The Captain's appearance scuttled plans for an ambush of the traveling merchant and the fact that he was willing to go off with him in an instant to view his wares pretty much deleted them all together from Sammi's mind. Damn, oh well, Maybe Peter will take him for all he's got. Who knows? After being dismissed for some shore leave, she decided to take him up on that offer, heading into the city.
With the bit of Belli she was given by the Captain, she hit up a couple of the shops inland from the port, away from the usual tourist traps by the shore. There wasn't much on offer, it seemed like most of the shops had been cleared out in recent times, and not just due to brisk business. Still, she picked up a nice ring that was on offer. Practically a steal at 95,000 belli. And then it was literally a steal thanks to the loaded bluff she still happened to be carrying with her. Worked much better than the axes. And she had to have it. There was no jewelry on offer in Jingo to replace all the accumulated treasure that went into the hands of the enemy when the Marines took the Thrasher, and this was a fine piece of work. The golden band accentuated the three ruby stones that lined it, and it was still quite shiny.
Sammi was still admiring this latest acquisition when she heard a commotion from the nearby alleyways. Sounds of gunfire were ringing through out the streets. She looked around, it appeared she was in a run down section of the island, very industrial. Not like the active port, it was more run-down, as if people around here had just moved on. Shit. Now how am I going to know where to go to get back? Smart, Sammi. Just smart.
