2085, Little China
1st part
V was leaning on her car's door when Mr. Blue Eyes' cab stopped before her and the backdoor automatically opened inviting her in. She threw away a half-empty soda can in the nearest trash bin and smoothly slided inside.
- Hello, V, - pleasantly said Mr. B, who sat opposite of her, his eyes shining blue in the dim light of car interior. The smell of his expensive cologne immediately attacked V's sensitive nose. - It's good to see you again.
- Cut the crap, - she answered coldly, annoyance that was boiling in her blood all day finally found the outlet. - I told you to transfer the gigs through Rogue. I'm not your fucking lap dog anymore, do you need me to remind you this in a more convincing way?
- This matter is too delicate to involve the fixer in it, - he stayed calm as he always did and waved at the table that was placed between the seats. - Take this shard.
V picked up the shard among the empty but clean glasses and closed champagne bottle and put it in the slot. The data began to show up before her eyes - name, picture, DOB, relatives, the list of the jobs.
- Who's the corpo cunt? - she asked scrolling through jobs. There was nothing about Night corp, the corpo's current job was Biotechnica, a senior assistant in the research and development department.
- Felicia Josten. She's been our mole in Biotechnica for several years, actually. That's why I need your personal touch here, this information is classified to pass it to someone else.
V blinked.
- Your mole?! - she barked a laugh. - And you reveal me their identity? Holy shit, you're planning to zero me when I'm done, aren't you?
- I was the one who saved you from the painful and slow death, do you think I would waste my effort like this? - Mr. B smiled somewhat mockingly and continued. - To be honest, this request isn't on the Corp's behalf but on mine. Felicia was recruited by me personally so her well-being is my responsibility in this case.
- What happened? She's been made?
- Yes, and the leak was from our side. My people are working on it but Felicia was captured by Animals that work for Biotechnica. Right now she's held at their place in Pacifica where they're probably trying to make her talk about us. I'm sure she still has some time until they decide to get rid of her since it's hard to gather information about Night Corp but I need you to pull her out as soon as possible.
- And you didn't send your people there, why? - V asked pulling out the slot after copying the data.
- I'm not going to endanger any of them to damn Animals and Biotechnica, - he answered with no trace of a smile on his face, his eyes are surprisingly raged. - But I can't leave her there too. So do your job and you'll get your money.
The car stopped right where she was picked up. The door began to open when V turned to Mr. B.
- What if she talked to them? Should I zero her too?- she challenged him with a smirk.
Mr. B raised a brow and looked at her like she didn't know a thing.
- Trust me, she didn't. Now go.
V rolled her eyes and left the car. It was time to fuck shit up.
