“Erica felt a chill and decided it might be better to go ahead and cut her break short. She turned to head back in the side door and ran into a big block of a man. He looked like a prize fighter who’d lost one too many fights. Bald, muscular, and with a few important teeth missing.”
-

“We are the Guild of Thieves, and we exist to take back this world from the rich and the powerful. In ancient times kingdoms were run by kings and fought for by people like us. And what has changed? The rich are richer, the poor are poorer, and evil men live above while good men live below. But some men would like to take our destiny away from us. A boy dressed as a dog hurt one of us, and by hurting one of us he has hurt all of us.â€
-
Episode 7, Chapter 7 -The Cowboy in the Parking Garage:Â A vision in the parking garage. The Cowboy. Bronson writes a letter. Blaze gets grilled.
“Dogboy thought it might be best to startle Blaze before showing himself. If he just jumped out from under the car the guy would have a few seconds to get the jump on him.

“What? Are you asking if I believe the ghost stories about a man organizing the small-timers? The Guild of Thieves? Absolutely not. The spike, and that’s all it is, the spike in crime in Colta City is easy to explain. Most importantly it was expected. Our fine Colta City PD are prepared to face this perfectly normal spike in activity. Most students start with ‘What does the mayor do?’ by the way. Good to see one of you who has an interest in current events.”
-

“No, sir. Fate isn’t our friend. Every once in a while it’ll give you something good. Dangle it like a master might dangle a string in front of his kitten. Then the master pulls the string away, puts in his pocket, and walks to the other room. All the kitten has left is the memory along with the sneaking suspicion that it’s all for somebody else’s amusement.”
-

“A few rules for getting along with me, Bronson. 1. I pretty much always know what I’m talking about. 2. I’m going to help you out because Big Bald Bob asked me too and I’m on his good side this week. Three—  And this is the most important one— don’t bug me. Ever. If I have the time to deal with you I’ll let you know. If I don’t let you know you don’t know me. We clear?”
-

-
