resort_link | Lying Liar

[Belloq remains in the clothes he was wearing during the expedition of earlier, the pith helmet off his head, but the safari suit dirty and stained from a day crawling about the jungle. His head is bowed in remorse.]

I am sorry to report that Niko Bellic, wilderness guide, fell today in the course of his duty.

I will not distress with details, but only say that we were taken by surprise by a swarm of skeleton archers while exploring a temple. Niko fought bravely, and I owe my life to him. He is a credit to all who risk their lives leading us through the dangerous wilds. May the psychopomp guide him to peace.

I will be at Pugsy's tonight, raising a glass in remembrance, if any would like to join me there.

[And the lie is done. Even Belloq doesn't exactly know where that temple was. Niko, as guide, had that knowledge. There is little chance that someone will find Niko before he really is dead. And Belloq's done his duty to the Orion Syndicate, for which he'll be paid well.]

[ a few minutes after talking to Belloq, a call is coming through.]

Are you Boone?

[He's a little surprised to be getting another call, but he answers it anyway.]

Yeah, I am. Who're you?

[ Ashe isnt the most social, but Niko was a friend so he had to contact after he was told the name of the man going for the body. He speaks with a heavy European accent.]

Good, just the man I was looking for. My name's Ashe, I'm a friend of Niko's, and I'd like to go with you to help recover the body.

[Boone doesn't know if he should mention to Ashe that he thinks Niko is still alive. He doesn't know the guy. Still, if he can be useful he doesn't think he should turn him down.]

Sure. Probably gonna be dangerous, though. You know how to take care of yourself in a fight?

[He's not really up for babysitting anyone. Niko's life is potentially at stake here.]

I can more then handle myself in a fight, if you can get me a gun I can also watch your back as well. I am much experienced, I wish to make sure Niko is given a proper burial, not just left to rot.

[ He sounded very sure of himself, because he is. Sure hes a city boy, but hes also a spirit of vengeance so hes not worried.]

[Good enough for Boone. He doesn't really have any reason to think the guy is lying. Niko is a good guy, he's not surprised he has people willing to help him out.]

Alright. Meet me at the security station, I'll get you a weapon. You'll have to give it back after, but it'll do for now.

I'll be there in a few minutes then. And that is perfectly acceptable. Thank you.

[ And then he hangs up to do just that.]
