"We're always interested in work," Reyes says. "Of course, it depends on what the job is."

"I've got me ways - I know yer in deep poodoo wit' Gulgo, else yer wouldn't be sellin' to me. If yer interested, I'll make it worth yer whiles to do a bit o' re-connaissance when yer meet wit' the slug and beg fer yer lives. Where 'e is, wot kind o' muscle e's got, that sorta thing."

Wayde thinks to himself.

Now that we can do.

"What's a job like that worth these days? Spying on a mobster isn't the most healthy of professions...especially these days when the Empire isn't around to keep the Hutts on short chains."

"Depends on the info, my son. A thou or two, nothin' like wot we did 'ere today, but it's good money fer goin' where you lot are already goin, eh?"

(Nodding)

"Half in advance, the remainder upon delivery."

Pinky bristles at that, but then regains control of his faculties. "Yer a greedy Hutt's uncle, ain't yer? I can't GIVE yer 'alf now, 'cause you've already GOT all me bloody money in that bloody case."

Erit speaks up.

"We will probably not reach any sort of agreement as of this moment. I take it that, should we learn anything interesting about Gulgo, you would be willing to buy that information. I propose we leave now, keep our eyes open and come back if we dig up dirt. Is this acceptable?"

Pinky calms down again, saying, "Yeah, yeah. Keep yer eyes n' ears open." Then to his crew, "Come on boys! We got credits to make!" Bran snorts and lumbers back to the landing craft, followed by the other goons. The Skyhoppers power up and one does a quick circle around the mesa while Pinky's entourage settles into their ships.

Erit stares after the craft, then at the money.

"That went rather well, wouldn't you agree?"

Wayde checks himself over, glancing back at Second Chance.

"We're all in one piece and we don't have to hoof it back to town...I'd say we're doing just fine. Now let's get out of here before the locals start eyeing us for dinner."

"Anyone else noticed we just made a drug deal with a shaved Ewok sitting on a some giant Gamorrean's shoulders? I don't know about you guys, but I thought that was pretty fucked up."

"I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, I've seen a lot of strange stuff. That pink freak riding piggy-back ranks up there in the top ten..."

Erit shrugs.

"We got rid of the spice, we have our credits. What else is there to discuss? Now, if you will, Gentlemen, let us proceed inside, deliver the money to Gulgo and sort out any persisting problems afterwards. Agreed?"

"For once, I'm in complete agreement with the Jedi. Let's mount up and get the heck out of here."

Wayde motions for everyone to police up the area and walks towards the speeder.

Seeing the opposition move toward their vehicles and begin to leave, Jileeza smiles. Seems the exchange went off smoothly.

Once the last vehicle is out of sight, 'Za exits the turret and comes down to join the others. "That went off well. Now what? We go pay the fat worm?"

"Something like that. Let's get out of here while things are still working."

Jileeza flashes Wayde a heart-stopping smile, which he is one of the few to have seen it before and lived to tell about it. "Sounds good to me. I'll be in the forward turret caressing my cannon if you need me."

Mak opens his mouth as if he's about to say something, then shuts it very quickly.

Wayde looks at Mak,

"Eh...I wouldn't say what you're about to. The last guy that did still walks with a limp."

Comlinks crackle and Arnae is heard.

"All aboard! This maglev mono's leaving the station. Next stop, Usury."
