An interesting meeting(fukuro)

Luka blinks and frowns as he glares at the collector. "Fine.."

Sodom smiles and looks at Eckzahn. He giggles and flies around him. "Play in the castle with me!"

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm a hybrid like you after all. Not too many hybrids out there now." The collector said looking at Luka.

"Sure, Sodom." Eckzahn smiled and looked at Sodom.

Luka rolls his eyes "Fine. What do you want to talk about?"

Sodom giggles and starts to run around the castle.

"Not out in public. Follow me." The collector said.

Eckzahn smiled and followed Sodom around the castle.

Sodom giggles and pulls him to the slide. "Go down with me like master!"

Luka sighs softly and follows him.

"Okay." Eckzahn smiled and went down the slide with Sodom.

The collector went into a cafe and sat down in a corner booth. "Now we can talk."

Luka sits down and looks at the collector "What do you want?"

Sodom giggles and smiles at Eckzahn. "What do you want to do? I can turn into an older version and give you a piggy back ride I'm strong and tall like master in that form!"

"A simple chat." The collector said looking at Luka. "My name is Smoke Tepes. And that is not a nickname, or a code name, or whatever."

Eckzahn blinked and looked at Sodom. "Uh, sure." Eckzahn smiled lightly.

Luka looks at him for a moment. "Smoke Tepes.. I guess I'll give you my name, if you spread it around I'll kill you.. Luka Crosszeria.."

Sodom giggles and spins around. He grew in height and his hair grows longer. He smiles and looks at Eckzahn.

"I stand to gain nothing by spreading your name, Luka." Smoke said looking at Luka.

Eckzahn smiled and looked at Sodom. "Wow, you really do grow up." Eckzahn blinked.

Luka crosses his arms "Fine what is it you wanted to talk about Smoke?"

Sodom giggles and smiles nodding his head. "Yep! I take this form sometimes to help master but I like my kid form more much cuter!" He turns around and kneels "You wanted a piggy back ride right?"

"What my former employers are doing of course. I wouldn't be talking with you otherwise." Smoke said as a waitress brought Smoke some black tea and gave Luka a glass of water.

"Sure.." Eckzahn said getting on Sodom's back.

Luka blinks and looks at Smoke. "Former employers? Alright talk.." He looks at the water and takes a sip of water.

Sodom smiles and starts running around with Eckzahn.

Smoke took a sip of his black tea. "You saw what was in the briefcases, correct? Documents, precious gems, and a gold crown."

Eckzahn smiled and held onto Sodom as he ran around.

Luka nods his head "Yeah.. Why did they have them?"

Sodom giggles and spins around "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know the exacts, but I do know that they plan on using them for something on the black market." Smoke said looking at Luka.

Eckzahn looked at Sodom. "I'm not sure.."

Luka takes another sip. "Black market? I hate that place.. Where's the black market in this town?"

Sodom hums as he thinks "Hungry?"

Smoke took a sip of his black tea. "The black market doesn't stay in one location. It mostly moves from abandoned building to abandoned building. Some of the more serious stall holders keep a permanent stall over in the dead part of town. It's were a lot of the hobos lives, and they are pretty quick to snatch up someone they think is cute."

Eckzahn nodded. "Yeah, food sounds good right now."

Luka blinks and frowns slightly "What's that last part mean? Are you saying their going to go after Sodom or something?" He drinks the rest of the water.

Sodom giggles and smiles as he heads for a food cart. "I've never had things from here!"

Smoke blinked and looked at Luka. "Well, the hobos might. That depends if he's in the dead side of town or not. If he's not then the hobo's are nothing to worry about. As for my former employers they keep their hands clean. They don't abduct people unless they find their base of operations, which is why they blew up their old building."

"That's a food cart, they normally carry things like hotdogs or burgers there." Eckzahn explained to Sodom.

Luka sighs, he'd have to remember to tell Sodom to stay away from that side of town. "Where are your employers at now? Also I guess I won't kill you.."

Sodom smiles and looks at the food cart. "Lets get food here!"

"Beats me. I left after my last paycheck. And when you leave, you bet your ass that they aren't going to say anything about future plans to you. So I have about as much of an idea as you do. But my best guess would be deep in the dead part of town. The hobos rarely attack cars, so driving in and out would be easy and basically worry free for them." Smoke said finishing his black tea.

"Alright, I'll pay too." Eckzahn smiled kindly looking at Sodom.

Luka looks at Smoke and runs a hand through his hair. "I guess I'll be visiting the dead part of town.."

Sodom giggles and jumps around. He got some weird looks since an adult was acting like a child.

"Looks like. Just contact me if you even need any information about them. I may not work for them, but I know their past." Smoke said looking at Luka.

Eckzahn ordered food from the cart, he gave a burger to Sodom. "Here you go Sodom. I got you a soda too, if you want it."

Luka smiles at him slightly and nods his head. "Alright I will.. Oh about those gloves if there any way to counter them?"

Sodom smiles and starts eating the burger. "Yummy! Thank you Eckzahn!"
