Summary
As the Light the Shadows campaign is starting to change the shadows, Sam finds himself on and odd job that puts him in the uncomfortable position of looking after the daughter of another runner.
Background
Light the Shadows is a concerted effort by the District Attorney Mark Donaghy and others in law enforcement to hit runners at their bottom line. Arrests are made when possible, but bank accounts, safe houses, the power to areas that harbor runners and all manner of tactics are on the table to make the lives of runners very difficult. The runner Pepe and his crew have been swallowed up by the tumult, leaving his daughter at home and unprotected.
The Call
Jacqueline Grant calls Sam out of the blue on a Thursday evening as he sits in his local sake bar enjoying a sweet potato roll. She's obviously a bit out of her element calling him like this, but she has a favor to ask. Relaying information from Pepe, she asks Sam to head to an apartment complex just a bit north of SEA-TAC. The job is to hang out and let her know if things are ok and she offers 5k ¥ for what seems like a pretty simple job.
Of course she's keeping some information back, mostly because Sam doesn't ask. But in that apartment complex Aki, otherwise known as the kid. Her father, the runner Pepe, called Jacqueline to ask if she could send someone to keep an eye on the place as his group is surrounded by police.
