She wants the crew to kidnap young Lord Juniper Dayworthy before he is assassinated by the infamous Serpent of Westport. Juniper is holed up in a Blooded safehouse, but sneaks out at night to participate in illegal carriage races.Doc Sin has history with the Serpent, having previously conducted reconstructive facial surgery to give her a new identity. Unfortunately, after completing the procedure, the Serpent tried to kill him. When that failed, she ruined his reputation - driving the once respected Doctor Sindaris Bedlam to a life of crime.Opting against any kind of planning or reconnaissance, the crew amble onto enemy turf and are immediately accosted by a roving band of Blooded ruffians. From the rooftops, Shayloth Hellstar, aka Dark Duck lobs a smoke bomb into the street below. The crew take advantage of the blinding fog to take out the thugs.Interrogating the survivors, the crew learn Juniper Dayworthy is hiding out in a slaughterhouse operated by Blooded underboss Bale Ruhger. Shayloth parkours onto the roof. Through a grungy skylight, he watches several thugs torturing a helpless man suspended from a meathook. Shayloth takes careful aim ... and shoots the victim in the leg. The Blooded goons are shocked to see the masked vigilante Dark Duck looming over them, smoking pistol clutched in his webbed hand."Quack Quack, motherf***ers."After dealing with the thugs, Shayloth rescues the injured prisoner. It isn't Juniper. The man is Halfred Grimes (chartered accountant), whose gambling habit got him in deep with the wrong sort of people. Shayloth apologises for shooting him.Meanwhile, the rest of the crew start a brawl with the guards outside the abbatoir. Doc Sin beats a guy to death with his cane. Old Farmer Jenkins skewers a dude on his pitchfork, then twirls it round like he's Darth Maul at the end of The Phantom Menace. Sean puts a bucket on some bloke's head and watches him stumble into Farmer's Jenkin's whirring blade. Blood splatters.Inside the slaughterhouse, a large refrigeration unit has been converted into a reinforced safe room with a complicated clockwork locking mechanism. Sean sets to picking the lock, while Doc Sin and Farmer Jenkins fend off the next wave of Blooded goons. Shayloth bumps into Bale Ruhger whilst terrorizing his subordinates and throws the Blooded underboss out a window.After three rounds, Sean unseals the safe room. Lord Juniper Dayworthy cowers behind his bodyguard, the scarred veteran Adele Chandler. Juniper is convinced the crew are here to kill him, and nothing Doc Sin says will sway him. Adele stands ready to protect her master ... until Sean puts another bucket on her head. While she struggles to remove it, Old Farmer Jenkins glides in like a gore-stained penguin, grabs Juniper and glides back out again. Doc Sin sweeps his cane at Bucket Head like he's swinging for the fences and puts her out like a light.The party manhandle Lord Juniper toward the exit, having successfully completed the Kidnapping J - BOOM! Without warning, an explosion rocks the building and the crew are buied beneath a mountain of burning debris!! The Serpent of Westport strikes again!!! TBC</blockquote>
