    Summary

    Fix it.

    That’s the only thing on Jabber’s mind when he finds Zanka bleeding out and barely holding on.

    But the longer he tries to save him, the more he realizes something is changing—
    and it might not be something he can control.

    Summary

    Zanka had not meant to steal from Jabber Wonger.

    Not at first.

    It was supposed to be just a fight. A dirty, brutal clash in the lower trash veins, all blood, poison, teeth, and bad angles.

    Then Mankira got caught in the wall, Jabber stopped laughing, and Zanka saw the one line even a madman would not cross.

    Jabber would break himself before he damaged her.

    So when Assistaff scraped too hard, when one ring slipped loose from Jabber’s deadly hands, when Zanka felt that small warm circle fall into his palm—

    He should have dropped it.

    He should have returned it.

    He should have told someone.

    Instead, Zanka kept one piece of Mankira hidden against his body.

    And Jabber notices hes missing a part of her.

    Now Jabber has nine rings, one empty finger, and a growing obsession with finding out exactly where Zanka is keeping what he stole.

    Zanka calls it evidence.

    Jabber calls it theft.

    Mankira calls it something worse.

    And the lie only gets heavier the longer Zanka keeps her warm.

    With no exciting missions requiring his involvement and his body still healing from the last time he got to dish it all out, Jabber's mind drifts to a different place.

    Summary

    While The Cleaners did offer some training that could be useful when met with troublesome folk, it's not like there was some specific manual. Simply put, there were no instructions. And speaking on that, there was definitely nothing that would ever explain what you should do when you get trapped beneath an enemy that actively wants you.

    or in other words: Zanka is unlucky.
