Jacob received a text from Nox. He needed a clean up crew for a dead dreyken. It wasn't a call he'd usually make. So why now? The message also said he'd explain later, but when he texted back Nox didn't answer.
Something bad must have happened if he couldn't clean up his own mess. The fact that he called Jacob meant it was dire.
It wasn't hard to send a clean up crew to the site. Jacob went as well to see what had happened. A stick jutted through the dreyken's face and there was an obvious gun shot wound, he wasn't alone.
This didn't look like something Nox would do. Definitely not his MO as of late. Much more like the days of old. There was a lot of blood everywhere, there was no telling whose was whose. And the victim was dead dead long before they had arrived on the scene.
Jacob approached the tech guy who was shaking his head. "We have no idea what happened here sir. The video is scrubbed, all static and you can't see anything. Someone got here before we did."
Jacob nodded. Sounded like Nox. He was very good at covering his tracks. "Just cover our tracks then. We'll figure out what happened another way."
The tech just shrugged and did what he was told.
Before you know it things were back to normal, maybe a little too clean for a dirty alley way, but there wasn't much Jacob could do about that. It'd be filthy again sooner rather than later.
