Might as well, it is early.

As you arrive at the arena you see apparently the chaos of whatever event is slated for tonight starts long before you get inside. Outside there seem to be several performers getting ready to set up for the evening. These catch your interest briefly as you head for the main building, and you notice the acts seem to be quite varied, ranging from the mild, scantly clad women with various batons and other props getting ready, to the truly bizarre, one troupe consisting of 3 men with large hoops piercing their bodies in front and back barking orders to what you imagine are their assistants setting up some sort of scaffolding or similar structure. From within you can hear more shouting and power tools setting up god knows what. As you enter the massive arena you see one area looks like a massive cage, another a huge metal sphere, and along side are several stages for musicians you would guess. You head past all of this, somehow aware of where you need to go, deep within the structure.

Finally after you pass the cage area, easily a 15 minute walk from the main doors, you reach a more expensive looking area. As you approach you a pair of well dressed muscular men, obviously guards, and hold out your hands a bit to the sides to let them know you aren?t about to start anything.

?I am sorry miss, this is a private area.? The one on the right states as you approach.

?The wizard is expecting me, I was sent by Lynx. My name is Vixen.?

His brief silence after you speak tells you he is relaying the information to someone inside, then suddenly both of them draw massive pistols from within their jackets and point them at your head before he finally speaks, ?I am told Lynx is dead, yet someone recently claimed his last payoff. I think you had better throw down all weapons you are carrying and tell me why you are really here.?

?Shit, you don?t understand. Yeah I see how it looks. I work for Max. He didn?t want to loose his cut from the Wizard he gets from supplying him an operative for his job. All you need to do is call Max, he will vouch for me.?

That apparently sounds reasonable to whoever is listening as after several minutes of silence he holsters his weapon and speaks, ?Go in and give all your weapons to the woman inside the door, he will see you.?

?Certainly.? You say as you walk between them and enter the door as it opens. Inside you are greeted by a flawless Asian woman, built like a model, with a slender sword on her back. She looks rather weak but your gut tells you she is wired at least as much as you if not more.

She says nothing, but holds out her hands expectantly. You hand over your sword and gun, figuring if they want you dead they won?t make much difference anyway, and walk in.

?So Lynx is dead is he?? You see the man speaking is a smallish but powerful looking man buisy filling a glass with ice at a small wet bar. He begins pouring what you assume is whiskey over it before continuing, ?It is sad that some times the best identities must wither on the vine and die to maintain a job such as yours.? He motions for you to grab a glass yourself before sitting on a large throne like chair behind an equally large wooden desk. To your right you see two identical black women wearing only a matching bronze colored bikini, and tall heeled shoes, lounging on a massive white leather couch. He points at the two girls and adds, ?Max sent you to a good doc, but if you wish as payment for this job you could use mine, she is much better at creating a vision of beauty I think. I mean no disrespect, but your new face is not that dissimilar from your old one. You may find Vixen will find a similar fate if you are not careful.?

?I may consider that, but I may also find a way to resurrect Lynx as well. But enough of this, what exactly is this follow up job??

?Still in a perpetual hurry I see. Do not forget to take a few moments of pleasure, or this will become as tedious as any job I fear.? He takes a drink and picks up a yellow envelope and tosses it to you. ?Inside you will find all the information we have on a former employee of ours that originally stole the prototype Lynx? recently returned to us. Normally we wouldn?t bother to dwell on such details but as of yet we have been unable to determine how the thief was able to gain access so easily. Find them and bring them to me alive here and the $100,000 is yours.?

?Consider it done.? You turn as he takes another drink, and walk out.

The woman at the door gives you back your stuff and points at a small door. ?You may use this room as long as you like before you go.?

You walk in and open the file. Inside you find photos and data chips. You slot the chips and bring up the file. Inside is the address, drivers license, car, and all other info on a young woman by the name of Misty Swan. You study the info and find several good starting points.

Check out her place.

Her friends are said to hang out at a club called ?Inferno? that should be open this early.

Her car is still parked at a huge apartment building downtown, she may even be there.

Or start calling in your contacts and dropping her name.
