Ragnur went to get some food, all he wanted was a simple repast that wasn't made from a replicator. However he ruefully should have stuck with his own thoughts, his instincts in laying completely low. Of course the quiet Trill just had to have a slight breath of fresh air, just to get himself a brain restart. He also wanted to contact Jackson Porter once more, and he had gone to see if he could do so, the man not answering his messages. Yunu Ragnur though found himself the subject of great interest, and not from a friendly face. Instead he was being followed by four Ferengi, led by someone he had hoped to never see again. Someone that Jackson Porter had introduced him to, in another place a couple of years back. Renaga. The Ferengi acted as if Ragnur owed him money and since when did Ragnur owe him? Then again… there was the minor slip up when he had gotten a little bit drunk, and Renaga happened to be nearby. When there was a possible profit to be made, it seemed that those who had the lobes could smell the cash opportunity very quickly. Renaga wasn’t slow to put two and two together. He got wind of the setup between Jackson Porter and Ragnur. For the life of him, Yunu had no idea how Renaga found him. Or was it merely coincidence? Or could Jackson Porter have sent a messenger to Renaga as to his whereabouts? Jackson Porter seemed to have connections with some rather unsavory characters. Hence the reasoning behind Ragnur keeping his silence up until this time. Now though he had to escape,to get away and keep from being trapped, keep from being squeezed for more money. Ragnur could feel cold perspiration trickle between his spotted shoulders and down his spine, shivering. He felt ill to his stomach at the anxiety he was feeling. He had gotten onto the turbolift to head to the nearest, place where he could just disappear.

Renaga cursed in his native tongue, his spotted skinned quarry having given him the slip, He smiled though showing his freshly sharpened teeth, his ire swift to go away. He had his own network to keep track of Ragnur, his prey. He had greased a few palms, called on some favors in which to find his somewhat golden goose, as the hoomans loved to say about someone or something profitable. He lifted up his communication device and sent out a call.

“Dageon, do you have sight of Ragnur?” he asked.

“He hasn’t gotten off the turbolift yet.” came the answer,” we’ve got someone keeping an eye on him though.”

“Good, keep me posted and also keep watch for that extra large Klingon, you do not want to get in his way.” Renaga responded.

“Will do.” Dageon signing off.

Ragnur called for his destination, Deck level 70. He could feel it in the middle of his back, eyes seeming to be staring at it, he was feeling like he had a target on his back. Of which he felt it true. He avoided going near the Drunken Fish which had a few ferengi that liked to hang out there. He also caught sight of someone following him. Quickly he looked about his eyes lighting upon the Elysian Dreams where a tall Klingon woman was letting people into the Adult club. It was busy and that is something he could utilize. He barely had enough to cover the fee for entrance, and he was let in.

Renaga’s communicator got his attention rather quickly, “What?!”

“He has been spotted going into Elysian Dreams, Level 70” came the answer.

Renaga smiled, he knew this was the place that the former Grand Proxy had come to talk to the Lurian who owned the business. Maybe he could use this to his advantage,maybe get a business deal with her and turn some profit. He rubbed his hands together, envisioning the possible profit. He shook his head though first off, he needed to claim Ragnur, and then go from there. “I am on my way.”

Ragnur could feel the palm of his hands become clammy, feeling his nervousness rise, and a slight sense of panic. He sought the furthest corner of the Adult club, then he caught sight of someone which caused him to freeze. He saw Renaga wait He was there with a pretty blonde woman. “No, how can he get here before me?” he gasped softly to himself. Another look then Ragnur realized it wasn't Renaga.

The blonde woman’s eyes widened when she saw the staring, startled Trill, then her gaze snapped towards the entrance of the club, quickly looking at her date, doing a double take.

Ragnur ducked behind a plant and looked to where she had looked, he felt a cold heaviness drop to his stomach, He could see Renaga! Ragnur shrank back making himself smaller, he also saw the blonde woman pull the other Ferengi to the floor. He lost sight of her, now he needed to get out of here. .

Noting the sign of distress, one of the wait staff, another trill, took him by the hand and said. “Follow me.”

Ragnur didn’t hesitate but went with her. For now, he was safely hidden from Renaga’s view….

The tall Klingon woman noticed the reaction from the blonde woman, Kaylee, as well as the Trill's reaction to the Ferengis that came into the club. She sent a message to security wanting to prevent trouble from happening, in Elysian Dreams. There was also the notice given by K'doc to let him know if she had seen persons of interest. Well, Khylara found it rather interesting that three persons of interest were right there in Chientaka's club. How did the humans saying go, three birds one stone?
