บท 123: Encounter
"Excuse me?"
"What're you even drinking?" Ori questions, pointing at Rebecca's bright pink cocktail.
"They call it the 'Night City Prolapse'."
"Excuse me!?"
"That sounds absolutely disgusting..." Ori says, making a face. Of course they'd serve something called that in this place.
"Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it." she says, pushing her straw towards him.
"I'm hoping you mean the drink..." he jokes, sipping it.
"Excuse me!!?"
He smacks his lips a couple times, "Strawberry?"
"Strawberry schnapps with cream and a dash of wine... Or so they said."
"Still, that na-"
"EXCUSE ME!!??!" the man standing beside their table shouts, finally losing his patience at being ignored.
The duo just turn to look at him, sending wary glances his way. "Yeah? We're not deaf you know!" Rebecca questions, causing a vein to throb on the man's forehead.
"Then, since you clearly have ears. I am sad to say you both have to leave. Immediately." the colourfully dressed man says.
"What!? Why!?" Rebecca exclaims, pretty tipsy from the night of revelry.
The man glances around surreptitiously, "Because, we've had some people asking for you both. Judging by their equipment, I would rather not have another death in my establishment."
Ori scowls at that, but Rebecca twists her expression and smiles at the man, "Aw, you care if we die? Am I your favourite customer...?"
"No." the man deadpans, "Now please leave."
"Alright, but first, could you point out our 'friends'?" Ori asks, the nanites quickly helping him sober up at the approaching threat.
"They have made their way to the second floor, I will not point them out in order to preserve the current state of the building. Please, leave..."
"Fine! But only because I like you... Guy." Rebecca relents, finishing her drink and standing, stumbling slightly before grabbing Ori to keep herself upright.
"Thank you. If you do manage to return, I will waive your current tab as an apology... If you wouldn't mind, please exit through the back door..." the man states.
Ori and Rebecca follow the guy to the door, stepping out into the now dark, raining back alley. Rebecca rested her weight on his shoulder as he inconspicuously grips the revolver hidden in a holster.
"Any idea who's looking for us?" he asks his companion.
Rebecca shrugs, "Nope. Probably some bozo looking for revenge, wouldn't be a first."
"Happen to you before?"
"Yeeeah... Some guy hired me to stalk and protect his girl, turned out she was getting some dick on the side. Told the guy and he didn't believe me, refused to pay and everything so I told his bitch what he had me do."
"And?" Ori asks as they walk through the alleyway.
"She dumped his ass, guy came crying to me threatening to break my legs if I didn't take what I said back, as if that would fix it!" she laughs to herself.
"Did he... Survive..?"
"Probably? I only capped his knees."
"With Guts?"
"With Guts."
"Shiiit..." Ori mutters, kind of feeling sorry for the legless guy somewhere out there.
He calls his car to automatically drive to their location as they step onto the street, only to pause when he spots a group of four people walking down the road towards them. They weren't regular folks obviously, each had a weapon already unholstered, and bits of armour here and there.
"Hey, SUSAN." he loudly names Rebecca, attempting to push her in the opposite direction, "Let's go see if that PACIFICIST club is still open!"
"The fuck is Susan...? You cheating on me?" Rebecca groans, pursing her lips as he glares at her, "Oh, you were trying-, my bad..."
"HEY! STOP BOTH OF YOU!" a woman steps ahead of the mercenary group, rifle in hand.
"Er, sorry! We don't want to buy anything!" Ori says with an awkward laugh.
"OI! SHE SAID STOP!-"
*BANG!*
A bullet kicks up dust next to Ori's foot, causing him to cease his movement. "YOU REALLY JUST SHOOT AT MY MAN!? YOU TRYIN'A DIE!?" Rebecca angrily shouts, attempting to reach for her own hidden pistol, but Ori stops her, not wanting to start a gunfight like this.
They were at the disadvantage. They didn't have their favoured weapons, he didn't have his grappling hook armguard, and Rebecca was pretty drunk as it is...
"Alright, what do you want?" Ori questions as the group stop a good distance away. The lampost above them flickers, and rain continues to fall...
"We're asking the questions here, boy." the woman states.
"How about an exchange then? You ask one, I ask one?"
"Are you deaf or some-"
"No, this is fine. I'll go first though." the woman says, lowering her rifle slightly. "What are your names?"
"Michael, Michael Afton. And she's Anja Gaul." Ori offers.
"This ain't gonna work if you wanna bullshit us, Zombie." she growls.
"Why ask if you already know me?" he retorts.
"So you admit it, you are 'Zombie'?" one of the woman's men questions.
He shrugs, "Sure. My questions now-"
"Sorry, but we've learned all we need." the woman grins maliciously as she raises her rifle, the others mimicking her.
*Bangbangbangbang!*
Rebecca opens fire before everyone however, pushing Ori away and throwing herself to the side as she does so. Some bullets ricochet off of one of the larger man's Cybernetic arms, but the rest pepper some non-vital areas.
Ori uses the momentum Rebecca had granted him, rolling as he draws Six's revolver.
*BANG!*
He aims at the woman, but one of her men pushes her behind him, taking a .50 cal bullet the chest which forces him to the ground, not only from the force but also because his heart had essentially exploded.
"FUCKERS! LIGHT EM UP!!" the woman roared, opening fire on Ori.
*Dagadagadagadaga!*
He grimaces as he blocks his face, bullets penetrating the skin on his arm, stomach, and chest. The nanites turn his pain receptors off, allowing him to fire back with optimal accuracy. Unfortunately, one of her other men also joins in.

บท 124: Assassin'd
"Come on you little bitch! I'll ruin you in front of your output!" the bulky merc shouts from behind cover as Rebecca fires at him.
"Wo-ow, an ugly, dirty rapist? You're, like, five cliches wrapped up into one, aren't you asshole!" Rebecca loudly taunts, slurring her words slightly.
"Ugly!? I'll fucking kill you!" the guy yells, standing from the cover and charging her position.
"That's what pissed you off!? You're not smart either huh!?" she unloads the rest of her bullets at him. She aims for his belly and legs since he was covering his face with his arms, but they don't seem to do much damage at all, her calibre of bullets probably wasn't good enough to penetrate his subdermal armour... That'll show her for trying to dress up nicely! Small outfits mean small guns!
He barrels around the car she was using as cover and crashes into her, picking her up off of the ground and slamming her back into a nearby wall, knocking the air out of her lungs. Of course, this disagrees with her stomach, forcing up all of her drinks as she vomits directly in the guy's face.
"Guh-, WHAT THE FUCK!?"
"Hahaha! What's wrong!?" Rebecca laughs as she sucks in air and wipes her mouth, "Never had a gal vomit on your chest before? Or are you the 'shit on my chest' kinda guy... You definitely look it." she smiles smugly, reloading her weapon.
"YOU FUCKIN'!"
------------------
"COME OUT, ZOMBIE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE TOUGHER THAN THIS!?" the woman shouts as Ori takes cover behind some nearby dumpsters. He'd been riddled with enough lead to cause heavy metal poisoning for any regular person, but the nanites were doing work healing everything.
"Who hired you, bitch!?"
"Come out and I'll tell you! A gift for your last moments!"
*BANG!*
He takes a shot and the woman ducks, barely avoiding the bullet that shears a line through her hair. "ALRIGHT THEN!"
*Tap-Tap-Tap*
Ori glances down at the ground where a grenade had just landed, his eyes widening. "Shit!" he mentally shouts, grabbing the dumpster and tipping it over atop it just as it explodes.
*BAANG!*
The heavy metal object thankfully blocks the shrapnel, but the sound alone makes his ears ring for a couple moments. He throws himself against the wall as the woman and her minion sprint around the corner, firing their weapons.
He manages to evade them and run through the alley, feinting his retreat around the corner while waiting for them to approach.
"Fucker thinks he can run, I'll show-" the minion starts, but get's interrupted as Ori's fist slams into his throat, causing a cracking sound to ring out. The guy falls to the ground choking on his own blood, and Ori turns his attention to the woman.
She unloads some bullets into his chest, undoubtedly piercing vital organs, but Ori grits his teeth and bears through it, causing her eyes to widen. "What!? Just fucking die already!"
"You first." he growl with a rasp, unable to get a breath in due to his damaged lungs. She tries to go for another shot but he beats her to it, firing Six's revolver as her hand.
*BANG!*
He blows four fingers off, causing her to drop her rifle, then fires another at her knee, completely decimating it.
She screams painfully at her injuries, but maintains a glare at him, despite the tears pouring from her eyes... They widen however as he spits a number of deformed, bloody bullets at the floor, regurgitating from his lungs and stomach.
"W-what are you...?"
"They call me Zombie for a reason, bitch." he slides her rifle away before kicking her on her front, searching her for any more weapons. "Now, why don't you tell me who you are?" he asks as he tosses away a number of hidden pistols.
"M-My guy will have captured your input! Let me go or she's done for!"
He crooks a brow at her.
[You good?] - Ori
[Ya, whaddya want to do with this guy? Shot his dick off and he wont last :P] - Rebecca
Ori smirks and focuses on the woman, "Your buddy failed as badly as the rest of you." he leans down and pushes the barrel of his revolver against her temple, "Now, information."
...
The woman ended up spilling her guts after... Well, spilling her guts... Apparently, she and her guys were just a mercenary group hired to assassinate them. She didn't know who hired her, but the group's fixer was Rogue, which definitely pissed Ori off...
Was it a breach of trust to allow someone to hire mercs to kill him? Yep.
Did it sound like something Rogue would do? Yep.
Not that he could complain, he wouldn't want Rogue telling his target that there was a hit on him. Though it did seem odd she'd allow people to hunt a merc who worked with her... Maybe their relationship wasn't that close though...?
Regardless, there were a number of people who would want him dead. Maelstrom, Tyger Claws, Biotechnica, Scavs, hell, even the NCPD might've done it.
"You alright, Lampost?" Rebecca asks as she walks over, ignoring the bloody corpse of the female merc at his feet. She herself had a bloody nose, and her tight outfit had some tears it in too.
"Yeah, looks like someone's put a hit out on us. You, Sasha, me... And Six... Means they probably don't know Six is dead yet. Or they can't be asked to change what they tell their mercs."
"Not the Tygers then... They would've seen us carry Six's headless body outta their building." Rebecca concludes.
"Whatever, I'm tired. Let's get back and talk about it with Sasha..." Ori mutters.
"Naaah, let's rent a hotel, my bro won't like what I'm gonna do to you." she says with a flushed face... Was that because of the alcohol? Or did she just get horny from the fight... Kinky psycho bitch.
"Fine... You're gonna have to do the legwork though, I ain't movin' as soon as I lay down."
