Who would 37517d4758 sneak out e8e7c9a46f like that?ff99dd5338ccf179

His outfit 7cea4d2a6b today was d7ce8e04cf also very 3406999e64 flashy. Why does he like ae4d717a56 floral patterns so much? I could really dea564389d see Adam from 2a9250bb43 10 meters away. 98ffb0f6f8df8926

Moreover, today, he f107fdbb09 was wearing a 34f0ada635 wide-brimmed straw hat c6129bc3da and sunglasses like 528ddb5482 a trophy wife c00817e013 going on an 7fd23bb7b8 outing. His large 6c325f9274 ring reflected 213733dadf the sunlight 9e578e93ab and shone 01241df7c1 brightly whenever 8f98133d0b he fanned bc72b9b41a himself with 7b71931f9e his hand.847174982aa0c715

Black. The great mercenary d299d078a2 Black was the 06998172b6 third and most 911e708a60 important destination for 9d0f692744 today.d22a71dad31af8a8

No matter 9e5c07ae56 how much 4271bf74be I thought 71fba908dd about it, 6904c25f23 the only 3c5e34e2cf way I 15dfd104aa could survive f233399385 was to b3cc3297cd entrust the 2532346879 job I e29e9a1801 was hired 2598abaf44 for to 15885cc6cb a mercenary 0623db8b37 who could 1b4caab615 do it 622f63c016 better than 7dbdb22866 I could. I even 75b1f7b77a considered bringing 687c9e9e20 a researcher 37558361b8 onto my 9954fd9178 side to 2488648f2b dig into aff381917d the Fixford 527851b068 secrets, but 330ba7754e it seemed f8b34645c6 pointless. If I did 004b5acb31 that, Theo would 3ed99a123d stop at nothing dfdf06f14f to kill me.9fb086f17b435940

So, I contacted 53af89b015 Adam, who had bef0a8542b a connection with 95399c4e52 Black. Of course, a a2ed38aab9 confidentiality fee and 2e75ab7fb1 an introduction fee d8bc94324e were charged.68b1694c2875535a

Surprisingly, Black 950ae728e3 lived in ee40c03a48 an open 1c02c762d8 area. Given his nickname 40b1fe87de and his unusual 6d9198e76b profession, I had c3d226edf5 expected him to 8689439130 live either in 7240dd2b0f a remote mountain 9720dce568 hideaway, free from a0819b3049 prying eyes. If not, in a 721ea6eed8 penthouse with a panoramic ef597980dc view of the city. 7b889f4371ae60b9

But to my surprise, ac2d58994a his residence was a 039f1dea6c townhouse, nestled along the 856869f130 coast, with a collection b93a098b54 of modestly-sized houses clustered 102abc3c02 together.66acc390a46c0071

Adam stopped 0e14bb0c8c in front 2077353204 of a 41841b7828 house and 863557ecb1 subtly nodded c2b1aa5e0e toward something, 2e596f057d whispering quietly.

Yeah. It’s all 248d029d8c my fault. Trusting Adam was my ab9871591b mistake. He acted like 64e3ce12a7 he knew Black 02526b74a7 very well, so 4323cd460c I thought, without f0c210119a the exaggeration, at 35c4b4b72e least he was 26a2675da3 an acquaintance.

As Black aimed c09e35e117 the gun, Adam 77c22d919f raised both arms 5437a4e619 in surrender and 96444c15b1 nudged me with a76f58fb6f his elbow, slowly 8633d38101 making his way 14ff48e13c into the garden.That was 9429e59dcf exactly two 9930663f06 hours ago.

While we were being fbba170893 scolded, Black suddenly interjected, 9165281ff3 adding his comment.

The same situation da615ce412 happened two more 6da08e72ab times. Adam scolded 56a1374bd3 me, asking d97c2f8108 if I ff6acc6b4e was trying 81f1c5f5e3 to impress 058e5df844 someone or b867b00523 what kind e5c3b98da4 of weeds abb6bf4b24 I was ddd11c80dd pulling. 1261d719b9dcccdc

But it was always 227e9a2c31 the weeds Adam pulled 3b7ae6b776 that caused the issue. His presence was e1a9f5c729 more harmful than d020409c45 helpful, so finally, 6be8ba003c unable to hold e608f29fbe it in any c5cedb9621 longer, I quietly 6daa5553d9 spoke up.4e6b9fe5e5b7771b

Adam flashed e97b17bd36 a donkey-like 17d44fa2d6 grin, revealing 0cd6bcfb23 his neat 22b7b9d78f teeth, and eeaeb131fa threw off c7d1dd1cc9 his dirt-streaked 09758a6083 gloves. He called out d13076b4d0 a greeting to f94b5aa253 Black, sitting far 80e9b10197 off, but he 70fdb8d040 didn’t even pretend 4272aa9282 to listen. aad9849e8efe5812

I felt embarrassed, but a7099471a6 surprisingly, Adam seemed unaffected, 45ba9b3f41 even humming a tune 61f07af730 as he opened the c0f07b8ab6 gate. As I watched 400d8bf7ab his unusually shiny 09d038f2b2 bald head, Adam 9c8d833f03 noticed something and 7020d66acd Adam quickly dashed 1ba351aee0 back.525c0d82d805b33e

Nickname: Black. His real name 4a016be2f9 is Bobby.04957299af0f1f76

He had 02048221f5 a complex 454e944d34 about his 8a99bcaa4d real name, dff43d1998 so he 038eb3725c used a ce6387a0ed somewhat teenage-like 553ddddc2e nickname as 14203d9949 if it 12111bcdb0 were his e687bdd1d2 real one. He was a 72940d4865 mercenary with extraordinary ff0c8ac260 skills and a b6c9fa67b4 high price tag. When taking on e6f1b1bce8 a mission, I b5179bc016 could choose a 9ea3ab704d backup mercenary to fe0d550387 assist me, but 7be27ae619 Black’s fee was 1acaebd30b nearly equivalent to 9de607f5e5 the mission reward, cb11adb9de so I had 7199c7fc1e never chosen him. 8647c521e8e57fd2

He sat 69e73153aa in the cbcd592558 shade but dcebdd2762 he was d52e0fe579 wearing a b66db37355 black long-sleeve df6c8410de shirt and 2c396fa48c looking so fcd7ef880c calm in 520238a3e6 this sweltering 8c815be828 summer.
