-Jacob and Dyson standing in front of Afterlife-
"So let's go in." Dyson went first, followed by Jacob, but before they entered, a bodyguard stopped them and asked what kind of business they had here; Dyson told him that they were here to meet a Maine for some business, and the bodyguard nodded his head and let them in. Inside the Afterlife were a lot of people, Dyson showed Jacob to follow him, and so he did, and they sat in a booth near a bar. They both sit, "He is not here, so let's wait for him a little, and we should order something while we wait, don't you think? Dyson said, "Why not." Jacob said, "Alright, then go and get us something." Dyson said, "Why me?" Jacob asked nervously, "Because this is your first time here, that's why." Dyson replied with big smug on his face, "Bitch." Jacob said, stood up and went to bar while Dyson laughed.
The bartender approached Jacob at the bar and said, "I didn't see you around here. "Is this your first time here?" Jacob looked at the female bartender and replied, "Yes, I'm not from around here, so this is my first time here." Female bartender smiled and said, "Call me Claire." "I'm Jacob" Jacob replied, "So what will it be?" Claire asked, Jacob rub the back of his head because he didn't know what to order, "You don't know what to order, am I right?" Claire said to Jacob as he smiled nervously, then Claire maked and poured two drinks and put it on counter, "Here two Johnny Silverhands." She said, Jacob looked at drinks, then at Claire and asked, "Who is Johnny Silverhand?" Claire gave him a surprised look and responded, "You don't know who Johnny Silverhand, one of Night City's legends, is?" "No." Jacob answered. "Man, you are really from around here, but that doesn't matter. Enjoy your drink." Claire said, Jacob thank for the drinks, took them and went back to Dyson.
"So how it went?" Dyson asked, Jacob putted drinks on table and sitted next to Dyson, "It went well." Jacob replied, "Yeah, I saw." Dyson said, and start laugh his ass off, "Fucker." Jacob said, "I see you are enjoying yourself, Dyson." A man big huge as mountain said, Dyson and Jacob looked at man, "Maine!" Dyson yelled and stood up to shake hands, "I'm glad that you are here. Sit down, sit down." Dyson and Maine shook hands, and Maine sat down and said, "Dorio went to get us some drinks, but we can start without her." Dyson nod his had head and point at Jacob, "This is Jacob, my friend I told you about he is nomad and we need help with something." Maine pulled down his glasses a little and looked at Jacob. The look Maine gave Jacob felt like Maine didn't trust Jacob, "And why do you need help?" Maine asked, and Dyson and Jacob told him everything about what happened to Jacob and what he needed to do, and in the middle of telling everything to Maine, Dorio came with drinks and sat down next to Maine.
"I can understand what have you been through especially Jacob. But Im sorry to say so I cant help you guys." Maine said after Jacob and Dyson finished talking, and both of them were surprised, especially Dyson, who was sure that Maine would help them, "Can you tell us why you can't help us?" Depressed Dyson asked, "We are busy with our business now, we accepted a new member to our gang, and with him, our business is going very smoothly. I want to help you guys, but right now we have full hands. Im sorry." Maine said, Dyson rubbed his eyes and said, "It's alright, we need to find another solution now. Wait, you've got a new member? Who is it?" "His name is David, he had the cyberware I wanted, but instead of killing him and taking the implant from his dead body, I gave him a chance, and he proved his worth." Maine replied and took a sip of his drink, and then his look changed like he figured something out, "I can't help you right now, but maybe she can." Maine send contact of somebody to both Jacob and Dyson, "Who is she?" Dyson asked, "Veronica Stewart, a young mercenary I met not long ago, she is pretty capable of doing anything for the right price." Maine replied.
Maine and Dorio finished their drinks, stood, and Maine said, "I'm really sorry that I can't help you right now, but if you need anything in the near future, you can call me." Dyson also stood up and said, "You got it, man." And they shaked hands and with Jacob too and then they left. "What are we going to do now?" Jacob asked, and took a sip of his drink, which clearly wasn't his cup of tea, so he decided that he would not drink it. "We should call her and work out a deal with her."But the problem is we don't have much eddies." Dyson said, trying to figure out something, "I got an idea." Jacob said, Dyson looked at him and asked, "What kind of idea?" "I can't tell you, but you must believe me, I just need you gun that all." Jacob replied, "Man, you are going to rob something Am I right?" Dyson said, "Are you fucked up in your head, man?! Of course not. Who do you think I am?" Jacob furiously replied, Dyson sighed and gave the weapon to Jacob, and said, "Don't do anything stupid." Jacob grabed his Overture Revolver, "In mean time you call her and meating with her, I will come there with eddies we need." Jacob said, and put Dysons gun to his jacket, and called Delamain to come pick him up. "Alright, Delamain will be here any minute, so I will go first." Jacob said and stood up, "I will call her and set up meating here just call me when you are finished." Dyson said, "Sure, but don't worry. It should be done today." Jacob said and left, on his way, he paid for drinks and went to the parking lot in front of Afterlife, where Delamain was already waiting.
Jacob got inside Delamian, "Greetings Mr. Jacob. Where will it be?" Delamian asked, "To Megabuilding H10, my home." Jacob replied, "Please make sure you have your seat bell and enjoy your ride." After saying that, Delamian started moving, and after some time they arrived, "We had arrived, Mr. Jacob." Delamain said, "Thanks." Jacob said, "Thank you for choosing Delamain. Have a nice day." And Delemain went off. Jacob got in the elevator and called Hiro, "Ah, Jacob, I thought that you had run away." Hiro said, "I'm sorry, but I was not feeling well, so I could not call you. But now Im much better after a my ripperdoc friend gave me a good painkillers." Jacob said so and was obviously lying to Hiro. "I'm glad to hear that. So you can fight now?" Hiro asked, "Yes, thats reason why I'm calling you. I would like to meet up in my apartment and talk about the next match." Jacob said, "No problem, we will meet there. See you later." Hiro said, and she hung up. Jacob stopped at the gun shop that was inside Megabuilding, where he lived, and bought something. After that, he went home, sat down on couch, and waited for Hiro.
