Eivor descended to the platform, and the man heard her approach.
Chad:Is... is someone there? Hello? Please, anyone?
Eivor:What happened to you, stranger?
Chad:Burk, the man I work for. He did this to me, that evil man! I was simply doing a round of checks on our last shipment when he accused me of theft! Me! Theft! Please, bring me up to the bridge. I need some treatment, some medicine...
Eivor picked up the man and carried him up the bridge. Burk and his thugs accosted them immediately.
Burk:There you are, Chad. About time you showed your face... or what's left of it!
Chad:Burk? No! No! Get away from me!
Burk approached, bracketed by two other men.
Burk:Come along, Chad. We still have work to do.
Chad:Work? You still want me to work? I can't even see my own hands, you heartless bastard!
Eivor:He says you blinded him.
Eivor questioning Burk and his men
Burk:Aye, that I did. What is a leader to do when his men can't take their eyes off of his treasure, even after several warnings?
Chad:I ... I was not looking! You stabbed my eyes out!
Burk slapped Chad.
Burk:Quiet now, Chad. Come, hand him over to me.
One of the men working for Burk moved to carry Chad.
Burk:Do your best to follow me, Chad.
Chad:Just kill me instead.
Eivor killed the two men working for Burk.
Chad:Thank you, stranger. I thought my fate was sealed.
Eivor opted not to commit murder in the streets of Jorvik, leaving Chad to his fate.
Chad:No-no... just let me die... I'd rather die...
Eivor thought to herself.
Eivor:He might have been better off stuck below the bridge. Too late now.
