The hivemind is conquering for me?

Down the road from the apartments, Two aerial personnel carriers landed in the street, causing the many residents of the area to turn and run as they could smell the reek of trouble that was brewing within.

The side doors of the carriers opened up and two squads of heavily armed, heavily augmented men and women began forming up in the streets. After they all formed up, a final man left the one of the carriers, he had a large cool blue cybernetic eye that seemed to be calculating everything it observed in front of it.

It almost immediately spotted his boss’ stolen bike down the road, unattended which caused him to chuckle at the irony. He suddenly called out to the man closest to him. “Do we still have tracking on the key?”

“Yes sir, the key is on the top floor of that building over there.” A man said pointing across the way.” The man with the augmented eye smiled. “Good. Now, we do this clean and quietly. No witnesses, no loose ends. The boss is pissed off enough that someone stole that bike, we don’t need further aggrievances. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Having heard there orders, The two squadrons removed suppressors from a clip on their chest plates and attached them onto their guns. Once everyone was prepared, they silently began making their way towards the building.

…

“- And so I said ‘Aaron, if you are demanding so much in such a short amount of time, you have got to pay a short notice fee. I don’t run a charity, no matter how much constant business you provide.’ Suffice to say, the ugly mug did not like that, the miser he is, and would not give me the rest of the credz, can you believe that?”

Tobias had gone on a long rant about how annoying Aaron was for what felt like forever before he got to the end. That was when Jinx spoke up. “So you only want a short notice fee now? You aren’t trying to dupe us into paying twice?”

“*Gasp* Woman please, I may be many things, but a shady businessmen is not one of them. No, I only need 20,000 credits for the fee and the bag will be yours.” Tobias then gestures with two fingers to someone behind us and shortly after a big duffel bag full of drugs was placed onto the table.

Jinx proceeded to open the bag and take a look inside. She then popped open a vial and chugged down the contents, causing her to close her eyes and shake her head before looking at Tobias in surprise. “Fucking hell man, thats some good shit. You could make a killing if you join up with one of the southern cartels.”

Tobias placed a hand over his chest, clearly moved by the statement. “Such praise miss Jinx. Sadly, I enjoy my body belonging to myself though so I don’t think I would make a fit.” He and Jinx began laughing, both clearly in on the joke while I just understood the implication.

After the chuckle, Jinx thought to herself a moment before she asked. “Do you have a halfway?” Tobias smiled cheekily. “Haha, I knew I liked you girlie the moment you walked into my office. Of course I do, you should always play it smart, even with the best of friends.”

Tobias signalled towards one of his men again who then placed down a small device in front of Jinx. Jinx picked up the small device before bringing a credit chip out her pocket, causing her short skirt to ride high for a moment, making Tobias flustered before she placed her chip into the device.

Tobias laughed nervously before turning his attention to me. “Do you have no issue with the way your girl is dressed? I know for a fact if we were not a professional establishment one of my boys would have tried something by now. Heck, I am even tempted.”

I smiled at the mans honesty before I replied. “My girlfriends are allowed to wear and express themselves in any way they want to, I am not one prone to jealously. And besides, even if one of you lot tried anything, she can handle herself just fine, Isn’t that right babe?”

Jinx did not respond and when I looked over to her, she had essentially folded over into herself out of embarrassment. “Hahahaha!” Tobias laughed. “That is the best change in personality I think I have ever seen. Here have another brick on the house for such a sight.” He followed up and pulled a green brick of drugs from out of nowhere.

The laughter broke Jinx out of her embarrassment and she finished what she was doing on the halfway. She then coughed to ease the tension she was feeling and pulled her credit chip from the machine and spoke as she passed it over the table to Tobias.

“Here, 20k credz, plus a K extra for not being a knob.” Tobias smiled at that as he placed his own chip into the halfway machine to extract the credits Jinx placed inside. With everything gone smoothly, Tobias stood up and we followed suit. “Well Apollo, Jinx, a pleasure to sort out our little arrangement and tell Aaron he is a dick and can suck my dick the next time he buys from me.

Now, my man here will escort you back downstairs to pick up anything you left with-”

“Boss someone just shot Derek!” A man by the security camera’s shouted, interrupting Tobias. “What? I am right here?” Another man said. “Not you fuck-wit, Fat Derek!” The security camera man shouted back.

“Both of you shut up, Show me.” Tobias said. As he made his way over to the cameras, he witnessed just intime as his downstairs men began firing at a group of heavily armed individuals. “Shit!” He yelled.

“Paulo!” Tobias yelled as he threw a man a key from around his neck. “Open the armoury, everything is fair game! Ok those currently armed, get downstairs and suppress for as long as possible while you go get the others of their lazy asses! I don’t know who these fuckers are, but you don’t start a war with me and get away with it.”

As the gang began getting into action, Tobias looked at Jinx and I for a moment before he came to a conclusion. “From the looks on your faces, you don’t know the men downstairs so you are fair game to the weapons. Down that hallway, go!”

Jinx and I looked at each other before we left Tobias where he was. Once we were out of his earshot, I asked Jinx. “Do you know what’s going on?” She gave me a click glance as we were running. “No clue, but judging from the firing downstairs, the guys that are here are not playing around.”

Judging the situation to be the wrong place at the wrong time, I cursed my bad luck from expanding from random checkpoint stops into gang wars as we made our way to the armoury.

To say I was surprised about the amount of ordinance inside the armoury was a understatement. For starters, as we arrived two men were wheeling out a heavy gun emplacement, what type of gang just owns one of those. Not to mention all the other assorted weapons and ammo that were all over the walls on racks upon racks.

I acted fast and picked up what looked to be a laser rifle, I wanted something that looked a little more ‘metal’, but I have very little experience with firearms that shoot ballistics so I kept to what I knew.

As I was leaving, I also spotted a gladius. It was not my Zircon, but it would suffice for the battle to come. Once I left the armoury, Jinx was already waiting for me with a large fully auto shotgun with a drum magazine alongside a sledgehammer in her other hand. “What a fun first date this is turning out to be huh?

Now lets go kill some sons and daughters!” She said with extreme glee before running away with perhaps too much enthusiasm.

I rolled my eyes at the behaviour before chasing after her. We took the stairs down instead of the elevator and a couple of floors later, the muffled gunfire turned into a cacophony of crackles, whizzes, bangs and snaps and bullets and laser fire tore through the air everywhere.

Jinx was more than exited as she rounded the corner, only to get blasted by a heavy round and get flung backwards. I watch on as she stood up totally unfazed and the only damage being her epidermis as a lower black dermal layer was now slightly displayed on her stomach.

As she composed herself, I took a breath of relief before I saw the look of a woman possessed in her eyes. She then broke out a wicked smile, her teeth seemingly becoming sharper before looking at me.

“They brought big guns Apollo! I could actually die here today! Now thats what I call fun!”
