"You know. There's a reason I ask for a photo of the targets before I start a mission. Makes it easier, to find them. Now, I may forget names. Usually maybe a week after the contracts up. But I never forget a face." Cadoc said tapping a finger on the table for emphasis.

"You see my mind is like a camera. If I see something. I can remember it. If I had seen a photograph of your friends I probably could have told you what happened to them. But you didn't and that's why it's taken me so long. But you know this" He continued leaning back in his seat gesturing with his hand.

"I told you that when I started, that I put a low priority on finding people. Especially when I'm told they might already be dead."

"I told you that I was told they were dead." Urdin interupted. Losing almost all of his remaing patience for the mercenary.

"And isn't that enough to think they are? What are you? eightteen, nineteen? Bah, doesn't matter. You seem to have lived enough for someone my age. Yet, you're still a child. Paying me to hunt down ghosts." Cadoc sat up again, leaning close to the man across from him. Holding his hands directly in front of him to gesture.

"Do you know what makes me different from the others? You're lucky you found me kid. Most people in my line of work would have just took their payment and left. Not given you the time of day. No not me. I value loyalty." Cadoc said making various gestures as he spoke.

"Funny, coming from a hired gun." Urdin said coldly.

"Exactly!" Cadoc said pointing. "Everyone always distrust mercenaries because they can turn like doorknob. Whoever has the deepest wallet, has their loyalty. Not me. My loyalty is to who pays first. What kind of man would I be if I was hired to protect someone, and then killed them because their no good son in law stole his bank account? Loyalty, is the only thing in the world more valuable then even Dust. Because when the world ends, only loyalty will carry wieght. That's why I cannot be bought out of a contract." Cadoc said standing from the booth.

"That's why I took the time, to run around all through creation for you. Because by forming a contract you put your trust that I will be loyal to the contract." Cadoc said standing by his seat. Urdin began to stand as well, thinking that the mercenary was trying to trick him into something.

"Your friends are dead. You should have just listened to whoever it is that told you that." Cadoc pressed the lever on his detonator behind his back. Activating the deadman's switch.

Urdin however did not attack like expected. Instead he put his hand on the table. Disapointed.

"Yeah I guess I knew that. I ust hoped it was false." He said glumly.

"Well, this is kind of disapointing. I thought you would go Grimm shit and try to kill me over it." Cadoc said shrugging. Urdin raised an eyebrow.

"Why is not going Grimm shit disapointing?" Urdin asked.

"Because I already threw the deadman's switch." Cadoc said bringing his arm around to reveal the detonator.

"You son of a--" Before Urdin released the detonator and jumped backwards as a rapid trill came from beneath the table followed by an explosion destroying the booth and sending Urdin flying several feet through the cafe. Cadoc casually turned from his landing and started to walk for the door.
