"What, you want the town tour or something?" He asked sarcastically.

"A knowledgeable idea of how the place looks will allow us to figure out potential choke points and figure out what to take out first."
-
"Whoa whoa whoa. I think you're getting ahead of yourself Rambo. We aren't here to attack anyone just yet. And trust me, both of us would be straight fu[i]c[/i]ked if we tried anything in this place. We stick to meeting with the leader if we can and try to get an idea of what's going on. No need to start a war when we don't have soldiers."
-
"See this is why I should've brought the guard.but of course, fúcking plot calls for it." [b]He sighed [/b]
-
"Ya, ya you love to use your disposable fleet what's new? The fact is, your forces would just draw attention to us Rambo."
-
"So? Isn't our whole thing about freeing these Mercs from some asshole ruler?"
-
"Haven't you been listening? We can't do jack against what he's got. Not yet anyways. We're here to HIRE not take his merc's."
-
"I say we take em. Much simpler than trusting him."
-
"How about you be quiet and get paid before your dumbass gets yourself AND me killed?" He said frustratingly. "We go with my plan. That's final. We're almost there now." The car drove around a mountain and down a road to a large icy clearing. In this clearing was a large town. It had two walls, both forming a circle around the three dozen homes that were in the place. The walls branched up onto the side of a nearby mountain and onto a large plateau where a large castle was built with a ginormous tower on its side.

"So.... How's the weather?" [b]Royal tried lightening the mood, but it fell short and cast an awkwardness [/b]
-
"Cold." He replied bluntly as the jeep made its way down the road. Eventually it reached the entrance, and Roy saw dozens of suited up men with white camouflaged machine guns. They eyed the jeep as it drove through into the grid fashioned town. There were a few cars within the town but judging from the conditions of the homes, these people were not able to afford much.
-
"Man for a private military corporation they're very..."
-
"Broken down...not surprising actually. These ass hats are probably taking shit from these people everyday." He said as he continued to drive down.
-
"Yeah... I guess you could say that" [b]He looked out the window, thinking [/b]
-
Soon they arrived at what seemed to be a roadblock. There were armed men waiting there, and one of the camo patterned merc's walked over to the jeep, a machine gun in hand. He tapped on the glass of the now stopped car, and Deity rolled down the window. "What brings you here?" The soldier asked roughly. "Looking to see Teagan." Deity answered. "You don't invite yourself to see the boss." "Ya well I'm looking to do business and thought he'd wanna hear it." "I can't let you pass without his permission." "Then we'll wait..." The soldier looked at Royal, and raised an eyebrow at him. "That armour?" He asked Roy.
-
"What about it? [b]Roy looked over at the man [/b] "Custom made."
-
"No. I've seen that armour before. AMNC issued to the very steel." The soldier began to get suspicious. He peered inside the car and saw the weapon. "Sir. I'm going to have to ask you for your weapon." the soldier said with his grip tightening on his rifle. He cracked his neck, and it seemed that the rest of the soldiers took this as a sign because they all began to walk slowly to the jeep. Deity looked at Roy, with a raised eyebrow.
-
"Pardon me?" [b]Royal looked down at the gun, then back at the man [/b]
-
"Your gun. I'm going to have to take it." The soldier replied. But now, it seemed like a threat. Deity mouthed to Roy [i]"Just give him the damn gun!"[/i]
-
"Ah okay?" [b]Royal slowly passed the shot gun to him [/b] "I expect it back."
-
"Be good and I'll make sure of it." The soldier said as he took the shotgun and strapped it to his hip. "Alright. Since you both co-operated, the guys and I will take you to Teagan. Gunna have to ask you both to get out of the car though. We won't be taking down the road block any time soon." "Sure thing." Deity said passively, opening the door and stepping out.
-
[b]Royal did the same, stretching as he stepped out [/b] "Nice day."
-
"Not really." The soldier said. "But considering we're in a frozen wasteland I suppose it's alright." The soldier gestured for four of he men to come over, and they walked the two visitors past the roadblock. "The names smith by the way." The soldier told the two of them. "Mind if I get your names?" "Alex Coldbourne" Deity answered. He was a lot humbler then usual.
-
"Royal. Or Roy for short. Whichever you prefer really..." [b]Royal kept his eyes forward[/b]
-
"That so? Sounds familiar." Smith said rhetorically. The guards walked the two up a set of stairs which lead up to a small cleared courtyard. In front of the courtyard was the castle, and in between the two visitors and that door were around fifteen men.
-
"Familiar. I'm a well known face." [b]It sounded as if he were boasting [/b]
