I've been seeing a lot of arasaka vehicles around lately, mainly in north oak. One almost fucking ran me over yesterday. These fucking corps have no regard for human life. They have been parking their fucking vehicles in random spots and provoking citizens for no reason. They shot some rando because he got to close. They are fucking crazy. Since they wanna play it that way I'll give it back 100 times worse. You don't fuck with my city and get away with it.
"I'm loving this plan, V. You know you're starting to remind me of me, 50 years back." I decided not to respond. I'm already fired up, I don't need him to be too.
I went to a weapons shop in kabuki, knowing They would have exactly what I wanted: Grenades, explosives, ect. I made small talk with the seller as I was looking at everything. In total I got about 15 grenades and a shit ton of semtex. I pulled up Dum dums contact. He answered after the first ring.
"What do you want?"
"So I have a plan meet me in north oak at the columbarium. We are gonna blow shit up."
"Alright I'm in. Be there in 20." He hung up and I called my bike and drove to north oak.

I was waiting by a the entrance, explosives in hand and a smirk on my face. I saw dum dum pull up next to me.
"So what's your plan?" Dum dum said as he took a hit of his s-keef. He held it out to me, offering for me to take a hit.
"Nah man I'm good. So the plan is to blow up a bunch of corp cars and watch all their shit go up in flames." I showed him the explosives and he gave me a huge grin.
"Hell yeah! Let's do this shit, V." We traveled all over north oak and planted the explosives under corpo cars. We took cover, still having a clear view of the bombs. Johnny materializes next to me, looking extremely happy.
"Oh man if only I was alive. I could blow all this shit up." Johnny gives a little laugh as I hand dum dum the button to detonate them.

"On three. One..."

"Two...."

"Three! Now dum dum!"

I was cleaning up my apartment when the news came on.
"Goooood evening, night city! Hope you all are having a wonderful day. An interesting story about a cyber psycho in kabuki earlier. About fi-"
The reporter got interrupted by a breaking news flash.
"Breaking news here. Reported minutes ago, explosives go off in north oak. Sources say that a maelstrom member and a solo mercenary were the cause of it. No building were harmed. About 15 arasaka vehicles got destroyed, Some corps getting injured from the blast. What was the reasoning for the attack? Are we all safe during these trying times?"
The reporter cut to a clip of a very familiar blue haired girl and a maelstrom member placing bombs under the vehicles.
"God she's such a dumbass." I stop what I am doing and shove my shoes on and grab my vans keys. I call V and she answers right away. I notice she is trying to keep herself out of frame of the video.
"Valerie Greyson."
"Uh yeah babe what's up?" It sounds like she is running and I can hear yells in the background.
"Oh shit." She whispers as I hear bullets ricocheting off of something.
"V what the hell did you do? Blowing up corp vehicles. Are you fucking stupid."
"Oh you saw that huh? Well can we continue this in like 30 minutes? I'm literally trying not to flatline right now."
"Nope not happening. I'm picking your ass up. Where the hell are you?"
"Um in north oak. Sending location. See you in a sec." V disconnected the call.
I got her location seconds after and started my van and made my way to V.
———-
Oh shit oh shit oh shit. She used my full name she is pissed.
I finally got away from the corps chasing me. Dum dum managed to sneak away at the right time leaving me to deal with the aftermath. I just gotta wait here for Judy. Oh god she is gonna fucking kill me.
"Well that's what happens, V. I told ya not to pursue this relationship. Save yourself all this time. Now you're gonna have an angry output on your ass." Johnny started laughing at me.
I ignored him and used my phone as a mirror to see the damage on my face. A couple corps managed to get a couple good hits on me. I had a black eye, a bloody lip and a cut on my head.
"Ya know. You better start writing your will now. Judy is gonna kill you. You heard how pissed she was. This is gonna be hilarious. I wish I had popcorn." I just flipped Johnny off.   After a couple minutes of trying to calm myself and relax I hear,
"Valerie. Where the fuck are you?"
"In here." Judy finally found me and walked up to me and whacked the back of my head.
"Ah hey easy. That hurt." I rubbed the back of my head. I saw Johnny laughing his ass off.
"You are so stupid. I'm glad that hurt because I'm mad. You don't do stupid shit like that. I can't lose you, gonk. Now you are gonna have corps on your ass for a while. Let's go." Judy roughly grabbed my arm and dragged me to her van. I got in the passenger seat.
"Look I'm sorry but you gotta admit it was fucking cool."After saying that judy slowly turned to me, her face stone solid and her eyes full of anger.
"Oh shit. Wrong thing to say, V." Johnny said still laughing as he disappeared. I would be laughing but imma bout to get my ass beat by my girlfriend.
"Cool? You think that was cool. Valerie, you are so fucking reckless." Judy started to punch my arm. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
"You."
Punch.
"Are."
Punch.
"A."
Punch.
"Fucking."
Punch.
"Gonk."

"Hey hey hey easy babe." I grabbed her fists before she could continue her assault.
"Look I get that was the wrong thing to say but I am sorry. I was acting out of anger with the bombs. I think I'm still pissed about the fact that Araska fucking killed Jackie and I wanted to get revenge on corps. I just wanted something. Some type of win."
Judy's eyes softened at the mention of Jackie, knowing how much he meant to me.
"I understand, V. Just don't put yourself in harms way like that. Now let's go back home, you look like shit." Judy started the van.
"I love you, judy."
Judy raised an eyebrow and said,
"You're not getting one back, I'm not saying it, I'm still mad at you."
I just laughed as we drove back to Judy's.

Number one rule.
Don't do gonk stuff that judy can find out about. A mad judy is an unhappy judy. And an unhappy judy is a hurt V.
