Sometimes
you have to do a job in a hurry, with little time to plan and a lot of making
it up as you go along. Jobs that are favours to friends/allies/contacts/whatever
else are often of this type; they need something done in a hurry and they can’t
do it themselves, so they have to turn to you. This sort of thing rarely pays
well, but instead often comes with other benefits like favours in return. It’s
the underground economy part of the underground economy.
I got a
call from Cwildred because she needed help with a problem. It was small for
them moment, but had the potential to blow up into a huge mess. I agreed to
help her out because a) she’s a friend b) I owe her for all her awesome combat
biking lessons and c) it’d mean getting on the good side of a massive
nationwide gang who have fingers in all sorts of different ventures. See?
Favour for favour.
