Summary
Sometimes runs are simple
Sometimes runs are sweet
Sometimes chasing after
A target that's quite fleet
A tale of lies and alibis is squashed beneath fast feet
Though robberies and trickeries
are as simple as many say
Sometimes the truth really lies behind
The Red Eyes of the Jay
Background
Isolde the Crafter is a deeply fortunate woman, when it comes to Redmond talismongers. Well supplied and furnished and able to do business despite not really owing anything to the gangs like the Crimson Crush in the area who demand payment from others, for some reason. But on the night of the 14th, that luck ran out - the Ancients have no qualms taking as they please, and that includes a plethora of reagents and a foci that had just been finished for a client. The danger of leaving that in the hands of a massive, growing gang and the financial difficulties it would bring about (not to mention how much of a liability she would become if she were to be compromised) made it a top priority to get that focus back. Thinking fast, she contacted a local fixer named Big Donny who could hopefully gather a group of runners on the fly to assist in the recovery.
The Golden Jay found itself a fresh new target.
The Meet
The Don called upon as many runners as he could, but 5 answered the call: Fennec, Dango, Memento Mori, Skull, and Meretseger. A rushed group but it would have to do. He explained the situation and the job: find the group of Ancients who took the foci and the reagents and get them back, mostly the focus. The rest was replaceable after all, but that had a link. He offered 6k to each of them at first as Isolde went to get security footage, and Fennec saw the opportunity to both needle him for his open heart and bring up the price to 8k a head, much to his chagrin. With that, the team got a look at the grainy, damaged footage and could make out a rough direction of travel, and the hunt was on.
The Plan
This is the kind of rushed job that leads to a dearth of planning, at least in the moment. The main thing they plotted out was bringing both cars and leaving their bikes at the shop.
