"Not urgent enough - the balance here is between making them pull a fair proportion of people off of the search immediately and not making them call in outside assistance.  If it doesn't require an immediate reaction, they'll probably just hold off for a while - or at least, that's what I'd expect them to do.  Ideally, something that works as an anonymous tip is better - especially since from there I can turn around and pin it on the guy we got O'Connor's Zen from; I doubt he'd have caught the access I set up on his commlink by now."

[HydroRaven]

"So how about an anonymous tip saying someone sighted us at the other end of town?" replies Clementine.

[RHat]

"Possible, but wouldn't they have to consider us pretty dangerous to pull people from the side town we're actually on?  Increases our exposure quite a bit."

[Crossbow]

The case snaps closed and returns to his pocket as the fixer takes a drag of whatever it is he is smoking.  "Well Mr J, whether we play ball or not I got the only goal in town so if you wanna do business you'll figure out a way to make me happy.  To the business at hand, the transport lined up is a one-way trip, no frills border hop into the Puyallap Barrens, anything beyond that will be through a new contractor, so once again I have to ask what kind of extraction are you going to need so we can figure out a number."

Johnny doesn't take his eyes off the muscle as he answers Matty"I'm sorry kiddo. We're in a bit of a bind and doing what it takes right now to get by. I don't agree with how we're handling some of this but I'm not in charge, I will give you my promise that I won't let my boss screw you though." Matty can hear the honesty in Johnny's voice.

Sam sighed. "You disappoint me, Mr. Mazzarini. I had been lead to believe that you were forward-thinking and intelligent; not the sort to sacrifice a lucrative long-term relationship for a small short-term gain."

He thought briefly, then nodded. "Puyallup is...adequate. Not ideal, but clearly I cannot hope for better," his tone adding the implied "from you". "That will necessitate an adjustment of the team's schedule. Perhaps it would be best if we left the extraction...flexible...for now. If you give my assistant"--he nodded to Sammy, who was still standing nearby--"a commcode you can be reached through, we could make arrangements as their schedule progresses."

Con for everything so far: 13d6.hits(5)=3; ugh. Not as good as I'd hoped. Adding Edge: 4d6.hitsopen(5,6)=2 Total of 5. Better. 
Con for the latest BS, if necessary: 13d6.hits(5)=2 The castle clearly hates me today.

Matty takes in what Johnny is saying and nods, he maintains his slouch but Johnny can tell he is now focused on the muscle, ready to draw and fire from cover should the bodyguard act to warrant it.

Out in the parking lot a smile has returned to Mazzarini's face, not the "let's be friends" fake smile that he had in the diner, but the look of devil rat that has just spotted a wounded pigeon.  "Certainly Mr J, let's just make sure about the color of you cred.  Considering the full boat, risk and timetable, I think a hundred grand for a hop into Seattle is  fair."

Back in Yakima:

You have reached the outer edges of town, the links to the net are starting to disappear from Fionn's senses.

[HydroRaven]

"Alright, should we continue out or just backtrack and hide in an alley or something?" asks Clem.

[farothel]

Sammy was just about to give the commcode of the commlink she had when he started talking.  At the 100 grand she stopped.  That would probably require some negotiation.  But for now she would let Sam keep talking.

[Necrogigas]

"We ain't exactly got the cred to refuel this bitch. I'd prefer to not have to dodge the pigs on foot all the way to the pick up point."

[RHat]

"How much gas have we got left?"

[Crossbow]

OOC: the gauge is at a quarter tank, maybe enough to get where you may still need to, but not for anymore joyriding till then

[HydroRaven]

"I'd say enough to stay put somewhere and go meet the rest, but not enough to keep driving around" answers Clem.

[Necrogigas]

"Then alleyway hidey hole it is then."

[HydroRaven]

With Fionn's guidance, Clemetine finds a nearby alley to park the Jeep in and shuts down the engine. She then says "Now we wait" to the rest of the Jeep's occupants. She says to O'Connor "Keep your rifle at the ready. We're so close to leaving this dump, ain't no hick cop or chimpira that's going to delay my getaway."
