    "You bastard. How dare you talk to her like that." snapped Secondguy.
    Scott looked at him curiously for a moment, then quietly began circulating his magical energy. This confrontation had probably been coming for a while, though he was surprised that they planned to try something in a busy train station of all places.
    "Oi? Whatcha lookin' at? Do you like what you see?" asked Beadyeyes in an angry and suggestive tone of voice.
    "No. I see it far too often," said Scott without a hint of hesitation. "What do you three stalkers want from me, anyway?"
    "Stalkers! What are you talking about? We're just three people who want to take the train," said Secondguy.
    "Fine. Go right ahead," said Scott with a smile. He did not buy what they were selling for a moment, but it did not matter. They were not likely to actually do anything in a public place.
    "Like we need your permission," said Secondguy.
    Scott shrugged at the man then looked away like he was nothing. The complete dismissal caused Secondguy's face to turn red.
    "Look at this bastard. He calls us stalkers, insults my woman..," said Secondguy. Redhead interrupted, "Not your woman." but Secondguy continued on without missing a beat. "He even takes up space on a public bench with boxes. What a jerk."
    Scott and Herbert sat quietly while awaiting the train. The idiot trio continued to harass and annoy, but they did not make any openly hostile movements toward them. It was obvious to Scott that they wanted him to make the first move. He denied them the opportunity to claim self-defense.
    Rhea and Ero arrived just in time for the train to come thundering into the station. It was similar to the lightning spewing vehicle that the law enforcers used in town. Electricity skirled underneath the train and magical forces kept it aloft. The train itself looked more like something fit for the military than for civilian use.
    Scott looked it over casually and tried to hide his surprise when he saw the twin-gun turrets mounted on top of each train car. It seemed to be heavily armed and armored. For a moment he wondered and just how dangerous the world outside of town really was.
    Rhea glanced at the common elf and then at the two idiots with her before looking down at Scott. "Hey, looks like the train's here."
    "Yep," said Scott lightly, before picking up the precious barbecue cargo. "Let's get on board."
    The three idiots followed them, naturally, but did not board the train. They merely stared at Scott and the others with cruel expressions as the foursome boarded the public transit.
    After the foursome found a seat in the passenger car, Rhea snorted. "Those idiots are so obvious."
    "The turd trio back there?" asked Scott rhetorically. He was merely carrying the conversation forward.
    "Exactly. I bet they can't ride the train because they have a warrant. We should check on that on the way to doing our jobs," said Rhea.
    Scott agreed readily then pulled out his Crysta-com. The train pulled away a few minutes later, but in the meantime he had already found something on the second guy who had talked. "Clarence James? Dude's name is Clarence? Wanted for strong arm robbery, and communicating threats to the elderly."
    "Oh, no way," said Rhea with a laugh. She finished a search of her own and discovered the identity of the random elf girl. "The red headed girl is Barbara Banks. Wanted for... promiscuous solicitation and petty theft."
    "She's a busty hooker who works a side job as a pickpocket?" asked Scott. What a cliché.
    "Seems so... Though, I could have done without mention of the busty part," said Rhea. She fought down the urge to pout at Scott for noticing the bustiness of other elves, and kept searching the public warrant database but gave up after a few minutes. "I don't see the guy with beady eyes."
    "Maybe he just likes to hang out with those two?" asked Ero. "Also, what the heck is that?" She pointed at a warrant notice for a man who had the head of a catfish. She had been
