Cyberpunk 2020

Bob woke up cuffed. He saw a few other cops cuffed beside him and there was a dimly lit workbench where an enforcer bot was getting disassembled for parts. Bob counted, there were 8 slammers in the dark room and 4 cops in total. The enforcer bot was getting taken apart and he did not know what will happen to the other beat cops.

=======================================================================================

A few militech solos were watching the feed they planted on Bob. "What is the piggy waiting for?" The solo muttered as he snapped the neck of a slammer. The elite slammers were all taken out by a militech assault team.

"How do we encourage the useless old cops to do something?" A militech solo asked.

2 solos went into the room and grabbed 2 slammers and pulled them out of the room. The solos were inhumanly fast and they ambushed the slammers and the slammers did not have a chance.

=========================================================================================

Bob moved over to an unconscious cop and took his cuff keys to uncuff himself. Bob accidentally activated his neuralware and it seemed like everything is moving slowly as though he was in bullet time. "What the fuck..." Bob muttered as he did not know what was happening and he rushed towards the slammers and picked up a baseball bat and swung at a slammer's head.

"CRACK!"

The slammer's head had a big dent and he collapsed with blood coming out of his nose and ears and Bob proceeded to swing and hit another slammer in the face.

"What the f.." A slammer muttered as he saw Bob moving quickly towards him and before he could activate his neuralware as well, Bob swung the basebal ball bat two handed and hit the heads of the 2 slammers and their heads tilted at weird angles as they collapsed.

A slammer tackled Bob to the ground and started punching into his soft body. "Fucking pig... die..." He shouted and another one approached.

The punches hit hard into Bob's gut and Bob was disarmed. His hands were grabbed by the slammer and the slammer seemed inhumanly strong and Bob noticed his chrome arm who gripped Bob's shoulders and pinned Bob down.

"Fuck..." Bob shouted as the other slammer came and kicked Bob in the gut. It was over. The other slammer had cyberlegs and the kicks landed in Bob and broke his ribs and the pain was overwhelming. Bob could taste blood in his mouth as his internal organs were bruised.

=========================================================================================

"Why is the fucking piggy so useless?" A solo said and shot out the light with a silenced round and the militech solos entered the room and moved towards the surprised slammers, grabbed their heads and snapped their necks. They checked on Bob. Bob was still alive and they picked up the litte video camera on Bob's badge and replaced it with another one as they returned back to Militech with the recorded footage.

=========================================================================================

Bob woke up in a hospital and several other cops came and congradulated him. "What's going on?" Bob was dazed as he was still under morphine but he was injected with the best healing nanites to accelerate his healing.

An old cop showed Bob the headlines, "HERO COP SUBDUE COP KILLERS AND SAVES FELLOW OFFICERS."

A famous reporter, Kim who was very supportive of first responders arrived and interviewed Bob. "How did you pull off the miracle escape?

Bob was surprised to have footage of him killing the slammers with a baseball bat. But since he was still drugged, he was very confused.

"Did your new neuralware enchanced your reflexes to help you save your colleagues?" Kim asked.

Bob did not know what was going on and just nodded and Kim went over and checked out Bob's new Militech neutalware. "Wow, neuralport 11.0.012, this has emp shielding and advanced AI guided system with an upgraded Sanivistan. If you are our first line of defence, this might save your life."

Kim showed some videos of the neuralware on Bob and left.

Bob was still dazed and did not know what just happened, but now, Bob was doing a great job promoting the latest neuralware for Militech.
 
Max had more money in her account again, after paying for some medical services, she got minor skill upgrade chips, bought some ammo and was trying to arrange with Johnny and Mio to come out for some nice food after earning it. Max has always been spending and earning, not really saving much, but she does keep an update on her equipment.

There were more troubling news about the government discovering clones and destroying them. There were approved clone farms where the clones were sedated, but many people do not like chemicals in their organs, so there were other clone farms where external surrogacy was used and babies grown to be antibiotic free. Babies as young as 2 years old were being harvested.

"Breakout of farm..." Max read the headlines of a biotech company in China that farmed organs. "I don't know, I prefer my organs domestic..." Max said.

Max met up with Jackie and explained to her the situation, and clones. Apparently she was adopted and has no idea about clones. It was an eye opener that clones were doing well in the environment they grew up in and more are getting revealed.
 
Johnny had spent his day letting his ass finish healing from the nomad home invaders last night, finishing his uploads of the police station attacks last night along with his commentary, scanning the news and any corporate information leaks regarding clones. His own skills weren't adequate for tracking the nomads' financial information, so he couldn't steal whatever revenue the made from their show or locate them in an attempt to learn more about that familiar girl they'd brought along to torture. He hoped she was at least enjoying her involuntarily-attached vibrating strap-on.

He finished his sequence of disappointment by reviewing video submissions for his contest for killing corporates with dildos. His fans didn't disappoint, and there were a number of first-person videos that made him laugh and revel in his talent for getting strangers to do what he wanted.

Johnny got Max's communications and set out for the arranged time and place. He didn't want to discuss his findings over communication networks. He rode up on his almost silent import motorcycle then folded it up into a backpack before heading into the dive restaurant to meet his sister. "So, I got gang-raped by those nomads that attacked the police station with you, but more importantly, there's been a sudden upswing in clone-related activity. I have empathy and all.. but with international incidents, we can't possibly find and adopt every one, and we don't have the numbers to raid labs on our own. I don't even know what we should be doing, if anything." He sighed, heavily. Despite his demeanor, Johnny did have a heart, but its strings were only connected to other clones who's suffered the same imprisonment and indignities that he had. "I think those nomads had one of us. She looked familiar, but we didn't get a chance to talk. I think a real netrunner could find them with how they used my system. I kind of want to track her down. She didn't look thrilled. But then maybe she got so messed up she doesn't even know what's going on, anymore. And, did you talk to that Jackie chick? She seemed clueless. Unless... she's an original?" In which case Johnny was prepared to hate someone who'd commissioned human copies for a lifetime of misery until they were butchered for spare parts.
 
Mio had agreed to meet Max and Johnny for dinner. However, she was so thrilled at her recent earnings and her new car that he decided to take a nap in it. She woke up and realized she was going to be late so quickly put on her black leather catsuit and drove to the restaurant they were supposed to meet at. When she arrived Johnny and Max were already there. She walked up and with a swift bow said to the both of them, "Sorry I'm late! I overslept."
 
Militech paid for all the medical expenses to use the most advanced healing available to put Bob back on duty again. Bob had no idea what was going on but Militech decided to add some experimental options in their neuralware with Bob. Bob was released from hospital and he went back to the police station the next evening to finish his report.

Bob went to the range and tested his neuralware's reflex booster and he was not sure if he moved faster or everything went slower, but he felt dizzy after that. Bob was congradulated by his colleagues and many people were excited to see Bob take out the slammers on his own. Bob watched the video and did not remember much, but he knew he was knocked out in the end.

Bob saw a few more enforcer bots in the station. Several cops almost did not make it as their bodies were destroyed, but their brains were still functioning. So they were transferred to bots. met up with some Militech technicians who checked on his neuralware and Bob went back to work again.

The night started off relatively easy. Bob went and did his usual patrol route and after midnight, Bob and his new partner were checking an alley and saw 2 pretty ladies outside. As Bob passed the ladies, she rubbed her breasts on him and Bob could feel her nipples. "Excuse me..." Bob said and as the other cop walked passed the ladies, she grabbed him and kissed him.

Bob drew his gun but the lady was already beside him and his pistol was disarmed. "Let's have fun..." The lady said and started making out with Bob. Bob saw the other old cop getting kissed and the lady was already jerking him off. Bob was dragged into a van where the old cop was fucked by the lady. The lady gave Bob and blow job.

A gunshot was heard and the ladies quickly ran off. There was a sniper shooting at them. Bob quickly went into cover and looked around. The ladies were gone and he was saved.
 
Max met one of her hacker contacts and got them to research more about the human organ farms. They requested $1000 for the research and Max just collected the data of the research before the meeting.

Max arrived in the restaurant and heard Johnny complain about getting raped but she was too engrossed reading the data on her datapad. She pulled out some data and showed it on the holovid.

"There is a scientist that is under the same payroll as the China Clone Factory in Night City. And there are also these which missed the news... Seems like there are suicidal people who were sent to missions without any cybernetics, and when they were caught, they aged rapidly and died. 2 were caught and they looked the same. Perhaps clones made to age fast to finish missions and discarded?" Max said. "There are still not rights for clones, and it is still illegal and the senator in Night City still opposes clone research."

Max looked up and there was Johnny. She seemed rather angry and powerless at the same time. "I think there are more of us out there, and like Jackie, many don't know they are clones. I think you have to be adopted really young for that, do you think some of the clones were rescued?"

Max could recall the horrific experiments and conditions she suffered in the institution. There were tests done to them and constantly on sedation from the operations done to them. It was not a childhood as they was no play, no fun and all training.

"Let's not talk about clones..." Max said as Mio arrived. Mio was in a leather catsuit.

"Hey girl, nice outfit!" Max said and as Mio came closer. "Oh my, you still have that new car smell!"

The waiter arrived and passed them the menu. The restaurant was one of the new chains that was out which had both synthetic foods and real food. There were soy based meat, fish and meat flavored vegetables grown with CRISPR to have more protein.

"I don't understand what is in half the menu, but I like the food here." Max said. "This is not a high end restaurant, and some of the food here is still quite affordable."

Max looked at the menu, the fancy food prices have gone down slightly as more restaurants sell these genetically modified food.

"Let's eat and have fun!" Max said. "For surviving another day in Night City."
 
Mio rubs the back of her head and says, "Thanks. I just washed it today." She wonders why Max didn't recognize the same outfit from the night they first met but then it dawned on her that her armored long coat had obscured it greatly. In the middle of a gun fight or a police raid, it's not the time to notice someone's clothing. She feels kinda awkward. She responds, "I had enough cash saved up from this latest payout and the one from the other night to afford a new car. Now I have everything budgeted to get through the month."

She takes a seat and looks over the menu and does some quick calculations in her head. She goes for the few cheapest options available to her. She still had to save a good chunk of her cash for her visit home tomorrow. She asks Max and Johnny, "So what's going on with you two? I'm thinking of taking tomorrow off from Solo business."
 
Bob called for backup and the police started searching the area for the attackers. Using the camera, the attackers were spotted and tracked and the police converged at an alley.

A team of 4 police officers started their search and the ladies spotted the flashlights. "Shit, cops..." A lady said and the ladies scaled up the walls and waited in ambush. 2 cops were grabbed at the back of their necks and they were lifted off the ground and squeezed. bloodflow was restricted to their heads and they went limp. A plump cop with a white beard was grabbed and kissed and the other cop had a wire looped around his neck and he was strangled.

"Quick, run..." The lady said and as the ladies exited the alley, they encounted a few cops and exchanged gunfire. "Fuck... so many of them." A lady cursed as she was shot in the arm. A few cops were shot and they were dragged into cover but there were easily 10 more cops shooting at the ladies. "Fuck... too many of them."

As the ladies looked into the alley, there were more flashlight approaching. "Shit, inside too."

The ladies surrended and were arrested. The ladies paused and activated a time delay combat drug they had in their bodies. As they were escorted to a police van, as a cop searched a lady for weapons, his neck was grabbed and he was choked. The other lady broke her handcuffs and grabbed the throats of the other 2 cops and dragged them into the police van. She crushed the throats of the cops and they could not breathe and trashed helplessly. The other lady snapped the cop's neck. They took the cuff keys and uncuffed themselves and one of the ladies walked to the front of the van and smiled at the driver. Before he could raise the alarm, she shoved her finger into his eyes and discharged and electrical shock and he was killed instantly.

=========================================================================================

It was a win again, and even though Bob arrived late, the news somehow picked up the story about his quick action leading to the arrests. Bob was confused "Why me? Neuralware?"

Then the news arrived. The ladies escaped.

==========================================================================================

Across the city, there was a spate or murders as there was a new combat drug implant that was being tested. The users were faster and stronger briefly, but it also made them more violent and required a lot of discipline to control the violence. Arasaka had several spies which were informed of the drugs and monitored the drug use, some of the Arasaka solos tested the drug and could control the urge to kill everyone, but for some boostergangs, it was a different case, mass murders were observed.

As the tests were extensive, more companies were informed of the drug when the non-solo users were killed and the implants discovered. There were plans to use the new drug for terror, and the test proved pretty successful.

Johnny was lounging his his seat, recalling his ordeal, while Max was not paying attention. He gave her a bitter look, then rolled his eyes. Siblings. He sat up straighter and leaned forward to watch the vid. His face twitched as the story unfolded on the screen. "Are they making them suicidal so they'll go on these missions? That's pretty fucked. I don't want to be world police, but I'm kind of sick thinking about that and want to put some bullets in some heads." He snorted in anger, then continued, "Did you see that news clip I sent you? Arasaka is backing someone who wants to make cloning legal. No rights for us, of course. Shameless slavery and butchery. Of course, with the Arasaka money, they'll probably win."

Max changed the topic to the happier thought of clones really being adopted. "I guess it would have to be early.. suppose someone clones their kid for parts, then their real kid does. They might just treat the clone like a 'real boy'," he used air quotes. "Maybe that's Jackie's story. I still want to know what's going on with her. There's also that nomad chick. She didn't look happy. No idea how she got with 'em."

Then Mio arrived, and he nodded agreement to Max to stop talking about clones.

"There's a bad bitch. How much for a ride?" was the greeting he offered Mio in her sexy catsuit, but there was no desire behind his smirk. Though, he laughed at Max's excitement, "Care for some beef flavored bacterial protein?"

"Us? Oh, I just entertained some out-of-towners. Took the rest of the day off to catch up on the news," he was very vague. "You solos and your demanding schedules... bizy bizy bizy. Though, if you're taking a vaca, tomorrow, maybe do that interview about your bestie Officer Bob? He's like the most in-demand guy in the city."
 
Mio says, "Actually, I have to go somewhere tomorrow. Will have to do the interview some other time." She didn't say very much about the exact nature of her outing. She also doesn't pry too much into Johnny's vague description. She is quick to change the topic to Bob and says, "Yeah I noticed. I was only half-kidding when I said he was a celebrity but now it feels like he really is one. What is up with that and why are so many people after the guy? Last I checked, he was kinda incompetent."
 
"There are new info on officer Bob?" Max asked. "What is up with the old cop? What in-demand? What celebrity?"

Max looked up her holovid and found a few videos of Officer Bob.

"So, he now has some Militech Neuralware?" Max said. "He's on some of their ads! Holy shit? Why would they use an old guy?" Max was a little confused on what just happened. "OMG, I remembered, didn't Jackie got arrested by him? I was like... WTF mate?"

Max's food arrived. She had some Beef flavored Broccoli and Spinach infused Prawns... "This is so weird... but good... tots worth it!!"
 
In a lab, one of the doctors smuggled a teenager in a medical waste chute and managed to retreive him before incineration and brought him home. Within a few hours, Arasaka detected the missing teenager and sent a hit squad after him. Some of the information of the child and the experiments were revealed online but it was shortly removed.

The doctor was murdered but the teenager was never found. Some of the clones did pick up the story before it went missing as a reporter did an interview with the teenager before he went missing. There were tubes connected to his spine and brain. These fluids were used to make the combat drug.

The reporter was found murdered as the story went live -- Children used to manufacture drugs.

The news came out but a lot of the kids were already killed and destroyed. For the clones, some of them were trying to verify the truth, and find the lab, if it is in Night City.

====================================================================================

There was a gang war and several booster gangs were killing each other. The violence spread to the streets and many bystanders were slashed and killed as well. Police quickly arrived at the massacre and saw the gang members looking a little rabid and killing others. There were about 4 cops and they shot at the gang members but did not take them down. "What the f...." A cop shouted as he saw the gang members moving at inhuman speeds and they got back itno their cars and sped off.

Bob arrived at the aftermath and there were scores dead and one of the gangs escaped. The video footage shared showed that pistols did not take down these gang members and the police were on high alert.

"The streets are getting crazy..." Bob muttered as he looked at the bodies. "Time to bring out the bigger guns!"

Mio orders some plain vegetables which were the cheapest item on the menu. Like sliding doors, metal plates part on her mask to open up a moderate sized slot. She holds a piece of broccoli to the slot and the plates close again, slicing a piece off like scissors. Those metal plates function like someone biting something.

She says, "Yeah, I saw the vid too. Looks like a lot of people liked seeing Bob win for once. I still think he's not very good at what he does but now he carries an air hypo around now so you gotta be careful if you get close to him. The sedative seems to be working well for him since apparently everyone thinks he's irresistible or something. " She shakes her head and says in a tone that is half dismay and half resignation, "Why does everyone try to rape him?" She takes another "bite" of her food. It is a little weird watching someone eat through a metal mask.
 
Jackie saw a big gang fight and rival gangs shot and stabbed each other. One group, the crimson death seemed to be winning. When the police arrived, they saw such a large group that they quickly left.

Jackie waited till more backup arrived and the cops started searching the alleys for the gang members. "Interesting..." Jackie said and spotted the gang members hiding. "They don't look like they move very fast..." Jackie said and threw a rock over and the cops spotted them. "Freeze!" A fat cop shouted as he pointed the shotgun at them.

A lady sneaked up on the cops and grabbed the helmets and snapped the neck of the first cop. "Wow, she's fast..." Jackie said and the lady slit the throat of another cop. "Drop your weapon or paps here will die..." The lady said as she grabbed a short cop. The remaining cop was tackled and the other gang members stripped him and played with his dick. "Not bad..." Jackie said. "The lady is some kind of solo, quite good..."

======================================================================

"So you guys are going to meet up with the old cop?" Max asked. "Sounds interesting... his marketing with the neuralware really makes me want to upgrade mine."
 
The limited quantities of the drugs were getting tested on the streets. Most of it was used to settle differences among gangs and hence ignored. A few cops were patrolling and they saw the gangs hacking at each other on the streets and as they called for backup, the Arasaka solos moved behind the cops and grabbed them. The cops had chloroformed rags covered their mouths and were taken out briefly.

"Fuck... backup arrived." A solo said and saw a police car and a van. 2 cops exited the van and they walked to the back of the van just to have tazers shoved into their necks and they were taken out. A canister of sleeping gas was tossed into the police van and a solo entered with tazers and shocked everyone who was awake.

An old police sergeant exited the police car and saw the fight. His mouth was covered before he could reach the radio and a blade placed at his throat. He saw his partner in the arms of an armored man and they were dragged to the police van and choked unconscious.

Bob and his partner arrived and saw several police cars and the gangs already killing most of each other. The cops that just arrived walked into the alley and searched for the other gang members who committed the murders while a plump cop remained at the police car. As he grabbed the radio, his mouth was covered and an armored man injected sedatives into his neck.

Bob and his partner were grabbed in the alley and held in a necklock. They did not struggle and they saw the other cops approaching the remaining gang members fighting. The chromers defeated the other gang and continued to stab the bodies and the cops fired at the remaining chromers taking them out. "Just leave and grab your friends along." A voice said to Bob and Bob turned around and saw a man in black armor. As there was no more threat to others, Bob quickly helped his fellow cops and entered the police cars and left. There were enough cops to drive all the police vehicles away, leaving the scene of the murder to Arasaka, possibly for data collection as there were solos already there doing recording.

=====================================================================

On the way back, Bob saw kids dash across the road and he narrowly missed the kid but he hit a man in armor chasing him. "Fuck..." Bob muttered as his aribags deployed and he quickly went over to check on the man. The man was in the same armor as the ones who attacked him and he looked at the kids. They looked liked twins and Bob staggered over and checked on them. "Why are they after you?" Bob asked.

The kids were a little hesitant at first but Bob looked harmless and waited there for them to be ready to talk to him. Bob saw another police car coming and got the kids inside and told his fellow officer to bring them to the police station.

Bob then checked on the armored man. He removed his helmet and saw the man bleeding from his mouth. The man looks dead. "Shit..." Bob said and found extensive cyberware on the man. "This is bad... He is probably a solo from one of the major corporation."
 
Mio continues eating and says, "I don't know. I don't really like cyberware much. It kinda makes me feel like I'm less human somehow. I don't know." She then points to her mask and says, "This thing took forever to get used to. I'm not really sure I want to go through all that again. Plus, I don't think I can spare the cash to buy cyberware even if I wanted to get some."
 
"I don't think we may have a choice when it comes to some cyberwear." Max said. "Anything that can give you an edge in a life and death situation is important."

"Some of these jobs do pay pretty well..." Max said. "Some may not be legal, and some are outright dangerous, but that is the nature of our job."

Max was browsing a brochure on knives and fiber wire and some cost a lot of money, but the look pretty and seemed to be bespoke. "Wow, $1,000 for a dagger, Damascus Steel, mono-finishing. Not sure if it is really worth it, but looks real good." Max said. "Cyberware may make you seem less human, but losing more body parts and getting more cyberware because of that seems worse.
 
Mio slumps back and says, "Yeah you're telling me. Getting metal replacements for lost body parts is no fun at all. It takes a looong time to get used to it." She takes a look at the back of the brochure Max is holding. "So I guess you're a more close combat type of solo? Usually if an enemy gets to close to me, I'm in trouble. I'm much better with rifles and pistols."
 
Johnny shrugged, "I doubt I could get Officer Bob's autograph. Other than some more fight or fuck footage, I'm not sure why I'd want to meet him." Then he listened to Mio's lament about the expense of cyberware. "Is there some way we can profit from it, if we did? Copy his neuralware or something?" He peered over at the brochure Max was looking at. "Got your eye on something, sis?"

"If everyone's hurting for money, and we've noticed Bob's strategy now that he's constantly getting his ass kicked... think we could get the drop on him? We could probably auction him off to someone who knows how to make use of what got put in him. We all might be able to retire." He looked between the other women, seeing if there was a spark of interest anywhere.
 
A solo arrived at the police station and followed a cop into the restroom. He took out a wire and strangled the cop silently and took his uniform. He left the cop naked in a cubicle and changed into his uniform and heard flushing sound and another cop exited the cubicle. The solo shoved his thumb into the cop's throat and crushed his larnyx. As the cop was choking, the solo kneed into his nose, sending the bone into his brain. The cop was dragged into the cubicle and it was locked and the solo leaped out from the inside.

He proceeded to enter the SWAT room and switched off the light. "What the ..." An officer muttered and the solo moved gracefully among them and slit their throats. A vibrodagger was flicked into the eye of an enforcer bot and the solo leaped over and kicked it deep into the enforcer's head. Walking the gurgling cops, the solo snapped their necks to be sure. This was not just a normal solo, it was an Arasaka Ninja that was sent to retrieve the 2 kids.

Bob returned to the police station and tried to check on the kids. "Why was there a man chasing you?" Bob asked the kids and they pointed behind him and Bob turned to see a cop choking another cop and quickly drew his gun and stood in front of the kids. "Drop the officer!" Bob commanded and the man smirked and tightened his grip on the cop and the cop pawed helplessly and went limp.

// feel free to save Bob from the ninja.
 
Max was browsing through news and some jobs, and found the news on the escaped kids that may be clones. As Max was checking on police bands and other channels, she found a report about 2 twins were saved from an accident.

"May be clones." Max said to Johnny. "Bob works here, perhaps we can visit him and kidnap him as well?"

Max turned to Mio and said. "I have a smartgun link to my long range guns. They are also harder to customize and hide when you have a big rifle."

The olympics is coming again, and the China team was preparing a few athletes to compete for various sports. For track and field, there were 4 athletes that looked similar and in swimming, there were 3 ladies that looked identical. When the team was brought together, more of the younger competitors looked alike.

There was a gene editing company which was banned in China 16 years ago for editing genes to have designer babies, and they were afraid this was the result. Sadly, instead of editing the baby's DNA, the doctor at that time simply inserted a "perfect DNA" baby into the womb, and in 2 of the cases, twins were born and the company was now defunct.

The founders and researchers were executed and now no one knows what to do 16 years later. The photo of the athletes were out and there were rumor mills about China clones competing in sports, breaking all sorts of records, and although the rumors were true, China did not want the world to know about it and banned the athletes from the national team after doing DNA tests to find that their DNA were too close to be people from different families.

===========================================================================

2 policemen entered the house of a Chinese Gymnast and she was crying in her room. "We need to bring you to help us in the investigations, can you please..." The lady truned around and shoved he palm up the policeman's nose and he collapsed. She punched the other cop's gut and as he leaned forward, she kneed into his face and it was so hard that she cracked his skull.

The Chinese clones were matured, they had inhuman DNA and were scared. There were several others that joined the military and saw the news and saw their faces as wanted criminals and escaped overnight, killing all the other people in their platoon. This information was very well contained and few knew about it, and since there were tensions between the US and China, Many of the clones decided to go to the US to figure things out.
 
Johnny laughed, not taking Max's suggestion seriously. "Oh, sure. Why not. We could get the drop on him. We know about his little toy. Officer Bob wouldn't stand a chance." He scooped up his last few bites of food, not showing much in the way of manners. "Ok, I'm ready. Let's go kidnap Bob. Does someone have a buyer lined up for his neuralware?"

Then he glanced to Mio at his side. "You know him, right? He basically trusts you. You can get us in and up close. Easy money." He looked between the two solos, being entirely sarcastic, "Who's car are we taking?"
 
Mio said, "Well if the neuralware's worth that much money, I could go for it. Buuuut... I'd like to not rush in and go, 'Now what?' so unless we already have a buyer lined up, kidnapping Bob is bad idea. Also, I wouldn't call him a friend yet. I mean we did just meet once and that was that. " She turns to Johnny, "Speaking of Bob, What are you doing tonight? You wanted an interview didn't you?"
 
"I'm not really serious," he paused, looking again between the two. "Unless .. you think ..? A buyer? How many times can we break into a police station in one week and be lucky enough to get back out? I mean, I'm not against it. I was just mouthing off. But, I'm in, if you want to go for it." The thought of a big big score was tempting, if it was realistic.

Johnny cocked his head, quizzically at Mio, "Oh, I thought I'd have to wait until it was old news. But, your calendar just cleared up, eh? Ok, cool. Right here, right now? Or will you get stage fright with all these other dregs around?" he gestured generally around at the other customers, not bothering to keep his voice down.
