Fine. Any reason we're not killing the ultimate target ourselves?
"It is a matter of access," Aleksander says. "This man is not some peasant you can just walk up to. He is Denver city councilman, Vincent Wynand."
For the others, the explanation seems satisfying enough. However, Heartbreak sees through this minor deception, and can tell that Aleksander is not telling the whole truth. Minor local politicians absolutely
are the type of people that shake hands with normal people all the time. But this realization only leads to more questions for Heartbreak. What is the real reason the team can't just take the guy out? And why won't Aleksander tell them the real reason?
Aleksander continues, oblivious to Heartbreak's concerns. "You all are aware of current events, yes? That the world has gone mad, and men have transformed into beasts that people are calling orks? Most of these orks have gone into hiding, not daring to show their faces in public. Some courageous orks have dared to go outside, and have been beaten or killed. And then, there are those daring few orks who have fought back, and even reversed the trend and have begun to attack their human neighbors. In Westwood there is such a group of orks, who call themselves The Rekkers. They are little more than a street gang, who thrive on robbery, drug sales, pimping, and extortion, while the police are currently overwhelmed with more urgent matters. The first part of your mission will be to meet their leader, a particularly surly individual who insists on being called Ironjaw. He is expecting you."
There is a silent pause, where Alexander is clearly reveling in the confusion of the team. "I suppose there are a few questions left unanswered. Such as 'why?' My answer is this: For the money, my friends! There is no other reason for those such as us. Ironjaw's cooperation is absolutely necessary for this mission, but he is stubborn. We must convince him to have the Rekkers attack Wynand's campaign building before Wednesday. Do whatever you have to do to get Ironjaw to agree. He may be a low-brow thug, but he won't break his word. His gang has taken over a trailer park called Shady Nook, on Morrison road. That's where you'll find him."
There is another pause while Alexander regards the crew. "I know I will regret asking this, but are there any questions? You'll be paid when the Rekkers kill Wynand."
