Ed drives downtown, back to the Manhattan Grills. The parking lot is empty, short of 2-3 cars, and a bike with a sidecar. "I'll wait for you guys here, I"ll go get myself a coffee at the stuffer shack across the street first." Ed kills the engine and walks across the street to the stuffer shack. ==========
The restaurant is empty, short of a few orkish buzz-boys and cooks playing cards at some table, talking in some language you never heard before. One of them noticed you and points backward with his thumb at wooden doors "Jackson's in the back room, you know the way."
In the back room, nothing as changed since you came here 2 days ago. Jackson's sitting there, looking...not-so-pleased.
There's another man siting on the table. A tall human, higher than 6 feet, wearing a denim coat, black gloves and a gunslinger hat. Jorinda immediately recognized him at her front door neighbor: John Hardcastle.
"Jackson snarled when you come in "About time you arrived, sit down...What the hell happened?"

Jorinda hugs Hardcastle back, though he can tell that she is more than a bit stressed out when she winces at the touch of his cyberlimbs. When they are close together, she whispers "I've been better."
The embrace doesn't last long. Jackson was pissed, and she wasn't about to keep him waiting on her. To lighten the mood a touch, she pulls out the chair and after turning it backwards, straddles the seat, resting her arms on the top of the chair's low back.
"I'll tell you what happened. Some gangers showed up trying to blow up the store. We managed to chase them off. You're welcome." She was clearly irritated.
"Unfortunately, the Star decided to actually investigate the matter and wound up hauling us off for questioning, and eventually let the two of us go. Gunther went apeshit though, and they shot him. They took him to the hospital though." She seems a bit relieved at that bit of news. After the Ripper killings, she didn't want to lose any more friends.

When everyone is sitting, Jackson speaks up " You're VERY lucky that I was awake at the time when Bastion called me, or else you would all be rotting in a cell. Now those punkass Crashers are making me look like a fool in front of my peers!" He waved his black hand around the empty room, like trying to point out his 'peers'. " This is not something that'll side like water on the back of a duck. I want you to get in Redmond and get them to pay dearly for what they done." He takes out 3 creds sticks and gives one to each of you "Here's 2000 nuyen for the guard job. Hardcastle, you get Gunther's part since he might be out for a while. "Ill give you 10 000 Nuyen if you manage to take care of those low-lives, you can keep anything you found, I don't care." He look s at you 3 sitting at the table. "Do we got a deal?"

"You want us to take out the Crashers?" Jorinda says, tucking the credstick into a well concealed pocket. She wouldn't mind, but then again, she didn't shoot at a person unless they shot at her first. The guys though, were itching for a chance at them.
On the other hand, there was nothing wrong with helping to lead the Crashers into an ambush. "I'm sure we can arrange it." Jorinda replies. She looks to Hardcastle and Xenomarch. "So, shall we get some rest, or head to Redmond?"

Jorinda looks at the two and shrugs. She was outvoted. Well, maybe she could grab a soykaff on the way to Redmond. But she was going to need some real ammo.
"Well then, let's go, but I do need to make a couple stops before we hit Redmond."

Jorinda rolls her eyes. She never shot at anyone that wasn't shooting at her first, and here she was leading a team to take out some gangers. If that didn't qualify as black irony, she didn't know what would. She starts to lead them outside to Ed and the waiting Americar.
"First things first. We're going to need some ammo. All I got on me is gel rounds. So unless one of you has a nice stash squirrelled away, the next stop is the local gun shop...cause I don't got any black market contacts."
