I sat down while Beca sat on the other side. I look through the menu and order waffles and something to drink. a few minutes later a blond girl sits beside Beca and orders too. I look up from the menu and ask.
"Hey, Lucy how are you on this fine day?"
"Pretty good my good sir and good morning, still feeding the homeless I see" " As she looks at Beca
"Bitch you are also making Davy pay for this anyway"
Beca looks back to the menu and makes an order too. we started talking about our last job since Maine asked me to do some jobs with his crew so he could reduce my debt. I agreed to work with him. little did I know how bad these guys are at doing gigs. I did 3 with them two with his whole crew to steal a car from a corpo. It was not that bad except we had to delta out quickly because he put a bounty with the tiger claws but I managed to lose them quickly. the other was about killing some guy their fixer who only later learned his name was Faraday, need it to be zero. But what the Faraday did not tell us, was that it was a corpo with heavy security, I had to activate my sandi to the limit to kill him and get away quickly, and on the way out of the bar we had prepared the ambush, the security team that corpo rat had. destroyed mine and Maine getaway car. we had to fight our way out with bullets while running for our lives.
For the last one, I told them to just let me do it myself, so I can do it quietly. Maine was skeptical but said they were going to be on standby. I only had to ask Lucy for help to hack the system and deactivate the alarms. 20 minutes later I was out with the Militech shard we had to steal from an office full of guards.
I smiled smugly at Maine when I gave him the shard and told him "That's how you do it" he just laughed and we left the area.
As we finish our meal I ask Lucy about the job I got from El Capitan. "Hey Lucy you have anything to do today?". She looks back and says " No I was going to go and grab some money shards from random corpo suckers on the metro and head home"
"want to do it job with me? 6000 eddies for backup on a car theft job on a Maelstrom".
"you want to steal from Maelstrom right now? Word on the street says they are aggressive on everyone who steps on their turf right now because of the war they are having with the 6 street".
"I Know that's why they are paying 15000 eddies for the job".
she laughs and tells me " Ok you work pretty silently so I'm in".
Beca just looks at me, and before she asks. I cut her and say. "sorry Beca but you are not the most subtle to work with, you are more guns blazing type"
she just pouts. I told her that I would call her on more aggressive jobs that need no subtle approach.
Later that same night
Lucy: can you hear me, David?
"Cristal clear"
Lucy: ok comms are upline I need an access point to get into their system and work my magic. just insert that shard I gave you on the roof antenna and leave the rest to me.
"on in"
I jumped from the building I was. Lucy stayed on the second floor since she only needed to have access to their system to take control of the cameras in the warehouse to help me out. I land on the roof of the warehouse and go straight to the access point by the antenna, I insert the shard and wait a few minutes.
Lucy: ok I'm in. I only have access to the cameras and the turrets at the front of the building. you need to find the main access point inside
"copy that" I open the window on the roof and quietly get inside. I land on a walkway by the roof and see that this warehouse is big and they have a lot of cars here.
Lucy: Ok David you see that office on the second floor by the red car.
"yeah, that's our target too."
Lucy: well the key card is probably there, from the cameras I see 2 guys in there so be careful.
I quietly follow the pathway and land on top of the office. I quickly jump down by the door and open it. inside I see one of the guys is distracted with braindance glasses the other is talking to someone through his computer link.
Random gangster: yes I already put the suit in the trunk of your car Roice. fuck why can we just sell it and be done with it already?
Roice: Nah I got a buyer already and he's offering 100,000 for that
Random gangster: All right did you transfer the eddies from the stuff we stole from the 6 Street?
Roice: yeah you remember the access code right?
Ramdon gangster: yeah I know is my name with a 137 at the end.
Roice: dumdum is not a good access code dumbass! change it!.
Dum dum: All alright just chill Roice.
Roice: whatever you fucking dumbass just have it ready for tomorrow. I'll pick it up around 10
The connection is cut and Dum dum goes to the couch with the other dude and puts his braindance goggles on. I quietly look around the room and find the main computer and slit my neuro-link to give Lucy access to it.
Lucy: ok give me a couple of minutes to break the Ice.
"Also try to access their accounts where they keep their money. the access code should be dumdum137"
Lucy: how did you even find the access code? and who uses such a stupid code?
"I overhear a conversation with the second in command of Maelstrom you that guy Roice. and this other guy mentions it."
Lucy: well that's good for us, give me a few minutes. we don't want to be tracked back by this Roice guy, I got to cover our tracks and wipe their systems. while I do that and also get the money and access to the garage doors, you look around for any money shards. gangsters usually have a lot of them from extortion and theft and since this is one of their major bases they should keep a lot of money in them. also, look for the card key of the car.
I look around and find a few hundred addies and a box full of shards and finally, after about five minutes of looking around, I find the key card on dum dum body, I had to knock him out but finally got it with a sweet-looking pistol from him.
as I was looking around Lucy finished getting access to the security systems and told me to go to the car while she made a distraction
Lucy: Ok I have access to the truck in the back I'll crash it into the wall, that should distrack them long enough for you to sneak out with our target. once you are in the car you have 1 minute to leave ill turn off the lights and ill fry their system.
I headed down quietly got in the car and waited for Lucy's signal. 20 seconds later I heard a loud crash and and shouts. everyone runs to the back to see what going on. I looked around as the garage door opened, turned on the car, and left without anyone noticing.
As I drove to the building where Lucy was I stopped and waited a few seconds for her to come out. she jumps in and we drive off to my apartment.
"That was a clean job" I smile and give Lucy the box of money shards I took from the office where dum dum was.
she smiles and gives me a quick peck on the cheek, takes the shards, and tells me how much money we got from the accounts
"100,000 eddies!"
"yup, that's how much I managed to transfer without leaving any traces to track us back."
We laugh and joke around about how mad Roice is going to be as we both head to my apartment and think to myself (well now I can get another car).
