## Summary

The edgerunners were hired by Night City Vice to find out why Atomic Blonde agents Paloma and Craig Daniels were in Lake Tahoe and to try and win the Lake Tahoe High Rollers VIP Baccarat Tournament. They were given free loding for five nights at the Grand Lodge under false identities. They were provided clothing for any of the VIP events that, as participants in the tournament, they would be invited to. They were given the keys to both Ferraris. On their way to Lake Tahoe the edgerunners were intercepted by two tilt-wing attack aircraft (helicopters). The edgerunners managed to shoot one of the warplanes down and the Testarossa suffered minor damage from the other two, but after a single strafing run the aircraft realized they couldn't keep up with the speedy Ferrari's and Sanaa's mech and broke off pursuit. On the final leg of the journey the edgerunners were passed by Angela Calderone in her own red Ferrari. She winked at E-Gore and Callie in the Testarossa and then sped ahead, challenging them to a race. E-Gore hit the gas, as did Shift in the Daytona Spyder. Shift outrun both the other Ferrraris but Angela beat E-Gore, ducking past a crowd of cyclists just ahead of him. E-Gore and Callie were both smitten by her, becoming fans.

The first night of the tournament found the edgerunners playing against Craig Daniels, Angela Calderone and a mysterious man named Luis Sangre. The edgerunners received free drinks from the Casino, several of them got inebriated, and after a long night of Baccarat Mr. Sangre was determined the winner. They spent the night in their beautiful rooms and gained humanity. The next day they were invited to a VIP picnic at a secluded beach on the lake. There were only two means of getting to it: on horseback, or by speedboat. Callie and Colt went on horseback, E-Gore, Shift and Sanaa by boat, and Uncle Void, terrified of water, stayed home. Angela challenged Callie to another race, a challenge Callie couldn't resist especially because Angela had dressed in what looked like a military uniform. The two horsewomen arrived at the picnic first, and despite having Angela alone, Callie wasn't able to get any information out of the woman. Fortunately, she managed to avoid telling Angela anything too revealing, either. Colt, on the other hand, charmed Paloma and managed to get her to tell her that she and Craig were investigating Luis Sangre. Mr. Sangre was a multibillionaire who lived on the Crystal Palace and had come down to earth for the sole purpose of participating in a series of Baccarat tournaments. More importantly, he was the owner of Treadstone, a former CIA asset that had been sold off when the intelligence agency was privatized. Atomic Blonde was trying to figure out what Treadstone's real purpose was. That was all Paloma was willing to reveal; she offered to tell Colt more if he told her why Night City Vice was investigating Atomic Blonde. Colt honestly didn't know the answer to that question.

Meanwhile, Sanaa, Shift and E-Gore were driving through the heavy boat traffic when they were jumped by assassins in rigid hull paramilitary boats. Caught wearing only their swim suits, Sanaa was taken out of the fight early by a burst of automatic jungle reaper fire that forced her to dive overboard. Shift took over the speedboat's wheel while E-Gore tried to fight off two paramilitaries that jumped aboard with them. Shift was unfortunately killed by another double burst of autofire from the rigid hulls while E-Gore grabbed his body and dove overboard, successfully concealing himself in the silty water and managing to escape. The edgerunners returned to their rooms to freshen up, E-Gore and Sanaa leaving a bloody mess in the washbasin as they treated their wounds. They dressed up for the evening and attended the next round of the Baccarat tournament, hearts heavy with the loss of Shift. Once again they ordered drinks and began to play. When Uncle Void was knocked out of the round early he jumped across the table at Mr. Sangre and tried to choke him. Security responded immediately, dragging him away, but not before Void managed to pocket one of Sangre's burner phones. Suddenly everyone's hearts began to skip a beat. They realized they had all been poisoned. Angela ran, stumbling, to the elevator, desperate to get to her room. Paloma helped Craig Daniels outside and practically carried him to the Austin Martin, where with shaking hands she fished a medical kit out of the glove box. Colt and Callie first saved themselves and then Sanaa with rapid detoxes. Then Colt and Sanaa followed Paloma outside and saved Craig Daniels' life by using one of Paloma's rapid detoxes on him. They then circled around the back and rapid detoxed Uncle Void. Uncle Void and Sanaa worked on cracking the burner phone while the remaining edgerunners returned to the tournament. Unfortunately for them, Luis Sangre won again.

Having won two of the three rounds Sangre was announced the winner of the Tournament and the final round was called off. Having now lost the assassination attempts on the edgerunners ended. Coincidence? Unlikely. Callie tried to approach Angela in the following days but the woman was surrounded by her father's goons, who, after the close call with the poison, absolutely refused to let anyone near her. Night City Vice was extremely pleased with the wealth of data that was on Luis Sangre's burner phone and paid the Edgerunners a bonus. Sanaa sent the same data to Atomic Blonde, cementing her trust.
