Making a living - CYOA part 3

[MarieWoodell]

Part 3:

“I think I am going to need a bit more information. Why do you want her dead?” You ask. He does not answer you but waves the gun around looking thoughtful. You get a little bit worried as the gun is waved in your direction.

“You want more information?” He finally says sounding bored and annoyed at the same time. You slowly nod. He leans forward as if he is about to share some huge secret. You follow suit and motion for him to speak to you.

“Have you heard about Neverdie?” He questions, completely serious. You pull back slightly and nod again bemused.

“Do you know how much he paid for the asteroid?”

“Of course.” You reply. Neverdie was one of the first people you were told about when you came to Calypso.

“It's made him a lot of money, that asteroid.” He tells you and waits for you to respond. You don't move. You are very confused about the relevance of Neverdie to the job.

“A lot of people thought he was crazy for paying as much.”

“I'm sorry I don't quite understand what this has to do with the woman.” You say nervously keeping your eyes fixed on his gun which he has thankfully stopped waving but is still pointing in your direction.

“You know it's rude to interrupt someone when they are talking,” He says while glaring at you. “Neverdie was willing to take a risk and it paid off.”

You wait for him to continue hoping he will not take too long to get to his point. He pauses for a moment looking thoughtful again. He finally rests his gun on his lap and lets go of it. You drink your drink while patiently sitting there.

“Several years ago there was some odd behaviour amongst the native animals here. A whole team of some of the best hunters had to cull a large number of them and take down their queen bee in protection of our planet. It caused havok. A scientist went missing and a lot of lives were changed all over one object...” He trails off again into his own thoughts.

“...People shouldn't get so obsessed with objects...” He mutters absent mindedly.

There is another pause in which you finish your drink. The guy suddenly looks at you.

“Neverdie risked a lot of money on that object,” He finishes looking pleased with himself. You groan when you finally realise he has been talking about the Atrox egg the entire time. He hasn't told you a thing about the woman and never intended to.

What do you do?

Interesting story, would have liked an option that allowed you to ask him again about details before accepting job....guess that would be boring for next part though

Such things are reasons why EF is better than EU.

Tehe. Not sure you've got the peds on the ped card to order a green atrox queen omlette. I'm pretty sure that cost Neverdie about 100k peds and you aren't that rich yet.
