Desertjack's craziest job ever

As the doors opened all we could see was an empty station. At one of the other mercs insistence  some of us gathered with the others to plan the job, many of the other mercs joined though some left saying they 'didn't need the rest of us slowing them down'.

At the head was a grizzled griffin merc his name was black claw. As we gathered around he started to speak."attention everyone as you know we were hired to find whatever it is our employer wants here. It is in all of ours interests to work together to find it. Givin some decided to go at it on their own means they only have what they could carry. Now with us working in tandem we will find this device quicker but we need teams, for which it seems you all have. Now each of us has a map of the area graciously provided by our employer we each will take a section starting from nearby and spreading out from the station but because I don't think leaving this place, there for our excess items, unguarded two groups will guard. While the others are out. Making the station as our base camp."

As he finished another spoke up. "Not complaining or anything but who is leading this operation?"

At his question everyone looked at the griffin, at this he laughed and said. "I have experience so I'll lead." None disputed him.

"Ok so we will have teamed of seven each. If you have a group of seven one will represent that one fall in for your job assignment." With that he walked over to a few tables with maps of the area showing.

Turning to my group I ask"who should we send?"

"Well you are the one who formed this group you go." Kid said with a huff.

"The young stallion is correct. You are the leader of this group we will gather supplies for our use while you are gone."anvil stated with a firm tone. Nudging the young stallion next to him.

"Yea you go do the boring part we will be ready by the time you are done. anything special you want from the offered supplies?" Timeshot ask.

"Ya fifty cal rounds, twelve gauge shells,forty four mag, five five six rounds and mags, and explosives." I said "Oh and whiskey, rags,pipes,and gunpowder"

"Anything else?"she smirked.

"For now.... Ya that is all oh actually scratch that get tarps and tents , three, double hold. And cooking supplies and food." I said.

"Ok whatever you say boss." Time said with a wink.

"Klutz and boomstick y'all do what Ya need ta." I said.

"Got it boss." They both said in unison.

As they all turned to their respective tasks I couldn't help but smile. They were great teammates and skilled. "Well let's find out what we will be doing." I said to no one in particular.

"Sir you wanted a rep from all the willing groups? my team booted me over here ta find out what we would be a doin." I said walking over to the command table.

"You are the squad leader for your band of misfits?"a unicorn merc said with a laugh.to which got him a wing slap from the elder griffin.

"Enough of that digger. If you represent them ok. I have a mission for you we need a long range scout team and your team has been pricked for it. Pick your supplies and head out asap." The griffin said handing me a folder.

"Ok wilco sir."I said turning to head to my team.

"Oh and by the way pack some necessities. You will be out there for a quite some time." He hinted with a devious smile.

All I could do is nod and trot over to where my team was gathering supplies and assist with gathering what we would need.

As I was looking through one box I stumbled on an interesting find in there was boxes of condoms and other items of interest. Remembering griffins comment I stashed a few boxes in my rucksack. And moved on but my actions didn't go unnoticed.

"What did you find in the box?" Boomstick said in a sultry tone.

"Oh! Uh nothing important." I stammered.my face as red as could get.

"Oh really then you won't mind me looking in your bag would you?" She said, swaying her flank in a seductively.

"Uh actually ah did but they ain't for what ya think they are for. "I admitted, Removing a box.

"Oh really? And tell me what did I think you had them for?" She said looking at me.

"Well uhh ya.....uh....might have thought that ah got em fer sex?" I stammered.

"Oh?!" She said, coming closer.

"Uh um uh uh ya know we do have job ta do but if ya can wait when we stop ah'll give ya what ya want, But please till then let's get the rest of our supplies. Ok?" I pleaded.

Frowning she turned heading back but as I went by her she turned and pinned me saying" ok but when we do don't use too many of them, cause you will need them but till then I'll have to be satisfied with this." As she finished she drew my head and roughly kissed me.

As she finished all I could do was sit there, spaced out, over her actions. I would have sit there for longer but a throat being cleared.turning I saw anvil trying to look like he just got here.

"How long have ya been standing there?" I ask.

"Long enough to hear the whole conversation, and see her kiss you like a mare possessed." He said a little nervous.

" well horse apples ah hope this isn't gonna be normal thing fer her..... Oh buck me Timeshot might do tha same. Ain't this a predicament?" Turning to anvil I ask "Anvil tell me Ya got some wise words fer me?"

"Only this, you are in for either a very enjoyable time or in for a rough time so I would do, as some say, 'keep them happy '."

"Oh joy."I deadpanned. "Ah'm bucked now thanks anvil. "

Smiling he just played a hoof on my back and said. "Not if you play your cards right. Come on let's get back to others and get out there."

Giving a sigh nodded and followed him back to the others looking boomstick timeshot and klutz were looking my way giggling. Oh horse apples ah'm swoop bucked. Though this might be a good thing fer me. Walking over to kid he said. "You ready old timer?"

"Ya know kid we never got your name?" I said annoyed.

"Well old timer it's Whiskeykidd ok." He huffed.

"Ok ,whiskey, ok no need to be angry." Anvil said trying to calm him.

"Well with that out of tha way. We have our mission ta pull long range scouting so we will, by what the map and papers say, take friendly drive ta thirteenth avenue. All potential buildings are marked. As for any additional find are per our employers saying free gain he only wants the device. So if Ya find something take it ,it's yours. Now let's get out there and scout it if Ya find anything shout out."

With our little briefing we walked outside and got our first look at the place.
