Description
‘Long time no see, C.A.
-Hi Claire! You know how it is, on the move most of the time…and best not to be seen too much around here anyways. As you well know… So how’s it going for you, old gal?
-Things have been pretty calm here since that little rodeo show you gave to entertain the neighborhood. Are you still doing runs these days?
-Got a couple commissions, yeah. Had to pay for repairs on the bike. But I’ve been thinking about hanging up my gloves. I’m not getting any younger, you know. And that last time was one fucking big scare…Without you, I’d be history, m’lady. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you for dragging me behind that wall and telling the other clowns what they wanted to hear…
-See, there may just be a way for you to get even. I could need some help along your alley. Don’t have the kind of money you guys charge, though.
-I owe you big for covering my back that day, Claire. You know that. So tell me what’s bothering you, and I’ll see what I can do.
-Well, when I told you nothing much happened around here lately, that wasn’t completely true…’
The Runner listened to Claire very intently as she gave him a brief rundown of Destiny’s tale. He really wasn’t such an old man, she guessed, taking in the wiry muscular frame and the sharp features. In his early forties, probably. But he looked emotionally exhausted. Zigzagging back and forth across the wall for two years and putting his life on the line with every new trip had taken its toll.
‘So… Someone’s been playing guardian angel again, I see. Except you got yourself a damsel in distress this time…
-Look, C.A., I’m a very open-minded person, you know that. If I can grab a scrawny runner’s ass to get him out of trouble, why shouldn’t I pick up a naked young beauty when I have a chance? But seriously…
-Seriously, your protégée needs to get out of here, no doubt about that. And there’s no way she’ll make it without an escort.
-That’s what I figured. And I thought maybe…
-Maybe Crafty Andy could be coaxed into bringing the news to the Freedom Fighters across the border… and possibly convince them to send someone over…
-You’re a pretty decent mind reader, C.A. But I don’t want to…
-Lady Claire, aside from the fact that you saved my ass, I just happen to like you. And I was looking for a valid reason to do one last run before retiring. Seems I've found it…’

I am sorry about the delay in getting this one out, I have been sick the last week and it has put us behind on the story, and me behind on commenting on your work.

So the Lady has some good contacts with the Runners! That sounds to become a really interesting ..collaboration
I really like how complex the relations between the different parties of that story are! And C.A looks like a very interesting character!
Great continuation (I'm repeating myself, somehow )
And I hope you're doing better now, or soon!

Good to know that you are well, John, and see the story continue.
Destiny is lucky that the old gal has connections among One Percenter Runners MC, which in your story C.A. is actually a member of. Nice character work by the way. I see street smarts in the way he thinks and looks, and seems to be a man of principle too.

Crafty Andy's portrait is amazing! Like we're in a movie. Your pictures are growing to an incredible level of quality. And of course I like this Claire character pretty much too.

Yay, Crafty Andy to the rescue. He should prove to be a trustworthy guide for Destiny.

Fantastic render! Now we really have characters who have signs of life on their faces. (edit) Good to know you are well again. I also had some strange flue kind of thing that took all the energy without fewer. I was down until my BD... Then I was 2 days drunk. Now back in business.
