Territory Nouveau 15: Back to the Vehement
Manage episode 263406318 series 2435732
The crew save for Chief O’Donnell and Doctor Peryton had offloaded from the Vehement for shore leave on the Freeholds. With Bete, Otto, and Scarlett gone as well, Ambrose was finally beginning to enjoy his time alone.
He had just capped off a long 18-hour nap when the airlock comms buzzed his quarters.
“Houndstooth and Casperov: Finders, Keepers” gold print emblazoned across a business card, vague enough to be enticing but direct enough to tell Ambrose the kind of thing these two were sniffing around the Vehement for.
The hand holding the card belonged to a questionably fashionable man in a fur coat and stetson. Next to him a stern-faced woman with tattoos Ambrose couldn’t place stood arms crossed, staring directly into the camera. Almost past it, as if she was looking right at him.
The ersatz cowboy cleared his throat and spun up a quick compliment before launching into his pitch: He and his associate were on Charon working a case. Freelance, big client. Armed and dangerous runaway on the loose, last known whereabouts pointed to the Freeholds. They just wanted to ask Ambrose a few questions. In person, they wouldn’t budge on that. Wouldn’t be proper detective work, Houndstooth said.
Ambrose had dealt with all manner of skip tracers, bounty hunters, and private eye types before and yet there was something...off about these two. Eventually his curiosity got the better of him.

In today’s episode, the Freelancers return to the safe haven of the Charon Freeholds with rest and recovery on the agenda. Leaving the situation on the Jackknife to the authorities on Charon, the Freelancers return to the Vehement to find the crew away on leave. We set some rumors straight, check in with our friends, and try to say goodbye.
