For David everything that happened was in slow motion, but for Lucy it was the opposite, as soon as the shard ejected, the guy she tried to steal it from, appeared next to her grabbed her wrist.

"Huh!?"

She said as her eyes widen, then she grabbed David's hand and pulled him to the side.

"So what's your angle spill it!"

"My what?"

"What do you want? You know my work"

"Lady, you just tried to steal my shard, I couldn't just let you have it"

The Lucy placed her hand hand on David's face.

"Do I know you?"

"Nope, never met in my life"

Then Lucy tried hacking David to see his personal information, but.

[Hacking Attempt: Repelled]

"What? You netrunner?"

"Nope, I'm a nubie edgerenner, and that's a Segway into my next question, wanna work together?"

Lucy was skeptical of David being a newbie, he did resist her hacking attempt.

"Oh? How can trust you?"

"David Martinez, that's my name, I am an Arasaka academy drop out, look up the records of Arasaka students"

And indeed David was telling the truth

"A drop out, but a full marks student, why did you drop out?"

"I'm not rich, and my mom worked night and day to pay for the school tuition, but there is only so much a single mom can take"

"And now you need the ED'S, fine let's work together, follow me"

The David followed Lucy as they started walking to the other transit car.

David then asked a question.

"So, what's my cut?"

"Will spit the prize 80/20"

"60/40"

"70/30 and I'll pay as soon as the job is done? Hmm how does sound? Oh and il Lucy By the way"

"Perfect, now let's make some money"
