It took the one in the lead a bit of courage before he could approach me.
Hello!
“Yes?” I asked, when he didn’t speak.
“We were remembering how some girl was saying you were recruiting, the other day.”
Nice, looks like we’ve got more people who want to join after what just happened.
“I was and I am.” My heart was pounding. Why was this happening now, when it had met with only resistance earlier?
I mean, Sierra basically spelled it out just about a dozen paragraphs ago.
“Don’t want to do anything illegal.”
“Not asking you to. You okay with starting with some clean-up?”
That’s reasonable. Not all her employees are going to be okay with the more legally dubious parts.
He looked at his buddies -or were they brothers?- and nodded.
“Sierra here will tell you what needs to be done. Put in a good effort and I’ll pay you at the end of the day.” My thoughts were on the small safe that I was using as a bedside table.
The swarm is expanding rapidly now!
His eyes widened slightly at that. “Mind if I go and get my cousin? He’ll be interested too.”
Oh wow, it seems like he didn’t realize he’d get paid. I suppose she didn’t say anything explicitly about monetary payment back at the announcement of her takeover.
“Go.” I ordered, and Sierra led two of them inside while the leader of the newest group ran off at a half-jog.
Excellent.
