{Fourth Robbery} In the Streets of Paris [Video]

[John's heavy coat is wrapped around his body, his head's down and the rain is coming down in sheets. His leather clad hands are in his pockets and he's looking to get out of the storm. He grabbed one passerby by the arm and the reaction wasn't what he expected. His brow lifts and let the person go.

He did this a few more times, asking a random question here and there only to get a wave, a smile and the go-by. John quickly discovered that these people were pretty generic.]

Can't get a word in edgewise with these folks. I get that I'm in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was a dead give-a-way. Anybody got any idea how long this'll last?

[The rain actually felt pretty good to him considering that he comes from a time where rain wasn't common. The Dust Bowl made sure of that.]

I should send this rain back home. They sure could use it.

[He cuts off the feed before he says too much more.]

Where you at? I'll come to ya so we can get off this device thing and talk over coffee.

Hiding from the rain. I can hunt down a decent cafe if you're interested?

Sounds good. I'll come to you. I don't mind the rain.

You wouldn't happen to know if there's something going on with the people around here?

[John looks around and spots someone that didn't quite fit in the picture and turns off his device.]

Now that's somethin' that I'll never say over this thing.

[He pulls out a chair and takes a seat, not waiting to be invited.]

I'll tell ya. People are gonna start a revolt soon.

[A knowing smirk and a gesture with his hand that depicts he likes the irony.]

Ironic too considerin' we're in France an' one o'the most famous revolutions started here fer th' same reason. People're gettin' fed up bein' pushed around. That's what.

[He nods towards the newcomer.]

Glad to see you're capable of distinguishing me from everyone else.

Revolution however...? There's nothing to indicate anything of that sort. Unless you're planning something?

[He points to the device on the table.]

Dead give-a-way.

[He gives the other a somewhat discerning expression and nods up toward the people behind them]

I ain't plannin' anythin' like that but you're too new like me to drum up anythin' just yet. I'm catchin' up.

[He leans back in his seat.]

What about you?

Hmm. I'm curious. Depends on how interesting your plans are when they unfold, I might tell you mine. But for now I'm just here, enjoying Paris for what it is.

[That alone made John grin.]

I ain't sayin' what it is just yet anyhow until I get all my li'l duckies in a row.

[The grins drops.]

I don' know you. What's t' say that yer not workin' for those two-bit dicks just t' see if I'll spill my guts t' ya? Show me yer not one of 'em.

Because I'm not on anyone's side unless they give me a reason to. Suffice to say, no one's interested me just yet.

[He inhales, thinking.]

A'right. I'll give ya that. 'Sides, it ain't somethin' ta prove easily anyhow. I'll give it to ya on th' level. I'm lookin' at disruptin' this little system of justice tha's been strongin' the residents. Some people're too afraid t' sneeze without risk of ge'in in some trouble somewheres.

Follow me, so far?

Sounds interesting. I'll give you the benefit of doubt for now however.

It's one of those matters ya gotta see fer yerself. I ain't gonna sugarcoat it an' spood feed shit to chickens. And if I'm right and you say it, I'll let you in a little more.

Fair enough. It wouldn't be fun anyway knowing all the answers right off the bat. Just don't keep your eye off me, I haven't begun to make any plans myself.

I'm keepin' you in mind. Once I got somethin' solid, I'll get a hold o' ya. Right now, I'm gettin' all my li'l ducks in a row.
