[QUOTE="hero4hire, post: 1815196, member: 20711"] [U][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Marsielle, France: One month ago[/FONT][/U] The handsome, impeccably dressed man, put all of his chips on Black. The buxom brunette languishing on his arm gasped. [COLOR=Teal]“Oh my Paul, so much money on one bet?”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]“What’s life without risk baby?”[/COLOR] The wheel spun… [COLOR=Sienna]“Seven Black.”[/COLOR] A murmur of approval came from the crowd accompanied by a squeal of delight from his companion. [COLOR=DarkRed]“Pardon me sir, but the gentlemen over there sent you this and asked if you might join him.” [/COLOR] The waiter offered him a glass of wine on a tray. ‘Paul’ looked over to man at the table. He had never met him before, but he recognized him. [COLOR=Purple]“Excuse me for a second beautiful.” [/COLOR] He said to his shapely but vacant escort and sauntered over to the table. [COLOR=Purple]“Château d'Estournel, I am impressed. 1938 I believe?”[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange]“1939, the harvest was much better that year if I recall.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]“Hmm, you look shockingly good for a man of your advanced years then.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange]“I am glad it meets your approval please join me then, Mr. Denning. I have a business proposal.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]“I am sorry Mr. Hammond, but I work for one of your competitors.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange] “Yes I am aware that Silver Sable has you on retainer, and I also know your contract is up for renegotiation.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]“You’ve done your homework I see.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange]“Yes, I plan on reforming Heroes for Hire, but with an all new roster. I am sure this will be an inexperienced and motley crew, and I need someone of experience, and skill to lead them and form them into a cohesive unit.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]“This all sounds very interesting Mr. Hammond, may I call you Jim. Jim, as I said I work for your competitor, and well I am fairly happy with the arrangement.”[/COLOR] The two stared at each other for a long moment. One could almost see an inner fire burning in Hammond’s eyes. Suddenly Hammond broke the awkward silence pulling out a fountain pen and a ledger. [COLOR=DarkOrange]“Perhaps [B]this[/B] will change your mind.” [/COLOR] Hammond said writing out a check and handing it to ‘Denning’. [COLOR=Purple]“Listen you’re wasting—“ [/COLOR] he stopped abruptly and gaped at the check despite himself. [COLOR=Purple]“Jim, you got yourself a deal!”[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange]“Welcome to Heroes for Hire, Paladin.”[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
