It’s just after Noon on a Wednesday when Your commlink chirps. Checking it, you notice that it's a conference call, and you see a matrix icon that resembles the traditional smiley face image, only red and cocked to one side, with little jagged lines resembling tusks on the mouth of the icon. Answering the call, the icon is replaced by a male ork. His face is lined with age; his hair and goatee is touched with grey and a pair of golden datajacks gleam along his left temple. Wire-frame glasses sit upon his nose, the kind that correct your vision, not tinted mirrorshades that make you look badass or even the more modern AR glasses or goggles, but honest-to-ghost reading glasses.
“Hoi chummers!” the ork says with a cheerful grin. “Sorry for the unsolicited call but mutual acquaintances say you might be interested in a bit of biz. If you’re interested, head on over to Underworld 93 tonight at 7. I know you gentlemen haven't been properly introduced- but it's a cakewalk, for real. Anywho, there’s a small concert going on. Let the doorman know you’re there to see MacCallister, and he’ll get you some good seats. After the show’s over, we’ll have a chat and I’ll tell you a bit more. interested?”

"Yes sir. Thank you for the job! You may have started my career!" Jessica said. A rare bit of excitement and genuine estaticness on her face. She usually remained so composed(partially due to her 3 essence)but she wasn't too far gone! Hearing all of this a younger 18 year old coughed in his ramen cup and listened in out of view of the orc.
"I'll be there." She said calming down but still
happy. She hung up and went to to get changed.
"Did he say if he knew you were ex Lone Star!?" The younger male Vexboy, a shadowrunner about 6 months her senior and her brother, called after her.. he didn't get a warm reception his first job. But she had the door closed. "She'll be fine." He decided after a sec. She was Jessica London after all... Jessica milled about nervously... she didn't know what to bring... she figured in the end she might as well bring everything. After doing her hair and adding enough make up to make sure she didn't go in making the impression she looked slovenly and dressing in her signature noir jacket(with her vest underneath a blouse) and put on her fedora helment... which sent a silent vibrating alarm alerting her to her own cyberwear. Again. After spending a moment reconfiguring its MAD scanner she started taking suitcases full of her practial supplies and the like and put them in the trunk of her modified Americar. "Vincent go grab the suitcases please." Vexboy looked at her worried and said. "Um... your not gonna bring these suitcases to the meet are you?" she fixed him an unamused stare. "No I am just moving out. I'm not that stupid. As I recall you went into your meet unarmed." Vexboy winced. That was stupid. He sighed and went in putting the last few in her cars smuggling compartment and shutting the compartment. He then went and gave her a hug.
"Shoot straight. Conserve Ammo. Never deal with a dragon." He said. She was surprised but hugged back. "You know no self respecting Shadowrunner would ever act this affectionate toward anyone." She quipped.
"Your hugging back." He said deadpan. She chuckled a bit and got in and drove off.
-
"yes, do I need to bring anything special? "
If not Slugger will try to find out who is playing, go work out some more, and try to arrive fifteen minutes early.
-
MacCalister cocks his eyebrow as Jessica hangs up. Well that's one happy go lucky runner.
"What? Oh, oh, what to bring to the meet. Don't mind us old guys- just thinking. You don't have 'to pack your bags' if you know what I mean."
-
Jessica will attempt to arrive half an hour early if she can.

“Thanks for thinking about me, I’ll be there” I said - to be honest I really need a break, life have not been very kind for me ever since university. I live in this shithole apartment and the only good things about it are matrix connectivity and a magical lodge. I am a mage, a mystic actually not that I ever knew how to use these skills efficiently - otherwise I would not have been in this joint to begin with. My apartment is a shithole, an old school converted to cheap apartments and a junkyard a sad place really and without this phone call I might lose even what little I have. Still there is job and perhaps it is time to expend some of my possessions,
A run, but what to do? all my possessions are some reagents - there is sometime enough gaming I need to prepare. I summon bodyguard - there might be criminals over there. She is a fire spirit that refers to herself as Firefox - it was hard to capture the laughter if only she knew about the ancient web browser she’d look for some other fake name to give me.
Binding Firefox was expensive and taxing - but I am a kinky girl - I wouldn't have her any other way. It is late afternoon when she finally agreed to serve me, does she have to argue so much?
I set my clock to 18:00 hit the shower and rest. My heart is pounding - losses are piling up and so far just my personal security required 100 reagents third of what I had, 2,000 nuyen at a talismonger - was it worth it? I know I’d never go to meet criminals like myself without spirits.

20 minutes before the mirror and I get 40 minutes to get to the club, my criminal alter ego is called Elizabeth Sky - the name of my fake SIN and she does not look like me at all. A salish native american semi primitive shaman. She is, I do not need makeup my skin color and body size changes to will and today I am impersonating my evil roommate. Elizabeth sky, my dark hair is now light brown and my skin is darker, I appear to be human and slightly taller. Lizzy is ready to rock! I say as I head to the meeting, a concert? This sounds like a wild night.

Frank McMiller stared across the street from the small coffee shop he was sitting in. The man he was to meet was 2 hours late. Frank had already written the meeting off as a no show but the coffee was real so that counted in Frank's book as a reason to sit and wait for a bit. He just couldn't get the break he needed in hunting down his old partners killers.
When the comm beeps Frank listened to the orc and nodded, "I'll be there." Frank kept his side of the conversation voice only. He'd have to decide what face he wanted to present before the meet.
Considering the meeting a bust, Frank tips the Barista and heads out of the coffee shop and looks around the small shopping center to see what was available. He'd want to grab a few things before heading to the meet tonight. He looks down at his current attire. Even though it was a nice business suit and trenchcoat, it was not appropriate for the club tonight. He shrugged. He had plenty of appropriate things at the loft, but having something new to impress wouldn't hurt. So the rest of the afternoon was spent shopping, before he had to head back to get ready for the meet.
I screwed up at character creation so Frank will spend the time before the meet getting a set of contacts w/ image link, earbuds, a subvocal mic, and a pair of AR gloves. Spending 475 nuyen plus whatever markup.
Once he made it back to the loft he'd take his time getting ready as his alternate persona Johnny Smithers, an aging businessman out on the town. His clothing would be impeccable, he'd clean himself up, not a hair out of place.
Frank will show up 20 minutes early

18:30 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
Jessica arrives with plenty of time to spare.
Underworld doesn’t really look like much from the outside: a simple
ferrocrete building that looks like it should be warehousing machinery,
not the location of a nightclub. The only distinguishing features
of the club are a simple steel sign outside with the name, and an AR
display that is far more impressive blazing the name of the club in
bright neon lettering along with the club’s logo: Charon steering a
speedboat across the river Styx.. At one time, this was the place to
be for Seattle’s who’s who. The attraction for the place has long since
faded for younger crowds who are always looking for the next big
thing, but the place still retains its reputation as being the place to see
some of the hottest music acts of yesterday and today. Jetblack, Shield
Wall, CrimeTime, DarkVine, Blitzkrieg, the Psychedelic Phlegmm.
All have graced the stage at one time or another, and tonight looks
to be another big name.
There is a sizable crowd outside the building, with a line of people
stretching around the building. A pair of intimidating troll bouncers
wearing expensive tailored suits stand guard at the door, ignoring the
majority of the crowd as if they simply didn’t exist, only occasionally
letting people into the club aft er one of them consults an actual paper
list on a clipboard. One way to make a guest list unhackable is to
write it down. An ARO in front of the building explains the crowd.
Mercurial is doing an unannounced concert at Underworld 93 tonight
at 7:30.

Jessica's jaw drops and suddenly she wishes she hadn't dressed the way she did but everything else was business casual... at least she didn't look like a Johnson... hopefully. He composed herself and checked what she had on her. Yahama in the backlining of the coat holster? Check. My razors work... She flexed them a bit in both hands. I have no other weapons but i should be fine. Jessica parked and walked to the front of the line. "Excuse me. Im here to see MacCallister. Jessica London?" Jessica said composed and keeping her eyes locked on the bouncers.
Hiding Razors (http://orokos.com/roll/357456): 7d6 22
Technically she did it in the car.

18:30 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
The taller Troll looks at his list, grunts to himself, and looks Jessica up and down.
"You got any weapons missy check 'em at the coat counter. You'll get a receipt. You try going thru the detector and it beeps, you ain't get a second chance to check that weapon. We're going to bounce you on you scrawny ass. Got all that? Melinda There will show you to your booth.
Looking over at where the troll's chin is pointed, Jessica notices a human female in a hostess outfit just beyond the MAD Scanner which is flanked by two more trolls in suits. Just before and to the right there's a glassed off room with an intercom and what looks like a slide drawer to send items back and forth. Beyond the MAD scanner is a hallway with some doors marked restrooms (Men/Women/Assisted) and several spiral staircase leading up.
-
At about 18:40 Elizabeth Sky arrives at the club wearing her street-punk type armor jacket and
a white Salish style skirt and a brown top with earth samples. She walks confidently to the scary bouncers and say "I am invited, check the list if you need - Elizabeth Sky, you might remember me from open mike night. MacCallister invited me."
Elizabeth is not carrying any weapon or illegal equipment. Her only shadowy equipment are few reagents that are decorated like a wooden necklace. They are rather unusual but her jacket has actual feathers decorating it so it sort of fits.

Jessica took her Yamaha and put it on the slot. She smiled and said a silent prayer. She stepped through the MAD.

18:31 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
Jessica, having nothing to check, goes thru the scanner which does not go off.
Melissa motions towards one of the staircases.
"Don't fret Larry. He's just mad because his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl are inside and he's outside with Daryl's cousin Moe" Having pointed at one Daryl as she talked she suddenly points at the other one. "Or maybe he's Daryl's cousin. Hard to keep straight- they all look so alike. Except Moe- he's the short one. Well relatively speaking."
After walking Jessica upstairs, Melinda says, "The two bottles of wine are from MacCallister. I'll be taking your orders when everyone gets here."
16:40 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
The trolls looks at his list, grunts, opens his mouth to say something and then looks back to a human looking woman in a hostess outfit. Turning back towards you he says,"Elizebeth Sky. Yes, I see your name. I'm Larry, and back there is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl. And this runt is Daryl's cousin- Moe. Melinda will gladly take you to your booth after you check any weapons at the coat room."
-
Elizabeth grins "Thank you Larry, Thank you Moe. I see that all your family seem to be working in this joint - how is it do you like? " She thinks "Two brothers with the same name - how unusual."
-
Frank finds a somewhat safe-ish,at least as safe as can be found in the area, place to park his car and heads for the entrance to the club.
Frank's dressed to impress in a casual suit. He walks toward the bouncers like he belongs there. He definitely carries an air of authority about him. He waits for The two bouncers to finish with Elizebeth before he takes his turn with them.
"I'm here to see Macallister, names Smithers."
Once he's cleared the bouncers, he'll check his pistol with Melinda and follow her toward the booth.
-
18:40 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
Moe chimes in, "Larry here is not the most gregarious troll. My brother Daryl even less so as is his brother Daryl. But the joints cool wiz even if management ain't much to speak about. Now you get along with Melinda before Larry's head explodes from trying to think of small talk."
As Elizabeth Sky walks into the lobby, Smithers walks up to Larry and Moe. Larry proceeds to check the clipboard and states, "Yes Mr. Smithers, If you check your weapons at the coatroom, Melinda will show you and your associate to your booth."
Melinda waits with Ms Sky while Smithers checks his pistol. She takes them both up a spiral staircase, along several hanging gangways to a booth which is already occupied. Melinda says, "As I told Ms.Long, the two bottles of wine are on MacCallister. When the final member of your party arrives, I'll take your orders."

She smiled at her. "Thank you Melinda." She waited until she left and checked the room searching around. Not noticing anyone until they came.

Elizabeth thanked Melinda and smiled at the lady she called Miss. Long "I am Lizzy" She said simply as she set.

"Jessica London. I hope we work well together." She said milling around the room.
-
Elizabeth smiled and said: "I hope so too, it is a slow month for me, but hey - free wine and Maria Mercurial concert, do you like her?"
-
Elizabeth smiled and said: "I hope so too, it is a slow month for me, but hey - free wine and Maria Mercurial concert, do you like her?"
Yes. I do actually. Sorry if I seem distracted. Kinda nervous. Nervous energy. Her eyes went up the walls and the like. Her tone was toned down but friendly enough.
-
"Should I tell her that I brought Firefox with me?" - Too nervous to enjoy the concert? She said and poured herself a glass of wine, played with it, smelled it and then eventually focused and tasted it.
-
Frank/John followed behind Lizzy in pouring a glass of wine, he offered it to Jessica and would pour another for himself if she accepted it.
"A concert with a duo of lovely ladies. What a wonderful start to an evening." He makes a slight bow, "Let's keep this informal shall we? My name is John."

She mulled over the info for a sec. Then took the glass and watched the show. She took a sip. "Jessica London. Pleasure." She spoke lower. Enough for him to hear at close range. "Have any trouble with the MAD downstairs?"
She checked the whole room. At this point unless there is a man eating lobster disguised as a ficus i think she shouldnt find anything to panic about and thus as i wait for roll results...(no cameras or mics do not measure up as much as lobster.).
-
John looks out over the crowd from their booth. He savors the bouquet of the wine before drinking. He continues talking to the ladies but his eyes are drawn around the room.
He shrugs, "I checked my weapon at the door. So no problems here."
He continues to scan the crowd and the concert. He thinks back to all the concerts he's seen here over the years.

"As did I. Our fixer must be quite influencial. Top row seats at a Maria Mercurial concert. Very nice."
-
Frank leans back, his eyes still scanning the crowd.
"Well he does know how to treat a fellow runner since he was once a runner himself."
-
Lizzy introduced herself and said "I am Lizzy, Elisabeth Sky if you want to be formal." About the wine she giggled "He is a master negotiator like all fixers, happy people do not haggle as much"
Despite having said that she asked "Any of you are the dancing kind? I am too young to watch this show seating down."
-
"Im not but feel free." She got a chirp on her commlink. She pulled it out and saw the message.
From Vexboy to JL<<Hey! Are you dead?>>
"Eloquent." Jessica thought to herself. She then responded back.
From JL to Vexboy<<No.>>
A second later...
From Vexboy to JL<<WHEW! I was worried. I had a buddy of mine... actually my only buddy... drive over to your meet. Lots of people. Your at a fragging Maria Merciual concert!... ok so um... Ill be gone for tonight. Ancients contacted my fixer about a job but it has to be done TONIGHT. Your on your own. I gotta keep my thing quiet so I'll message you when im free... but still message me if your in jam!
Jessica chuckled a bit. Her spaztic little brother didn't seem at all suited for the lifestyle he was pursuing... she focused back on the concert.
OOC: Anyone see Odd? I swear I saw him on off last night.

Slugger walks up to the bouncers at 15 till "I'm here to see MacCallister, name's Slugger"
-
John smiles and offers an arm to Lizzy "And I may be to old to watch it from the dance floor." He does look to be a man in his mid-sixties so he may not be to far from the truth.
He laughs. His smile is contagious. "Not sure we should go to far from the booth without making sure MacAllister doesn't want to have the meet during the performance though."
-
"Mister MacAllister. Ex Runner and now he's giving me a job..."
She checked her two companions and examimed them.

18:50 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
The larger troll grunts at the smaller troll as he begins to open his mouth. Looking at his list, he says,"Welcome Sugger, pleasure. I'm Larry, and back there is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl. And this runt is Daryl's cousin- Moe. Melinda will gladly take you to your booth after you check any weapons at the coat room."
-
"Larry, Daryl, Daryl, Moe" Slugger greets as he walks to hand his combat knife over and follow Melinda.
"ma'am " he says to Melinda when he gets near and nods.
-
18:50 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
While passing thru the metal detector Slugger overhears Larry: "He's good people-not like them other ones." And the response, "Yeah well- you're just a closet human hater and.." "Shut up Moe before you eat my fist." "Whatever."
The woman standing before Slugger, Melinda evidently, gives Larry and Moe the evil eye before escorting Slugger to the booth.
"Now that your party is all here- appetizers and anything on tap is on the house. Management knows your MacCallister's guests but they're cheap. So entrees and mixed drink (anything in a bottle really) come out of your pocket. Sorry about that. Can I take your orders- there's about a half hour before 'she' hits the stage."
-
Jessica smiles. "Do you have anything sweet? Cake perhaps?"She feels her credstick. 1000 nuyen. "I have a thousand on me. Maybe get us each a desert. My first time on these sorts of things. I wanna celebrate."

"I...Ill take 5 for each us." She said almost drooling at the screen. "Id be a demon to make someone choose between any of these. 5x30 is 150x4 is 600." She held up her credstick. "Is there a place I slot this miss?... Oh. Add one natural Fudge cake for 630 total please. But put the extra in a to go box if its possible." She smiled at Melinda non chalantly.
-
18:51 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
Melinda takes the credstick, slots it into her pad and returns it to Jessica.
She thinks to herself, That troll will probably fit it in, but how in heaven are the rest of them gonna put away that much corn syrup and processed soy?
-
"are you sure ma'am? That's a lot of money " Slugger says, but won't object a second time.
-
"are you sure ma'am? That's a lot of money " Slugger says, but won't object a second time.
"Well I mean if you wanna pick just one I wont object." She smiles at him. "Besides. As I said I feel generous. Jessica London."
-
He laughs. His smile is contagious. "Not sure we should go to far from the booth without making sure MacAllister doesn't want to have the meet during the performance though."
"Have it your way then, MacAllister has my number if he needs me more down to earth, you can also call me if I am needed. she said and shared her number. Then Elizabeth heads up to the dance floor quickly blending in within the crowd. "If there is a safe place at all in a meeting with a Johnson it is by just blending in, besides it is an awesome concert."
She thought.
Elizabeth will miss the waitress and would not order anything to eat as she plans to spend the entire show dancing and blending in.
-
"are you sure ma'am? That's a lot of money " Slugger says, but won't object a second time.
"Well I mean if you wanna pick just one I wont object." She smiles at him. "Besides. As I said I feel generous. Jessica London."
Slugger turns to Melinda and says "I'll take the black out cake, thank you. Also, can I see what drinks are on tap?" Slugger then orders the least hoppiest beer. He then turns back to Jessica and says "Thanks for the dessert, my name's Slugger"
-
"Jessica. Jessica London." She extended a hand out to him. "Melinda please put Elizabeth's orders in a box as well."
So 630-120 is 510. Editing sheet.
-
Slugger shakes her hand and says while looking around "One of the nicer meets I've been to, any ideas about the run?"
-
"None. But this is my first time. I don't know to expect." She said with a sigh.
-
Slugger just nods in reply and looks to the other man in the room and says "Name's Slugger"
-
Seeing that the gentleman seems lost in his thoughts, Slugger turns back to Jessica and says "so what's your area of expertise? I'm good at not being seen and soaking bullets "
-
"I am pretty good with a medkit... and I picked up some medical training... I dont know much about medical science but I am capable enough. I really prefer investigations and forensics. If we ever need to analyze something I assure you we are covered... Im good with an eye drone and sniper rifle enough. My little brother is an amazing shot though of the two of us. He has been doing this sort of thing for about 6 months... how long have you been running?" She asks with a small smile.
-
"medics are good. " Slugger says and then thinks for a moment and says " Been on only a few runs, was in military for a few before that"
-
"Military?... Has anyone prejeduced you for it?" She asks with a curious gaze.

18:54 Wed 4May2072 Underground93
Max Duggan has had a bad week. Mercurial was his wife’s favorite singer, so he bought tickets from a scalper weeks ago for four times their value. Three days ago he caught his wife sleeping with his best friend. Yesterday he was fired from his job. Now, he’s at the show alone, miserable, angry, and getting drunker by the minute.
Spotting a young couple sitting at a table near the party's booth, Duggan shoots the boyfriend in a rage, and then grabs the girl and holds her hostage.
Everyone at the booth notices this immediately since it's only a few meters away. Elizebeth needs a Threshold 2 Perception test w/-2modifier to notice right away
-
John's immediately drawn out of his reverie by the gun shots. He takes the first action he can to pull Jessica down out of the way of any more shots. "What the hell?"
Edit:Corrected grammar and Spelling
-
Jessica gives a firey look of determination to Frank. "I have to stop this."She reveals a hold out in her knuckle. She enters smarklink with her holdout plugging her datajack to her hand.
How clear a shot is it? Like are there people in the way that she can see?
-
Frank places a hand on her shoulder to restrain Jessica from doing anything too hasty. He pears over the edge of the booth at the crazed man with the hostage. "You go in shooting and you could hit the hostage... Or you fail to drop that asshole and the girl gets shot.....Either way you fail. We need to talk him down first."

She glared at him showing a look of fire that ran deep... but... she calmed down... "He just... shot that guy... in cold blood... there wasnt... ok. What do you suggest?"
-
Slugger looks around to see what and where things are going down and says "My first thought is I charge who ever is shooting and knock them out, but I'm open for suggestions"
-
Franks drops his head for a second and lets out a breath. This is not how he was planning to spend this part of the night. He looks between Slugger and Jessica.
"I'll appraoch and talk him down. You two watch my back. If things go south, slugger go for the girl and Jessica can shoot the lunatic."
He looks at the two of them for confirmation before he stands up to approach the Guy with the gun. His hands raised out toward the guy to show he isn't armed.
-
Slugger nods
-
Jessica nods her approval and tries to hide in the booth to where she could silently pop one off on him with him focused on Frank.

Frank walks slowly toward the couple. He leaves his hands up and stops about halfway between his booth and the couple.
Frank keeps his voice steady and confident. "We're all here to enjoy the concert. What's going on here to stop all the fun?"

Dugan holds on to the girl tighter and yells, "You stop right there, or I swear I'll blow her frak'in head off." The arm arm with the gun is all over the place, first pointing at Frank, then the hostage, then the crowd, then Frank...
-
Jessica primed herself... she wasnt sure to take the shot yet... she facepalmed. She had forgotten to give Frank a signal to use so shed know when to shoot! She bit her lip and tried to examine him to see how he behaved and why from how he was acting.

Frank stops but leaves his hands to where they can be seen. "I've stopped." He says reassuringly. Frank points on finger at himself, "Name's John...I just want to have a conversation. But it is hard to talk when I don't know you name. What's your name man?"

Anyhow she does not even perceive it. perception -2 (http://orokos.com/roll/358645): 3d6t5 0
but she will not interfere at all with this event there is security and they are more equipped to handle it. She came to this place to meet a fixer not to play a heroine.

"Names Max. What the drek! What does my name matter? I need to get out of here- now! Oh drek, oh drek, oh drek,"
-
John nods when he gets the name, "Max I need you to listen to me....Max this is getting serious and everyone just needs to take a second and calm down." He points at the guy that Max has just shot. "You need to tell me what's going on here. Maybe I can help you. Just calm down and talk to me Max."

"I don't see how your going to help. My wife and my best friend are an item, I got no job, These fraggers are just smouchie, smouchie, lovey dovey. Don't I deserve to have a good time, huh. Why do they get to hog it all up? You explain that to me.."
-
Jessica examines the man who was shot... to see if he is actually dead. She jacks out of smartgun to her cybereyes and zooms in on the man.

John points at the best friend, "If you keep this up then all your fun is going to stop. You just shot a man. Now you need to let the girl go and get out of here before the cops arrive or all of your fun is going to really end."

"The cops!," explains Dugan. You right-gotta get out of here before the cops get here,"
In his haste, Max Dugan throws his hostage to the side and begins to run off. He doesn't get very far before security jumps on him and drags him to the floor. After a few moments they restrain him with plastic ties and march him off toward he exit.
-
Slugger looks to Jessica and says "Looks like you're up medic"
-
John walks back to the booth and sits down. He pulls out his commlink and sends a message to the commcode that sent him the original meet request.
<<<<<@MacAllister, we may need a change of venue. Cops are more than likely on their way.>>>>>

She pulls her medkit out and rushes over the man. She examines the gunshot and uses the kit. She plugs her datajack in and hears the familar banter of the talkative medkit program in her head. She sighs and gets to work on the wounds trying to stop the intermediate threat to his life.

<<@Frank McMiller[MacCallister] Considering I'm heading security tonight and I'm the one that called the cops, yeah, they're coming. Don't sweat it- this may not be deep into Pullyup but it'll still be 20 minutes easy before they show. You and Ms First Aid go on down and out the front door. That way the witnesses see you leave. Go around back and Moe will let you in the back entrance and up into the office I'm using. I have to stay backstage till the concert ends. There's some soyaid in the fridge if you get thirsty.Your other acquaintances can either stay and watch the concert since they're not connected to the incident or go upstairs with you.>>
-
Frank stands back up and walks over toward odd,
"Stay if you want but cops are on the way. Others may have seen you talking to us so you might as well come along. We've got an out for a short period."
He then moves up and lightly grabs Jessica's arm to steer her out. He leans in to whisper in her ear. "Cops are on the way, we need to move so we don't draw too much attention since we have a meet tonight."
He then sends a message to Lizzy, <<<<@Lizzy, Had an incident. will meet you later in the offices upstairs for the meet. Don't return to the booth. From: John

"What about the food, Jessica dropped a lot of money." Slugger says as he starts to follow John out.
-
John turns and looks over his shoulder, "I am sure it can be diverted. We've still got the meet. I've talked to our Johnson, we're just getting out of the publics sight."
-
"Good luck and maybe next time not... uh... bro code and all that stuff." Jessica said to the stabilized man before following Frank. "Slugger. Kindly take as many boxes of the cake as you can. Thank you." Jessica says before turning to Frank. She whispered to him. "Got time to get our weapons?"
-
Slugger will grab what he can
