A Different Kind Of Service

[Lucius Umbrend]

Lucius sat at the bar, downing his fourth glass of liquor. It was only a few days ago that he had landed on Coruscant, in search of someone with a particular skill set. Of course, As far as he knew, what Lucius needed wasn’t exactly a normal request. He was told that the man he was looking for would be in orange mandalorian armor. Lucius scanned the room again and still saw no sign of the man he needed. He down the glass and ordered another. Back on Hoth, Lucius had not been much a drinker, but here he felt inclined to, not out of fear, but conformity.
Is he late or am I early…
Great now I’m talking to myself
Lucius downed the glass again and signaled for another as he did another scan around the room. To his surprise, the man was in the doorway. He hadn’t noticed Lucius yet, and was looking around. Lucius signaled him over and finished the last glass of liquor that the bartender set down. As the man approached, Lucius stood and extended his hand “You must be Mr. Hadshill, I’m Lucius Umbrend, I hope I called upon the right man.

[Brax Hadshill]

That's my contact?
Brax thought to himself as he approached the man sitting at the bar.
Doesn't even look like he's ever hired a bounty hunter before.
"I'm the right man if you're paying the right price. What's the job?"
He leaned against the bar and waited for [member="Lucius Umbrend"] to respond.

Lucius sat back down and ordered two drinks. His tab was already a little high causing the bartender to grumble under his breath. The man was about the same height as Lucius himself, and probably around the same weight range. The bartender sat the drinks down and Lucius drank before he spoke.
"I need you to bring me someone. though they cant be harmed what so ever. This is strictly find them, put them on a ship and bring them to me. I would do it myself but i figure why do that when their is a profession based around finding people around the galaxy."
The alcohol was starting to set in and Lucius could feel it coming. He had about half an hour before he lost all intelligence.
"Are you someone who can get this done [member="Brax Hadshill"] ?"

 

[Brax Hadshill]

"I don't know, I'm generally more of a 'Blow their brains out and deliver the corpse to the now-widow' kind of guy."
He states to the tipsy [member="Lucius Umbrend"]
"Non-lethal takes time, and resources. Time is money, and resources cost money."
Brax takes a moment to let his point sink in.
"You want them alive? That costs extra. How much extra depends on the target. Who, and what, am I dealing with here?"

 

[Lucius Umbrend]

"I can cover any extra fees and pay extra for any resources you may need. The target is Madalyn Salvari, shes a ex-diplomat of the republic. Last i heard she was somewhere in the Omega Protectorate territory, I'd start there. It shouldn't be much of a fight unless she hired some guards. You need to bring her back to me at Csilla, unscathed. If you bring her back damaged the entire operation will be ruined and ill deduct it out of your pay."
Lucius took another drink and let all the information settle.
"Do this right, ill give you a flat 50,000 credits. If you bring her back hurt or broken, it gets cut in half. "

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

"Csilla? That's really out of the way."
Brax takes a moment to think.
"75,000 flat. I'll let you drop to 60,000 if services are unsatisfactory."
This is some kind of coup, it has to be. Big money is involved in this.
"And 20,000 of that you're going to pay up front."
[member="Lucius Umbrend"]

 

[Lucius Umbrend]

"Csilla is fine considering how much we're talking here."
The alcohol was passing, or maybe he was so drunk he felt fine, he couldn't really tell.
"Ill give you 10,000 up front and 50,000 when you bring her to me."
He paused for a moment to think of a fair deal.
"Ill give you an extra 5,000 if you get her to me in 5 days."

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

"You'll give 70,00 for finishing the job, and 10,000 up front."
Brax stands up.
"And you'll be happy when I get her to you alive, if I don't find someone who values her company more than you do."
[member="Lucius Umbrend"]

 

[Lucius Umbrend]

"You drive a hard bargain, under other circumstances I wouldn't have even reached out to you."
Lucius stands up, meeting Brax eye to eye
"10,00 now, 60,000 when you deliver her to me at Csilla, unharmed. If she is hurt I will cut your pay equal to the damage you cause."
Lucius extends his hand for a shake
"If these terms aren't acceptable, then I'm afraid we cant have a deal at all Mr. Hadshill."

[member="Brax Hadshill"]

 

[Brax Hadshill]

Brax eyes the man from behind his helmet.
"Deal." Brax extends his arm and shakes [member="Lucius Umbrend"] 's hand.
Brax turns and leaves the bar.
An ex-diplomat could fetch a price higher than 70,000 if bargained right. This deal goes sour, I just fry the contractor's brain and bail with the VIP.
Brax chuckled as he headed towards his ship.
Easy credits.

 

[Lucius Umbrend]

Lucius sat back at the bar and smirked
If the bounty came through, [member="Brax Hadshill"] would leave a wealthy man
If he failed,he'd be dead and Lucius would save 60,000 credits.
Lucius sat for a moment and headed to the spaceport where his ship was waiting. He boarded and left Coruscant, heading back to his home planet of Csilla.
