frank rubbed a hand down his face and sighed. He smiled at me and patted my hand with a shaky hand. I grabbed his hand and I looked at him.

"I mean it. I'm not going to risk myself or health recklessly." I said.

Frank snorted and he nodded. I let go of his hand resting my back against the wall behind me. "So what's been going on here? Any trouble?" I asked.

"No. No trouble at all. It's been pretty boring thankfully. What happened with you in the city?" Frank asked and then glanced back at Fire Erica as they came into the room and sat on my left and right side.

"It's a simple enough job. I was told fetch a bag. I got caught up in a bit of a battle with a enemy that was a lot more clever and ready for me. I shouldn't have faced him. Better plan was to walk away." I said going over my thoughts about that encounter in the alley way.

"Why didn't you just walk away?" Frank asked.
