Story[]

Rabby is being pursued through a city by a group armed with weaponry including explosives. Introducing himself, Rabby addresses why he is a bounty hunter being hunted. In the area, Kylot leaps down from a building to deal with those chasing Rabby using his own asset of choice. Not exactly happy at being saved, Rabby raises how Kylot rescued him even though he is his mark. Considering how everyone is the bane of his existence leaves Rabby comically livid.

Happy to celebrate in a bar, Rabby slaps an acquaintances hand away after being touched by him. The one who can touch him must be someone flawless and good-looking in Rabby's words. Later, Rabby departs the bathroom and is conscious of sleeping on the streets. Passing Kylot who cautions him to be more careful, Rabby angrily questions what did he say. They end up sleeping together.

Waking up and considering that was one wild dream, Rabby then realizes the situation.^[2] Recalling how they spoke in the alleyway and then when they were in the bedroom, Rabby wonders how this could have happened. Having been protecting his behind for 27 years, Rabby considers there is no way he handed it over last night. Regardless, Rabby focuses on how he has to remember the face of who he slept with and get revenge.

Attempting to remember him, Rabby takes into account the silver hair in the room as well as a sarcastic voice and strong legs as potential identifiers. His phone rings and Rabby regards the call. Outside, Rabby meets up with Im Poster who asks where he went last night. Not wanting to speak about it, Rabby lies that his wallet was stolen, only for it to fall out his pocket for Poster to see the truth. Accurately guessing that a guy was involved, Poster agrees to help Rabby find him.

A public alarm sounds, yet Poster questions Rabby if the guy on his screen is the one being looked for. A wanted poster features Kylot with a cash reward for dead or alive and Rabby confirms it is him.^[3] Incensed, Rabby sees it is who he calls the butt thief. While Poster is not surprised since he himself has been a wanted person in this town once or twice, Rabby raises how the more wanted Kylot is the more competition they will face. Framing it through that lens, Rabby confirms he wants revenge that badly as the reason for seeking Kylot. Set on capturing Kylot as consolation for his behind, Rabby states he will need Poster's help.

Elsewhere a man who resembles Kylot finds himself targeted by a menacing group who check online whether it is him. Those viewing the digital watchlist find the details on Kylot are changing. Before a series of monitors Poster is working to assist Rabby. His next step is to scatter the competitors. From where he is, Rabby discusses over the phone how Poster's hacking efforts have made it difficult for others to understand the wanted information. As Rabby contemplates how they will have plenty of time, Poster initiates his step three, outdoing the competition.

Having shopped using someone else's bank account so credit cards cannot be traced, high quality equipment has been acquired. On account of the amount he has bought, Rabby is shown the store's secret catalogue which is shown only to capable bounty hunters. There is a sale for a living rope which is used to arrest suspects. Tempted at imagining Kylot in it Rabby procures one. As Rabby raises whether the boss is here, it is detailed that Claymore is away who had left a poster stating to not serve Rabby until he pays the money he owes. Since the the clerk does not know who he is, Rabby neither specifies it is him.

Wondering whether he really owes Claymore money, Rabby means to find Kylot and pay it back once the bounty is gained. Checking a tablet device, Rabby considers that since everyone gets their food from the government then Kylot will have to show up on security footage eventually. As he contemplates Kylot's features in his memories, Rabby then notices him on one of the security cameras. While Kylot has avoided others looking for him he is conscious of becoming surrounded. Nearby to him now physically is Rabby.^[4]
