Trudel-hag spoke truly: the car is red, and it’s parked out front. Right out front, in a taxi-only zone. Either somebody’s got a much better handle on predicting my actions than I’d really like—all odds say it’s Argent—or I’m under surveillance, electronic, meat, magical—or all three. Can’t say I like either option worth drek. The car, however, is enough to make me feel marginally better. It’s a Eurocar Westwind 2000, the 2054 model. A rag-top, which means it’s got the turbo engine and performance suspension package. Just short of 150-K nuyen worth of high speed and high performance—and somehow I get the feeling Argent bought the fragging thing instead of boosting it. Once again I find my image of shadowrunners isn’t exactly on the money.
