the other team for what we were paying the other team? How about double

More like breaking that hand that slapped you. That hand won't slap you
again and the otehr hand will be pretty wary of the consequences of slapping
you. A corp-sponsored hit-team would make short work of nearly any runner
team in a quiet and efficient manner (Desert Wars is just training for these
guys after all). So would a good shadowrunner team, though.
