"No problem... Now, hold on tight, this thing is pretty fast."
Zed flew the Aiolos up high into the sky, allowing the tracking device to lock on more easily. After a few minutes the device had found Koko's locator signal.
Gotcha.
The Aiolos boosted for a second then hovered near the edge of a large cliff.
"There down at the bottom of this cliff, got any plans?"
Zed looked to the other man.
"My name is Zed by the way"

Thane spun round to come face to face with Dimitri. "U-U-Uh....H-Hi...." Thane noticed the english accent and smiled slightly. He had been noting that most of the people in the makeshift city underneath the sleeper ship, had either accents he didn't understand or they spoke in a languages he didn't understand. Only a few people he knew actually spoke proper English.
"Uhm.....Syu?" He put his hand on the younger man's shoulder to stop him from walking off without him.

Jackal smiled sweetly to the girl upon approaching the shack and stopped, turning to look her dead in the eye.
"Well, Koko, I think you're failing to understand the fact, that when it comes to cash, and thats all you are to me, I never make mistakes. And as for the 'weeping hostage'... we'll see won't we?"With this, Jackal grabbed the girl by the hair, dragging her into the shack, kicking the door open ferociously.
The interior of the shack was relatively small, but several luxuries dotted the living space, and expensive luxuries for that matter. A record player with several records, a fridge, full electric lighting. Even a large communication system, comprising of a radio, and several comm.-links.
Jackal pushed the girl into a chair, tieing her wrists to the base roughly and efficiently.
The raider moved over to a small cupboard, pulling out a box of cigarettes, and popped one into his mouth, lighting it with an expensive looking gold bell-lighter. Inhaling deeply, seemingly lost in a euphoric moment, Jackal closed his eyes, a content smile playing across his lips...

Koko kept her face deadpan & stared straight back at Jackal when he spoke to her, looking not in the least bit frightened. She let herself be tied up quietly enough, but then made a small, humourless laugh once the raider lit a cigarette.
"Heh, that's odd. If it's only the money you're after, then why not take the pilot of the Aiolos instead? Like he said, his bounty is greater than mine. That already looks like a mistake to me."
She turned her head slightly to the side, a grin appearing on her face; she could feel her small, hidden blade in her boot, but it would be difficult to get it out, so she'd have to wait till she could get it.
"Oh & you realise he ain't gunna be too happy with ya right? & trust me, your flashy-lookin' bike ain't got a hope against the Aiolos - I should know."
Shifting herself slightly, the mercenary managed to make herself a bit more comfortable.
"So there's another mistake buster."

Jackal opened his cold blue eyes abruptly, slowly walking over to the girl, he took another deep drag on the cigarette.
Crouching down in front of the chair, Jackal put his face very close to hers, blowing smoke into her face slowly.
When Jackal spoke, he spoke cooly, and evenly, looking the merc dead in the eyes.
"My dear... have you learned nothing? When I find a target I'm interested in, thats is all I'm interested in. Understand?"The raider took another lengthly drag, smoke filling the air around the two.
"Like I said sweetheart... no mistakes."
Jackal ran his hand over the girls face, hardly blinking.
"This, between us... its personal."
Jackal walked over to the other side of the room, switching the record player on, some slow, steady reggae playing out grainily.
The raider then moved over to a small bed, removing his shirt to reveal a slender, toned frame, thick with tattoes, and more prominently, scars.
Leaning back on the bed, the raider sighed contentedly.
"Any requests, Koko?"

Koko stared back unblinkingly at Jackal, not turning away, despite detesting the smell of cigarette smoke. Her eyes glinted with a steely determination & her jaw was set tightly. Though she did try to move her head away from the man's touch, making a small 'tch' noise as she did so. Once he'd moved away she looked down & bit her bottom lip slightly, realising that the blood around her gunshot wound was beginning to harden, sealing it slightly.
Upon looking up she saw the raider remove his shirt. Noticing the abundance of scars she briefly wondered who, or what, had inflicted them. Her eyes narrowed at the raider when he asked her the question; she answered in an icy polite tone that hid a lot of anger.
"No, thank you."
She now turned her head in the direction of the door, wondering where Zed was & how he might find her. Then she shook the thought away & changed her attitude, mentally chiding herself,
No, you can't rely on him. You've been in worse than this before, you can get out yourself!
She looked up at the ceiling, making her voice sound bored & sarcastic,
"So, who's the buyer lined up then? Hopefully it'll take you a while to strike a deal, afterall I would so hate to leave this wonderful company."

Jackal threw his head back with a short burst of laughter at the girls answer.
"You can drop the steely act sweetheart, you must have a craving I can cater to."
Jackal smirked as he saw the girls eyes flicker over his torso.
He inhaled deeply once more, "Ah... I see, thats what youre after is it?" He paused to watch the girls reaction, taking great pleasure in her distaste, and discomfort.
Jackal moved on to answer her second question.
"Haha, thats for you to find out my dear... all I can tell you is that I've already had a very extensive conversation with someone who's willing to pay an arm and a leg for you. Thats my bad, forgot to fill you in on what you missed when you were taking your little nap."
Jackal leaned towards the girl from his perch.
"And when my buyer pays the full sum, he can use you for, anything he wants."
He smirked.
"And I mean... Anything."

((SO dimitri is mine here...okay smile ))
Dimitri stepped forward, "Syu..." he held his hand out gently. "Hello. Its nice to meet you both" His deep red and gold jacket hung over his shoulder, having took it off because of the heat, and he was wearing a plain black t-shirt.
Taking in his surroundings, Dimitri waited for a reply from Thane and Syuzanna.

(To answer the question, yeah it's fine, as long as the person who originally had the characters is ok with it X3)
Koko let her gaze drop to settle on the raider again, a look of disbelief & rage mixed over her features.
"For one thing, there isn't anything you could possibly cater for that would interest me in the slightest &, all I was wondering when looking over was who had given you the scars - I feel as though I should applaud them, especially if it hurt you a great deal."
She knew that had been childish, but heck, she was feeling pretty darn pissed right now. If only he'd just leave or turn his back for a while, she'd be able to get free; then the guy would be in for a lot of pain.
Jackal's other response hadn't surprised Koko much, afterall their were a helluva lot of people who wanted her for some reason - whether torture, slavery, revenge or otherwise. She sighed & resumed the monotone voice,
"Guess I'll just have to wait then. How boring."
Blowing a piece of hair away from her face, the mercenary leant back in the chair. She began to slide her boot off slightly with one foot, then kicking it back on, acting as though she was trying to amuse herself; though in reality she was testing to see how easily the footwear would come off & how much time she'd need to get the blade. Her gaze drifted over to Jackal, to see what his reaction would be now.

John almost fell out of the chair as the ship accelerated and deccelerated. He groaned as he forced to put weight on his leg. He looked up at the pilot as he regueistered what the pilot said.
"I'm John. Sargeant of the City Guard. Pleased to meet you. I just wish it was under better pretences."

Zed grinned manically and gripped the controls of the Aiolos.
I'm sorry Aio, we might scratch your paint a little.

John nodded. "Thanks." He limped to the back of the ship, replenishing his ammution for his FAMAS and Intervention. As he walked back to the cabin, John's curiosity got the better of him. "What sort of proposition? Are we talking about?" As he entered the cockpit.

"A good one. I'll tell ya after we get koko back, cause i'll have to check with her too..."
Zed flicked a few buttons, enabling the stealth systems and engine silencers.

John raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Right." He sat, gently rubbing his leg. "Need me to do anything?" John asked
