## Summary

The brave edgerunners went to the 24 Hour Café to meet with fixer and former football star Dan Connolly. They learned that they needed to retrieve a briefcase fitted with a tracker that was stolen from a VIP and that it was to remain unopened. Confident in their task, they left the diner – but not before Ari got a priceless signed autograph from Dan. The team took two vehicles to the address, approaching the dilapidated drug house with confidence. Parking in the front yard, they exited their vehicles and were immediately approached by some strung-out junkies. While the junkies were pestering them, the team negotiated and struck a deal with the junkies where the team would provide some Sour Apple Synthcoke in exchange for making sure their vehicles remained safe.

Approaching the house, they entered the window while making noise. Alerted to this, the gangers and briefcase-holder Nick Vertucci began scrambling to cover their tracks and ditch the house. The gangers were unashamedly mentioning "the feds", believing they had been busted. The team carefully approached while the gangers and Nick Vertucci started to escape with the briefcase. Luckily, they caught the thieves right as they were escaping, and a firefight ensued triggered by a boosterganger's initial shots. Multiple grenades flew, bullets were flying with reckless abandon, and Nick Vertucci snuck out the back door with the briefcase. Vex disengaged from the gangers to tail Nick, landing an excellent aimed shot behind Vertucci's left kneecap - breaking his leg on the spot. Vex managed to get in just in time to fight Nick as he peeled out. Tools and Ari were fighting off the remaining gangers who were covering Nick's escape. Cane snuck out the back, got his car ready, and pulled up right next to the building with an intensely cool maneuver. Ari, impersonating the NCPD, scared off a mook, one-shot another, and then the rest ran off believing the "feds" had backup on the way. After clearing the situation, the team confirmed that the briefcase was with Vex and Nick. They got into their respective vehicles and booked it to Vex's location. Meanwhile, Vex and Nick had a tense back-and-forth brawling match, wrestling for control over the pistol in the car. Nick finally got the better of Vex and threw his pistol out the window, disarming him. Taking matters into his own hands, Vex beat the remaining life out of Nick, but the supercar careened out of control - colliding with a nearby minivan. Battered and bruised but ultimately safe, Vex secured the briefcase and radioed his progress to the team. Everyone met back up while Tools scanned the highway for Vex's pistol, eventually finding it. The team debated opening the briefcase and then wisely decided against it.

They brought back the briefcase to Dan who began violently shaking the briefcase, attempting to find out what was inside. Thankfully, Dan didn't damage the contents inside. Ari and Dan played a little bit of football outside while talking about some of the "behind the scenes" of professional football as the edgerunners parted ways, being paid in full for the gig. Great gig guys, way to roll with the punches. Dan Connolly is still eating at the diner to this day.
