>>5135889Stuffing the pictures into your <span class="mu-g">SWEATY FUR COAT</span> for safekeeping, you direct your attention back to your boss. You already know that people are going missing around here, you groan, can they give you anything <span class="mu-i">USEFUL</span> for a change?!
“Stanley, stick close to me and I’ll give you everything you want, need, <span class="mu-i">and</span> deserve–starting with a hot tip from a surviving operative!” Taking another breath from their mask, Sonny runs a hand through their slicked-back hair.
“Using his testimony and several ‘<span class="mu-i">bait</span>’ vehicles, we’ve determined that whoever, or <span class="mu-i">whatever</span> is making off with company property is only doing so when the victims are in <span class="mu-b">SMALL GROUPS.</span> Larger convoys and bigger teams get through without a scratch, but our logistics and supply operators are taking the brunt of whatever the hell’s going on. Lots of simoleons falling through our fingers, Stanley. A <span class="mu-i">lot</span> of cheddar.”
Adjusting their <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY TIE,</span> Sonny looks you in the eye with grim determination. “I won’t mince words here–I know you’re our best bet for putting this issue to bed. Our other teams are too busy fighting <span class="mu-r">BANDITS, SKELETON STRAGGLERS, AND WILD DOGS,</span> so I leave it in your <span class="mu-i">VERY</span> capable hands.” Punctuating the sentence with an apologetic shrug, your employer continues. “It’s most-likely separate from your standing objectives with the <span class="mu-r">LIEUTENANTS AND LICH,</span> but you’d be making a <span class="mu-i">lot</span> of people happy taking care of this situation, Stan. <span class="mu-i">Especially</span> me…”
Averting your eyes from your boss’ suggestive wink, you instead give Sunny a thumb’s up of approval–just roam around in a small group, huh? Sounds peachy!”
“Believe me, it’ll be <span class="mu-i">much</span> more than that if you succeed…” Purrs your boss as they lean back in their wheelchair with a pleased look on their masked face! “Remember what I said about <span class="mu-g">BALI</span> earlier, Stanley? Pull this off and you might want to start shopping for towels…”
You’re pretty sure your <span class="mu-g">GAMUGO COMMEMORATIVE TOWEL</span> is waiting for you back at your apartment, so you’re basically ready to board now! After this <span class="mu-r">SKELETON SHIT</span> blows over, that is!
