"Well I went to work, and then I saw these LPI people at the door. They were friggin waiting for me. Its not everyday the LPI waits for you. I thought there must be a mistake. Yup there was a mistake. Yup and tats my mistake to begin with in the first place". He shook his head in disappointment as the said the last part.
"Well they cuffed me and took me up to the Boss' s office."
"I didn't know what was happening until they showed me the security feed. There i was all sloshed and blabbering like a monkey in the front gate of the factory. The girl was next to me. The guards showed up and next few seconds of the security feed was me totally incoherent and oblivious to my surroundings, the guards and the girl talking. Then suddenly she pounced on the guards and with a repertoire of moves incapacitated them. She then took out my security card from my pocket and opened the security lock to the section B5 door"
He half laughed as he continued. " You sure don't wanna piss this girl off. "
He looked to his right at the girls giggling at a nearby table. With his gaze still upon them he continued " The next few minutes of the security feed .... this gal walks f from room to room searching for something, while the other camera that showed the front gate, there Iwas passed out on the floor."
He returned his gaze back to the barkeep. "She finally found what she was looking for. She picked the safe in the boss's office, took out a PDA and walked back out.."
"She came to the front gate, whiped out her PDA and started talking to someone. Minutes later a shuttle came in and two guys came out. They hauled my sorry ass into the shuttle and took off."
He sighed. "Turns out I've become a security liability and my services were no longer required in Baltimore,".
"Well they wanted to haul me off to Fort Bush for questioning. As they were leading me out to the back alarms were ringing off. Pirate attack . Yup that did stir up the folks inside. In the ensuing chaos that followed, i suddenly got a nasty feeling that something was behind me. I turned to look back and i see three guys steadying their guns at us. Whatya know, a friggin gunfight breaks out. I layed low on the ground as lazers were being fired around me. One of the LPI drops dead next to me."
He took in a short breath. Leaned back a bit. "Somebody upthere likes me. This guy had the keys to my cuffs. I quickly used them to unlock my cuffs and took off. Stole a shuttle from the parking hangars and scooted away from there. Got to the nearest ATM in Newark. Withdrew all my credits. Had half a mind to go to Manhattan, but decided against it. Been on the run ever since.".
He stretched a bit.
"While I was in Beaumont base in Texas system, i got word from a junker the The Black Cherry || Blackport 66 's Night Club and Bar could be the place where I can find work as a mechanic. Well here i am trying my luck."
He looked at the barkeep straight in the eye, hoping somewhat wishfully he could help him.
