The Gig Part 1

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Back in the present

The troika came to wretched door that said

'Givers'

"Givers more like Bloodsuckers" ridiculed Laetus as he waited for Jak to open the door.

"But we'll be taking from them right now" said Umbra as he and the other two braced themselves for what's to come.

Cre~~~~~~ak

As a pronounced sound announced their entrance an RK scurried off to find their 'Giver', while another led them to a removed room, within the room there were a few chairs a table filled with food and alcohol, Jak sat down and the other two did the same.

"How do you think this will go, Umbra?" Jak queried while closing his eyes.

"Well, we could either end up not getting what we want and more grievances or getting more of what we want while scamming them, and everything within that spectrum"

"In any case this is your time to shine Laetus"

"Alright, trust me" said Laetus with a burning aura coming form his body.

Less than 5 minutes later the "Giver" along with some others came in

"Ha ha to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting the Great Jak and his aides" said Lox Coffin the "Giver"

"Business" Jak replied shortly " you will be talking to him" as he pointed to Laetus.

"Ah, if i remember correctly your name is Laetus, no? Such a shame that you're not with us, we will always have a spot for you, and you as well Umbra" said Lox.

"No thank you" they replied at the same time.

"The business we came for needs a little under the table management" said Laetus "That's why we are using your services"

"Oh, the only big thing we have in n town is the caravan in the GK's turf, are you gonna mess with them?"

"Do you want to lose in profits?" asked Laetus.

" No its fine, so how about we hammer that deal "Lox slovenly said.

"Perfect " said Laetus.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
