Arasaka's Golden neck (gxg)

2.

For the rest of the day i did some work and then in the evening head to the Lizzie's bar to meet this Evelyn Parker.

"Woah slow down little lady, you can't just barge in." The irony of calling me small when my hight is around 5,9 feet tall. "First the rules. If you want to.... I'm not a customer in your filthy joy toy thing ok, I'm here to meet someone. We're the Mox but alright, enjoy your stay. Thank you." As I stepped in through another set of iron doors strong smell of alcohol and sweats bodies hit me in the face like a punch. I sat at the bar and ordered a whiskey with a little bit of spice to it. "So how's it going today?" asked the bartender. "Pretty good, just a lot of things on my shoulders right now. Mhm, i completely understand everyone have their shit but...sometimes it's just too hard." That is true but this shit is way havier than this little pindge can imagine.

"That's life i guess. So you came here to splash your troubles huh? Actually no, i am here to meet someone. Mind telling where i could find Miss Evelyn Parker? Who's asking? I think that's none of your concern sir, just answer the question. Sorry miss but i can't do that for the sake of all of us. Mhm i see, "I sigh and downed the rest of my drink. "I'll go look after her myself then. " As i stood up a feminine voice next to me said "That's alright André, i am supposed to meet her. Welcome V." She offered me her hand to shake which i did with words "Pleasure's mine, could've say something earlier. I know but what's the fun in that. Right.....fun. We will be in the booth André, if someone asks for us we're not here."

And without any other words she led me to a booth where she lit up a ciggaret and stood leaning on the door. "So you are working for Arasaka. And you're fucking with their boss." She gave me stern look and said "i'm not fucking with him. Oh my apolgies, you fucked with their boss. Indeed i did a few times." She sat next to me comfortably and stayed quite. "Alright enough chit chat, let's talk biz. Why did Yorinobu Arasaka recomended YOU? I'm guessing he still trusts me and my skills. He informed me what's this all about but unfortunately i have nothing."

How's that?" I questioned. "I knew where the Relic was and with who but....everything went to the gutter." I gave her confused look and motioned with my hand to continue. "Who do you think was behind all this hm? Dexter de Shawn and some two guys but why is it important. Dexter's dead and one the guys to." Light chuckle escaped her lips. "I had my part in it to, i knew everything but it was all for nothing when the one guy...Jackie Welles died and his friend ran off with the chip." I put my head in my hands and sighed. "Too much fucking complications. I have an offer for you. Mhm I am listening. You will help me with the Relic and i will pay you double what you would have from it."

Her face made really interesting grimace And it looked like she's deep in her thoughts. "I can't help you find the Relic, I don't have such a time. I don't need you to help me fins it, i can do that myself but i need you to give me the details, everything what you know about it." She looked kinda shocked but hard to tell. "Yorinobu didn't give you the detes? No, he didn't had anough time and said you'll fill me in. I want the money first." My brows furrowed as i said"Half now the other half when biz is done. Alright follow me."

I made quick transfer on her account and followed her. Unfortunately the Relic as a brand new invention is very expesive and by some layers of society unreacheble so you can imagine i put on the table pretty fat stack of eddies. Not that i don't have enough but let's be real...who doesn't like money in their possession. In the mean time what i was lost in my head and partialy listening to Evelyn we apearred in some sort of basement full of computers and editor equient. "Judy. Judy snap out of it. Sorry Ev, was just editting something important what is it ? This is V and she needs our helo as we need hers." She gave me a look and her eyes squinted at me and said harshly,

"You braught a suit in here?! What the fuck Evelyn! Judy calm down she's not here to threaten us. Sure she's not." I cleared my throat to chat their attention "i just need details about a Relic what Arasaka made, that's all. After that i'll be gone. Wait.....i know you from somewhere. You're the Golden neck! My god Ev you really need to fix the list of your friends. What do you mea. You can talk about all this later when im gone, right now i need the informations." My stern voice seemed to scare them a bit but Evelyn put herself together and continued to persuade Judy to help us.
