Cake drove up to Lizzis' bar, today, we arrived after hours, as we had come to work, not to rest. Once again the shemales, Judy to be exact, had sent Regina a request to perform maintenance on the servers in the basement.

- Hey, Rita.

I said hello to the head bouncer who was standing at the entrance to the bar, as usual.

- Hey, David, did Judy pull you again?

- Why would she?

I shrugged and hugged the girl like a good friend.

- Hey! Don't be so handsy! He's not free anymore!

Panam couldn't help it when Rita's hands crawled up my back and grabbed my arse. However, I wasn't offended by it, rather it was somewhat boosting my self-esteem as she is a girl of undeniable beauty and her attention flattered me.

- Tz...

Rita let go of me and shook her head.

- She got you, didn't she, Tihonya?

- Rather I her...

I shook my head and grinned.

- ... I've been feeding her almost since the beginning of our acquaintance, not with burritos, but with dishes from natural products!

Rita whistled, then stepped aside to let Panam and me inside.

- You know where to go, Judy can't wait for you since early morning.....

- Is something wrong?

- Well...

Rita looked away.

- Just tell me.

- Trouble has happened... a representative of the Arasaki Corporation has been sacked from the bar....

- И? Isn't that a rare occurrence?

- It's not uncommon... but this time the thugs decided to take the records with them, so the girl was unusual. And of course, they didn't mess with our equipment. So you've got a lot of work to do.

- I hope they got the girl out of debt.

- Yeah... she's gonna be a bouncer for a couple of months on nothing but food until she works off your services and the parts she has to use. She starts today, so I think I'll introduce you on your way out.

- Why isn't she here now?

- She got fired, all the implants.

Rita swung a bat she'd never parted with across her throat.

- Wait, she got her implants knocked out?!

- Yeah, why?

- They took her to the ripper?

- Yeah, she was meeting a friend of hers and he took her to Vic's. What happened?

- Because she wasn't just a fun girl or an accountant, she was a motherfucking fighter! Only they need a ripper when they get fired, and they need it fast, otherwise they'll just die. Okay, I'll deal with it....

As I entered the bar, I dialled Victor.

- Hey kid, what's up?

- Hey Vic, I heard you had an interesting patient today.

- Why would I? I still have her. I don't know what to do with that stupid girl.

- Is it that bad?

- Yeah... you know me, if there's a recommendation or just a regular client, I can set something up for you, but here... there's too much to replace. She's literally blacked out! Corporate bitches.

I sighed.

- Is she conscious?

- Well... I can bring her round... but she won't last long.

- What about her boyfriend?

- Jackie? What's gonna happen to that dumb-ass?

- Wait, did you say Jackie? Isn't that Misty's boyfriend?

- That's the one... and he's also Mama Wells' son, from the El Coyote Cojo bar in the Glen....

- Hmmm...I've been in touch with him, give him my number, if he's really willing to sign for a friend, have him call me right away.

Saying this I entered the bar and calmly walked down the small corridor past the security post, entering the main hall.

- Got it, he'll call you back now.

I walked down the hall and I immediately received a call from an unknown person, which I hurriedly answered.

- Chumba, Vic said you wanted to hear from me?

- Yeah...you know your mate's not doing well, right?

- Well...

A guy's voice, although it was more like a man's, cos his image looked pretty brutal.

- I'll pay for her treatment and chrome replacement. Of course you can't count on Arasaki's chrome, but at least it'll be a complete set....

- Hmm? What do you want from me?

- I'll throw you a loan agreement...don't worry, the interest is not huge like in microloans, only ten per cent per annum. Of course, if it wasn't for Misty, I'd probably slap you with the full interest, forty per cent, but I know your girlfriend, and she'll give me a beaten puppy dog look on my next visit to Vic, if I do that. So ten per cent interest, with the stipulation that payments will only start if your girlfriend refuses to sign it after Vic's done with it.

- I'm in.

- Eh, lucky this girl has a chumba like that....

I quickly drew up a contract and handed it to Jackie.

- It doesn't say how much it is.

- Vic will write the amount, you can talk to him, I'm not looking for suckers, I work solo and do not deal with scams.

- Just a second.

A couple of seconds of silence, after which the guy spoke again.

- Yep, signed and sent to Vic to determine the amount of money it would take to get V back on her feet....

- Vee?

David's memory stirred pushing to the surface memories of a girl who occasionally taught counterintelligence courses at the academy. But I pushed those thoughts away from me. She was quite high up in Arasaki's counterintelligence department.

- Yeah, that's my friend's name...

I nodded my head and blinked because I didn't expect Vic to be so quick. He had already written down the amount of money needed to get the girl back on her feet. It wasn't a huge sum, at least I had the money, and paying it to Victor wouldn't cost me much. So I immediately sent Vic the necessary amount.

- Okay, I sent the money to Vic, so adios....

I was done talking to Jackie. It wasn't just that I wasn't interested in talking to him, but Panam and I went down to Judy's basement, where she was in some kind of prostration.

- Ah... it's you... I was expecting you later....

- Well, we woke up early enough today, and the work here was going to take a while, so we decided to get here early, and for good reason....

I looked round at the broken servers, which were savagely broken.

- Um... you do realise what there is to fix....

I shook my head.

- ...only to take it apart for parts....

- I see, the parts for the new servers will be here in about an hour.

- Okay, what about you?

- They broke the Brainiac equipment. I customised it myself, there wasn't a screw left out of the factory, and now--

- Why are you so upset?

I went over to Judy and put my arm round her shoulders, Panam came over on the other side and put her arm round her as well.

- Didn't you hear? They...

- I heard, but you didn't make this equipment yesterday, did you?

- No...

- Not the day before yesterday?

- No. A couple of years ago.

- And you've been around for a couple of years? Learning new things? And you've got a friend who knows about technology, right?

- Yeah.

- Well, you and me, we're gonna make it even better than it was. Of course, you'll have to customise the Breen equipment yourself... But everything else... I'm perfectly capable of helping with the improvements.

- But where would I get the money?

- I'll lend it to you...

I shrugged like it was a given.

- ...no interest, no terms, just a repayment arrangement with you.

- Are you serious now?

- He's dead serious, and I agree with him. You're our friend, and we haven't known each other very long, but we care about you. Even though you're trying to seduce me. Although I've made it clear to you many times that I'm all about the boys. And yes, get your hand off my arse, my arse is David's as of late.

- Tsk.

- Well, you can always try to seduce me and get into the same bed as Panam at the expense of a relationship with me....

I grin and put my hand down on Judy's arse.

- Hey!

Panam is outraged, but generally far less than any other girl in my past life would have been. Still, mores are a lot looser in this town and time.

- Get your hand off my arse... get it off....

I looked at Judy and raised my right eyebrow questioningly.

- ...I'm not kidding, well, or arrange with Panam to let my hand rest on her arse.

- David, do you want to wrinkle her arse that badly specifically?

- I'm comparing...

Despite my words I took my hand off Judy's arse, which had clearly come to its senses and was no longer going to mope.

- Whose arse is better?

- Definitely yours....

I answered Panam without a second thought.

- Hey!

Judy indignantly pulled away from us and looked at me, but I put my arm around Panam and put my other hand on her bottom and stroked it with pleasure.

- What? This ass I can at least touch at any time... So the choice between two firm, delicious asses that belong to delicious girls is obvious. I'll give the highest score to those lower circles that belong to me.

- Hmm.

- Let's decide for now, how much money do you need?

Judy looked around thoughtfully.

- I need a powerful computer, in our reality it's at least ten grand....

I nodded my head, realising that Judy had obviously decided to go for the minimum price tag. Which I didn't really like. I wished I could make her feel more obligated to me. Even with the repayment of the debt. So I had already activated my deck and logged on to the net looking for a comp of sufficient power and performance to handle the brans in extremely high quality.

- What do you think of the Militech Model 2 OTG?

Judy shuddered.

- It's...expensive....

Of course it is, forty grand. It's a lot of money, but I work hard and even ten times that amount wouldn't make me a pauper. I won't have any savings, but I'll have something to live on.

- And yet?

Judy bit her lip and looked away.

- I'd like it very much. One of the best computers currently available to the average person. I wouldn't have to refinish it and I'd be able to work for a couple of years.

- Okay.

I've placed the order.

- ...ordered it, it'll be here in an hour.

- What?! Are you out of your mind?! It costs about thirty-seven grand!

- Forty, but I hope I'm not throwing money away, I'm investing it in equipment that will be used to write and edit high quality brans that will generate income for you and me.

- That's...

Judy swallowed and came over to me and took my hands and put them on her arse.

- Pfft...you can't buy me off with that. But it feels good...

I nodded my head not at all embarrassed that in front of my girlfriend I was kneading Judy's arse. And Panam herself stood behind Judy and put her hands on top of mine and started kneading her arse.

- What more do you want?

- Glasses for viewing the material...

Judy listed the range of equipment required and I bought it all from Militech, as it is always preferable to use equipment from the same company. It connects better and gives less errors when working with each other.

- Well, I've ordered everything.

- How much do I owe?

- Eighty-three thousand quid.

Judy sighed.

- I'm not going to make that much in a couple of years, am I?

- Well.

I let go of her arse and took a couple of steps back, scrutinising her from head to toe, which made her shudder slightly.

- David, don't scare Judy!

Panam gave me a stern look.

I grinned.

- 'Okay... Judy, how are you doing with the ranting?

- А?

- Will you be able to act as a squad netrunner? Working out of Tortica and helping me hack into complex systems...

- Well in general... I can...

She nodded her head in surprise and I smiled.
