[QUOTE="Mosier, post: 6880216, member: 6776381"] Herald fixes her with a steady glare. "Are you willing to bet your life on that? Personally, I'm not even willing to bet my payment on it. Imagine for a moment that this Johnson could get his prized scientist without paying a single nuyen, and all he has to do is kill some vagabonds on a rooftop who are already wounded." He lets the hypothetical sink in for a moment before continuing. "Even if he did not betray us, you must admit that he [I]will,[/I] if he can get away with it. No, my dear. We do this [I]my[/I] way. The rest of you stay with Woodley. I will meet the Johnson and give him Woodley's comlink. He'll pay us, and only after I'm safely away from him will you release Woodley, and send her coordinates to her comlink. Any plan that gives the Johnson a convenient way to kill us and take her will surely end badly. Besides," he says, flashing a perfect smile, "it's only business, n'est ce pas?" He neatly snatches the comlink from Woodley and tucks it into a jacket pocket. "Thank you, my dear. Chin up! They didn't go through all the trouble of extracting you just to kill you over some paydata. You're worth much more alive than dead." [/QUOTE]
