"Do your kids always act like this?" asked Kaarde to Rudy Blackwater. Rudys daughter had just walked away after being so indignant and obviously no care as to be involved in learning the family business. Rudy spoke "I try Mr. Kaarde, I really do try but she has quite the rebellious attitude and I cant get her to listen for the life of me". "Have you tried shock therapy?" laughed Talon Kaarde.
Rudy Blackwater and Talon began to talk buisness hashing an outline for a future meeting as Talons opportunity greatly...No. requireed Blackwaters involvement. Talons charm seemed to be working. "Too bad Blackwaters daughter wasn't privvy to this. She could be easily manipulated" Thought Kaarde.
The serenity of the cafe was violently thrown into chaos when a large recycling truck went through the glass panels and faux rock formations of the cafe. Shards of glass intermixed with large hunks of concrete, rebar, and other shrapnel went flying throughout the cafe. The large truck was still going full bore when it drove through part of the sitting area narrowly missing Rudy's daughter and a uniformed transit driver finally slamming into the washrooms with enough force to crush the cab and crumbl half of the walls. The truck was still in high rev's as if it still wanted to continue but it could not. The automated vehicle usually had an emergency function that automatically cut power when a catastrophic event occurred but for some unknown reason it was still operating in transit speed.
Talon woke up in a daze. The truck had speared right through his meeting and before he was knocked out he had felt the truck throw him to the side after impact. He rolled over onto his side and attempted to use his hands to get up. His right hand couldn't find purchase so he pressed harder with his left easily being able to push himself up onto his knees. He half concussed looked around. People were screaming, dust, debris, and blood smears were everywhere. Half the coffee stand was even taken out by a large chunk of concrete. The sun filtered through a hole in the concrete to pierce Talons eyes. He raised his right hand to block out the sun however no hand came up. He looked down to his right side thinking maybe it was shock and he had broken something. It was shock; but when Talon looked down he started to see part of his white pants with large splothes of a red liquid which led to a pool of blood near his side and from that looked up to find his arm severed above the elbow with a large piece of metal sticking into his side.
