Chapter 21
âYou might want to put those hands up,â said the voice I assumed belonged to Greb.
Being an amicable guy I stood and slowly raised my arms up so my hands were even with my head. While I waited I took in the situation. Greb was taller than me by a couple feet and looked like an orc wearing clothes from back to the future two. Behind him the guys with guns were an assortment of skin colors and textures, including one fellow with bone spikes sticking out of his arms and shoulders. In front of Greb was a wiry guy with a pair of shorts on and a torn tank top. His skin was green and blue scales and his eyes shown with an inner green light. I assumed he was Tevor.
âGood,â Greb said. My assessment had only taken a second so the delay between me raising my hands and him talking was just a few seconds. âNow why donât you tell me why the fuck you think itâs okay to butt into our business, Peck?â
âPeck?â I asked.
âItâs a derogatory term,â Tevor said which earned him a kick from Greb.
âAnswer or I will have my boys open fire on your sorry ass,â Greb said.
âSince you put it that way,â I said. âI was out for a stroll when I happened upon you fine gentlemen. Thatâs all.â
âUh huh,â Greb nodded but his tone of voice had me thinking he didnât believe me.
âWalking is good for you?â I added.
âAnd you always walk around in battle armor?â Greb asked.
I looked down and realized that I was indeed in battle armor. It made sense since I came prepared for battle. The armor felt so light I forgot it was there, and I forgot about the upgrades. A devious grin split my face.
âOkay, you caught me. I was looking for trouble and found it. Now Iâm going to fuck your shit up.â
The semicircle of thugs looked around unsure what to do. Greb though, he broke out into laughter which prompted his goons to do the same. I let them have their moment and even joined in. Only my laughter was for a different reason.
âOkay, okay,â Greb said as he slapped his knee. âJust how do you expect to do that? I mean, have you looked around? There is a shit-ton of us and just one of you. If we all pulled the trigger once it would be serious overkill.â He waved his sidearm around before continuing. âI tell you what, Peck. I will let you make the first move before we slaughter your sorry ass. Just cause Iâm in a good mood and your are one funny dude.â
âThat was a mistake,â I said.
I activated my armorâs new ability and took a step. At the same time I designated Tevor as a friendly so he would still be alive if this played out like I knew it would. The metal covering me thickened as I stepped forward. To my surprise Greb was not the first person to shoot.
