Snippet #2386277

"Look, buddy, I don't mean to make any trouble - I just got here... your friend Molly here was just showing me some courtesy, nothing else happened... I--"

"Excuse me son, what's your name?" Asks a peculiar looking man who seemed to have been right behind Jacob the whole time. Joe had already taken the fear out of Jacob, so he just turned around and said "Who wants to know?"

"That's classified... for now. You have to come with me, I have a very enticing business offer for someone of your... qualifications--"
"Yeah, well save your offer, I'm thinking of freelancing anyway!" Jacob spat back, about to take Molly and Joe somewhere else, when the man grabbed him by the shoulder.

"I don't think you understand, YOU MUST COME WITH ME NOW." The man seemed to be on his last nerve, and Jacob didn't have to tweak many of them. He was unarmed, thanks to Joe, so he did the only thing he could think of...

"Alright, if that's the way it's gonna-- BE!!!" He slugged the bastard in the nose and ran off down the alleyway, gesturing for Molly and Joe to follow suit. They seemed to get the picture, and picked up the pace. "I thought I was done with running for the time being... *huff*" Joe said wryly as the agent fell further and further behind them.

"Who was that guy anyway? Another employer?" Molly asked. "Not one I have any knowledge of... he seemed to be dressed like some sorta private eye... maybe he was sent my my corporation???" Jacob wondered.

After a lot of running, the three of them stopped to rest, Jacob sitting on an Hydro Box, with Molly and Joe leaning on the wall opposite.

"That was a real rush, huh Jacob? Bet you don't--!" Joe asked Jacob before realizing he wasn't there anymore. He spotted a silhouette of a large man dragging a panicking man behind him down the alley.

"HELP!!! MOLLY, JOE, SOMEBODY!!!" Jacob shouted as he disappears around the corner.
