The First Age

The thrill of shooting the rifle brought back memories and Ayden had to step back. Connor would probably frown upon her using the rifle, it was too close to what she'd used in her prior life. She sighed and patted the gun as she handed it back to the shop keep. "She's a beauty, but sadly not what I came for."


Ayden walked back to where Emily was and smiled at her when she saw her. "When you are done, maybe we can go see about seeing some men in action."
Ayden grinned. "More appropriate men than Sebastian."
Bas was a thug, Ayden knew he'd killed that man, she could have done it easily herself, but Emily didn't need to cut her teeth on him, at Connor's Gym there might be a better mix but then even men like Bas hit the gym so you never knew.

Emily smiled when Ayden came over. She had finished firing the rifle. Emily had kept practicing and her shots weren't phenomenal, but they had improved. Emily felt she was good to go. She could easily practice more some other time.

"That sounds like fun."
Emily was being sincere although some nervousness had entered her voice. She was willing to try, but it didn't mean she wasn't scared to face her fears. "You lead the way."


Emily paid for her purchase, which included a holster, more ammo, and cleaning equipment. When Emily handed the man her card to pay, he looked at the name and back at Emily with a quizzical look before looking at the TV and back at Emily again.

Emily made a glance at the TV screen and was surprised to see her own face there. It was a video of her press conference and the ticker at the bottom read "Shale Industries CEO pledges $2 Million in Foreign Aid."

Emily faced the man again and flashed teeth in a quick smile as the man rang up her purchase. After he finished, Emily thanked him and left the shop with Ayden.

"So...where to?"
