A Chapter by CrossesOfTime

Creed had now gone back to RFI headquarters. He took the elevator to get back at where Tanri and the others are. He then arrived at the floor in where the briefing room of their team where. Jade and Jephtah had noticed that Creed had just come back and they also noticed that he brought a suitcase with him.

"I'm back." Creed said to them.

"Took you long enough Creed. Let me guess, there was a trap huh?" Jephtah said.

"Not really. It was more of a small skirmish, that's all." Creed replied.

"It's a good thing that you weren't hurt Creed." Jade replied.

"Thanks for the concern Jade." Creed said with a smile.

"Are you two done yet?" Jephtah asked sarcastically as he took out a cigarette and began smoking it. "So, is that it?" he added to ask.

Creed took his pack of cigarettes from Jephtah, lit one himself and began smoking as well.

"Yeah. Z3,000,000 in this case right here." Creed said as he opened the briefcase and showed its contents to them.

The case contained the huge amount which was only the partial payment for the case. Jephtah could not help himself but get awed in the sight of this amount infront of him.

"DAAAAMMMN!! I'm set for life with this amount!" Jephtah said.

"Not so fast Jeph." Jade said. "We still need to keep the end of our bargain in accepting this mission." she added.

Tanri now who was downloading the map of the location in which the last activity of Shadow Blade has been traced. She was really working hard in order to help the three bounty hunters. Shortly after her hardwork, she was able to acquire an accurate map of the location known as El Roka.

"Creed, Jade and Jephtah, I've got the map of El Roka and also the waypoint on how to get to El Roka as well." Tanri said to them.

She gave the map database to Jade and she took it from Tanri and kept it in her bag. Jephtah and Creed were now preparing for their departure as well. Creed stocked up on some bullets for his .45 caliber pistol and Jephtah began polishing his Iron Knuckles for combat. They were done preparing and now met again at Tanri's desk.

"So everyone ready?" Creed said.

"Yeah!" said both Jade and Jephtah in unison.

"In this mission, the RFI will provide you a 4WD Jeep. It can access most terrain types ranging from desert, rocky plains and rain forests. I've given Jade the map database on how to get to El Roka. I've also highlighted on her map the shortest way on getting there." Tanri said to the three of them.

"Thanks Tanri. We owe you a lot." Jade said to her.

"Don't mention it. Just come back alive and we'll call it even." Tanri said with a smile.

"Okay guys lets get going." Jephtah said to the both of them.

Creed, Jade and Jephtah now took the elevator and went on the floor where the jeep that was set for them was located. Jephtah took the driver's seat implying that he will be the one to drive. Creed took the farthest back seat in order to scout for enemies in case they get followed. Jade was also with him in the back seat to assist him in any way possible.

"Okay guys let's go and do this thing!" Jephtah said as he started the jeep on rode on the way to El Roka.
