Ghost Cartels - Dirty Pretty Money

Runners: Kitsune, Polo, Sirius, El Torro, Spirit, Blackout, Zipcode

Session One

...from zipCode's blog

An invite came through to a "private party" at Ticklers. Never one to refuse a chance to  look at the pretty ladies, I accepted. Needless to say when I arrived I barely had tme to scope out the talent before the others arrived and Ms Johnson was offering us another job! Appaently her boss was having trouble "cleaning" some cash and we had to "persuade" the target - Evan Goldman -  to help funnel the money through the company he worked for, Brackahaven Investments.

We headed on to downtown to scope out the office. Waiting until the chummer had gone home, Polo and  Sirius went in to find any dirt we could use against him. Kitsune followed the mark home while I did the Ghost-thing riding overwatch by crashing the buildings security systems ( they were bull-drek if you were wondering). Polo and Sirius hit paydirt - with a little help from me - to access Goldman's client's financial records.

We headed off to Goldman's place and basically snatched the chummer and took him to a meeting with Ms.J She told him unless he helped them launder the money then all his client's paydata would hit the matrix and they'd be ruined. Goldman agreed to help, and we were told to keep an eye on him.

24 hours later we're following Goldman through the street with Sirius riding shotgun with him. His car suddeny hangs a right heading straight into a multi-storey carpark.  Suddenly there's all kinds of trouble as bullets start flying towards us! Polo and Kitsure took-out a couple of goons and we began moving forwards to see what had happened to Orion and Goldman.

Session Two

...from zipCode's blog

While Kitsune and Polo made a bee-line for the carpark, our backup arrived, in the shape of Blackout's fancy sports car with Sirius, LT and Spirit riding shotgun. Blackout headed straight up the carpark walls while I collected my Ares Alpha and headed up the ramp - the down ramp of course! Spirit followed Polo up one stairwell, while LT and and  Sirus headed up another.

As I headed up the ramp, I could hear shots from above, Kitsune ahd obviosly arrived on the scene. A few seconds late as LT went running past meloaded for bear,  I spotted see a balck Mercury heading down the up-ramp from the level with Goldamn in the passanger seat, so I fired off a clip to dissuade them!.

Next thing I know, Polo materialised from nowhere and fragged the driver, casing the Mercury to swerve crazily into the side wall.. More shots echoed round from above, Obviously  LT has arrived on the scene,presumably swiftly follwed by Blackout and Sirius. The car crashes into the side-wall and some Yak chummer gets out shooting. He doesn't hang around to play and heads back up-level - at pace, with Polo in swift pursuit. Polo later tells me the chummer just flat ourt jumeped ove  the wall from the second storey and legged it into the Streets. I was busy dragging Goldman out of the Mercury when the drek hits the fan! Word comes across the commlink from Kitsune - "incoming choppers - looks like a full HRT-team!"  

With those magic words it was time to mike like a hockey player and get the puck outta there! I ditched the Alpha and, tried to make like a Citizen - leaving Goldman to Sirius. No idea how the others got out, but on the way to pick up a citi-bus I get the call from Sirius that Ms.J wants her to drop Goldman off and to meet at some warehouse in The Verge.

So I heads out to The Verge. Ms.J is very unhappy with Goldman, still at least she pays us off, I figured she might try to stiff us on the deal as it had all gone south! She decided to take Goldman for a quiet chat in her limo when a single shot rings out and the chummer's head just explodes! I hit the ground rapido, as did the others!

From the warehouse across the street some guy calls out that we're marked men and that there's a price on me and Polo's head. We headed over there, but he was long gone.  

Time to lay low for a bit (again)!

Later,
