The Fourth Floor Job

Been feeling kinda sentimental lately. Dunno, not used to feeling... much of anything, honestly. Least of all nostal-knowst- missing the past. But here we are, an I don't think anyone else is gonna write this shit down, so guess I will.
 
This was prolly ten years back. Sean and I were running with a couple other guys; Villis, a dark elf with a shoulder spider he called 'Twink' and a real pale halfling what fought wit his hands called Wisp. Didn't do this kinda thing much, sorta an alliance of necessity. Mark was a Baron, pissed off another Baron. Callugard, or something. Don't matter. We had to infiltrate through a fourth floor window of his mansion. Villis built this gun that fired outta both ends an made a rope bridge we could slide across. Not explaining it well, but it let us get passed the whole courtyard and three floors of security. We swung across and I picked the lock on the door. We knew there were five guards on this floor, but we didn't count on the big fuckin' golem what activated when we went into the bedroom.
 
We grabbed the Baron, Sean tied him up with this living rope Villis gave him, tried to bail. I did kill the golem, but it took a lotta shots and slowed us down. By the time we got back, there was a wall o guards between us an the door. Guard captain order us to surrender, told us we'd get a fair trial - lies, all of em, captured bounty hunters get squeezed to give up their clients and die one way or another. Wisp did... something, appeared right over the captain's shoulder an knocked him out cold. Villis threw some kinda bomb and all hell broke loose. Probably killed four guys before we got to the door. Wisp got grabbed by some guards and chained, they were draggin' him off. He looked at me, an I knew what he was asking. "Don't let em take me." I put a bullet through his eye. Keep tellin myself it was a mercy. Prolly never know.
 
We put the Baron on a sling, Twink slid it across, then came back for Villis. In the midst of the fightin', we forgot not to trust each other, and Vilis cut the rope an rabbited with the Baron. Piece of shit left us surrounded. Sean grabbed me round the chest and jumped off that fourth floor balcony. We smashed through a greenhouse roof and took off running. Had to shoot a couple more guards on the way out of the courtyard, managed to get away. Broke my arm in the fall. Honestly, we were lucky to get away.
 
Villis made out like a bandit. Guess he assumed we died where he left us, but we got him about two months later. Turns out you double cross a bounty hunter, they've got a pretty good chance of tracking you down. I broke his arm an put a bullet in his eye for Wisp. Dunno, maybe I felt shooting some fuck who deserved it made up for the one who didn't.
 
Never got paid for that job. Villis spent it all long before we got to him.
 
Dunno why I wrote any of this. No ones prolly ever gonna read it. Guess I just wanna air out my sins, or something. Thats all I got right now.
