:: when he entered the Outback on Wednesday, his normal night for working, Rask was initially rocked. It was the first time he had entered the Outback since the challenge between Jaycy and Matthew. The bar was barely paid for and now this.

As the night progressed he got some details on what happened. Avery had been involved as well. Later still, Avery, Jaycy and Matthew all arrived separately. Rask, never big on confrontation (( unless it came to owing him money )) confronted the three of them.

After a bit of debate, negotiation and maybe outright lies, Rask convinced the three of them to sign contracts agreeing to either work or pay towards repairing the Outback. One by one, he handed them a paper followed by a writing instrument.

Jaycy required a little bit of assistance, her broken arm making it difficult to hold the paper and sign at the same time. But still she was the first to finish.

Matthew was next. He seemed somewhat bothered that Rask would require his own people to sign contracts, but Rask explained that since Avery was involved he just wanted to make sure he covered all of the bases. Rask took the paper from Matthew after his signature was upon it and placed it into a different pocket than Jaycy's.

Avery essentially refused to sign it. He explained that he wanted time to speak with the Barons. Rask agreed to set up a meeting with Avery in the near future, leaving the paper he handed to Avery laying next to the bar.

As the night ended, Rask retrieved the last paper and walked out of the Outback, visiting his office before heading home. When there, Rask started a small fire in the fireplace and, making sure the doors were locked and the windows closed, placed the paper with Jaycy's signature into the fire. The paper intended for Avery soon followed.

However, the paper with the signature of Matthew Simon ... that paper stayed with Rask.

Rask smiled, enjoying a glass of wine as he watched the fire burn. Eventually, he made sure there were no remnants of the papers left and then proceeded to his home. The paper with the signature of Matthew Simon finding its way to the safest place in Rask's home ::
