It’s A Dirty Job, But It Might As Well Be You Getting Paid For It
Shatterframe keeps the crammed sedan on the freeway to keep anyone from getting a fix on Enforcer 2’s location. Obrik falls silent, letting the Runners do their job.
[sblock=Intimidate] Hawkeye: (Aggression+Obscurative+Analysis)= 59+83(d100)+25(Syd assist)=167, Enforcer 2: 80+50=130 [/sblock]
Enforcer 2 does not immediately respond to the threats, but the Runners can tell they got into her head. She swallows to steady her nerves and says, “It’s not that I think that you won’t kill me, but in order for you to get what you want I have to fear you more than Scarlet Pips. I don’t. You can only kill me once, but Scarlet Pips can kill me, wake me up, and kill me again over and over just to put the fear of disloyalty in the rest of the Dead Lions.”
[sblock=Negotiate] Trollick: Readiness+Negotiate+Tranquility=74+78=152, Enforcer 2: 80+14(d100)-37(Intimidated)=57 [/sblock]
The sinister threats of Syd Vicious and Hawkeye coupled with the calm offer of a way out from Trollick breaks Enforcer 2’s will.
She opens her mouth, swallows to steady her nerves again, and says, “Scarlet Pips hired outside the gang to do the Billingtons, cause he didn’t want the blowback in case this went sideways. A couple of scabs called Mandi Pinkins and Grebeto Glitterface (the two you already have a file on) killed the family. They did the father right away, but they took their time with the mother and the kids. They did gross stuff. I’m a necromancer and I consider those two the worst kind of slime. Captain Towers saw what they did to the family, but she covered it up like she was supposed to. The problem is HPD has a reputation for looking the other way, but if this gets out it could cause a crackdown by the city council. If they had just killed the family it would be one thing, business is business after all, but the rape/torture, especially of the kids, would be too much. If it gets out, Towers won’t just lose her career over this, she’ll lose her head.”
Enforcer 2 smiles at the Runners and says, “But y’all don’t care about that. This is just work for you, I get it. Listen, you’ve got me dead to rights, but if the Dead Lions find out I squealed it will be just as bad for me as it will be for Towers. I know where Pinkins and Glitterface are holed up waiting for the heat to die down and I’ll give you the address if you agree to let me go. Then you can try and navigate your way through the Dead Lions protecting them and the HPD trying to protect their own butts. Who knows, you guys might actually live to fulfill the contract.”
She gets a sly gleam in her eyes, “On the other hand, I’ll pay you twice what your contract is on Pinkins and Glitterface right now to let me out of the car, drive off and go back to your lives. You can just say you never found them.”
State intentions and give me a list of 5 rolls. You don’t have to state what they’re for, I’ll use them as needed.
