Fionn provides the appropriate account numbers, eager to be back to civilization.  "Redmond is a good deal farther from Tacoma, though - we'd need to get from there, through Renton, and into Tacoma...  Which means we'd need, ideally, a ride that'll get us through the Barrens safely yet won't look too far out of place in the damned suburbs.  That something your guy can provide, O'Connor?"

O'Connor shook his head in annoyance, "Prob'bly not, but there ain't no way in hell we're goin' after these guys with no weapons. If we landed in Puyallup, we'd have to head up to Redmond anyway and then go to Tacoma. So, the frag's your problem?"

Clementine sends Fionn's account number to her contact. She then asks Fionn to confirm the transfer and she relays the loan terms to the rest of the team.

"Just trying to figure out the logistics here.  We don't want to give the striapach spawn a chance to find out we're coming, so we need to keep the timeline as short as possible.  Gotta figure out how we're gonna get transport - maybe a lorry or something, which would also look pretty in-place in Tacoma.  I'll check around, see what I can do."  Fionn starts monitoring his account, and contacts Agrona and Creidhne. 

<<Hey, Agrona, what's the word?>>

<<Creidhne, you near this world mate?>>

As soon as she got the information, Sammy followed Matt towards the muscle he was talking to.  He hoped he could get them back with the boss, although she should be able to do so if it was necessary.  She had never really had any problems in getting inside places.  A well placed stunbolt made it easy if there was only one guard.

Sammy reaches the two just as J-Bone seems to be concluding their conversation.
"Look kid, Mister M sez he's done witchchaz.  If you want to ride, I give you his account number, you sent de cash and then he passes 'long the meet, that's it."  The muscle looks at Sammy, trying to be unimpressed but gives it up after a sec, he does hold up his free hand to motion her to stop.  "Hullo miz, sorry 'bout dis but Mister M can be sensitive sumtimes.  I guess I got no chance at a holograph, do I?  My kid, he is a big NOrkB Fan."

"Well, we have the money," Sammy said, "I just want to make sure that the deal is still valid.  And if you have something to put it on, that holograph can be arranged."
If she could get the guard on their side, or at least neutral, by giving out a holograph, she had done that before.

<<Job went south in what looks to be a bad way.  May need transport in either Redmond or Puyallup in the near future, there anything you can do?>>  He fired the message to Agrona, before replying the Creidhne.

<<Things took a pretty bad turn for this team I'm with, so we're stranded outside of Seattle without any memory for about a day long timeframe.  Got a way back into the city, but we're gonna need a ride from either Puyallup or Redmond.  You got anything in the right area?>>  Fionn knew that Creidhne liked to use drones and vehicles as a way to get closer to the physical realm, so there was always a chance he'd have something in the right place, or could get it there.

<<Yeah, I got a cousin that can fit you for a casket relatively cheap.  Probably not what you are looking for, but unless you got money from somewhere I dunno about you can't afford anything I can offer, best bet would be to boost wheels on the way out.>>

In the sticks, as in the city, the axiom applies. Money makes things happen.

When the proper monetary manipulations take place, and the twenty-five thousand nuyen disappears into the ether, a notification is sent to Antonio Mazzarini, who smiles and passes a note to the waitress.  The Waitress brings the note to J-Bone, who passes it along to Sammy after scrawling his email on it.

The note is a simple set of GPS coordinates and 2230 (a time a little over an hour from now), a quick reference check points to a location 20 km SE of the diner.

Johnny will wince once a map is shown.  It is a location on the old Yakima Proving Grounds, not on the property claimed by Nicolas Martell, but at worst a stone’s throw from it, if the grand display map he remembers from his tour was accurate.  A cross-country straight line from Yakima would certainly cross into his surveillance, but avoiding it would mean taking Old 82 a significant distance with time being of the essence.

<<Team might have the cash if you've got the wheels.>>

When the news of the time for the meet had been given to the other team, Sammy thought about something.
"Do you guys want to keep my spirit concealing you, or do you think it will attract too much attention from other things?"

"So we've got a new problem boys and girls. Sam this is right next to Martell's place, if we wanna avoid the old man and all of his large guns we're gonna have to take old 80. And that will really kill our time. We're gonna either have to distract him or come up with a real good reason not to get shot in his woods."

"I'll keep my spirit with you then," Sammy said, "that might help you get past him.  If he doesn't see you, he can't shoot you, right?"
