"Hey! I said I don't like her, I didn't say I wouldn't help her planet," Latch stated. "And without me, you will never find that fence. You need to have the right connections to other people, you need to have a track record on you, join guilds. And we are not talking about just any track records or guilds. Fences only show themselves to certain people. I've clicked with all the right groups to gain access to these fences, which is why you need me. Now come, the fence lives in the uptown part of this city."

You would think a lot of thief fences would live in a poor and rundown colony, but a lot actually live in rich colonies. That's because the law generally looks only in the poor colonies and never things to look for fences in rich colonies, making them surprisingly good hiding spots.

Reggie rolled his eyes. "You said that after you helped me get the part I was on my own."Reggie said, following after Latch.

"But I still told you I'd be helping you by getting you that part," Latch stated. "How many people do you need?"

"More than just me and Sarkaras. Fenrir threw us around like we were toys."Reggie said.

"Hmmm, I'll think about it then," Latch said. "Plus, getting revenge on Fenrir is a goal of mine. Still, we have to keep a really low profile in the city." Latch looked around the area to uptown, but didn't find any good places to hide in the shadows so he wouldn't be seen. "Hmmm, do you have any heavy outfits I can wear? I'm getting a big cold. Preferably something with a big hood so I can cover my face. That gets colder than any other part in my body."

Reggie shook his head. "sorry bro, don't wear hoods. Normally wearing my helmet, which I don't have on me."Reggie said.

"Brrrr, very well, I'll see if I can find it from above, be sure to watch for my mech arm for signals. ...But don't stare too long," Latch said before he started to scale one of the buildings with all six limbs. When he got down, he crouched so he couldn't be seen.

"Uh-huh"Reggie said watching Latch climb up the building.

Eventually, Latch crawled through the buildings, trying to keep the lowest profile he could, till eventually he reached a certain location and raised one of his metal arms up to tell Reggie to go down an alley. That was where the fence would be hiding.

Reggie headed down the alley way that Latch had directed him to.

As Reggie got inside, Latch crawled down the building beside her. They were met with a large curtain. Behind the curtain was a rather grotesque green creature with six spindly arms, huge lips, bulging eyes, a long neck and a small but fat body covered in a blue rag.

"Oh, so we have visitors," the hideous creature said. "You aren't part of the police, are you?"

"Appo, he's with me, you know who I am right?" Latch asked.

"Oh right, my apologies to you Latch," Appo said. "I suppose you are here for a reason."

"We're needing a part to my ship."Reggie said.

OOC: I thought she was already in the alley.

Oop: Reggies a he dude and he is in the alley way

OOC: Doh!

"Aha! I think I have just what you need," the weird creature said, stretching an arm behind the curtain and pulling out the part they needed. "Fifty thousand coins."

"That's quite a lot," Latch said. "Argh, I had more money, but Icias made me spend most of it. ...That's all I have left."

Rggie groaned. "I swear ever since I left Cryoss everything seemed to get ten times more expensive."Reggie grumbled.

"It's worth it Latch," he muttered to himself. "It's completely worth it. Fine, here is your fifty thou."

Latch gave the last of his money to the creature and was given the part they needed in return.

"Thanks."Reggie said taking the part as he turned to leave. "I'll pay ya back when I get back to my ship."Reggie said to Latch.

As the two were walking away from the fence, they were suddenly ambushed. There were men and creatures in long black cloaks, desert hats and bandanas surrounding the group.

"Surrender now, Latch," one of them said. "We have you now."

"Huh, now hold on I bought this part legally," Latch said.

"Who're these guys?"Reggie asked.
