Alex walked through the tunnels, looking at all the stands on either side trying to sell you whatever they sold.  Alex stopped at a particular booth which sold her guns ammo. Alex told the clerk the ammo in which she wanted.

“That’ll be ten coins,” the clerk said. Alex abruptly stopped searching her bag and looked up.

“No it’s six,” Alex said, glaring at the clerk.

“Ten or no deal,” the clerk said. Alex stood up straight, she had six coins in her right hand that she got from collecting her last bounty. Max took a step toward the clerk, growling as he flashed his teeth. The clerk took a step back before agreeing to only six coins.

Alex tossed the coins at the clerk before grabbing the box of ammo and heading out of the underground market. Alex walked up the steps and into the town as she headed for the tavern.

Alex and Max walked by an ally-way.

“Are you ‘The Sniper’?” Alex stopped in her tracks before turning towards the voice.

“Depends, who’s asking,” Alex said, facing the tall figure.

“I got an assignment,” the man said.

“I’m listening,” Alex’s full attention was on the man now.

“His name is Jack Fischer, the assignment is with two other guys, Adam and Zach, they know the rest. Meet them at the tavern at six ‘o'clock,” the figure said. Alex nodded as she made her way to the tavern.

Alex pushed open the door to the tavern and walked up to the bar, ordering a beer.

“Tell Adam and Zach to meet in the ally for the assignment,” Alex said before finishing her beer and heading to the ally right next to the tavern.
