Jodo Kast had been in hyperspace for over a week waiting for his arrival at
the Porkan system. Now he was being held up by the authorities who were
checking his BHG membership. They had to be sure of his identity because of
all the illegal weaponry he was carrying. Jodo just wanted to find a place to
stay that was quiet unlike the ship he had come here on. It had been billed
as a passenger yacht but it was nothing more then a glorified garbage scow.
He had wanted to kill the droid that kept asking him if he needed anything
but had refrained because the security on the ship was very tight. The owner
must have been a tightfisted guy who didn't want to lose any of his
investments. Well he was off the ship and if the authorities would hurry up
he could find somewhere to stay before night set in.
"Mr. Kast?" said the customs officer tentatively.
"Yes." replied Kast, his voice cold with no emotion.
"Your ID checks out. You are cleared to pass. Good luck and enjoy your
stay,"
said the man, his voice quivering, now backing away obviously wanting to get
away from Kast.
"I am sure I will," replied Jodo as he passed the customs officer.
Jerk he
thought as he left the docking bay.
Jodo knew where he could find a place to stay. He had been on Prokan II a
long time ago but he was guessing the city's layout hadn't changed much. He
walked down a side street and came to boarding house that he was hoping was
there. He walked in and rented a room for a week. He walked up to his room,
checked for bugs and retired for the night.
He woke up the next day refreshed and ready for anything. He reviewed the
mission over in his head several times. The man he was after, Karda Porce,
had worked for the Hutts until he stole 23,456 credits from them and took
off. The Hutts had offered 50,000 credits for his murder or capture. He was
rumored to have fled to Imperial Space but Jodo knew these types of people
especially men who stole from Hutts. The last job he had done for the Hutts
had been very similar and the man had hidden on Prokan II. Kast was taking a
gamble and he knew it would pay off.
Jodo picked up his weapons, and left the boarding house. He left strict
instructions that no one could enter his room. The clerk said that he would
make sure. Jodo left a little surprise for anyone who might get by the clerk.
Jodo was walking down the street to a nearby bar for an early morning drink
and breakfast. He entered the bar and looked around quickly. He was one of
the first patrons. He ordered a drink and some breakfast.
After breakfast he sat in his booth waiting for his contact that he had
called yesterday. He only had to wait a few minutes. As he watched the
doorway a small rat-like creature entered. The rat walked over to his table
and sat down across from him.
"Get my friend a drink," said Jodo.
"Thanks a lot Kast," said the creature.
"Lonig how ya been?"
"Great, Kast, just bloody great! My leg still hasn't healed fully."
"Hey, it wasn't my fault."
"Ok, ok, I'll forget about it. You're after Karda Porce aren't you?"
"Maybe, what ya got?" Replied Jodo.
"I got something but we need to negotiate," Lonig replied.
"Negotiate what?"
"Come on Kast don't play dumb. A price."
"5,500 credits," said Kast with a hint of finality in his tone.
"6,500."
"No way," retorted Jodo. "5,750! That's my final offer!"
"OK, OK give me the money."
Jodo fished out the credits and gave them to Lonig. He greedily counted them
and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Alright Kast, you know that government building up on West 43rd?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well, the Porkan government is very interested in what Mr. Porce knows
about
the Hutts. You'll find him there. Thanks for the money Kast, I'll remember
it," said Lonig as he got up from the table.
"Take it easy Lonig," replied Jodo.
Jodo watched Lonig leave the bar. After he left Kast stood up, left 25
credits, and walked out. The bartender nodded at the recently vacated table
and a waitress went and cleaned it off.
Jodo Kast entered the street and decided to tour the town before he went over
to West 43rd and got Mr. Porce. He wandered around the city for about half
the day, shopping a little, eating lunch, and shopping a little more. He
picked up a few new gadgets and gizmos. Jodo looked at his chronometer and
figured it was time to go get Porce.
Jodo Kast walked down West Street looking out for any guards. When no city
guards were in sight he entered the government building. He had two blaster
rifles strapped to his back, a bandoleer of grenades across his chest and two
blaster pistols in quick-draw hostlers. He had 25 blaster packs in his pouch
for reloading. He drew his blaster rifle as he went through the door.
As he went through the door the guard asked him what his business was here.
He whipped around and blasted the guard with his silenced blaster. The man
collapsed to the floor. Jodo stepped over his dead body and walked down the
hallway. He quickly checked the man for any keys, data pads, or anything that
may help him past a door. Nothing.
Kast walked down the hallway until his way was blocked by a couple of crates.
As he moved around them two guards saw him and began firing at him. He dove
behind the crates firing as he fell. His bolts cut one of the guards down.
The other, however, kept up a heavy stream of fire. As Kast peeked his head
over the crate he saw another guard running down the hall. Kast drew his
other blaster rifle and stood up, spraying the hallway down with blaster
fire. Both guards were hit numerous times and both collapsed to the ground.
Kast stood up and inspected the three guards' bodies. He took their blaster
packs and put them in his pouch. He checked his bandoleer to make sure no
grenades had fallen off. None had. He put checked the charges on his blaster
rifles. No problems there either. Kast moved on.
Kast continued down the hallway for about 15 feet when he saw a door on the
left about 8 feet in front of him. He tiptoed up to the door and put his head
on it. He could hear voices inside. He was listening very hard but he could
not hear exactly what they were saying. He kicked the door down and saw Porce
sitting in a chair with a guard pointing a gun at his head. Jodo shot the
guard in between the eyes with his blaster rifles and spun around spraying
the other guard with blaster fire. He toppled to the ground. The only other
man in the room, besides Porce and Jodo, was a mean looking character with a
scar across his cheek.
"Who are you?" asked the man suspiciously.
"No one."
"What do you want?"
"I want Porce."
"Well, you can't have him."
"I guess that I'll just take him," replied Jodo Kast and with that he
shot
the man in the throat. The man hit his comlink as he collapsed to the ground.
Blast thought Jodo as he untied Porce.
"What do you want," said Porce.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm getting you out of here,"
replied
Jodo in a cool calm voice despite the dangerous situation.
Jodo finished untying Porce and he told him to follow him. Kast walked out
the door and came face to face with a guard. Before the guard could do
anything Jodo grabbed his head and smashed it into the wall. Kast pushed
Porce in front of him and told him to run for the door. Jodo turned on his
video recorder and as Porce was running for the door Jodo threw a grenade. It
bounced once and exploded sending Porce forward through one of the crates.
Kast walked up to his body still with the recorder on and shot him in the
head twice with his blaster rifle. The Hutts will like this one, thought Kast.
Kast was about to leave when he remembered the money that Porce had stolen.
He turned off the recorder and checked Porce's pockets. He found 15,000
credits, which he took for himself as a nice little profit as the Hutts would
probably screw him over on the reward.
Jodo Kast walked out the door purposefully and as he did he sent two mines at
the entrance. When he was safely out of range he blew the building up.
Then
he disappeared silently and mysteriously into a dark alley……….
