Loose Ends Taken Care Of(Bolts Of Choas TP)

--Ferravale Town Center--

Shadowfur looks up and asks, "What is it Rafe?"

Rafe snorts, "Not liking this, want to do something"

Shadowfur sighs, "It will happen soon, Retha is to start it up, sort of"

Rafe shakes his head. ”I am not trusting her; she seems one to betray us, what if she does Shadowfur?"

Shadowfur says, "I will take care of it"

Rafe asks, "How will you take care of it sir?"

Shadowfur smirks, "By doing what I said I would do and I was serious on that"

Rafe nods, "Of course sir, I already know how serious you can be"

Shadowfur nods. "Yes, I was put in charge of it and I will handle it"

Rafe nods. "Yes, that is understood."

Shadowfur looks around, "Good, where is she now?"

Oakenpaw asks, "She?"

Rafe shrugs, "I am being unsure of that"

Shadowfur shakes his head and turns as he sees the hare, "Oh Oakenpaw, hello there"

Rafe watches the hare but for now stays put

Oakenpaw seems to like Rafe and the Hare heads straight for him, "Ello there chap" He offers a paw "and Shadowfur, be friend o friends Wot? “

Shadowfur sighs a little, "Rafe go ahead and help me with what I mentioned earlier ok"

Rafe nods to Shadowfur and looks at Oakenpaw but doesn’t shake his paw, “Ello hare"

Oakenpaw looks at Shadowfur noticing the sigh "Um..Chap I say somethin wrong? Any idea why Rafe here is leaving a chap with his paw extended..hangin? “

Shadowfur asks, "I wouldn’t know, bad mood? Rafe was about to help me with some supplies that’s coming soon'"

Rafe looks at the hare "I not liking hares, I got work" He walks off leaving the hare with no shaked paw.

Oakenpaw asks, "Can I help?' He watches Rafe go "Strange beast"

Shadowfur shakes his head "Oh no I have enough help friend hare, all is taken care of or will be"

Oakenpaw asks, "would you like a loaf or me cracked wheat bread?"

Shadowfur says, "Perhaps, I will think on it."

Oakenpaw says, "Well the loaf is still warm"

Shadowfur says, "You know you’re so kind, should give you a gift"

Oakenpaw cocks his head "You give me a gift every time your my friend chap..." He smiles

Shadowfur hmms, "How so?"

Oakenpaw says, "well it brings e pleasure, and your some beast I can rely on"

Shadowfur is silent and shrugs, "Oh I can be..trustworthy to those I am loyal too , trust me on that"

Oakenpaw says, "I do trust you, not only with My life but with my leveret's lives"

Retha walks along and looks back and forth as if looking for someone.She slows as she sees the two and frowns a little.

Shadowfur smiles a little "I see..how intresting.." He sees Retha and watches her closely.

Oakenpaw notices him looking t Retha and says, "Pretty isn’t she”

Retha frowns a little more and walks over, "Oakenpaw, I have something to tell you.."

Shadowfur frowns, "Now Retha, no sense in brothering the hare right now, I am sure it can wait"

Oakenpaw Cocks his head ,"Yes? My comment was only meant as a sincere compliment.... No Please good or bad let’s get it out, bad news does not get better with time “

Retha looks down "It's...nothing, not to worry on"

Shadowfur shakes his head, he smiles to Oakenpaw, "I say we don’t worry on it, it’s such a good night after all"

Oakenpaw says, "Now do not do that to me Beasts..come on now spit it out"

Retha shakes her head, "It’s fine just, it’s not important I can tell you later"

Shadowfur takes a deep breath and is silent, he coughs some "Yes Oakenpaw, let’s not..dwell on her, she must just feel bad or ill maybe, no concern of yours, is it Retha?"

Retha frowns, "I can’t and.." she nods slowly, "Yes it’s not his..concern"

Oakenpaw says, "so what are you beasts doing today..besides gathering supplies?"

Murta enters the room quietly, then says in a near whisper, "Hello Oakenpaw, where have you been?"

Shadowfur smiles, "Oh just..stuff"

Retha looks down and is extra quiet.

Oakenpaw says, "Well stuff is very important" He nods then looks to the Marten "My word, that is an intimidating beast"

Shadowfur watches Retha. "Well I have some things to do soon, must remember to fix up my supply list for the chieftain"

Retha mutters, "No you don't"

Shadowfur looks at Retha, "What was that..dear?"

Murta says, "I think we met in the square once."

Oakenpaw nods as realization hits him "Aye yes, Hello, Murta right? Retha here is a GREAT singer

Murta nods and curtseys, "Yes, that's who I am. Pleased to meet you Retha. "

Oakenpaw smiles to Murta "what have ya been up to lass? "

Murta blinks, "Ah, it’s you, the weasel. How have you been doing?"

Retha frowns, "I said..."

Murta asks, "Would you believe trying to find the beast that just entered the room?"

Oakenpaw asks, "Wot was that Retha?"

Shadowfur says, "She seems tried, she should rest"

Retha glares "I am not tried!"

Shadowfur says, "Yes you are, now go rest"

Oakenpaw says, "Shadowfur, lad that’s rather rude.....She's a grown beast after all...."

Murta says, "Aw, leave her be. What’s the big deal."

Retha frowns "It’s important, he needs to know and..I..I need to say something and I will"

Oakenpaw says, "So Say it already Lass spit it out"

Murta nods vigorously.

Shadowfur chuckles "I see, no it was..something she wanted to say to me, I will get her to her home, then things will be better" He walks over "Come Retha"

Retha frowns, "I...but" She sighs and looks at the others, "Be right back"

Oakenpaw Frowns and steps up protectively to Retha "Chap please don't do this, not right.... “

of course if she wishes to go with Shadowfur he will not stop her

Shadowfur says, "It’s just she is tried and stressed, just want to know why and help her...rest""

Murta sighs and wonders if she should leave.

Retha nods slowly" Yes, rest is..ok, maybe just stressed"

Shadowfur nods and smiles "I will help her home" He then goes to make sure she follows.

Oakenpaw shrugs and steps to Murta, "Suit yourself" then smiles "So Murta have a seat on the bench here with me and I want to hear about your day"

Retha does follow slowly.

--Path by the Dirt Road--

Retha follows so far and then goes to bolt back to the village

Shadowfur blocks her oath and smiles coldly, "Bad move dearie"

Retha gasps and almost crashes into him "Please..PLEASE"

Shadowfur says, "You were..WARNED""

Retha backs up in tears, "Please..Shadowfur, I..I was just, just let me leave Mossflower"

A couple rats show up and blink "What she do?" "She do something wrong?"

Shadowfur nods "Yes, she almost told the hare who I really was and so I said she needed rest...permanent rest" He smiles coldly.

Retha frowns, “Please I..I can leave Mossflower, I can live elsewhere, work elsewhere”

Shadowfur draws a blade, “Yes you can leave Mossflower but won’t be to work elsewhere” He lunges at her blade drawn.

The two rats watch and one chuckles.

Retha gasps and tries to move away and gets a long cut down her left side and tenses up, she kicks at Shadowfur.

Shadowfur slices at the blade again and sidesteps with her if she moves over, he is quick on the footpaws.

Retha barely moves out of the way, she aims a kick at his gut.

The rat brothers smirk and one fires an arrow at her footpaw.

Shadowfur growls and grabs rushes towards Retha and aims for her neck after the kick connects with his gut.

Retha gasps as a large deep gash forms and falls to the roadside, she takes a couple slow last breaths and is still, dead.

Shadowfur smirks, “She is now resting, she needed it I think, take care of the body boys”

The rats nod and do so as the ferret heads back to the village.

---Back to Ferravale—

Shadowfur walks back after a short while; he looks at the crowd and heads to the Mill.

Scioto smiles, "Yes I am still Chieftain"

Murta turns to Oakenpaw and explains, "Before I was kidnapped by a horde, I lived with my parents and was actually quite well educated. Too bad this Leftear fellow didn't like that fact."

Oakenpaw says, "Well I sure like it"

Shadowfur glances over at them and nods to Scioto.

Scioto nods "Hello..the miller right?"

Murta explains to Oakenpaw, "This Leftear was a fox from the north, a silver fox with grey eyes. He had only his left ear left, hence why everyone called him that. He told me that he was trying to get his horde back together after half of it and his old boss was wiped out by a badger several seasons ago, and he did not care if its members where there VOLUNTARILY."

Oakenpaw says, "Well I have a White Fox friend, please do not be upset with him for bein a fox"

Shadowfur nods and smiles, "That’s right, oh I need to talk to you on supplies, will you be in your office say tomorrow night sir?"

Murta grins, "Hardly. This fellow was a right bad beast, but I'm not going to judge your friend by him."

Oakenpaw says, "My Friend's name is Flicktail because his tail is always flicking"

Murta chuckles, "What an amusing trait. Perhaps I will meet him sometime."

Scioto says, "I should be yes, we can meet tomorrow night in my office"

Oakenpaw says, "I think you would like im"

Murta grins, "Well, I'll just have to wait and see."

Murta dusts herself off, "Well, good news, I got that spice I was looking for...now to figure out how to use it."

Oakenpaw asks, "Wot spice was that?"

Shadowfur smiles "Good see you then, sir" He bows "See you then" He goes on to Mill.

--early, early the next morning—

Shadowfur walks into the center of town, it’s very early in the day so not many are around just yet as he seems to look for someone.

Rafe is here, upon seeing Shadowfur he walks over and nods. "Sir, so news on when we strike and what of Retha is she still going to help or she need dealed with?" He waits on a response to the question.

Shadowfur shakes his head, “No Retha is dead, she tried to warn the hare..why a hare is here I have no clue but she tried to warn it and I took her to get some rest" He chuckles "One she will never wake from rest"

Rafe blinks and then grins, "Oh, ha ha....so who be telling chief cat to meet at office if Retha is no more around, who then?"

Shadowfur looks at Rafe, "I did already ask the chieftain to meet me in his office tonight after dark to talk of supplies in the Mill for the village, so be by the cell. We will start the chat at supplies and then turn to other matters, you knock him out and we take him to where he needs to be taken and contact Marek that the next phase of his plan can start, our boss Marek will be very happy, perhaps not so much on Retha news but she was a trouble maker and would of messed up the plans sooner or later, probably sooner."

Rafe smirks, "So soon I get to smash something maybe or still no?"

Shadowfur chuckles "Perhaps, but not yet still be a guard, you will be here while other guards rush off to find the chieftain who has to be somewhere in the woods, a fake base is all they will find, well sort of fake as it was used a short time, its moved but that can be discussed later, once Raymond and his guards leave, we have more control over the village as not many guards will be around then, the real fun begins after tonight my friend"
