Decker going DOWN!

Next thing we know is a guy who looks like Harrison Ford is chasing after one of them!

Times like this bring back old, fond memories. Done some . . . things similar to this back with Nerri (and some friends) back on Nebari Prime!

What? You actually thought I'd just ran and hid whilst on my homeworld? That and standing apart, not conforming?

Heh, think again! Not like anyone got hurt (much) in those "deals". Not like they couldn't spare it. It was harmless snurching, not stealing! There's a difference, you know. Issue came up somewhere between John and Chiana over some kind of Commandment or some dren like that stating "Thou shall not steal."

She'd said the same thing I'd told you and I could explain to you the difference (and how much or little it matters out back in the Uncharted), but I won't!

Right now we have a Bladerunner to roll!

Betcha that when Betty and Ragan showed me and my sister here that movie that we'd not use it for this! Must thank them both for that, not very often that we'd been able to study a mark as much as that, really! Known that it would work, this plan I and my sister had come up with. Decker had gotten jumped by Leon in a blind alley after that business with Zhora (had to be an alley because no pedestrians only something like a few steps away noticed where as before, with Zhora EVERYONE gathered to watch. . . when the shooting was done). This means that our Bladerunner has a bad habit. He doesn’t keep out of allies!

Alleys like the one we just lured him into right now! I had faked bungling picking his pocket. Had grabbed his wallet, but jostled him enough that he noticed. Had ignored his shouted orders to stop and let him chase me down this alley. Yeah, yeah. Could have tried to "vamp" him into this ambush like I would usually do in OTHER circumstances, but in his own words (in a "voiceover" during the beginning of the movie) his own now divorced wive had called him a cold fish. In other words, I’d be wasting my time. So, using an old standby.

Luck being good (for a change!) we’d practically ran right into this slijnot right as he’d been buying that "newspaper" you’d seen him use in the movie (very beginning) while searching for a new job. Admit that this is short notice, but I’ve done similar things with Nerri (my Nerrie) as did my sister, so…

When sis comes out of the shadows and blindsides Decker (guy’s already buzzed on something at a guess from what I’d smelt on his breath in passing. . . so EARLY in the morning? . . . okay), he goes down like "a ton of bricks" as John woulda said.

"Pip, what the hell are you doing?" Betty blinks, looking upset for some reason.

"She’s getting me a way into the police station, Bladerunner section," Elrondir says, coming up next to the sprawled out man in question. "Not like they’d just let any old elf walk in, unannounced!"

Yeah, that’s another thing. Plans had been thrown around that if we got a chance, to "put a bag" on Decker so we could get an insider in on this case. Someone who could go places more easily than anyone just off the street, you know…

1. And with a magical disguise he’d just thrown on, ol’ Elrondir is our man (or elf) for the job!
