I scramble into the bar and sit next to Salt, I'm wearing shades and a wide brimmed hat, I've changed into casual wear. "Didn't you get my fucking calls? I'm gonna help you catch these guys."
I check my watch.
"I gotta go. Joe's specting me back."
I run back to the cafe, putting on my suit and tie as I do.
Taking a running jump, I catch the edge of the roof and pull myself up. I run to the teleporter and dissapear downstairs.
"Sup Salt. Want anything to drink?"
"Paddy, my personal Carmilla. I can't really ignore help. The pharmacy down the street has security footage that proves Sanchez broke in and helped steal 20k. Right now I'm waiting to interrogate this guy about what he knows."
I pretend I got that reference and explain my plan. "If someone encroaches on their territory they have to take them out to save face. These guys don't use middlemen so we'll get straight to them. And who do we know who has an infinite supply of drugs and a community minded spirit?"
"I guess I'll help Salt. The police'll probably rope me in eventually, so I may as well get a head-start."
I follow Sigma and enter Joe's. I sit down beside Paddy.
"Hey Salt. Paddy. One Bluetini please, Sigma."
I poke the statue, which triggers some arbitrary bullshit. I'm flung backwards, crash through the hull, and into Joes. I land in the chair opposite of Salt.
"I'll have an egg sandwich please. Salt, gimme some info, what are we doing?"
"Cool. So you were caught by the cops? Heh, dude, I've been avoiding them all this time somehow. Maybe they're scared of me! Man that'd be funny. Alright, do we have a warrant. And thanks Sig."
"That's the issue. We need to build ourselves up. Our plan is to let them know we're after them. When they send guys after us, we follow the paper trail back. Failing that, we at least beat info out of their men."
"Well, I know one cop is pissed off at me because I got tongue-blood all over the cell wall. And the others are pissed off because of some arson I did... To... their station."
I take a drink of bluetini.
"So, I assume you're talking to the businessmen to get evidence. I guess I can help with interviews, assuming I can get my Seer powers to work."
