It had been three days of resting or rather as much resting as George was capable of. She had sat in bed, she had wanted to be at her desk but the bed was a compromise. Around her were phones, tablets and her laptop. She was dealing with lawyers, media and anyone else that she could use to make Arasaka regret double crossing CKSD.

She stood now in the back room, waiting for the others. Her shoulder was stiff but healed. Trauma Team and then her private doctor, did a great job fixing her up. Erik had made the shot clean, he hadn’t hit anything important but she never doubted his ability to pick a shot.

George was focused on her screen. The new contract would be easy. A simple find and neutralize. The biggest hiccup would be finding the girl and taking care of the guard dog who seemed intent on following her.

She had only called in Mark and Antony.This job would only take them, maybe Erik if they wanted back up. Mark would find this hacker and Antony would do the rest. George wanted to ease the team back into things. The Portel contract had not gone as expected and though they succeeded it was not without its issues. She wanted them to know that the company was looking out for them, that she was looking out for them and in the end the contracts keep coming and the jobs need to get done.

George poked at the picture of their target. She looked so innocent but George knew that hackers were a different breed. Meek in person but daring once they were behind a screen. She hoped Mark might be able to tell her more about the girl though it didn’t matter really. George didn’t want to ‘know’ the girl, just how dangerous she was.

A carafe of coffee and mugs waited for the two other people to arrive.
