Bellephon's Summer Home, Saito
"Considering that you won't make it in time if you travel by foot and public transportation is simply not an option for a fugitive, take one of the cars. The coordinates for the Hanging Gardens Casino have already been typed in and best of all, Saito Security will assume that it is stolen. You should have no problem reaching your destination. Now, go. Your target is not one to stay in one place longer than it takes to win the pot at multiple tables and cash out." Bellephon said to John as he pointed towards his garage.

Cat's Tail
John Strange landed his flying car on the roof of the building where Rabbit was waiting and turned the key, the engine turning off after a few seconds. "Shit, man. Are you sure that you were going after card counters? You got shredded real bad up here." John said to Rabbit as he exited the vehicle, Jared Lewis simply staring at the latex clad cyborg. "Let me guess. These are tribute to The Lich. Expensive ones, too. Need any help with these?" John said to Rabbit as he looked at the arms and legs. "Hold up. You're associated with the Silent Devils?" Jared Lewis shouted to John as he stared at him and Rabbit. "Three Toe's got solid underworld connections, which attracted the attention and coffers of the Silent Devils. I am only working for them because once you do one job for them, you're stuck doing jobs for 'em 'til the day you die and believe me, they are gonna do what it takes to kick that can down the road as far as they can. Now shut up and get back in your seat or I will 'accidentally' send you plummeting to the fucking ground!" John said to Jared Lewis, the con man doing as he was told. "Californians." John said to Rabbit.

He nodded and grin “well off to the killing” he said as her ran to the garage and got into the first nicest looking car in front of him “I wonder if the suite will let me keep you” he said with a big grin on his as the car began driving itself.

Rabbit

He laughed a little at john’s joke “sorry to do this, only one I know in proximity” he said as he popped the trunk and placed the cybernetics in “don’t worry much, these cover repair and gear” as he pointed at the cybernetics. He then stared at the guy in car “I’ll be fine for a bit, I need rest” he said as he began getting in the trunk “when you get rid of Scöm, wake me” he then closed the trunk and laid there in the trunk silently.

[Flarbinia]

Saito
The car stopped in an alley behind a hotel, an eighteen story fire escape leading to the roof. "Once you reach the sixth floor, head inside and look for a room overlooking the entrance to the Hanging Gardens Casino. Once you've found a suitable spot, keep your rifle pointed at the front door and wait for the bulletproof limo to arrive. You already know what to do after that. Now, please get out. I have to return to the estate before I am ID'd." The car's onboard AI said to John as she opened the door for him.

[Xichung]

john

He smiled “your quiet the sweetheart, well make sure your boss gets my card” he pulled out his business card and put it on the dash board. “Be safe” he said as he grabbed his bag from the back seat and exited the vehicle. He then looked for the fire escape. He soon found it and pushed a nearby dumpster over so he could get up it.

corpse

He soon went into the counsel room. He was holding his phone out. The lich was on the line “greetings my fellow followers” the voice was extremely electronic “the corpse is getting bored in this time of planning, so give him work, I will return to the net space now.” The corpse ended on the call and soon typed on his phone. He then showed it to them “he is being blunt, but I rather be doing something instead of sitting in my corner” he then turned the phone back to himself and awaited their response.

max “the ripper”

She sat in the park, she was waiting for a contact to meet her, they had some good info on a gang she was hunting. The thing about her contact was that they were over their 80s and liked to take their time by feeding the ducks. She didn’t mind, it just means she can relax more before the storm.

Devil's Ingrown Toenail, High Rent
Cypher entered the council room, several members of the Inner Circle staring at him. "Sorry for entering your little meeting unannounced and uninvited, but you know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't urgent." Cypher said to the Inner Circle before turning his attention to the Corpse. "Our media allies has threatened to leak the stories that they misfiled and buried if we don't pay them double. The kind that must never, under any circumstance, see the light of day. The Lich wants you to remind them that their carrot comes with a big stick and execute anyone who doesn't get the message." Cypher said to the Corpse before leaving.

[Xichung]

corpse

Corpse gave cypher a thumbs up just before he left. He then looked at the counsel and typed a message on his phone then showed it to them “I don’t know why he didn’t just tell me from the beginning, he is odd” he then left. He got his motorcycle just outside the building and went for the news broadcasting station. The top dog a.k.a the boss is the one that controls all the news that goes through the broadcasting stations. Nothing goes on through without his say so, he will be the informant for the corpse. He will let him know the one on the devils payroll that’s trying anything if it isn’t the boss himself. He plan to make a display of the man and to put the others in line, so they won’t try it again anytime soon.

max

She began to nod off but was startled by the roar of a motorcycle. “Damn, that old fool better not have forgotten about me” she said slightly annoyed. She got up and right as she did, she saw the old man coming over. “About time, I was about to see if you died yet” she said jokingly to the old man as he just laughed. He was hobbling over a bag in one hand and a very expensive looking cane in the other, everything else about him was what a generic old person would look like, but max knew well he was still at his peak, he was only acting this easy to throw people off. She soon sat back down just as the old man arrived.

john

John had reached the top in no time and had gotten his gun together in seconds. He then found the spot where he wanted to set up. It was going smoothly and almost perfectly. He didn’t like it, nothing should be like this he knew well. He had enough time to set up a decoy sniper. So he did as fast as possible, right as he finished the limousines began showing up. He rushed to his position and loaded the round into the gun, he waited for his target, one that he didn’t like thanks to the low info. He had only one shot and he couldn’t miss, he did endless calculations to ensure he didn’t fail, whoever he shot was not gonna have a head when he pulled the trigger.

[Flarbinia]

Fisk Park, Little Italy
"It's about time you showed up. Sorry I can't give ya any more, but they'll find out if I keep diggin'. Here's the skinny: some big shot from the Dominican Republic is meeting with some Rastafarian gang from Vegas to sell them some new super drug that is going to kill the Heroin trade. He won't be in town until next week. The queen kicker is that his trucks are already rolling into High Rent to distribute it to the dealers." Jed, referred to as "Old Coot" by the criminal underworld, said to Max before getting back on the last of the Harley Davidsons and driving off, the words on the back of his vest reading "Hell's Angels".
Saito
"Big and Tall" Roth exited the Hanging Gardens Casino, casino employees carrying his winnings to his limo in large briefcases. His expensive white suit, indigo tie, and diamond cuff links sealed the deal when it came to making people think that he was just a high roller who exercised a lot. This was not the first time that he had gotten into a fancy casino by presenting himself as a member of high society, using part of his ill gotten gains to buy the right forged documents. As far as he was concerned, his ability to shape shift made him untouchable enough to continue the process until he was old and gray.

[Xichung]

max

She smirked “they don’t make em like they used to anymore” she said to herself and laughed “alright, time to put these guys down” she soon walked Ron her car, a sleek vehicle with a black paint job and bulletproof tinted windows. Her car was designed to survive a gang shooting if need be, she nicked named it roach because of how nearly indestructible it was. She got in and started the engine, listened to it purr for minute before she took off to high rent to see this drug for herself.

john

He saw his target and he smirked “for someone who likes to blend in, you stick out like a soar thumb” he laughed a little and soon took a deep breath to steady his shot. One shot was all he got and all he needed. He already done the prep work and now pull, the gun soon fired and the Anti-material round turned the man’s head into a fine red pace, spraying all over everyone around the guy. He took apart his gun as fast as possible and put it in its bag, he then left via the fire escape. He soon used the alley way to get to a bar that was mercenary owned. A luxury bar he used to go to when he was a part of his old mercenary company. He used to come when he had a big pay off and he wanted to party a little, he would take his best friends out with him.

[Flarbinia]

High Rent
Jasiel "The Butcher Of Bermuda" Rodríguez sat in the trailer heading into High Rent, his Škorpion at his side and fully loaded, the crates secured in place. Most trucks that headed into High Rent usually contained narcotics and the local junkies would not hesitate to attack one if they think they can get away with it. The shipment he was guarding was only one of five heading into High Rent: two entering the district from the north, two entering from the west, and one entering from the south.
Gilligan's Bar, Saito
"What the Hell are you doin' here? Security has your face on every Bounty Screen in the city and of all the places you could've went, you came to the nearest bar full of hired guns." Gilligan, the bar owner, said to John as he threw his car keys to the assassin, the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and assassins staring at John, their hands reaching for their holsters. "You have five seconds. Make them count while you still can." Gilligan said to John as he pressed the silent alarm, bulletproof glass coming down from the ceiling, crushing several mugs on the bar counter, the booze soaking the bronze.

"You have some guts to text me during the wedding of Don Sulla's daughter, Corpse. This had better be damn important." The Top Dog texted to Corpse while standing on his mansion's pewter plated silver balcony in his imported silk tuxedo and puffed a genetically modified cigar. The power he held as the media's De Facto Boss Of Bosses practically made him untouchable to the criminal underworld, as any attempt on his life would lead to an investigation that would reveal all the dirty laundry he swept under the rug on behalf of its movers and shakers. However, the Silent Devils always came to him for information and he always repaid the favor in full.

[Flarbinia]

Saito Security HQ, Saito
"Silent alarm. Looks like our perp has decided to get a few drinks before he leaves. All units move in." Dispatch said to every available Security Guard in the district. "What is it, Cletus?" Security Chief Vickers said to the man who entered his office with the report. "We found him." Cletus replied to Security Chief Vickers as he handed him the report. "Gilligan's Bar? The mercs may be willing to let him leave the bar unharmed out of camaraderie, but the bounty hunters and assassins with the stones to go after a wanted man with a price on their own head won't turn down such a big payday. Sure, they can't make their move while he's in the bar, but the moment he walks out the door, the hunt begins. I have already transferred the money to Gilligan's account so that he can immediately pay whichever hired gun brings the fugitive in." Security Chief Vickers said to Cletus before motioning for him to leave.

He looked at them, his face saying wtf. “The hell happened, last I checked all you mother fuckers have bounty on your head and big ones too.” He said pissed “and that piss head bartender needs to get back out so I can speak with the manager!” He looked pissed and tired “last I checked there was some rules on working in safe zones like this”

max

She began driving alongside the truck on her bike. “Time to bring this to a sudden stop” she shot a chain from her hand and right into the tire and soon ripped the chain back slashing the tire. She had just barely pulled her chain back into safety. The tire soon popped and sent the truck spiraling out of control

corpse

“Well I need information on one of your underlings, they decided to try and release info on the devils” he texted to the boss “so I’m now in your office, expecting you to be here, but your not” He looked around the office “I’m going to make an example of them and why they shouldn’t play the hero.” He texted and then waited for a reply

[Flarbinia]

"I told Victor Hunts, Sierra Gray, and Wu Khan that they shouldn't push their luck with your boss, but they were too greedy to listen. Make sure that the words 'Top Dog says you're fired' is the last thing those suicidal morons see before they kick the bucket." Top Dog texted to Corpse before turning off his phone.
High Rent
The truck slammed into an abandoned store. "What the fuck?" The driver said to Billy "Eagle Eye" Crane as soon as their heads stopped spinning. "Whoever they are, I'm puttin' 'em in the ground." Billy "Eagle Eye" Crane said to the driver as he wiped his sunglasses, put them back on, drew both of his Glocks, got out of the truck, and walked outside.
Gilligan's Bar, Saito
"The price on yours is pretty big. Luckily for you, most of us ain't retarded enough to risk getting busted to collect it." Ox, an elderly Russian mercenary who had been spliced with Texas Longhorn DNA, said to John as he and the rest of the mercenaries backed off. "The others may not go after you out of camaraderie or not wanting to get tossed in the Lunar Stockade, but me and my crew have no such weakness. You're only alive because we're not even allowed to draw our weapons while you're in Gilligan's Bar. Luckily for us, the Sanctuary Rule only applies to hired guns inside the bar. Once you leave the building, it's open season on your ass and I will collect what I can get for what's left of you. And be careful who you insult. One word from Gilligan and Giovanni will ban you from every 'Safe Zone' in Saito." Erica The Crimson, a bionically enhanced Norwegian Bounty Hunter notorious for smiling while she dismembered her targets, said to John as she approached walked right up to him with "Quick Draw", "Incinerator 4000", "Komodo Dragon", and Lu Zhang in tow.

[Flarbinia]

High Rent
Jasiel "The Butcher Of Bermuda" Rodríguez sat in the back of the truck as it continued rolling for three hours, only for it to come to a sudden stop, the beeping of the horn quickly being replaced by gunshots and a pair of thuds. Jasiel simply rolled his eyes as he reached for his gun. He unloaded his mag into his attackers the moment they opened the doors and headed outside, reloading as he walked out. The ambushers opened fire on Jasiel, only to be gunned down, the .45 caliber rounds having been stopped by his trench coat's ballistic weave. Once he had dealt with his attackers, he closed the trailer doors, got in the truck, tossed the corpses to the ground, turned the keys, and floored it to his destination.

"Rabbit, you have returned. I hope that you have brought proof of your success. Corpse has been sent to deal with some of our greedier media allies and Max has most likely concluded her meeting with her informant." Cypher said to Corpse as the car parked outside the Silent Devils headquarters, the driver opening the trunk.
Gilligan's Bar, Saito
Surtur, the bouncer for Gilligan's Bar, escorted John to the sports car in the parking lot, placed the keys in the ignition, turned them, activated the autopilot, and shoved John into the driver's seat, the sports car immediately closing its doors and heading to Yokai's Kitchen, Erica The Crimson and her crew exiting the building as Surtur headed back inside. "So Gilligan has given John a head start. No matter. In Yokai's Kitchen, only those with death wishes can hear you scream and believe me, I will make him scream like a little girl before the lights in his eyes go out." Erica The Crimson said to the rest of her crew as they mounted their Hover Bikes and followed the sports car.

“I didn’t even get anything to drink” he said in a sad tone as he placed a few credits in the glove compartment. He then began building his rifle, cause he knew well enough that he was being chased. “The bird wants the worm, but the bird doesn’t know I’m a snake” he grinned as he looked in the side mirrors to see how close they are “anti-material rifle, good for lightly armored or vehicles, but flesh gets shredded all the same” he smirked as he loaded the ten round magazine with high penetration ammo into his gun. He then began whistling ‘ode to joy’ to himself as he watche the mirror waiting for them to appear. They soon appeared and he opened the sun roof and aimed at one of the hover bikes and fired, the bullet going straight through as he ducked back down and chambered another round into the gun.

rabbit

He crawled out the back, the smell of burnt rubber and flesh wafting off him as he tossed the cybernetics towards cypher “the news, check it” he said somewhat exhausted “now fix me, the flesh disgusts me”

max

She soon drove over to the crash, no weapons were visible to eagle eye “hey you guys ok, your tire just popped” she said without taking off her helmet as she smirked, she then saw the heat the drivers were packing “hey, nice guns, mind putting them away”

corpse

He soon remembered the three names and logged into the boss’s work computer and found out where the three worked at and lived, he then logged off and texted the cleaners to meet him at a parking lot for some corpses. He then contacted the three people and told them that he was a silent devils informant and told them to meet at the same parking lot to receive their cash in full. He soon left the building and got in his car and went to the parking lot.

[Flarbinia]

The round hit its mark, decapitating "Komodo Dragon", his body tumbling off the Hover Bike as it crashed to the ground and rolled until it was nothing but a heap of metal. "One less share." Erica The Crimson said to the rest of her crew as they continued their pursuit, "Quick Draw" opening fire on the sports car.
Death's Drive, High Rent
"Do you know who I work for, bitch? You're dead meat, you hear me! Dead fucking meat!" "Eagle Eye" said to the woman on the motorcycle right before opening fire, every bullet hitting its mark.
Getaway Motel, High Rent
"You got the message too?" Wu Khan asked Victor Hunts and Sierra Gray as they exited their vehicles with their bodyguards. "Yes. If this guy's info is legit, we can squeeze the Silent Devils for double what we're already demanding." Victor Hunts said to Wu Khan as he looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the one who texted him about the big scoop. "Why do mysterious informants in this town always choose to meet in shitholes like this? Wouldn't it kill them to set up the meet at a place that is not so dilapidated and depressing?" Sierra Gray asked the others as she stared at the buildings, their windows covered in rotting boards and torn police tape, the doors battered and cracked from multiple police raids, the walls covered in bullet holes from drug deals gone belly up, and grass growing out of cracks in sidewalks covered in the outlines of murder victims. The only indication that the Getaway Motel hadn't gone out of business was the dimly lit neon sign.

[Xichung]

john

He ducked as the bullets riddled the back windshield and shattered it. He used the rear view mirror just above him to find his target. He soon saw them and quickly shot up placing the rifle next to the head rest for stability and shot, the round cutting through the hover bike and hitting its gas tank, blowing it up.

max

She smiled as she fell down when the last shot hit her. She was wearing her bulletproof vest, just in case this would happen. So now she played possum as dye packs spilt fake blood.

corpse

He soon texted them “thank you for coming, sorry for such a horrible spot, but the cops tun a blind eye on such things” he soon drove up right in front of them. A slick black car with a bunch of Japanese writing on it. He stepped out of his car with a case, it carried his gun, but they didn’t know. He pulled out his phone and texted them “greetings, I’m the informant and this is the cash” he then held up the box but not giving it to them “I’m assuming your the ones threatening us?” He kept a tight grip on the box and waited for their response

[Flarbinia]

Saito
"Shit. We lost 'Quick Draw'. Double pay to the one who shoots out the tires." Erica The Crimson said to the others as the sports car crossed into Yokai's Kitchen, Lu Zhang getting close enough to hit his target. He pointed his pistol at the rear tires and pulled the trigger, both bullets hitting their mark.
Death' Drive, High Rent
Eagle Eye walks up to his target and fires off a couple more rounds to make sure she is dead. Once he is satisfied, he walks back to the truck, pistols in hand.
Getaway Motel, High Rent
"Didn't know they were sending a mute zombie. As for your question, silence gets expensive when the cops are tightening the screws on everybody. You can't blame us for wanting to save our careers." Victor Hunts said to Corpse as he stared at him, the bodyguards keeping their guns trained on him. "Hand over the box. Lich better not have gotten cheap on us." Sierra Gray said to Corpse, her voice filled with thinly-veiled rage. "Why do you always take these things so personally? This is a business transaction and I am sure it is enough to keep certain secrets buried." Wu Khan said to Sierra Grey in an authoritative tone before turning his attention back to Corpse.

[Xichung]

john

Lu Zhang soon received a shot to the head making his head turn into a fine red mist. The tire began filling with a rubber gel, the tire were bulletproof tires, once the sealing began it won’t stop for another ten, preventing any new bullet holes. “Damn the man gave me the good car” he said with a smile as He chambered another round and found the assassin leader and shot the bike out, He then reloaded.

max

She smiled, death won’t touch her yet, she soon ejected her chain in her left hand straight through the heart of eagle eye and the other through the head. She had gotten up and quickly pulled him in with the chains. The gun was still in his hand, but not for long as she pulled out the chain in his heart and grabbed the gun with her left. She then walked to the passengers side and got in, pulling the Corpse in with her. She pointed the gun at the driver’s head and spoke “if you want to live, answer a few questions” she said calmly, making sure to watch his movements

corpse

He texted “then let me show you the cash” he texted to them. He pocketed his phone and unlatch the case, he then opened it towards himself he grabbed his gun while still in the case and looked at the guards. He had the shot now, he tossed the case at the left guard making him flinch and not fire quick enough. Corpse fired two into the right guard’s head and did the same for the left, and middle killing them all in a split second . He then shot the three in the knees to prevent them from running or trying to escape. He then pulled up his phone and showed it to them “you have been warned and now your fired” he then killed them except for Sierra Grey, he kept her alive to question and later torture.

High Rent
"Do you know who my boss is? Everybody in this shithole may be afraid of you and your associates, but everyone from San Juan to Houston is terrified of him. Nobody's going to cross him for you." The driver said to Max before he placed a CZ 75 to his head and pulled the trigger, ending his life in a matter of seconds.
High Rent
Jasiel "The Butcher of Bermuda" Rodríguez arrived at Junkie's Drop, a series of decrepit tenements that served as a drug den and brothel, complete with a laundromat with a backroom full of loan sharks and mob bookies. "Where are the others? Eli was told to expect five trucks, not one." Wolf Kruger, the legal owner of Junkie's Drop and second-in-command to the local drug lord, said to Jasiel as he and the drug dealers approached the truck. "I got jumped by some gangbangers. They must have gotten the others." Jasiel said to Wolf Kruger as he got out of the truck and handed the keys to one of the drug dealers, Wolf Kruger handing him the money.
Yokai's Kitchen, Saito
"You killed my crew's demolitions expert and ruined my fucking face! I am going to enjoy peeling you like a fucking onion!" Erica The Crimson said to John as she got up from falling to the pavement, her bionics exposed beneath the torn flesh and skin, Incinerator 4000 picking her up and heading towards the sports car. Once she was in range, she leaped on top of the speeding car and extended her talons, the blades piercing the car roof.

[Xichung]

john

He smiled as saw the talon and aimed right where the chest was as he used the side view mirror to help him better guess while he was laying down. “Hey stupid bitch, I have a fucking Anti-material rifle!” He yelled right before he fired a round that ended up piercing through her chest and out her back. The magazine was empty, but that was soon fixed as he reloaded in record time, he had the vantage the whole time and they didn’t know. He knew well how to hold a position from multiple hostile and do it like it was nothing, a man worth his cut.

max

She sighed and called the agent she was working for, “yo, my truck is secure but the guys killed them selves...” she said as she pulled the guy off her chain and removed her helmet “...I’ll see if I can find info on where they were heading in the truck” she searched the corpses for info along with the truck as she waited for a response for special agent conwell

[Flarbinia]

Yokai's Kitchen, Saito
Incinerator 4000 continued his pursuit, leaving Erica The Red to bleed out on the street, logic dictating that collecting the bounty was more important than going back for his crew's dying leader. Normally, this case would have ended with the target dead and Gilligan paying them for their trouble. Unfortunately, their recent winning spree had made them lazy and complacent, too many easy marks over the course of a single year causing their skills to become rusty and dull.
Ingsoc Security HQ, Police District
"If the Dominicans are moving drugs into High Rent, that narrows down the list of drug lords who can afford their new product to two people: Eli Goldstein and his rival Blaire Hughes. Unfortunately, since we don't know which one cut the deal until the drugs are on the streets, we can't make a move on them. Let Ingsoc Security handle the investigation. In the meantime, we have something big to keep you occupied. K-9 Unit stopped a suspicious truck heading out of Chinatown and searched the trailer for drugs and weapons. What they found were women chained up. All on the Missing Person's List. All brainwashed to obey the highest bidder. We've suspected that Shengong Nail Salon, Bail Bonds, and VR Clinic was a front for the Shang Raiders' illicit business dealings, but the only ones we knew about was the gun running, drug trafficking, and murders for hire. Problem is that we need more evidence in order to send him back to Goliath Penitentiary on that charge. As someone working the beat in High Rent, you must have heard of the Jade Cobras? That Snakehead gang has been operating out of the Naga Club for years, but OGCPD has only been able to catch the small fish. You have been authorized to tap their communications. The package has already been sent to your place." Special Agent Conwell said to Max.

Devil's Ingrown Toenail, High Rent
"Rabbit. Now that your repairs have been completed, it is time for your next assignment. Your target is Simon Galt, the director and star of the upcoming spy film "Corsairs of Mercury", who sees the project as the chance to launch himself back to stardom. However, his perfectionism and rampant disregard for the budget has placed Blue Moon Studios on the verge of bankruptcy. Despite this, he refuses to wrap up production and to pour salt into the wound, Blue Moon Studios cannot fire him without being sued for violation of contract. They have asked us to have Simon Galt suffer an "unfortunate accident" and considering the actor's insistence on doing his own stunts for the sake of realism, there are plenty of opportunities for you to do the deed without being caught on camera. The Fortress Infiltration scene is being filmed in Miami. I have already made the travel arrangements." Cypher said to Rabbit as he entered the room and pressed a button, the holographic image of a man with stubble on his face appearing from the projector, the markings on the sunglasses indicating that he had his retinas replaced with Heimdall Mark IVs, advanced bionics that allow a person to see on the Infrared or Ultraviolet Spectrum, the kind of technology that would be useful if you were filming a scene in a dimly lit corridor.
