My day was gone pretty well at this point, I had already delivered six of my ten packages and I haven’t had one incident at all, not even a broken or cracked package. I lay back in my carrier as it flew through the sky, I decided not to turn on the main engine as of yet I really needed a break and I was pretty far ahead of schedule. Also from what I had learn from the way this machine functioned what these lights meant the next delivery point should be very close by, so not using the main engine wouldn’t really take that much time off my day. But it gave me a chance to rest just what I needed more than anything at this point. I’ve been going at it nonstop all day and it was only just past midday.

The seventh delivery point would be coming up soon, and though it was short lived I did get a bit of rest. The red light flashed and I got ready for the fall, I had learned that unbuckling the belts before the carrier flipped allowed me to have a much smoother fall from it. Which In turn made it much easier to get myself in place to use the carrier as catapult.

The package fell and I was following it soon after. I landed on the ground and before I could even look up I knew something was wrong. It was dead quiet and I didn’t see a city anywhere near by, I looked in the note pad to find out what the recipient looked like and it just made things worst. "What? Wait where the image what’s this." The pad read no recipient mark needed payment will be attached to large three collect payment and leave package. "Really have you guys head of the word setup, I mean really come on guys geezz!" I yelled out to the air.

I looked around and saw a bag hanging from a three that must be the bate, I went to take a step towards the three and woosh! and arrow flew right by my head. I knew it was a trap I turned and there was a whole group of them standing at the three line. I sighed and held my hands out catching the package and setting it on the ground in front of me. "You know you should work on being stealthy, well actually if I were you I would work on not talking to myself so loudly. “Came the voice of what seem to be the leader came echoing across the field to me. "Well I didn’t think that there was anyone here that could hear me or maybe I wanted to draw you out and get this over with." I said in reply as I started to walk to the bag and pulled it from the three.

I held the bag in my hand by its neck, holding It up for them to see." Now before we go any further tell me whether or not the payment is In this bag." I shock the bag and walk back towards the package. "Ha ha that's just filled with rocks." He replied pulling a bag from his pocket and holding it up for me to see. "You mean this payment why would we give it to. You when we can just take what we want and keep it. You must not be very smart if you believe that." I smiled, and switch the two bags pushing my speed as fast as it would go so I would be back standing next to the package before my phantom image faded.

"I would like to thank you for cooperating with me today and proving your payment as promised." I said with a smile as I pushed the package forward to them. The leader looked at me in confusing and just as I was about to take off he realized something was wrong. He opened the bag in his hand and saw the rocks. "You switched them must be some kind of magic trick but I can’t let you leave with that. Get him men kill him if he won’t give up!" He screamed as he turned the bag over dropping the rocks to the ground. "See I knew thanking you would be to nice I should have just took the money and left you the package."

Before I could even finish talking they were arrows coming at me, I knew this wasn’t going to end well for me. What’s more is moving so fast that I would be back before my phantom faded meant I wore myself out completely. I could still fight them off but not with the phantom style, which would serve to be a problem for me soon than later and when I say sooner I mean now l. I dropped to the ground and rolled back and forth barely avoiding the arrows, then without warning one lucky arrow caught my shoulder. "Ahh come in I wasn’t even fighting you that really hurts. I give up already just stop shouting at me already jezz, arrows really hurt you know." I screamed out as I tried to get to my feet then pulling the arrow out, which hurt a lot more than I expected it to.
