A: Voice 1
B: Voice 2
A: I'm not going to enjoy hearing this, am I?
B: No. The Davidson woman is gone. The garage is wrecked, thoroughly
stripped. No bodies, of course.
A: None at all?
B: This is Hell's Kitchen, and the ghouls are downright adventurous. I
gather some people actually make deals with them.
A: Incredible. How do you bear living in a city like that?
B: I don't. It's well away from me. No ghouls here in Fort Lewis...
A: Speaking of which, do you need more help with your expansion?
B: I'm afraid so, Don Malone. Losing a dozen heavy hitters... hurt us
badly. We're still taking hit-and-run attacks all over Bartolo's old turf.
Five, six a week. Just a few shots, but I'm getting guys wounded and
one or two killed. It's bad for business, nobody wants to be near our
people.
A: That's bad. Very bad. You're dealing with someone smart and
organised. Which brings me to my next point. That obstruction at the
north end of your new territory.
B: Yeager Field? The mercs?
A: No, not them. Avoid them. The Elven bitch.
B: Easy? Be careful saying things like that-
A: I remember when she was dancing naked on tables, Eric. She has
pretensions beyond her talents. She's also sitting on a very valuable
piece of real estate. Barrens land with power and water? I want you to
take that.
B: She'll object. I'm not in shape to fight a war with her.
A: I'll reinforce you, never fear. Use the street gangs, too, put some
money around. And I can make the cops into allies as well.
B: People have tried squeezing her before...
A: Not particularly competently.
You took Bartolo, you can take Easy. She had Federal friends, well,
they're dead. She's got support, that can be erased. The Metroplex think
she's an embarrasment and they'd be delighted if she disappeared.
B: Okay. I'll need more time, but okay.
A: Word of warning. If you hear she's dead, demand proof. A lot of people
have died and come back. She did, and she turned Heihachi's New Year
party into a bloodbath. Understand?
B: Yeah. I figured _that_ already. Should I use shadowrunners?
A: If you need the talent, sure. Be wary, though, they're unreliable.
B: I know. Okay. I got some ideas.
