How Faux Toad met Geighte

Down the street away from all the crumbling tenements, close to the butcher shop, Faux Toad took his leisure, watching the girls walk on by. Kinda short, kinda squat, big wide grin surrounded by a couple of days of stubble, Faux Toad was waiting.

He was waiting on the arrival of a package, being hand delivered by one of his business companions, Geighte. The story of how they first met has little to note, save they did meet and became associates because of it.

It was a few years ago, towards the start of winter, just past All Hallows Eve, and with the hint of snow to come in the next few weeks, Faux Toad had taken a simple tail job. Follow a couple of would be hoodlums, see where they went, who they talked to, make reports back to the contact every couple of days, or if something that could be interesting happened to occur.

During the course of the investigations, FT (Faux Toad as some called him) FT ran afoul of a young female that would come to be his biggest competition. In the aftermath of that encounter, while recovering from the deep knife wounds Pyre Rose (Her name based on her penchant for roses and flames), inflicted on his person, he had to ask around about her. The man with the information turned out to be Geighte.

That ended up fine, save for new scars and a dent in his savings to pay for the doctoring, being unemployed FT has no insurance.

Now a few years later, the two worked well together, when the circumstances warranted it.
