    His outfit today was 1e966b75dc also very flashy. Why does he like ed003a58c1 floral patterns so much? I could really eae7bf9d05 see Adam from 0aaa9715e3 10 meters away. 93902e6fab536f78

    No matter how much 6b95265dcd I thought about it, 189efda4e0 the only way I 71e212e6b9 could survive was to a09889f192 entrust the job I 6165e425be was hired for to 95dfb1e2f0 a mercenary who could 5ad4ff07d1 do it better than 3d8704a9b0 I could. I even considered f1cd32be86 bringing a researcher f3b51fb7eb onto my side 86004e603d to dig into d06ff1bd97 the Fixford secrets, 16e9b55292 but it seemed c276f495cc pointless.

    Surprisingly, Black lived 2c5aa93675 in an open 22fdf883c4 area. Given his nickname and 442df4a4c7 his unusual profession, I ac047098a1 had expected him to 4b79c8add5 live either in a 9f2dfbeff7 remote mountain hideaway, free e48411b25c from prying eyes.

    Yeah. It’s all my fault. Trusting Adam was my 6ff3368aa3 mistake.

    As Black aimed the 57c5aa3042 gun, Adam raised both 2eafc5526c arms in surrender and 7331a91552 nudged me with his 01789e2881 elbow, slowly making his d193fa457c way into the garden.That was exactly 029c2f5f08 two hours ago.

    Adam flashed a 76f456d86a donkey-like grin, revealing ccd19416f5 his neat teeth, c84e25a9f3 and threw off cf09f8cc72 his dirt-streaked gloves.

    Nickname: Black. His real name is e060a15e7e Bobby.00fcac04b5153344

    He had a complex 2f3e08a036 about his real name, a23f1ea358 so he used a 786e59ef6d somewhat teenage-like nickname as fa75938d79 if it were his 61662099f2 real one. He was a 0dfa4107bc mercenary with extraordinary d01f008e01 skills and a 71bf1e210a high price tag. When taking on a 7893b96e85 mission, I could choose 01ba73e3df a backup mercenary to 5b1413b0a7 assist me, but Black’s 3f01b75f3f fee was nearly equivalent f489eb1290 to the mission reward, f8ec115f7e so I had never 42cf1e8774 chosen him. 5b64ded409a9415b
