Snake was dissatisfied with the situation. Twice he had been so close to catch Phoenix -- and the five million -- and twice he had failed. If this crazy feral hadn't been around the last time ...

But there was no use brooding over past failures when he could go out and try again. The only thing that was missing was a trace of Phoenix, or a plan on how to capture him. But ideas always came easiest to him when he was on the move, so that's what he did tonight -- he roamed the streets, thinking, randomly looking for tonight's dinner or something else to busy himself with.

A mortal, a man with a stocky build and a head full of dark curls, walked past Snake, nearly pushing him over. He was alone, most likely an easy meal.

Snake was about to yell angrily after that rude stranger, but then decided that this was just the opportunity he had been looking for.

So he followed very silently instead and in a short distance, waiting until they'd reach an appropriate and less busy location.

"If you was smart, you'd stop following me." The man said, turning around once they were in a less busy location. "You need money or something?"

Giovan was sure the man was prepared to rob him, or a beggar.

The moment the man turned around, Snake stopped. For a human, that was impressive, usually they didn't notice that he was following them. But that just made things more interesting tonight.

"Actually, I do. But not from you. From you, I want something else." He grinned an unpleasant grin and came closer.

A large part of Giovan's job as an agent was awareness, so he noticed things that a lot of humans would ignore.

The human got his gun out of his pocket and aimed it at the stranger. "Stay back there and tell me what the hell it is. Chances are, I got a lead on something better."

"Just a little distraction. Fun. A bit of a fight, maybe? I see you're prepared, why's that?"

That the gun was pointed at him didn't seem to impress him at all.

"You want a fight? I know someone who will put up a lot better fight than me. Plenty distracting too, and they've got money and stuff you can steal? I've got twenty bucks and a pack of smokes on me. That's hardly worth it, isn't it?"

Giovan noted that the man didn't seem impressed by his weapon, but still stood his ground. "Pays to be prepared when you piss a few people off."

From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"I told you I don't want your money. I'm out for more than a few bucks. That someone you mentioned, though. Sounds interesting. Who's it?"

Despite Snake's words, he didn't seem too interested in that dubious other person, and much less intent on letting this one go. He made a step forward.

"Male or female?" he asked. "There's a broad and a guy, both will put up a nice fight."

Giovan lowered his weapon, realizing the strange guy wasn't going to back off. "Cigarette?"

Date: 2010-05-19 11:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"I don't care. Both."

Involuntarily, Snake was once again impressed by the other man's reaction. In his experience, other people would have shot or run.
There was obviously more to the guy than met the eye. Interesting.

The offer, however, was declined. "No. That's disgusting."

Giovan shrugged, then got out his cigarettes .

"She's easier to get to. Her names Janie Taylor. Puts up a really good fight. His name is a little odd and he's harder to findbut mention the girl and he comes running. Phoenix Kaelen."

With that, he tapped out a cigarette and returned the pack to his pocket.

From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
He listened, halfway interested, since the girl's name didn't sound familiar to him. At the mention of Phoenix however, the stranger had Snake's full attention.

"Really? Phoenix Kaelen? That's the guy you pissed off?"

He shook his head unbelievingly. "Now that's what I call coincidence."

Date: 2010-05-20 04:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"You heard of him? Yeah, I pissed him off. What's the coincidence?"

Giovan wasn't sure if Snake worked for him, or was someone else who didn't like Phoenix.

Date: 2010-05-20 05:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Well. Let's say he pissed me off, too. Only recently." He didn't see any necessity to mention the reasons -- or the bounty on Phoenix' head.

"So you're saying you know where he's to be found?"

Date: 2010-05-20 07:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"Something like that" Giovan said. "You know what you're dealing with, don't you?"

Date: 2010-05-20 08:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"I do. The bastard does know how to fight, to give him his due. What's your problem with him?"

He'd be surprised if this were another bounty hunter, but you never know.

From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"We don't see eye to eye on a few things, and he decided it was time for an unfair fight"

Date: 2010-05-22 08:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Yeah, sounds like him. Never stays in one place. Well, I'm all for making that fight a bit fairer ..."

Date: 2010-05-22 08:23 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"You got anything that can hurt him? My single beam blaster is enough to annoy the guy but he teleports so damn quickly I can't keep up."

Date: 2010-05-22 08:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Even better. I have something that can hurt and scare him." Snake grins. He always carries the remaining implant with him, in case he should find Phoenix.

Date: 2010-05-22 10:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"What do you have?" he asked, curious

Date: 2010-05-22 10:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"A little bit of tech. It can stop him from teleporting. Oh, and it might hurt a bit, too."

Date: 2010-05-22 11:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
Giovan smiled. "He needs both of those things. I want tomake things as bad as possible for him."

Date: 2010-05-23 05:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"That can be done. I've seen one of these things in action, it's quite funny."
Snake smiled right back, thinking.
"What's with that girl you mentioned? His friend?"

Date: 2010-05-24 01:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"She's a god." he admitted "She can teleport and has that pesky thing where she can't be killed. Means I have more chances to make her life hell."

Date: 2010-05-24 10:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"A god, huh. Complicates things." It would also make any attack much more risky. "I'm more interested in Phoenix, although ... are they close?"

Date: 2010-05-24 12:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"Worst she could do is make you run a little late. Her and Phoenix are real close, almost more than brother and sister."

Date: 2010-05-25 07:42 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Ah. I see." He grins ... that might in fact be worth the risk.
"Where can I find them?"

Date: 2010-05-25 08:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
Giovan gave Snake the address of the fancy hotel where Janie stayed.

Date: 2010-05-25 09:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"You really must hate her, huh."
Snake made sure to memorize the address. He'd have to be careful, but what was the harm in paying her a visit?

Date: 2010-05-28 09:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"I hate everything about her." he admitted "Everyone attached to her. Every single detail. Her friends are almost as stupid and useless as she is."

Date: 2010-05-28 09:47 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
Snake couldn't hold back a short laugh.
"Dude. What's she done to you?"

Date: 2010-05-28 09:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"She ruined my life." he said "My career, everything that I've worked for. She did it and couldn't care less. You think someone like that would be obvious about it, but she acts high and mighty."

Date: 2010-05-28 10:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
He listened and nodded slowly, this explanation made the man's words more understandable.
"I see. Alright, how about this: I'll go and see what kind of fight she's going to put up. In return, you could do me a little favor."

No worries!

Date: 2010-05-31 06:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Well. I won't have time to pay someone a visit who's equally annoying. You could go and make sure he doesn't get too comfortable while I'm busy."

Date: 2010-05-31 06:44 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"Sounds like my kind of deal. Who is he?"

Date: 2010-05-31 06:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
Snake grinned, that's just what he wanted to hear.

"My little brother. Embarrassing as that is." He described Julian's appearance and also the bar where he worked at and around which he usually could be found.

Date: 2010-05-31 06:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"I know him" Giovan admitted "Had him run a job for me."

Date: 2010-05-31 06:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"You know him?" Snake asked unbelievingly. This was getting weirder and weirder. "What kind of job would he do for you?"

Date: 2010-05-31 07:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"It wasn't big, just getting a valuable book for me from a place where I shouldn't be seen. Apparently he's friends with Janie."

Date: 2010-05-31 07:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
He laughed, shaking his head in amazement.

"Is he. Well, then our deal's more than appropriate, don't you think? What a nice diversion."

Date: 2010-05-31 07:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"I'd say so." Giovan smiled

Date: 2010-05-31 07:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Good. We should meet again afterwards. Have a few drinks, share stories."

Date: 2010-05-31 07:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"Where? How long should we give this?"

Date: 2010-05-31 07:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"A week from now? There's a nice bar, not far away, they have good wine." He told Giovan name and address of the place.

Date: 2010-05-31 07:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] giovan-cattivo.livejournal.com
"I'll meet you then." He was looking forward to this.

Date: 2010-05-31 07:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wherever-yourun.livejournal.com
"Alright. See you then."

Snake smiled, he was curious how this was going to turn out.
