(Sorry for the god modding, Luke)
I pulled the horses to a slow trot as we neared the gates of the city. Ah, it appears to be my lucky day, the guard is asleep (or drunk). I quietly made my way into the city.
Once inside, I stopped near a pub and jumped down from the driver's seat. First I checked on my hostage, then I went to check on the others, keeping an eye on the Leeran the whole time.
"Barg! Who taught ya to drive? You nearly knocked the wind out of us!" Randy hollered with what little strength he had.
"Ah, it was nothing. I'm a natural." I grinned widely at him. He just gave me a look like Oh, geez! "Where to now, captain? Where would we find your dear brother?"
Randy rolled his eyes, "I don't know. If I knew I wouldn't have gone looking for ya."
I just nodded and backed away, and returned to the front of the carriage. Luckily, the Leeran was still there, and still conscious.
"What can you tell me?" I asked, sweetly.
"About what?" He nearly spat at me, "you seem to think you know everything."
"Well, I don't. What do I need to know about West Port?"
"Look, lady, this ain't exactly the kind of place for women. You best turn back to where ya came from."
I was about to inquire more, when a mysterious woman approached me.
"I see you've arrived. Will has been expecting you."
I raised an eyebrow at her. So much for keeping undercover. Let's announce it to the world WE'RE HERE!
As if to read my thoughts, she responded, "Oh, you misunderstood me. He did not tell me you were coming. Come, you and your friends need some medical attention. And, who is this?" she nearly laughed as she stroked the man's chin.
"Buzz off, Lady." the Leeran glared at her.
