No One's POV:

Stanley: HELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOO there NightCity!

The morning had just broken over NC and the group consisting of Jackie, V, and Yn were all walking down the street figuring out what they were going to do for the next jobs. Jackie excitedly danced around saying they were going to score big all the while making a fool of himself. V and Yn just laugh at his antics.

Stanley: Stanley here with ya and we got another day ahead of us in this city of dreams.

The group walked into Jackie's apartment where his mother was doing some cleaning. Guadalupe stops what she's doing and greets them. Jackie tries to grab some of the food but Guadalupe smacks his hand. The group laughs as Jackie and the group head to Yn's temporary room.

Stanley: Oh, I love this town! Love it like you might love a mother who popped you out on the steps of an orphanage once and now stops you to ask if you got a smoke for her!

Yn then could be seen in a nightclub. He and Jackie were there to steal a briefcase full of valuable documents from a corpo underling. A mox girl winks at him as she leaves the booth. Yn goes in and tries to grab the briefcase but the corpo wakes up. In a moment of panic, Jackie knocks the guy out with a solid right hook. The two then bring it back to the Valentinos. Padre was pleased with the success of the job and rewarded the crew heavily for their job well done. The crew celebrates with a few beers.

Stanley: Every new day here means a hundred new arrivals! But only half these gonk's survive a year. And that's if it's a good one!

V could be seen buying a new car. Jackie tried to get Yn to get one as well but he insisted on staying with the wheels he got.

Stanley: And why do these peeps come to NC? Well, to be street samurai like Morgan Blackhand and Weyland Boo Boo!

Jackie takes Yn to meet his girlfriend Misty. Yn thought it weird that with all the charms and insense but she seemed like a sweet girl. Vic was next on the list. Jackie and V had been coming here to get cyber implants for years. To them, Vic was part of the family.

Stanley: The greater the risk, the bigger the bounty, kids Or so they say...

V was chasing a man across the city center. He had a decent bounty on him. He dashes down an alleyway. Like a bat out of hell Jackie comes from a side alleyway and body slams him into a dumpster. Yn picks him up and the three go to collect their cash.

Stanley: But you can only be a major league player for so long. The faster you live, the faster you burn out-- if you don't get a bullet in the brain first!

The trio was not dancing in the Afterlife. Drinks in their system as they partied the night away. Then two punks from a rival gang approach them. Before Yn could get a word out he knocked to the floor. Jackie and V tried to fight back but they overpowered him. Yn tried to get up and help them but was knocked over the head with a beer bottle. V was then looking in a mirror as the two boys were nursing their wounds. Yn tosses V an ice pack. V then slams her fist into the sink.

The scene changes with V quicking in a door to a gang hideout. The trio surrounds a group of gang members. None of them didn't have time to draw their pieces. V walks up to the leader and puts her gun to his head. She then snatches the credit chit. The three then pack out and leave before reinforcements can arrive and overwhelm them.
