"Seriously now, did any of you believe that we would actually manage to avoid that?" Alistair quips with a chuckle. "Given our recent history together? Anyone? A show of hands would suffice."
"Perhaps you should allow me to negotiate? Or failing that, blow up their little hovel? I promise, either way, we'll have a resolution we can all get behind."
"Do you really want to spend another night here Stone? Though maybe we should walk away and scout the location. Who knows maybe he will go to Darga to tell him some strangers are looking for him and lead us right to our target".
Kess laughs at Alistair's comment. "See? Just like I said. Now, I for one vote that we simply take care of this now. The longer we wait, the more likely we are to run into trouble. Let's just stun him, and take him with us before we leave." Hefting her blaster back to a ready position, she says, "Who's with me?"
"You stun the Devaronian, I'll shoot a grenade into the building." IG-MDz flicks his thumb, priming the grenade launcher.
"Yeah, he is not alone in there. If you all want to make it happen now, I am game but uj they are watching us right now".
You decide that a stealthier approach after the situation calms down is in better order. You all leave as if the matter is concluded.
You expect it and are not disappointed when one of the lackeys in the building emerges and trails you (at least he tries to do so). They aren't used to dealing with professionals and it proves his undoing. You make it so he won't be reporting back to you any time soon.
You sneak back to one of the nearby buildings after working out your plan. You know you only have minutes before they are alterted of the missing person.
I'm squishy!
"I don't know. If we start using explosives near the rubble-pile, we may have a pretty catastrophic collapse of the superstructure. Of course, if that's what we're aiming for, I can definitely help with that. I'm carrying enough unlicensed explosives to level that pile and scare the natives from ever building there again."
There are two other doors but they are obviously in disrepair - rusted shut and crumpled beyond use. [/ooc]

Allerick ponders his targets carefully. He very slowly prepares a chunk of detonite and a detonator. When the time is right, he sneaks toward the pile of rubble and places the explosives in a position designed to ensure maximum effect. He'll time it to go off as the others reach the front of the building.

"I hope this works" Colvin thinks to himself.
"Remember guys we want this informant alive so set your weapons on stun or this whole stunt is for nothing".
Setting her blaster for stun, Kess simply asks, "Shall we?" and moves to start the shooting.
"Fire in the hole!" Allerick sets the explosives and RUNS!
Thumbing his rifle to stun IG-MDz puts his rifle to his shoulder and sends a grenade down the door.

Will update later today
The explosives are set expertly on the side of the building to blow a new "door" in place. Allerick is sure his work will do what is needed. Positive, to be sure. In fact, he explains how amateurs would have made this or that mistake, if anyone will listen.
At the exact moment of detenation of the charges, IG-MDz lobs a grenade into the building - fitting it through the eye of a needle like only a trained soldier can.
KABOOM! KABOOM! The reports are almost simultaneous. You see a new door where the rusted out older door used to be. Followed that you see a rolling cloud of dust and then a strange sound. A low rumbling followed by a high pitched squeal. It is all soon followed by a protesting series of shrieks and pops as the entire building begins to fall down. The implosion couldn't have been planned any better.
The droids rush in, oblivious to the impending doom - their protocols are to save their master.
In seconds you can see nothing more than dark, sooty dust. The sounds subside and are replaced with an strange, surreal quiet.
You wait for the dust to settle as you exchange glances, thinking you may have planned it differently after witnessing the results.
As your minds race to come up with a plan 'B', you hear a weak cough. The dust eventually clears enough to venture forth and you find a Devaronian male dragging himself from the wreckage of the landspeeder that used to mark the front entrance. Of his friends and the droids, you can only surmise they remain behind, a solemn reminder of the decay of this once proud city.
IG-MDz pulls the mark out completely and performs a brief field exam on him. Other than some lung issues with sucking up all that dust and some scrapes and bruises, the scoundrel seemed to have used some powerfully uncanny luck to survive.
"Where were my manners before? Of course I'll show you to Darga. When would you like to go?" he offers hesitantly. He is obviously more afraid of you now - more than enough to overcome the ingrained fear he has of the Hutt.
"How about now?" IG-MDz says, staring down the barrel of his blaster rifle at the Devaronian.
Allerick stumbles out of the dust cloud, a big stupid grin on his face. He shouts, his hearing clearly gone. "I love a good explosion! This is why applied physics is so much more FUN than theoretical starship design!"
Colvin smiles at Kess and IG and whispers, "That is why it is so important to keep him around". Colvin then turns to look at the dusty Devaronian holding his blaster towards the ground, "Yes now is good, it seems like a pleasant day for a walk I am so glad we could finalize our deal from before. I believe your fee was 50 credits?"
