This Fraggin Guy

## Background

Sometimes you find a supped-up car on a good deal. A loan here, a loan there, a payment here, a payment there, all artic. However, when the chips are down, sometimes you make a deal that is too good to be true. Especially if it's cheap. The J was a bit of corpo drone idiocy that got a car from a loan shark, and of course, after it was all paid, had the car jacked for strip and sale. And as we know, suits don't do well against the armed and chromed.

## The Meet

The runners arrive on scene in the barrens, a burnt-out house making the backdrop of the deal. After a tad bit of ranting and raving and false bravado, the client asks for both his car and his money back, willing to pay the cast of the run for returning both, or at least letting them keep the money for the car. The details are clear, Labowski, the loan shark, is located in the Barrens as well with a bar running up in the southside. Money, keys, any means necessary.

## Legwork

The legwork was pretty much non-existent, but when they get to the run location, so precautions are taken. Through the effort of Dreamer, they find a lack of astral in the bar, with plenty of armed goons and the target. They get a good look at everything except the bathrooms, mapping the place out rather clearly. The plan is decided to go quiet through the backdoor and get to Labowski first.

## Run

The squad flanks the left side of the building, Bastet picking the hard lock on the back with a nice high over the threshold thanks to a hand from Habit. Gilly and Dreamer, through magical means and spirit deals, conceal the party through both concealment and through Invisibility. Moving into the backroom, Habit gets the storage room door sealed for two thugs, and the hallway to the main of the bar greased for the other scrappers withing, making any support tasked with the near impossible. Kimchi pops a State of Purity and preps around the corner for the backup, while Habit, Gilly, Dreamer, and Bastet move to Labowski's Office. After getting a boost from Gilly through enhanced Reflexes, Bastet, like a Cheetah after a Gazelle, bounds through the freshly picked office door, pouncing! Bastet gets the wared and twitchy Troll Loan Shark in a clinch, pivoting him around as the monster of a man swings wildly, trying to get a grip on the slippery cat. Dreamer, with the help of his prep, is able to squeeze into the mess, grabbing the troll with a shock glove, and tasing Labowski into unconsciousness. ￼

Tossing through the desk, literally tossing the desk, and through some mind probing, Between the four of them, they get the keys, the cash, some personal information, and some fine vice items. Outside the office, the thugs move to fight. The highlights of the ass-whopping come from Kimchi cracking the skulls of people heading down the slip-n-slide, literally kicking someone so hard that their head breaks through a door, Bastet separating the ball from socket on two different ganger's shoulders, and the brutal punching and kicking of two highly trained martial artists in a tight corridor. As Bastet and Kimchi take care of the dirty work, Habit, Dreamer, and Gilly get the car reading and make sure the coast is clear before the crew departs.

## Aftermath

Returning the cash and car, they receive a case of cash, with a chance bonus for their honesty. Labowski later woke to find his men dead or in agony, his shit missing, and that idiot's car gone. The consequences, thankfully, aren't important to the runners, nor known.
