Legend
As time passes, you realize you're ready to get out there again. At night, you start casing places that seem like good targets for you later. That's when you see someone else doing the same thing. You'd know that hood anywhere. You cautiously approach Tanya who nearly stabs you when you try to sneak up on her.
"Hey! It's me!"
"I know that's why I didn't kill you for sneaking up on me, though I was sorely tempted!"
"You pick a good place yet? Maybe we should hit one together like that last job. We made a good team."
"I like working alone, now if you don't mind I'm busy and I don't need your lame attempts to woo me buzzing in my ear."
"What, so are you going to kill me, like all the rest of your suitors?"
"What?!"
"Garrick told me that if they don't stop, you end up killing every guy that tries to get to know you."
"He did, did he? So if that's what you heard, why aren't you stopping?"
"Feh, like I actually believed it. I'm guessing he just told me that because he tried with you one time and wasn't successful due to the wall you put up. Yet he doesn't want the risk that one day you MIGHT let that wall down to someone else that isn't him."
Tanya looks at you, like you got it in one.
"That's an interesting assessment "
"Besides, even if it was true, at least I'd be killed by someone as beautiful as you rather than by some troll in a nameless dungeon somewhere."
"Wow, you really don't quit do you?"
"Nope. Not when the treasure is so precious."
"Ah, so you see me as an object for you to steal, and then after the deed has been accomplished, you lose interest."
"Ah ha! There's that wall again. You know damn well that wasn't what I meant."
"No I don't know that. Look why don't you just give up? It's not going to happen."
"Why not? My words are not empty. I mean all of them. I have feelings for you and not just on a physical level; I'd like us to be a team in all things, not just the bedroom. Why not take the chance? If I turn out to be the jackass that you seem to think I am, I'm sure you'll be able to make me pay for it."
Before Tanya can reply she falls to the ground unconscious. A dart sticking out her arm.
"I hate to break up true love, but I have business to discuss with one of you, and the other well I'll probably just end up killing. Hell, maybe I'll end up killing the both of you, the night's young." Falcon says appearing from nowhere.
You don't even have time to react before you have that familiar feeling again.
"Don't move. You try anything funny and you'll be getting a bolt in your back." A whispering voice says as a crossbow is jammed into your back.
"You know, you keep shoving that thing behind me like that, you could at least kiss me first." You say with a sigh.
"Well, I see you've been busy since joining the Guild; I trust you've been making yourself comfortable there? Looks like you've even got yourself a little girlfriend."
"I guess you can say that."
"Good, then I guess you'll be able to tell us what its like on the inside and where it's located exactly."
"You mean to tell me the all powerful Syndicate can't find a bunch of thieves?"
"Ha ha, its funny, we've captured a lot of them, tried to bribe them, mostly torture them and all of them have never revealed its location, who knew there was honor among thieves eh?"
"It happens."
"Hmm, well we'll see if it happens again." Falcon says, snaps his fingers and then you feel a crushing blow to the back of your head knocking you out.
"Hey! It's me!"
"I know that's why I didn't kill you for sneaking up on me, though I was sorely tempted!"
