I put the chip on a port in the computer and left the room jumped from the second floor sneaked past the lone guard and left the office building.
I called PADRE " The chip is in the computer in the office on the second floor" I waited a few seconds and he said " Great job kid and as quiet as a ghost, not many mercs like to work quietly but you have a talent for it. The contract is closed. I'm sending your eddies now". I see a transfer of 1600 eddies to my account and smile. " Thanks, Padre just let me know if you have more work for me". "Will do kid. And keep up the good work". The line goes quiet, and I drive back home.
I open the door and go straight to the bath after I turn on the TV and relax. It has been 3 weeks since the first job Padre gave me and honestly, I got more money raiding the scabs bases than the money I get from Padre's jobs. I have only done 7 jobs for Padre, and 5 of those are all just delivering something somewhere. The last 2 were a bit tricky though, for the first I had to sneak into a house to steal a cat (some poor choom got kick out of his apartment by his input (that's how people refer to girlfriends in the game) for cheating and the bastard was sad because he misses his cat, so padre send me to steal it quietly) the last one, was to sneak into an office and put a chip in someone's computer without setting the alarms and not leaving any evidence.
Well, it will take me some time but at least I'm making money. now I have over 30000 eddies. I'm planning to upgrade and buy better weapons and get a better chroom. The ones I got from Vik are the cheapest. Also got to do my weekly check for my sandi, since Vik and I talked about increasing the limiter to 50 percent on the sandi the last time I went to his clinic to pay my deb. and all of a sudden I hear a scream from a girl to her brother about spending all their money on a whore, and then something breaks in the wall next to mine. well, the review for the apartment did say the neighbors were loud.
3 days later I got a call from Padre about a serious job with good pay so I got up from the table after finishing breakfast. opened the door of my apartment and almost knocked on the girl who was passing by the hallway. "Sorry did not see you there". I looked at the girl for a second. I'm Godsmack, blonde silver hair, gray rainbow eyes, and a body to die for. her eyes glow for a few seconds and just smiles at me and says "Is ok" waves bye and knocks on my neighbor's door. I turn around and leave(dang what a beauty).
3 hours later I'm outside a dojo waiting in my car across the street for a text and a few seconds later I get the map of the building (man I need to learn how to hack into networks. I had to ask Padre to get the blueprints of the building). I studied then and I found a window on the roof that I could use to get in.
Padre's job was to rescue a netrunner who got captured by the Tiger claws. I found a dumpster in the back and used it to climb to the roof, from there I went to the roof and thankfully the window was easy to unlock, I climbed down and looked around. ( I land by the stairs that lead to the basement) I peeked through the door and saw two guys smoking by the basement door. I see the emergency door half-open with only a stick holding it open. I grab a random bottle of medicine, drugs I don't know or care about, I aim and toss it just in the right place to knock the stick and the door closes the 2 guys look to the door and I activate my sandi and move pass them and into the basement without them knowing. in the basement I found the runner tied to a chair unconscious, I untied him and slapped him a few times. he woke up after the 3 slaps." ugh what? who?. who are you? I'm not telling anything." I put my hand on his mouth to shut him up." shh! I'm here to get you out" I whisper, he looks shocked for a second but then asks" Who sent you?"
"padre" he relaxed and then I told him to follow me.
upstairs I raised my hand to stop him. took a look and saw no one, I signaled him to follow but just as we were about to leave through the emergency back door 3 Tiger claws spotted me and in that instant, I activated the sandi at max, and move and slice all three of their necks with a knife I carried with me. a second later they all fall and I quietly move their bodies to the dumpster.
after that, we managed to get to my car without anyone else seeing anything. I called Padre and explained what happened. He just asked me if anyone or any cameras saw me, I told him not I doubled check before I entered the building, and the only cameras they had were in the front lobby and the main dojo inside. besides those 3 Tiger claws, who I killed no one saw anything.
"Good job kid, clean and efficient. I'll mention your name around so you can get more jobs from other fixers" I smile and answer.
"Thanks, Padre but can you do me a favor"
"What it is Kid?"
"Can you tell them an alias instead"
He laughs and asks " What is your Merc name then?"
I smiled and said "Ghost".
