"I didn't call you stupid.. I called you and idiot. '

"eh whatever lady just watch your tongue in this city do you even have any cyber enhancements" he said

"Why would that be any of your business if I have them that's my business not yours and I can say whatever I god damn please. "

"fair enough" he said then his eyes slightly rotated to the left and they changed color to black then left her be by walking off through the crowd

She scoffed and leaned back in her booth crossing her arms

Victor was flipping the keys to his car by the key ring while walking down the crowded alley with the scent of drugs in the air but got side tracked by something that caught his eye

Nikki kept sitting there the occasional drunkard walking over to talk to her but she'd ignore them like always

The bartender trying to make small talk said "The guy you were talking to earlier, bit of a shady guy but… happens to be an asset to the revolt of power in this city"

"Yeah good to know thanks, but I fail to see how that interests me. "

"you look like you could interest his specific needs"

"And what are those? '

"fit and quick" he said sliding her a card with victors number on it

Nikki flipped the card over and looked at it curiously before looking up at the bartender with a 'are you fucking kidding me' look

"well your face doesn't look like your interested but you look old enough to know what the black crusade was. You know… where everyone that didn't agree with what this city was hijacked military hardware and revolted against the powers of the 'suits'" he said

" nobody's really interested in anything anymore have you noticed that, it's all sex drugs and alcohol those are the things that make the world go round now. "

"and he stands against it hell I'm pretty sure he's never touched drugs or alcohol ever in his life" the bartender say as if to know the he was pure

"I don't believe that for a second."

"Ok answer this then who goes to a bar and orders ice water especially this late he's opposed to that stuff I'm telling you" he said putting his evidence on the table

"Maybe he just doesn't want to pay your outrageous prices, I'm just saying I've been coming here for years and you can't say it's cheap."

"Cheaper than anyone else in town and best tasting" he said only a tad bit offended (bartender acts like they've known each other for years lore maybe 🤔🤔🤔)

(Lmao maybe)

"Barely cheaper than anyone else. "

"it has to count for something doesn't it" he said as the name tag of his became more visible revealing the name 'Troy' engraved into the metal shirt pin

"Your still just as bad as all these companies)

"how so?" He said

"Your making the shit that broke this fucking world more affordable. "

"I also limit people to three drinks though" he said

Nikki snorts.

"Yeah, right, like that'll help."

"at least I'm trying what are you doing to slow the corruption down huh?" He said

"I kill the corrupted" she said simply
