Summary
The team was hired by two separate J's to act as bodyguards for them on some business that they had to keep secret from their families. After a brief moment the teams figured out they were bodyguards for a date night of two mafia kids. The team successfully guarded them through the nights events but word still got back to their parents of their forbidden love. The J's paid their dues to the runners and were to varying degrees of obviousness punished by their parents with Romeo's father heard yelling across the entire mansions grounds while Juliets house was put on immediate lockdown.
Background
Romeo and Juliet are involved in forbidden love being from two separate, opposed mafia families and had been planning for months to have a date night. Knowing they had to keep it secret they came to the shadows for bodyguards as they couldn't rely on their usual retinue for the business at hand.
The Meet
The meet was broken up into two separate meets with Romeo hiring Samsara and Skimmer while Juliet hired Pell and Relay. The two J's attempted to feign their work being a genuine business deal going down that needed to remain on the downlow but it was quickly discovered once the two parties met that it was a date night with the fear that one or both families may find out and make an attempt on the other families heir. Neither party attempted to negotiate for more money and the nights events were underway an hour later.
The Plan
The teams plan was simply to ensure the safety of what they discovered were two principals with Samsara using a Bodyguard BTL and everyone else just keeping a close watch on all of those around.
The Run
The team was hired by Juliet and Romeo in two separate pairs to act as their respective bodyguards for a "business deal," that ended up being a date night they were trying to keep secret from their respective families. The team met up at Cinema 3k and worked together to thwart Romeo's families attempted hit on Juliet. From there they had dinner at Le Bistro without any obvious attempts on their J's but Relay and Pell spotted two small figures bolting from underneath Romeo's limo. Upon examination Relay discovered a shaped-charge under the gas line that he was able to remove and hand to Samsara, the latter of which juggled until it was manually detonated and hugged it to their chest suffering only blowback with some char landing on their face and hair. On their way to the final stop of the night the team spotted two pursuing limos that also noticed each other and drew weapons to fight. Relay convinced Juliets driver to allow him to jump-into their own vehicle and stunted an impromptu roadblock to stop the two pursuers and the two teams were able to ride off to the final destination successfully losing their tails. Romeo and Juliet closed out the night with their business transaction, a "package exchange," before heading back home with their parents having learned of their relationships. They paid the team and headed off for their respective punishments.
Aftermath
Team completed the date night without any harm coming to either J but their secret did get out. Both of them are being punished to varying degrees. Could lead to a potential follow-up run to bail them out or just get them away from their family.
