Kharon - Chapter 2
Jacob is sitting behind a desk talking to one of his underlings while a big brutish looking fella stands quietly in the the corner of the room. Jacob says, “I don’t give a rat’s asshole! The shipment needs to be delivered to the drop point tomorrow night.” Before his underling can respond a large imposing figure comes crashing through the window landing in the middle of the room unconscious with blood gushing from his head. Luke then jumps through the window. Upon seeing Luke the brutish man in the corner springs into action. He attacks Luke with ferocity. Luke is quick and dodges the man’s charge. The brutish man spins around to face Luke and takes a gun out aiming it at Luke. He is about to fire when he is bashed on the head with a shovel by Emma. As he drops to the floor the gun sails out of his hand and slides towards Luke who picks it up.
Emma admires the shovel, “Amazing what you find lying around.”
Luke walks to the two gentlemen at the desk. He puts the gun to the underling's head and pulls the trigger. At the same time Jacob reaches for a gun under his desk but before he can pull it out Luke is on top of him holding him by the throat and pointing the gun to his head. “Hello, old friend”, Luke says.
Jacob stutters as Luke chokes him. “Lu...Luke! So good...to see you. I di...didn’t know you got out.”

“Shut the fuck up Jacob! You think I don’t remember who double crossed me and got me locked up in the first place! You fucking weasel!”
“Ok, so there was some misunderstandings and mistakes made in the past. Nothing we can’t work out.” As Jacob is saying this he sneakily tries reaching for a knife he has concealed on him.
Luke sees this and knocks the knife out of Jacob’s hand before he can do anything.
“Nice try shit hole! Now listen, the only reason I haven’t carved you up yet is because I need you. My associate Emma over there...”
Emma waves a hand at Jacob, “Hello.”
“...just escaped from Morton lock up”, continues Luke. “We need new clothes, weapons, and a fast hard to trace ship. We're getting the hell off this godforsaken island. And unfortunately for me nobody knows these docks better than you.”
“Will that make us even?”
“If you get us off this island I won’t kill your ass but if I ever see you again you're a dead man. How about that for a deal?”
“I can accept those terms. However, the weapons will be difficult. They got a serious crack down going on. That was the conversation that you just interrupted.”
Luke studies Jacob to see if he is telling the truth. “Fine. We will take this one, your knife and the gun under your desk.”
“But that’s all my weapons!”, protests Jacob.
Luke turns to Emma, “Search the bodies.” Emma searches the dead men and produces a knife. “And we will take that knife too."
“Come on! How am I supposed to survive in this hell hole without any weapons!”, yells
Jacob.
Luke cocks his gun. “You want to renegotiate our deal.”
Jacob looks at the gun and then back at Luke. "I’ll get you the clothes and the ship but you're a fucking asshole.”
Luke releases Jacob. “Good talk.”
