	Miss Johnson, a clear and evident newcomer to the scene, wants a pair of Medicine Pouches returned to her people where they belong~~, and~~ has arranged to be out of state delivering a speech on the night of the heist; thereby providing herself with a solid alibi.

	The Johnson proves to be entirely clueless, prompting suspicion that she couldn't possibly be as niave as she appears. But her blunders and verbal slips come so fast and frequent that it soon becomes clear they truly are dealing with an innocent - especially when Miss Johnson bursts into tears partway through the negotiations. Shine sighs, follows her outside, and briefly coaches her on what is -actually- supposed to happen at a meet. By the time the two women return to the table, Zenith has abandoned his attempts to wrangle more money from the Johnson and agrees to the initial offer of 10K.

	Zenith gets to the party first. With Harriet's testimony and Vip3r providing remote Matrix support from her car, Zenith is able to identify the man as a security guard he shot in the face with Stick and Shock at a hit two weeks ago - the same hit where, it turns out, he assassinated Harriet's girlfriend's father. Vip3r is able to track the girlfriend and her abductor back to the dead man's home. The Prof (sitting in the passenger seat of Vip3r's car) and Shine riding on her bike alongside are both very much aware that some sort of drama is in progress. Zenith and Vip3r take the gamble of asking for their help, and both react with varying degrees of reluctance until the full story comes out~~. It's not just any hooding retrieval run. This is personal, another runner needs them, and a girl's life could be at stake~~.		Zenith gets to the party first.

	A few calls are made to contacts. [[Sarah Snow]] is called by Zenith. [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III\|Brodie J]] is called by Shine. A picture emerges of this bodyguard, Isaac, a decent, dutiful man working for a reprehensible boss who made a lot of enemies in his line of work and let slip a little too much about his business in the presence of his daughter. Isaac hasn't abducted the girl. He's protecting her. And judging by the heat that could be coming down on him, he needs help.		A few calls are made to contacts. [[Sarah Snow]] is called by Zenith.

Isaac hasn't abducted the girl. He's protecting her. And judging by the heat that could be coming down on him, he needs help.

	The Prof manifests at the house, scaring Isaac half to death, and explains that help is on the way. She tells Isaac that his principle's girlfriend has a father who runs a security film - and that hhe has sent a team to help defend the house. Issac takes some convincing, but seems relieved when the team appear in the meat and immediately begin fortifying the place. Shine starts smashing tables and nailing the slippery, varnished wood over the stairs to create obstacles, makes caltrops from kitchen knives, and asks the Prof to make smoke bombs and nail bombs from common household items. Zenith approaches the girl, and takes her through how to use the pistol he is about to give her. Then, while Shine, Isaac and Zenith finish turning the house into something approached a prepared defensive position, the Prof and Vip3r lock themselves in different bathrooms and take cover in the bathtubs. While Prof goes Astral and summons an air spirit to act as eyes and ears outside, Vip3r takes over the house's security system. They ~~abandoned~~ the first floor altogether. Shine and Isaac take overwatch positions by the top of the stairs where they can see the second floor balcony clearly~~, and~~ Zenith takes up position on the roof.

	It's Vip3r who first spots the opposition and resonance spikes their car. Realising the approach is too obvious and that this car is likely a diversion, Zenith spots a second vehicle approaching from the north; running silently and without lights. The Prof sends her spirit to attack the occupants and heads into the Astral to confront the mage she spots within directly. Shine puts some rounds down through the open door of the southern car while three of the runner's within make a sprint for the ground floor entrance. Vip3r coordinates from inside the bathtub and sends the home ~~defense~~ drone to intercept the southern attack group. The assassins gun it down easily, but it does the job of buying the fraction of a second Zenith needs to race across the roof and put a round in the back of one member of the southern group while Shine drops the nail bomb on top of them.

	With the Southern group reduced to chunky salsa, the runners turns their attention northward. Unbeknownst to the others, Prof has been riddled with bullets upon manifesting and her summoned spirit is gone. She hurts the opposition mage, badly, but she's forced to retreat, bloodied and bleeding, back into her own meat. She buys the team the time they need, however. Zenith drops a massive troll sprinting towards the house on the North Side with a single, well placed shot, and geeks the opposing mage right before its fire spirit manifests inside the house to rip Isaac apart.

			'''[[Shine]]:'''

			Why do I -always- get the runs where there's some follow-up required that doesn't involve pay? First hitting that damn Banruka parlour -twice- and now this? The last thing I need is a rep as a do-gooding hooder. But how am I supposed to walk away from a child in danger? I'm still a medic, no? Still a health care professional. Even if I no longer wear the logo I gave my life too. Tabarnacle! This will not be the end of it. This I know. They will simply send another team. And another. And another. Until the girl is dead.

			Merde! I feel another hooding run is very much on the cards. How is a woman supposed to make a dishonest living running the shadows like this?

She lied to her dad (surprise, surprise) and is at a college party. Zenith takes the news remarkably well until he learns that Harriet's girlfriend, Gabriella Davis, has been snatched from the party.

	Between Vip3r's hacking skills and the Professor's Astral Recon, the team soon build up a good picture of the dead-man's house and the location and activities of those inside. The girl is sealed in the elevator shaft - most likely the most armoured and defensible part of the house- and the man is pacing up and down by the front door, agitated and concerned. Yet something about his behaviour strikes Shine as off. He's the ~~girls~~ former bodyguard, in a sense, but why take an abductee back to their home? Shine begins to wonder if the bodyguard isn't simply a concerned adult looking out for a teenaged girl. The group review the security cam footage of the "abduction" and realise that while Gabby and the security guard had a brief argument, it wasn't heated, and the girl wasn't physically coerced.

			===[[Zenith]]===
			I hate complications, especially on simple jobs. I mean I was planning on robbing the University anyway, but it was painfully easy. HOWEVER, everything falls apart right at the last second because I have some personal drek that gets in the way of my professional drek. Now I try and keep my life fairly private, but this seems to be a matter of it coming back to bite me for not doing a good enough job. Don't get me wrong, Vip3r is good people, she's one that I can trust with my secret. Shine and Professor also seem like they're solid professionals, however the more people who know about my personal life, the less comfortable I am.

			We find out what happened and we go to where some other criminals are trying to grab a kid, we decide that we're gonna play the good guys for this run and defend the home so they don't grab the kid they're after, and also they all end up dead. The team packs up, makes sure that the kid's safe and her guardian isn't having second thoughts about protecting her, then we leave cause we're technically trespassing and almost certainly guilty of murder at worst and manslaughter at best.

			I don't like killing when I'm not getting paid for it, but it had to be done this time. Frag I need a drink.

Isaac hasn't abducted the girl. He's protecting her. And judging by the heat that could be coming down on him, he needs help.

	The Prof manifests at the house, scaring Isaac half to death, and explains that help is on the way. He tells Isaac that his principle's girlfriend has a father who runs a security film - and that he has sent a team to help defend the house. Issac takes some convincing, but seems relieved when the team appear in the meat and immediately begin fortifying the place. Shine starts smashing tables and nailing the slippery, varnished wood over the stairs, makes caltrops from kitchen knives, and asks the Prof to make smoke bombs and nail bombs from common household items. Zenith approaches the girl, and takes her through how to use the pistol he is about to give her. Then, while Shine, Isaac and Zenith finish turning the house into something approached a prepared defensive position, the Prog and Vip3r lock themselves in different bathrooms and take cover in the rubs. While Prof goes Astral and summons an air spirit to act as eyes and ears outside, Vip3r takes over the house security system. They abandoned the first floor altogether. Shine and Isaac take overwatch positions by the top of the stairs where they can see the second floor balcony clearly and Zenith takes up position on the roof.

	It's Vip3r who first spots the opposition and ~~dataspikes~~ their car. Realising the approach is too obvious and that this car is likely a diversion, Zenith spots a second vehicle approaching from the north; running silently and without lights. The Prof sends her spirit to attack the occupants and heads into the Astral to confront the mage she spots within directly. Shine puts some rounds down through the open door of the ~~second~~ car while three of the runner's within make a sprint for the ground floor entrance. Vip3r coordinates from inside the bathtub and sends the home defence drone to intercept the southern attack group. The assassins gun it down easily, but it does the job of buying the fraction of a second Zenith needs to race across the roof and put a round in the back of one member of the southern group while Shine drops the nail bomb on top of them.

	With the Southern group reduced to chunky Salsa, the runners turns their attention northward. Unbeknownst to the others, Prof has been riddled with bullets upon manifesting and his spirit is gone. She hurts the ~~opfor~~ mage, badly, but she's forced to retreat, bloodied and bleeding, back into her own meat. She buys the team the time they need, however. Zenith drops a massive troll sprinting towards the house on the North Side with a single, well placed shot, and geeks the opposing mage right before it's fire spirit manifests inside the house to rip Isaac apart.

The girl is sealed in the elevator shaft - most likely the most armoured and defensible part of the house- and the man is pacing up and down by the front door, agitated and concerned. Yet something about his behaviour strikes Shine as off. He's the girls former bodyguard, in a sense, but why take an abductee back to their home? Shine begins to wonder if the bodyguard isn't simply a concerned adult looking out for a teenaged girl.
