"Whoa there! WHOA THERE! it's a MINI-Van!" Kole said and adjusted his shades up further up his nose and cocked his hip, shooting finger guns at them. "And don't forget it." He made peew-peew noise as he pretended to shoot off his guns at them. He stood there as they busied about Riley's car, wondering if maybe he should go pick up that Ice cream he promised his daughter, considering he was RIGHT there in FRONT of the store, or at least a few jogs and a sprint. Ehhhhh nah. Kole thought. I didn't bring my wallet. NEVER bring your wallet when you are tracking down a psychopath. "Eyyy okay I'll...Follow you guys then." He said hesitantly, eying Amorite, still fully believing he is a Banana Lobbyist undercover. "I'm watching you." He mouthed, darting two fingers from his eyes and pointing them at Amorite before he slipped back in his car and blasted music."Lets get rolling, guys!" He revved the engine and brushed back his hair from his eyes. "I'll follow, NO PROBLEM. No problem at all. This baby can go 35 miles an hour. " He said with a lovely pat on her dash. "Don't you, don't you?" He purred to his beat up, marker marked van.

There was a long and awkward drive from the Bag em but Buy em to Riley's rather cruddy house. The area he lived in looked like it was forgotten, cracked roads, broken windows, his house was the only decent looking place on the block. At least on the outside it looked nice. He pulled the car into the garage and stepped out moving around back he opened his trunk and grabbed the dufflebag.
Inside of the house it looked like a bomb had gone off in half of the house,The other half Looked new.Burned walls and ground on one half, Brand new on the other half. There was two beds Side by side, one burned one brand new. The walls looked like they might of been orange at one point, there were some construction materials stacked in a corner.
He looked at Amorite and Kole "I'm in the middle of remodeling" He smirked then threw the dufflebag down next to the two beds. "Make your self's at home"

"I can see that..." Amorite said while examining the rather... unique house. Honestly it made him appreciate the small little apartment he had with Lee and Kree. Amorite stepped through the house and found a seat on one of the chairs, he set himself down carefully as if everything in this house was just looking for an excuse to fall to pieces.
"So... we're safe from the police now and I think it's time you give me some answers. A-Are... are you a Rebel?" He asked a little nervously. 'Rebel' was a dangerous word these days. In these parts Amorite had noticed you were either a Rebel, an Anarchist or someone trying to hunt the two. Amorite was generally fine with being around Anarchists (Kree was one) but the hunters were best avoided.

"A rebel? Nah" He stopped talking and walked to the windows to close the curtains, "Not yet anyway, These days it seems like you gotta chose a side sooner or later." He moves to a drawer and grabs some tape out of it, "Guess no matter how much tape I use this bats bound to break sooner or later" His hand starts moving in a blur, within seconds the bat is taped up.

"Is that a metaphor..?" Kole asked unsure as he stepped through the threshold of the house. "Because I kinda got a fear of bats." He admitted and then took a look around. Letting out a low whilst his eyes examined Riley's home. It couldn't have been in the most weirdest state. It was like art, only..You lived among..Which is kinda like art.. So it's like art. Kole decided and tapped a charcoal-ed wooden plank. "What, was your roommate a pyromaniac?" Kole raised a eyebrow at him before leaning up against the wall.
"Well anyway. I don't really care who OR WHAT was your room mate but my question IS." He paused, drawing their attention as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, like what was coming next would be very hard for him to say. "How are we going to fix the damage you have done? All.Those.Pickle.Jars." He looked so upset, turning his face away so they couldn't see his hurt. "They didn't deserve that!" He squeaked.

Riley looked at Kole with a sour face ,"No, a hitman blew-up my house. My roommate was fine, fine till of course she was blown to bits. But hey its okay that was the hitman's final mistake," Riley cocked his head and smiled not a happy smile, more of a sarcastic smile.
Riley put on a different face, almost like he had forgotten about what Kole had said "The pickles will be fine Kole,I gave the owner money. He can buy more, rest assured i am not a banana lobbyist." He walked to a closet and toke off his jacket and put his baseball bat in the closet. "Got anything else you wanna know?".

Any other day Amorite might question why Kole was so against the banana lobbyists. Amorite knew why HE was against them but he couldn't figure out why KOLE was against them... could he have been a fan of the pickle split!? A question to ask later, for sure.
Amorite glanced between the two men as he weighed everything that was going on. It didn't honestly matter to Amorite who these men were or what they did (unless of course they were after him) and he had to ask himself why exactly he was still here. He had an apartment to get back to, pickles to buy and things to do. Yet at the same time he was tremendously intrigued not only by these men but by the speed in which the Masked-Crusader went. He was fast and that wasn't a normal type of fast either, it was mana fueled.
"I don't really have any more questions I guess..." Amorite said with a shrug, "I just wonder... you know... why? Why stop those people in the store? What are you gaining from this...?" Maybe he did have some more questions. It wasn't everyday you met people like this and he wanted to know what made them do what they did. Certainly they were earning no money out of stopping a couple of store robbers.

This was a touchy subject for Riley, "Look at the bed," Riley gestured to the burned one at first it just looked burned,at a closer look there was a imprint of a burned corpse on in. "The hitman killed someone important to me that day" He paused for a second, "She was from the Skotadi Tribe, Had powers just like you." He moved to the kitchen grabed a vial of pills, Taking the final pill and throwing the vial in the trashcan
"What i get is the satisfaction of killing everyone involved in the assassination, including the boss of the mob " he sighed, "Kole's got nothing to gain from it, he contracts me to carry packages from one side of the town to the other, packages that people don't want the government looking through,"

"Yup! Nothing! Nothing at all. Nope. Zip. Zero. ---What..Wait?" Kole fumbled , looking at Riley with big guys. He had never known this fact about the man. In fact, there was very little Kole actually DID know of Riley. It's how Kole works. You don't get personal with the people you work with, it never ends well. His eyes fell to the bed before gazing at the ground. "I'm very..Sorry." He spoke in a low whisper, knowing the pains of loosing those you care for.
"The real question is..." Kole started looking up at Amortie. "Who are you,and why aren't you freaking out about this? You must be someone special, considering you haven't bolted for the door and aimed to call the police."

This city was a dark place that seemed to always be able to consume those you were close to. There weren't many people Amorite knew that hadn't lost someone close to them. Each one a tragic lost that Amorite couldn't help but feel bad for and Riley was no different. The mere fact the man kept the bed his sister burned alive in was enough to know the man's anguish over it.
"I'm sorry to hear that, truly. But killing people doesn't make it better." Amorite muttered out. He was a man that no matter how hard he tried could not bring himself to kill anyone. Even the Thelotian soldiers, Amorite found it difficult to want to take anyone's life. "It really only makes it worse..." he didn't think he could convince Riley to see the truth but honestly he didn't care. He worked around people who have killed many others, it was part of the job description really. The path to freedom was a mile long paper with the initials of everyone who died signed in blood.
Glancing over at Kole, Amorite simply gave a shrug as the lumbering giant stood from his chair. "I dunno. I've seen enough death not to be afraid of this stuff, you know? I'm... a Rebel and I've seen a lot..."

Riley pulled a chair out, he wasn't interested in explaining why he killed more then he already did. For Riley killing came easy, The only times he couldn't kill is if someone was innocent, He'd never had trouble with over-the-top violence against mobsters.
He began to change the subject, "Rebels huh, Ive been considering joining them recently, put in a good word for me." He paused for a second, Realizing he didn't even tell Amorite his name "Ah, Wheres my manners. My names Riley"

The Rebels were a large group and they were always in need of more soldiers for their cause. Riley wouldn't have any trouble joining the Rebels and finding a place in it. They had a lot of kids who had never seen battle before and desperately needed people not afraid... to kill. "You have?" It really shouldn't have come to a surprise for Amorite that Riley wanted to join the rebellion, the man had powers and in this city you either had to fight or hide. Riley didn't seem like the type of person to hide.
"It's... it's a hard life for sure. But we're fighting for something important here." The cause was righteous, that he couldn't doubt, "Nice to meet you Riley... and you too, Kole. I'll tell you what; I never expected this night to go this way... I was just supposed to pick up some pickles!"

"I have to agree with ol' beanie Giant here. Killing is never the answer." Kole nodded solemnly. His eyes fell on Amorite with a quiet, studious look. "A rebel, you say?" He muttered, frowning. "Giant..Beanie wearing..Rebel.." Kole looked at Amorite with sparkling eyes as the realization dawned on him.
"HOLY ALL EIGHT GODS. Are you Lee's Kid Brother?" Kole Laughed and slapped his knee, the rebel talking going completely unheard. "You must be.HA!" he flicked Amorite's jacket with his hand and gave him a whooping slam on the shoulder. "Gods. He did say you were tall but hey I would have been lead to believe you were some kind of Elf-hybrid! THE HEIGHT! And gosh, do you ever not wear that hat? Geez, Lee's description stayed true even now. WHO WOULD HAVE THAT. HA." Kole clung to his belly laughing before he came to Riley and poked him in the ribs. "Last I heard he was with some BEAUTIFUL chick name Sara! I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? WHOO. What a PLAYER!" Kole laughed and wiped his eyes. "Ahh. I knew you I knew you. I just knew it!"

Wait what? Amorite questioned as Kole named his brother. He had always thought there were only two categories in Lee's social sphere; people he can tolerate and everyone else who needs to just fall down and die. Why would Lee talk about him to anyone in those categories. Either way, Kole's information was very old... Amorite hadn't even thought of Sara since Lee and Amorite left To Chameno for Thelotia. Why would he? He had Kree and she was a million times better than anyone he had ever been with.
"Uh, yeah! Lee's my brother..." Amorite scratched his head with a light smile growing on his face as he imagined Lee having FRIENDS. "Oh gods, Sara. Yeaaaah I was a bit of a player back in To Chameno for sure... but I'm kinda in a relationship right now! No, not with Sara. And I like my beanie... I went a couple of months without it once and it was truly a painful experience." For many reasons of course, knives, water and extremely hot objects being part of that horrible experience. Along with the prison brand permanently placed on my side.
"So... how exactly do you know Lee? I mean it's not everyday I meet one of Lee's... friends?"

"Yeah, I know." He winked and clicked his tongue, sighing with satisfaction at his own brilliance. "Oh? Good for you! Not often you find a true keeper, eh Lad?" Kole said, nudging Riley in the ribs again. Kole shook his head and signed, his neon red locks--freshly dyed-- fell over his eyes as he bent to rest his chin against his chest, admiring his shoes. "Such a sad thing,that is." Kole replied, wondering if Amorite wore it because he had no hair or was balding.. Either way, it would be understandable why he would wear it so much.
Kole barked a laugh and shook his head at Riley with a 'Can you believe this guy?' Look. "I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm his 'Friend'. But we get along..Alright. And, Amorite. I know Everybody." Kole said with complete assurance and confidence on his part. He may not have any powers, no mana to bend to his whim, but his tracking skills could easily have be a power on their own. "Now that we've all established our identities. Would you and Mr. BloodyBat over here like to come over to my place for Dinner? My daughter is waiting on me and I hate to disappoint the princess! She gets quite furious with me when I'm late! Makes me make her HER DINNER FOR GOODNESS SAKE!" Kole sighed like it was the world's worst job ever.
Kole did really have to get back, he sort of promised his Uncle only an hour...And while his tracking skills on people may be fantastic..His driving less so.
