\+/ Night City Stories \+/ Chapter 61 - Stragglers Several days have past since the crew has seen each other together. Carter sits on the roof of his apartment complex in a lawn chair overlooking a bustling district at night. A light drizzle of rain has checked in for the night shift as he swigs his beer. Carter glances over to an empty lawn chair beside him. He hears the feint giggle of a woman in his head causing him to get out of the chair, walk to the edge of the roof and put his foot on the edge of the overhang. He calmy watches the path the raindrops travel as he stares down at the 5 story dead drop below him. He sees various cars driving by and the tops of several neon umbrellas as he takes another swig of his beer. The woman's voice then echos in his head: "Whether you decide to stay with them or walk away doesn't matter Carter... I'm yours... You know that." He then hears his own voice: "Like i said before doll... This is it. My last ride.... then we're outta here... We've talked about this. You know that." "Memory fades as time changes my love.... Be careful what you choose to hold onto.. I choose to hold onto you." She replies in a whisper. Hearing this causes him to slam the beer bottle on the roof shattering it as the stray sounds of the city take back over and he puts his hands on his head... racked with guilt. The drizzle quickly turns to rain, masking his tears as the rolling thunder creeps into the atmosphere. The gentle pattering of rain taps on the windows of Audrey's clinic. Brian leaned up against a wall with his arms crossed stares out the window in deep thought as he hears Zaunya's voice in his head: "You wanna talk about trust..? I don't even know who the fuck you are." This causes him to look back at her passed out on Audrey's ripper chair with Audrey jacked in and working on her. He goes back to looking out the window but only briefly before breaking the silence. "How is she." He asks Audrey in a soft tone as he walks over. "Not sure... I'm doing a full scan.. not really finding anything fucked with on but they hit her with some serious anesthetics.. Fucking monsters. I don't think the-" "And how are you." Brian asks cutting her off. They both pause for a clear moment as the light sounds of beeping machines and Audrey rummaging through tools are heard.. She ignores him, so he continues. "What happened in there." He asks in a deep, serious tone. She ignores him. "Adurey..." He says. She ignores him. "Do you wanna talk about it?" She pauses even longer as the room sits silent with only the sound of pattering rain on the windows. "No....." She finally replies in a soft tone while still working on Zaunya. This hits Brian hard. Feeling the personal responsibility behind her hurt. The lack of information tortures his imagination. After another extended period of tense silence, she changes subject. "Who the fuck were those guys.." Audrey says as she disconnects from Zaunya's neuro port and gently lays her head down. Zaunya rolls over onto her side facing her back towards them in her sleep. "Probably doin' merc work for the scavs based on the shit i saw in there. They had me in some sort of holding or interrogation room. Could be like some pre-screening shit they do before they rip. Saw a bunch of equipment and uhhmm.." Brian stops himself causing Audrey to glance back at him "What is it?" "I found a girl in there... couldn't have been a day older than 20." Brian says causing Audrey to turn and look at him. He continues. "She um..." Brian lightly shakes his head and looks away as he fails to express the words. Audrey picks up on this but says nothing as the pair share a long silence together while some time passes.... allowing the heavy pattering of rain on the windows to take over. Audrey eventually breaks the silence. "Well..." "Well what." He replies. Audrey looks back at him without saying anything. The expression on her face is more than enough for him to pick up on what shes implying. The message of this look is clearly read by him in her eyes. Brian continues. "The choom who helped me clean the place. Carter. Told me hes got history with these gonks. Shit runs deep. They're seriously stacked...but he said he knows where they stash their shit. Should be able to find all of our shit... everything that we're owed.... the-" Audrey slowly stands up, causing Brian to abruptly stop speaking as she slowly steps towards him maintaining deep eye contact. The heavy taps of her boots on the linoleum close the distance between her and Brian. "We have to finish it." Audrey says in a serious tone looking Brian deep in his eyes. The pair stand face to face with each other as Brian gives Audrey a silent nod. Audrey steps past Brian to walk outside. Some time has passed and the bright lights of Audrey's clinic have gone dim and the various machines purr idle. Zaunya's eyes open slowly as she wakes up. She quickly notices that shes in Audrey's shop which calms her. She rolls over onto her side to see Brian right next to her in Audrey's chair soundly asleep. The sentiment hits Zaunya hard. Having someone who cares about her in this way is a foreign concept to her. The life of a sworn shield to a megacorp like PetroChem is home to no sentimental bonds or camaraderie. She breaks the silence in her gruff, femanine voice. "I've had PetroChem special security agents scorched and lashed for falling asleep on a watch." She says in a soft, groggy tone gently waking Brian up. She smiles softly at him. Brian sees Zaunya laying on her side facing him. He quickly sits up and looks at her with happiness and concern.
I’m loving Anime Judy in a bikini. As a straight-white man, I’m taking Meredith Stout. Yes she’s corpo scum, but she’s also a total freak in the sack. And honestly, I like her a lot more than Panam, who just drives you headlong into ambush after ambush. And yes, I like Judy more than either. But again, she ain’t getting with me. So Meredith it is.
Hey, my Chooms! Which CP2077 girl would you take to the beach with you? And nope, picking all of them isn’t allowed! ☀
