Summary
Mr. Johnson lost his dog! He's requested that a pair of runners help get her back from a few punks. Chaos ensues.
Background
The post was vague - all that was specified was that Mr. Johnson needed an extraction performed.
The Meet
A far cry from the professional attitude displayed online, Mr. Johnson turned out to be a personable Irish man when J4ck R4bbit and Ashford met him in Montana Marv's bar, out in Snohomish. After buying J4ck a drink, he gets down to the point - he's lost his dog, and his daughter would be absolutely devastated if Lassie didn't come back. A promise of easy money and the praise of his daughter is enough to get the pair on board, and they're off to find the dog a couple blocks away, in what might be an abandoned frat house.
The Plan
After some Astral scouting by Ashford revealed that Johnson wasn't lying about a half dozen punks hanging out up front (and that Lassie was apparently present on the Astral), the runners elected for the stealthy approach: turn invisble, blow a hole in the building and cover up the noise with a spell.
The Run
Ashford opened by casting an invisibility spell on both himself and J4ck R4bbit while J4ck cut their way through the chain link fence blocking off the house's yard, and then it was off to the races. While Ashford knew little about explosives and J4ck knew less, Ashford managed to sneak close, plant a charge in a convenient crack in the abandoned building, and scamper for cover.
With the quietest 'kaboom' in history, a hole was opened. J4ck snuck through. A simple, quiet call of her name was enough to set Lassie moving, and the pair were off scot free - at least until one of the orks appeared in the doorway of the room. Staring into a room with Lassie and an invisible J4ck, he asked the best question he could: "Did the dog blow up the wall?"
While he stood slackjawed, J4ck took careful aim. A single shot, silenced by Ashford's spell, and the only witness to Lassie's escape was bleeding on the floor. It was a quick trip down the block after that.
Aftermath
Johnson was overjoyed to get Lassie back, and happily handed over a credstick to each of the runners, congratulating them on a quick, straightforward solution while having absolutely no idea of what they'd done.

Ashford - "Hell of a thing this was, proved to me at least that silence is a spell everyone, or at least every runner, should know at some point their life. Singlehandedly made this a triviality."
