บท 160: The Climax...?
"Okay, Sash, when I asked for an update I didn't mean. This." Ori throws a hand at the holoscreen showing Sheila getting railed by the Director.
She shrugs, "Yeah well, I didn't expect there to be a cam pointed directly at the bed... Besides, can't we use this later for blackmail?"
Rebecca snorts, "For the girl maybe, the guy'd take it as a badge though. Should've expected a fugly dude like that to record all his sessions. Probably uses the vids as insurance."
Christy nods, "Sounds about right... Most people running entertainment are sleezebags. Can you do anything with this though?"
"I've got access to her phone so she isn't running anywhere without us knowing. I doubt someone like her would forget and leave it somewhere anyhow. As for Fae?" her eyes flash with data and the screen changes, broadcasting a video from what looks like her laptop webcam. "Hm... Looks like she's calling some friends of yours."
"Friends?" Christy parrots.
"She means the assassins, you gonk cheerleader." Rebecca grins.
Sasha nods, "I'll link it up, one sec..."
"-ust asking why you after dealt with her yet!? Do you know how much I've paid you already!? SHE SHOULD BE GONE!" Fae shouts as she paces back and forth in front of the feed.
"We tried alright? We bombed her goddamn car! We tried to jump her at her place! The bitch is slippier than a public bathroom!" a gruff voice quickly replies, sounding incredibly irritated.
"Yeah? But she's got bodyguards now! How're you gonna deal with that shit?" Fae spits.
"She what!? And you called us directly!? Are you completely fucking gonked outta your mind? What if someone starts investigating? You're leaving a trail of evidence that could fuck us all!"
"And!? If you don't get rid of her that's the last thing you gotta deal with!"
"Screw you! Encrypt your shit or come meet us directly. Otherwise don't call!"
*Beep!*
Fae angrily throws her holophone at the wall and begins cursing under her breath, "Fine, I'll do your jobs for you!" she shouts as she storms off outta sight.
"That was interesting..." Ori drawls.
"The Animal guy had some sense at least." Rebecca adds.
"That does give us some problems... It sounds like she might try to harm Christy herself..." Sasha speculates.
Christy straightens in her seat, "Er... I just got a text from Fae..."
"What about?"
"She wants to talk about meeting up, the three of us..."
Rebecca grins, "Perfect! She's basically doing our job for us. Just agree to some place and we'll hit 'em..."
"That won't work if we want to keep Christy's involvement secret. The first thing they'll do is investigate their communications... Though..." Ori thinks to himself and turns to Christy, "How'd you feel about getting blown up?"
...
"You're kidding, right?" she asks, questioning both his intelligence and her own for hiring him.
He shakes his head, "I mean, you'll survive it. I just want you in the vicinity to take some injuries, make it look like all three of you were targetted but you barely got out alive."
"Can we think of a way that doesn't involve me getting hurt...?" she almost pleads.
"No, that's kind of smart... Investigators will see you arranging the meet-up, you come late and only get hit by part of the bomb. If you investigate more then they'll find Fae and Sheila's attempts to kill you. The most obvious answer is another botched attempt, a miss-timed bomb maybe?" Sasha explains.
"Can't I just snipe them all from a distance then? Hit our girl here in the shoulder or something...?" Rebecca wonders aloud.
"No, that'd mean there's a third party involved." Ori rejects.
...
"I'm not sure I'm comfortable with getting bombed... Aren't you supposed to protect me anyway? Who bombs their own clients?" she questions, obviously against the plan.
Ori can't help but glance at Rebecca, "I can think of one person..."
"Hey, that happened before we met. Besides, you guys came up with this plan, not me!" she folds her arms childishly.
Ori leans forwards and locks eyes with Christy, "Look, we'll make sure we get the correct yield, we'll do tests on dummies, and we'll even be on standby just in case. You have Health Insurance right? Then a Trauma Team'll be on sight in minutes... Trust me, at most you'll get a few cuts and scratches."
...
"I want to see the tests..."
"You got it."
"I want you to test it too." she continues.
He smiles 'warmly', "Sure." he offers as Rebecca stifles her own grin.
-------------------------
[Alright, Fae's on sight. Head in, Rebecca.] Ori orders as Fae enters the brunch resteraunt. She enters casually, taking a seat at a booth directly next to Fae's and placing her 'purse' underneath her seat. She does order some food of course, a stack of pancakes to be specific...
Regardless, while she shovels the sweets into her mouth, Sasha's voice draws his attention.
"Ori, Animals nearby, probably waiting to jump Christy if she shows..." she alerts him, showing him the feed of a hacked camera, an alleyway down the street with three parked cars filled with the burly mercs. Unfortunately for them, they lacked a Netrunner, leaving them sitting ducks for Ori's crew.
"I-Is it off then...?" Christy asks from the backseat of the truck.
Ori shakes his head, "Nah, I've been meaning to have a chat with them anyway." he states, the chances of them being the very same that killed his father were pretty high considering. He tosses the detonator to Sasha and steps out, "You coordinate things from here, I'll deal with our friends... Oh, and get a scrambler set up, can't risk them alerting the targets."
Sasha nods after fumbling with the detonator and breathing a sigh of relief at the safety measures. "It'll be up in five."
"Good," he grabs Bore but thinks again and tosses it back into the car. No point in starting a shootout in the centre of Wellsprings. Besides, the Animals were more likely to take it as a direct challenge if he went without... His revolvers would stay of course, going completely unarmed would be retarded.

บท 161: Smoke
Ori stops on the sidewalk and glances down the alleyway, locking eyes with one of the three drivers. The burly man glares at him but he just smirks, causing the man to scowl deeply. The guy's expression morphs however when Ori begins stepping into the alley.
"Oi... Are you stupid or just insane, friend?" he growls as he rolls the window down.
Ori shrugs, "You tell me, you're the ones eying me up like I'm a doll whore. I don't swing that way and you lookin' at me like that pisses me off." he rolls his shoulders before cracking his neck and knuckles, "So, any of you man enough to settle this? Or are you the prissy sort of fags?"
"Gonk fuck-head, you see who you're talkin' to!? Shit, I'll beat your skull in myself." the driver angrily says, getting out of the car and slamming the door.
Almost a foot taller than Ori, the guy would've scared off most others with his physique alone. Unfortunately for him, in this case he was all bark and no bite.
When the guy stops in front of Ori his head is thrown upwards by a hard uppercut that launches his bottom teeth up fast enough that it shears through the ones above them. Blood and tooth fragments spray out into the air, and the guy slowly topples backwards, landing in a heap as all the animals watch in surprise.
Ori drops a foot on the sleeping guy's face, "That all you got? Should've figured, a guy your size is only good for giving, not taking..." he glances at the other Animals, "The rest of you are the bottom I assume?"
"Oh hell no! I'm not taking shit from this rat!"
"I fucked more girls than you've seen bitch!"
"You'll be the bottom when I'm done with you!"
With that, the Animals all jump outta their cars and charge Ori, swinging fists, bats, and other weapons to bring him down.
Ori blocks the first bat with an arm, snapping it as he counterattacks, bringing out the elbow spikes as he strikes the man in the chest. The bone goes straight through the man's shoulders, forcing him to the floor as Ori continues the movement.
Dodged kicks, blocked punches, and returned headbutts, the brawl quickly became bloody as Animals slowly started dropping. The fight had gotten deep enough that even if the scrambler hadn't been set up, none of them would have realised their target had shown.
-------------------
"Do you think she suspects anything?" Fae questions Sheila as she savours her salad.
Sheila shrugs, "Doubt it, you saw how clingy she was. Probably thinks we're best friends." she sniffs derisively.
"I don't know... Maybe it was an act...? We did the same-, and she wasn't that friendly before then."
"Pfft, she's probably just scared, she's got no one else to talk to about the 'attacks'."
"Yeah... I guess you're right. Whatever, things should be done today." Fae mutters, glancing out the window and straightening slightly as she spots Christy. "There she is... Any moment now..."
...
"Why haven't they moved yet...?" Sheila questions, referring to the Animals.
Fae frowns, "I-I don't know... Wait... Doesn't Christy look..." she trails off, focussing on the singer.
She wasn't wrong, Christy was taking small, tentative steps with a look of apprehensive fear on her face. But wait, if she knew about the ambush why would she show...? No... That isn't right...?"
"Do you hear something... Buzzing...?" Sheila wonders aloud, and Fae quickly pales.
"WE NEED TO MO-"
*BOOOOOOOOM!!!*
The restaurant explodes, all the windows shattering simultaneously as the few customers present are thrown out of their seats. The distance between them and the bomb was close enough to grant horrific injuries, but most would survive with help of the many Trauma Teams that'd been sent.
The same could not be said for the two BD Stars, who were almost directly in the centre of the explosion. There was a better chance of turning a man into a pickle than restoring their warped, mangled, and misshapen bodies. Even then, their careers would be over, as they would be too grotesque to show on any screen.
Christy, of course, is also caught by the explosion. Glass fragments and fire catch her, peppering her with lacerations and burns. All were non-lethal however. She lets out a loud cry as she tumbles to the ground, people around the street stopping to observe the terrorist attack that'd just occurred.
Minutes later, before the police sirens could even sound, multiple AVs flew down from the sky, one hurriedly loading Christy inside to be treated. The others dropped off many Trauma Teams who sprinted into the burning building and dragged out their clients, taking them directly to the Med Center.
[Targets Eliminated.] Sasha reports over the group chat before glancing over at Rebecca, "Let's grab Ori, we need to leave before the NCPD can lock the place down."
-----------------
Ori blocks a kick and grabs the offending leg, throwing the Animal into the ball hard enough to crack their skull. He then turns his attention to the three men remaining out of the group, who were having to step over their unconscious comrades to reach him.
Two of them were already looking at one another, deciding that it'd be better to escape than try and fight the maniac before them. Their hands end up getting cut off at the wrists as they reach their cars as Sasha and Rebecca finally arrive.
"Time to go."
Ori snaps the bone spikes from his elbows and discards them, "I need a couple of these guys to interrogate. Kill the rest.
"Grab some then." Rebecca remarks, shooting a silenced shot into the head of one of the screaming cripples.
Ori nods, throwing two of the Animals who he suspects are the leaders of the group over his shoulders. He makes his way to the car as Rebecca finishes off anyone who wasn't already dead.
