If they had finished the job, he would have died. Slickers never finish the job though, not when their boss isn't around. He could hear them talking, even as the weight on his chest got heavier and heavier with each fresh pile of dirt.

"Why would anyone live out here?" one asked.

"Jesus, Rick, I don't fucking know man, will you just..." the other replied.

Another clod was added to the growing mound crushing his lungs, snuffing out what little life was left in him.

"Yeah." A pause. "I mean but, why? Why live away from the Free States or the Eastern Sprawl or - fuck, man, anywhere but out here. There isn't anything around, these hicks lived like fucking mongoloids."

"I know. Fuck this is taking forever."

"Why are we even burying him?"

"Boss said bury him, so..."

"Yeah but he ain't here, and he left two of us to dig four graves. The kids wont take long, but this guy and the woman-"

"Well fuck, Rick, what do you wanna do just leave them for the animals?"

There was another long pause, and though the piling of dirt had ceased, the weight seemed to grow on his lungs.

"If boss finds out he's gonna be pissed."

"Man, fuck him. We come out here and straight body an entire family and then he wants to get a heart? Fuck right off. Let's just get back to Midnight City, its gonna take us hours to drive back without burying these assholes."

"Alright. Fine. Looks like its gonna rain anyway."

One of them tossed a shovel at man they were burying, and if the Slickers were paying any attention, they'd see a gush of fresh blood telling them the man was still alive. Barely, but alive all the same. 

But Slickers never finish the job, not when their boss isn't around. They were already walking back to their car. They left William Stark half buried in a shallow grave, his face bloodied and pulped, body bruised and broken, leaking blood from a gutshot. Stark heard the car start and take off away from his ranch - not the loud and growling rumble of a stateless lands car, but the high pitched whine of a city slicker's ride. When it faded away, he was left with the sounds of nightfall broken by the rumble of thunder.

The rain was what finally woke him, summer evening rain like God's own sweet mercy. His real eye was so swollen that he could barely see out of it, but the old cybernetic one  - outdated and crude - clicked and whirred and sent the images of the world to his brain. They had buried him up to his chest, leaving only his head and neck, and his left arm uncovered. He tried first to sit up, but was too weak to move. Panic gripped him, and he tried to thrash against the weight of the earth. 

The shallow grave kept him in its embrace.

He closed his eyes again, and for a moment, was closer to death than he had been when the Slickers were throwing dirt on his broken body. He though of his wife lying dead on the kitchen floor, the pool of blood under her head growing by the second. The fire swallowing the house, the children screaming. Stark had lost everything in just twenty short minutes.

But he hadn't lost it. It had been taken from him.

His eyes opened again. His right arm had been badly damaged, the fine motor control in the cybernetic appendage gone, the skilled hand that had won countless gunfights smashed and useless. But he could still move the arm itself, and the mechanical power was enough to drive the fresh dirt away. Slowly, clumsily, Stark pushed his earthen shackles away, his lungs pumping and burning as the rain turned from a fresh evening whisper to a roar in the night.

He grunted and growled and pulled himself from the grave, his body wracked with pain. Stark hauled himself to his knees, and in front of him were their bodies. Libby and the kids, piled unceremoniously in a heap. Beyond them, the smoldering remains of their home. He put his hands in front of his face and screamed a wordless howl, then another, until all he could do was scream in the driving thunderstorm that had overtaken the land.

When his throat was lined with needles and he couldn't scream anymore, only breathe a soundless husking sigh, he found his way to his feet. Stark picked up the shovel that had been thrown at him as the Slickers had turned to leave, and in the rainstorm, started to dig.

It took him four hours and he collapsed at least a dozen times. Every time he thought he might just lay down and die next to his family, he saw Armitage smiling and lifting the peacemaker - Stark's peacemaker - and blowing a hole in Libby's head. Before his eyes were open, Stark was up and digging again.

When it was done, he stood over the three rock covered graves, leaning on the shovel. He wanted to say something, but his throat wouldn't allow it.

It was a five mile walk into town, and William Stark was half dead, wearing only his jeans and a tattered shirt - the bastards had even stripped him of his boots after shooting him. He started plodding forward, looking ahead as lightning flashed above, driven by the most pure and powerful fire that can burn in a man's belly: vengeance.

Jace Deckard: He's been patrolling the docks nearly every night since he saw the news. Kali hasn't been able to catch a lead and he's run up against nothing but dead ends. Whoever was harvesting body parts has been keeping a low profile. In the meantime, there's no shortage of thugs to deal with and the docks are a central hub of illegal activity. He's just sank a shipment of drugs into dirty waters and vaulted off the schooner that had brought them in when he pauses, sure that someone is watching.

Gaku Kikuchi: Very little peaks the young Kikuchi’s interest, but the word of harvested bodies didn’t miss his ears. Admittedly, Intimidating people only gets him so far; enough that it brings him to the docks that night in search of the one with the bow. He makes sure to press himself close enough to the shadows, dark fabric concealing a good bit of his figure. The most notable part of his attire is the kitsune mask adorning his face. He crosses over the top of a few shipment containers, steps light.


Jace Deckard: Jace glances around but nothing immediately sticks out. Still, he feels eyes on him. He slips into the shadows, moving like a ghost along the edge of a shipping container. He stops and darts left, pressing to the edge, waiting to see if any shadow moves.

Mani Rose: The news of butchered cyborgs piques the interest of Mani. He approaches the docks in search of information from the dock workers. Maintaining his composure Mani questions the dock workers regarding the recent events. The dock workers, taken off guard by the immediate questioning, struggle to answer his questions. "The man with the bow, he's been lurking around looking for answers.. He may know more." Mani heads further into the docks in search of the man, looking to get more answers.


Gaku Kikuchi: He takes a few more steps, easing into a crouch upon catching the silhouette he has been eyeing. With little intention of immediately picking a fight, Gaku peels off to a side to find his way around Jace. Eventually the youngest Kikuchi drops down just about a few feet from the other man. "You've been here for some time." He speaks up, watching him closely. "What interest do you have here?"

Jace Deckard: A body suddenly dropping into his path doesn't put Jace in the mood for a friendly chat. He jerks back and reaches down for his bow, holstered at his thigh. His hand closes around the collapsed metal and yanks, pulling it free. He's prepared to snap his wrist and extend the bow, his free hand moving to draw an arrow from the quiver at his back.

Mani Rose: Hearing clanking coming from the distance, Mani decides to head towards the noise. Unsure of whats to come, he sets a defensive posture to protect himself in the event of a possible attack. His body tenses up as he heads towards the origin of the noise.

Gaku Kikuchi: Even from beneath the mask, Gaku catches the movement of joints and the unsheathing of the bow; yet there's no response from Jace. "No words?" Gaku jeers, fingers closing in on the pouch with knives at his waist. He draws two, sends them forward in Jace's direction. "I merely wanted to talk, but it seems like you have little interest in that." He presses forward, dropping low for a moment.


Jace Deckard: In the dark, the knives are hard to see. He catches the hand motion, though, and flips. One of the knives lances across his side, slashing deep enough to draw blood but not enough to seriously wound him. When he lands in a half crouch, his bow is fully drawn and he fires an arrow at the masked man.  "Talking doesn't generally involve an ambush." He moves, trying to keep some distance between himself and the masked assailant.

Mani Rose: Mani hears more noise coming from around the next bend, he closes the gap and turns the corner to see two men engaged in combat. In an attempt to stall the fighting Mani calmly states "Gentlemen hold fire, I would like to ask a few questions to the bowed man." He remains defensive to the drawn weapons as he awaits their response.

Gaku Kikuchi: An arrow cuts the air in his direction, and Gaku draws up his left arm in defense; the tip slices the sleeve of his coat and denting the metal beneath. "You were planning to draw your weapon first!" the man shoots back, jumping a few feet back in case more arrows came his way. "You-" His words fall short, having someone else cut in. Gaku tilts his head, raising an eyebrow towards the new figure. He makes no further motion to attack, but remains just as defensive. "He's not the talkative type...." Gaku scoffs.

Jace Deckard:  "After you literally dropped in!" He retorts and has another arrow nocked and ready but a new voice cuts in. He spins partially to keep them both in his line of sight. Jace rolls his eyes at the cat-man and takes another step back.  "Talk fast. Both of you."

Mani Rose: Glancing at both figures Mani wonders what he stumbled into. "I've heard of the murdered cyborgs that have been appearing near these docks, and let's say... I have a vested interest in my kind." He turns his head towards the man with the bow, "You there... with your bow drawn. I've been informed that you have been spending some time around this area, have you heard anything of interest?" Awaiting the response Mani turns his attention towards the other figure, making sure no move is made.

Gaku Kikuchi: The cyborg huffs a sigh, exhaling it as if it took every muscle in his body; "I'm not the only one walking the shadows here. You're just as suspicious, you've been wandering the docks for nights now." Gaku adds in, taking the split second that Jace spins to turn a little more towards Mani, to slip forward in one motion and wrap his hand around the bow to stop the other man from firing arrows. "We are obviously all in search of the same thing here."

Jace Deckard: Jace draws the same conclusion as cat-man. He turns just his head to the masked man and narrows cobalt blue eyes.  "Hands off the merchandise." He looses his grip on the arrows and jerks the bow free of the man's grasp before putting the arrows back in his quiver. He collapses the bow with one sharp jerk of his wrist.  "It isn't just cyborgs. It's whoever they can snag for spare parts. And I don't know much."

Mani Rose: Pulling his body back from the defensive stance, Mani starts to relax as the quarrel has devolved into an exchange of words. "Well, I have no interest in what humans were being taken. More cyborgs continue to go missing and I intend to stop this." Curious as to why the other guy is here, Mani begins trying to pull some insight from him as well. "You said about you not being the only one walking here. What has you so interested in this? And have you found anything he hasn't?" Mani questions Gaku.

Gaku Kikuchi: He draws his hand back to his side once Jace has dismissed the bow in hand. Gaku settles back, leaning against the exterior of a container and far less invested in a fight with this man. His head it turned back towards Mani, taking quick notice that his sole interest was in those that were more machine than man. "Human or machine, they are still lives." Gaku offers, being a less tense that before. His hand reaches up to slip off the mask, revealing the scars beneath hardened brown eyes. "I've gained little information in my time here."

Jace Deckard: Jace puts a hand discreetly to his side. His fingers come back red. He quickly closes said fingers and crosses his arms over his chest. His lips press into a frown as he regards them both.  "Cat-man's right. A life is a life." He pauses, trying to gauge how much he trusts these two. Finally, he throws them both a bone.  "Look, I'm ninety percent sure some junkyard doctor is at least part behind this. I think he hired the soldiers that were found dead. Just a hunch, but pretty sure he murdered them when his operation went sideways."

Mani Rose: "Well, If I happen to save a few humans in the process then so be it." Mani responds. He glances around the room, as he relaxes his body. "Look, I don't expect help, but I wouldn't mind being pointed in the right direction."

Gaku Kikuchi: Gaku mulls over his findings, taking in what Jace had to offer. "We know fairly little. Someone has an interest in organs, but we don't particularly know why. I'm sure this isn't the first time this junkyard doctor has stolen, or made an attempt at stealing body parts." He added in, pushing himself off the wall of the crate. "You're injured." The comment came from the blue, but Gaku had picked up on Jace's stance that the knife from earlier must have nicked him.

Jace Deckard:  "Honestly, it's probably just for the cash. Parts can fetch a pretty penny to the right people. People around here don't need much more of a reason." Jace shrugs without dislodging his arms from where they're crossed over his chest. His gaze cuts to the right and levels on Gaku. With little more than a flex to his jawline, he ignores the man's observation of his physical condition.  "You want to get ahead of this, go question some dealers, see who's been selling dubiously acquired organs."

Mani Rose: Mani apprehensively looks back at both men. "Well, admittedly I have no strong information to go off of. So I'll take the help if you'll have me."

Gaku Kikuchi: "Suppose you're right. People around here will do anything for money." Gaku gives a shake of his head; curiously he glances back over towards Mani, "I've gained very little on my own. I wouldn't mind the assistance either." He wasn't sure what teaming up with these two would lead to, but it couldn't hurt.

Jace Deckard: Jace looks between the two, both seemingly ready to go all Three Musketeers on this. He shakes his head, cobalt blue hues going temporarily wide.  "I think I'll pass on the whole team spirit thing." He pushes away from the crates that he'd been leaning against.  "Pretty sure you two got it from here." He doesn't wait around for a proper goodbye and instead gives them a two fingered salute before disappearing around the corner of some freight.

Mani Rose: Trying to maintain a personal wall Mani bids farewell for the time being. "Well, this could get interesting."

Gaku Kikuchi: Gaku opts to let out a sigh, "Stubborn, that one." He scoffs only moments later, his shoulders rolling into a shrug. The kitsune mask settles onto his features once more, waving a hand as a goodbye. "There's too much ground to cover in this city, for a single person. The more the better really." Eventually the man bids his own farewell, making his way back into the shadows.
