"You spent your share of the reward money for a new gun. Why?"

"Because I needed a new one."

"What was wrong with the one you had?"

"The trigger would get stuck, and the burst shot gave away my position too often if I miss the shot."

"Then you're not doing your job as well as you said you will."

"With this I will and also am able to give us an advantage too. Don't slag people feel more of an affect from other shots and explosives?"

""Yes, but you didn't have to sell your old gun for it."

"Then who else is going to use the slag then? You?"

"Well... um... no, I won't touch that stuff."

"Then shut up and let me use a gun I want to use Armerus."

"Red, we already talked..."

"Shut up!" Red snarled as he shoved the gray wolf away from him. "It's my share of the money; I can do whatever the hell I want with it!" A sigh escaped the old wolf as he stood his ground and cracked his knuckles. "Listen pup, I didn't want to do this, but..." His final word was a right hook that knocked Red off his feet. Nady and Crane just stood in the corner and watched this all unfold. Looking worried, the green vixen stepped forward. "Armerus, that is going too far. You know he is the only one of us who knows his way around a sniper rifle. Ease off of him."

"The talking tits have a point." Crane said as he stood back. "And he is the only one of us willing to actually use one. Just relax a little bit."

A heavy sigh escaped the gray wolf. "Listen, if we didn't have to pay rent on this piece of shit place we have for a home, then I would be just fine with him getting the gun, but right now we are barely getting by with what we get and every penny and bullet counts. We can't throw money away. Understand Red?" He turned to where Red was standing from before. "Red?"

"Oh, are you guys talking about Red?" Said an overly cheerier robotic voice. "I saw him as I came to your door. He said something about wanting to shoot off a couple rounds. And we all know what that means. Am I right?" Claptrap said with a laugh. Everyone in the room just rolled their eyes and in unison spoke. "Shut up Claptrap."

"It's my part of the money. I can use it how I see fit." Red mumbled to himself as he lie down on his belly and set up his new toy for a little practice. Looking down the scope of his gun, a whistle escaped him. "Damn, this scope is amazing. I can actually see a skag's eye from up here." He said as he pulled the trigger. "And that's some damn fine accuracy. Much better than the Dahl I was using." Taking another shot, another whistle escaped him as his tail started to wag. His current target practice was running smoothly. Sitting up to reload his new favorite toy, he heard a small whistle come from behind him. Looking over his shoulder, he saw a young woman approach him. "Is that a Hyperion SMG you got there laddie?" She said as she grew closer. Sitting down next to him, Red could see that she could have been from an old race of tall tales. "Are you a lupeo?" He asked. "I asked you a question first, didn' I? Maybe ye should answer it." Taken in a bit of shock and slightly confused by her accent, he answered as best as he could. "Um... Yeah. It's a Hyperion Storm. It can use shock if someone has a shield you want gone." He answered as he looked his little guest over. Well, little wasn't really the best way to describe her. Pleasantly plump would best describe her as she tried to adjust her tight clothing to fit her form a bit better. "Well, it looks like it's gatherin' dust behind ya like that. How about I take it off your hands? Mine broke the other day and that lad of a store owner said he won't replace it!" A small laugh came out of Red as the lupeo finshed her rant. "Yeah, that's Marcus for ya. He can be a bit of a cheap stake. But what would you give me in return for the gun?" He asked as he placed a paw over the gun behind slung over his shoulder that hung behind his back. "A mate. Well friend, laddie. Don't get any ideas." She answered. "And some help with jobs, if ye want that too." Debating about what to do, Red just looked back at the gun and thought about how often he needed to use it. Pulling it off his shoulder, he handed it over to the women. "My name is Red, and I have a small team of three others that could use an extra gun so we can live another day. You in?" Taking the gun from him, she nearly giggled. "Good lad. My name is Li. And I'm a siren."

"What?"

"You heard me right, a siren."

Laughing, Red stood up and looked over the woman again and only spotted a small cross tattoo on her brown furred arm. "And a cross is your tattoo then. Your one odd siren if you are one. But if you want to be with me and my team, then come on." He said as he started to walk away. The lupeo stood up, found her balance and followed behind the quick wolf as fast as she could. "Hey, slow down there lad. I can't quite move as fast as ye do." She said as she started to pant as she turned her brisk walk into a slow stroll. Standing in place, Red just rolled his eyes. "I'm not even three feet from ya, yet you get out of breath. Are you sure you can help us?" a small growl came from the panting lupeo. "Yes. I may not be as fast as you laddie, but I can sure as hell can pack a punch." Shaking his head at her response, he led her back to the small place he and the others had to call home. "Hey guys, I'm back."

"Red. Who is this?" Armerus asked as he started to stare at their new guest.

"Is she goanna be joining us?" Nady chimed in.

"I sure hope so. It'll give us something else to look at then Ms. Muscles over here." Crane said as he playfully punched the vixen.

With a sigh, Red spoke. "Guys, this is Li. She said she could help us in return for my old SMG."

"And food." Li added with a small burp. "I haven't had anything to eat all day." Armerus was the first one to step in and comment. "I can get you something." He said as he kept his eyes on her as he moved into the other room. "I can get you something too!" Said a similar voice as Claptrap rolled in. "A treadmill!" Li's ears perked up as a small growl escaped her. "Li, calm down. Nadezda can handle this." Red said as he hid his face in his paw as the vixen took one step towards the little robot. "What are you going to do? Punt me like a football?" The sound of breaking glass came next. "Hey! She did punt me!" Claptrap shouted as he flew into the closest pile of trash.
