Valerie sat in silence in the waiting room, barely moving in her wheelchair. Her face was emotionless, the standard expression if there was a lack of anything to change it. Compared to how pensive and slightly troubled the gunslinger looked, she probably looked quite calm and peaceful, but she too was troubled by thoughts buzzing in their skull. They had stolen a stash of some very advanced cybernetics, as well as some creds and guns. They must've made quite the sight. Wombat supporting Kal, both with rifles and shotguns slung over their shoulder while a wheelchair bound girl with a lap full of limb-containing cases rolled up behind them.<br/><br/>Kal and Wombat likely didn't even realize the value of what they had taken. It was all military hardware, already worth a ton in the upper city. It was a haul worth at least tens of thousands of credits here in the dreg. Funny how certain shit got more expensive in the lowest part of the city. Supply and demand, Valerie would guess. Of course the hireling had more of an eye for the guns, but Valerie's coaxing ensured that they had taken all the cybernetics they could carry instead of bringing along an extra shotgun.<br/><br/>Not that Valerie wasn't carrying any weapons at all. Kal had given her a heavy handgun he found in that apartment. It didn't really look like anything those skullbangers would've used, maybe it'd belong to the harlot that had shot up Kal?<br/><br/><br/>Valerie snapped to attention when Daddy Shizu entered the waiting room. Valerie wasn't familiar with Shizu, her favourite Skinshop was elsewhere and she did most of her cybernetics tuning herself anyway. Relief washed over her as the man affirmed that Kal'd live. They had made a pretty hefty haul today for Chul but the mob boss probably wouldn't have liked her getting one of his finer enforcers shot.<br/><br/>Guns had the good sense of giving Shizu the cyberlimb that had once belonged to the whore though Valerie still wasn't sure why they had bothered taking it. Sure, they were still overpaying the man likely double of what they really owed him but giving Shizu one of the military limbs would've been like giving 100 creds for a 2 cred snack. The gunslinger though seemed intent on leaving before Chul's men got here<br/><br/><i>"Not sticking around to be paid?" </i>She asked him with that pleasant french accent of hers.<i>"I'd probably walk away too if I could but that'd just mean Chul's guys coming knocking on my door again. At least this should be more than enough to clear my debt and then some, maybe they'll actually give me a slice of the fat stacks they'll make with the gear we got for him..."</i><br/><br/><i>"Before you go though, can I take a look at that metal case you picked up? It didn't look like a traditional cyberware case and if you're taking it for your payment you should at least know what it is and what it's worth. If it is what I think it is then I'm probably one of the few people here in this shithole who can help you with it."</i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
