Elysium

Ch. 1

Gifre walked into the saloon, his dark brown ears twitching to the noise of the others around him as he glanced around. The red-brown Jackal growled quietly, shuffling past the crowd near the darker and more secluded parts of the room. 'That bounty hunter better be here soon...' , he thought darkly while he fixed his leather jacket, his tail swaying from side to side in annoyance. He calmly sat down at a small table in the corner of the room, looking around the room from time to time to find the person that he had wanted to hire for a little pest of his.

The bounty hunter walked in towering over the small jackal. "Are you the bounty hunter?" Gifre asked, looking up at the towering figure cautiously. "Yea, are you the one who's hiring me?" The bounty hunter replied. Gifre nodded slightly, not breaking his gaze off the cloaked figure, "Yes, I'm hiring you to track down and kill this thief of mine." the jackal handed the hunter an image of a female Grey Fox looking over her shoulder as she was pulling a hood over her head, her face looked like she was being cautious. "What's my payment? Thieves are notoriously hard to find and kill." "Name your price and I will pay," Gifre replied smugly, thinking that the hunter would choose a nice price around 300. "I want 250 up front and 500 after I bring in her body." the hunter replied "What! That is outrageous 750$ for one target?" Gifre growled "You said name your price and I did. Now I could just walk out now, and leave." the hunter started to turn away and leave "No! Wait ill pay I'll pay... just give me a minute.." Gifre pulled out a small bag and muttered darkly as he took out $250 for the hunter as he thought to himself, 'greedy little bastard, he better get this job done well.'.
