A/note: I am so happy that you all have been leaving comments and votes! And so much great feedback! I am so happy at the responses! Once again I am adding everyone's character in as fast as I can, but not rushing the story line. Enjoy! Also each I am writing up everyone's character trying to create a dynamic and beautiful story with these characters. Suerte means safety. Cabrones mean bastards.

"Pick the prick off, I'll be right behind you." Jackie suggested.

Instead I ran from my spot and over to Jackie, next to the blue glow of the vending machine. There was a sudden smash, it sounded like a vial was dropped.

Suddenly the two walked out from the lab and into the room that their buddy use to be in, instead he's probably just chill'n out in the freezer.

"Cabrones...Thick as locusts. Lets wait and plan a spree. It was a good idea to join me over here, otherwise we would of been caught red handed. Take one down! Just real quiet." he quietly whispered to me. I slowly and carefully crawled over to the side of the door that I was previously on and slowly made my way over to the one that was dressed as a gang member. Typical ball hat, muscle shirt, and ripped blue jeans.

"Get the closest one, Ronin. Lets take 'em... Suerte." Jackie instructed to me.

Both of us at the same time lunged at both men and took them down silently, but this time more lethal. I dropped the man like a sack of hammers, while Jackie slowly dragged him onto the floor. We immediately dragged them over to the small Bathroom and hid the bodies there.

Jackie let out an aggressive sigh, "All down, limp meat. But probably not the last of 'em." Jackie whispered quietly to himself. He walked back to the vending machine where he hid originally.

"Move up, and continue on. One Cabrone left in that room, he's all yours, Ronin. I'll be right behind you if things get out of hand." Jackie added, warning me for who was up ahead. I slowly crouched around the corner and saw a man in a lab coat turned around. I could see the gun on his back. I immediately lunged onto his back and tried to wrap my arm around his windpipe. He immediately reacted. He struggled then tossed me onto my back, glass beer bottles smashed underneath my back. I growled in pain. The impact knocked the air out of me. The man reached for his gun. Then a loud bast echoed the room. The scientist had a clean hole through him, he immediately collapsed onto the ground.

Smoke curled out of the barrel of Jackie's pistol. His expression was neutral and calm.

"Thanks Jackie." I complimented him and rolled off of the counter. The glass slid off the end of my jacket. The muscles in my back screamed in pain. I bit my lip and stood onto my feet.

"You alright, Amiga?" Jackie questioned with a concerned voice.

"I'm fine." I replied, dusting the glass off of me.

Thunderous footsteps echoed from somewhere. The footsteps got louder and louder from the distance. Jackie and I leaped down behind a counter. I kept a close eye off from the distance. I closely observed how many men ran past us.

Twenty-two!

There was that many that ran past us-

Holy shit.

"We have to hurry, that's probably where they were keeping Miss Sullivan. I hope they didn't do anything, otherwise I'll slaughter each and every man that touched those three." Jackie said with a low growl. He tightened his Samurai pony-tale, and had a cold gaze. I jumped up and ran over to the door that was open. It was a small office. My eyes shifted from the desk in the corner to the Bathroom next to the person's office. I couldn't believe this was an apartment!

"I don't see any movement on your sensors. Looks like you got 'em away from that guarded office. Look around, she's gotta be here somewhere." T-bug commented.

"Yep." I replied to her. Jackie noticed the balcony doors, he immediately opened the door as a gush of wind passed through.

"This is our route out. I'll cover the Bathroom door over there. We have to be quick, they'll be back soon." Jackie said with a worried voice. The Bathroom was our last option, last room that we're searching.

I sighed and tapped the door, the door automatically opened. A dim blue light flickered. The toilet was smashed, mirrors were smashed. Then my eyes darted over to the bathtub. I placed a hand over my mouth when I saw a body hanging off the ledge of the tub.

"Fuck, please don't be you..." I mumbled. I approached the bodies. I noticed the water was ice cold, ice cubes floated along the female's body. I pulled her out seeing it was the one girl that was kidnapped. Freezing water pattered onto the white tiles underneath the women's body. I checked for a pulse, simply nothing. Then panic set inside my chest when I saw a familiar pink and purple haired girl.

Miss Sullivan.

Breanne Sullivan to be exact.

"Jeezuz Fucking Crisp." I mumbled, my heart couldn't stop beating.

Breanne had a nasty bruise on her shoulder. Her shirt was ripped to shreds, thankfully she still had her jeans on.

"I think we got our target." I responded to T-bug.

"Wait! She make it? Is she alive?" T-bug tossed the questions at me with intentions to find out what was going on from our end.

"About to find out..." I replied with a deep sigh.

"Hack into her biomon, we need to know what we're dealing with." T-bug replied to me. I dragged her out of the water and held her head up. I pulled a cord out from my wrist and plugged it into the slot at the back of her head.

"Ooh this does not look good." Jackie cringed.

"Breanne Sullivan. NC570442. Trauma platinum." I confirmed, seeing her level, blood, and energy levels.

"Platinum? Shit, trauma team should of been here if she sneezed!" Jackie joked, trying to lighten the serious situation.

"I'm guessing that they blocked the transmitter signal. I'm lookin' at her hacked biomon, firmware reconfig or a nerovirus... Shit! Ronin get the hell out of there before you-"

I felt an odd surge shock me for a moment. My head collided against the white tiles bellow me. My heart skipped a beat, my blood ran cold.

I saw a crimson flash of light, it clouded my vision and slowly started to fade.

My vision fogged and my ears rang.

"Ronin!" I heard a brief and muffled yell from Jackie.

I took a moment. He dragged me away from Miss Sullivan. He leaned me up against the wall.

My vision fully recovered, my temple had this splitting pain. It was indescribable. It was like squeezing that area of my skull. Jackie knelt down to my level and examined me. Even shining a mini flashlight into my eyes.

"You alright, Amiga?" Jackie said in worry. I shielded my eyes from the light.

"Oh sorry..." Jackie awkwardly smiled. He turned off the flashlight and put it away.

"Fuck. What the hell was that, Bug?" I questioned T-bug. I wasn't upset at the fact she didn't warn me sooner. She didn't know, even with our small scrap earlier I don't hate her.

"I don't know..." T-bug answered truthfully.

"Damn it, T-bug! You should see this place! A tub full of ice, hooks, and fuck'n cleavers?!" Jackie exclaimed with a terrified voice. I looked up, then noticed the details of the hooks and cleavers hanging off from the chains from the ceiling.

"Damn... I can't imagine. Though lets focus not on the details, but on Miss Sullivan. We have to get the transmitter signal to work so we can see what we're truely dealing with... Check for her shard! Unplug the shard and her biomon should be running. I spotted the shard at the back of her head. I pressed on it and pulled it gently out from her head. The cartridge looked somewhat damaged.

"Done..." I replied to T-bug.

"Emergency evacuation dispatch will arrive in 180 seconds." Jackie commented, he held his phone up to his ear.

"If conscious lean her up in a recovery position. Emergency dispatch will be here soon. Unfortunately for you Ronin, your premium plan will only cover 90% of the cost, for both rescue and treatment." Jackie explained to me. I exhaled a deep sigh at the thought, but whatever was coming out of my pocket was worth saving one of them.

Suddenly, her body started to shake rapidly. Her heart rate suddenly flat lined. Her body started to shake rapidly.

"THE FUCK?!" I yelled in worry.

"Shit! She flat lined?!" Jackie yelled.

My heart wouldn't stop pounding against my chest.

"She's gonna need a shock to the chest! Fuck this is bad!!"

"Here! Catch, Chica!" Jackie tossed me his Taser. This was going to ruin the skin on her chest, and create a small scar.

I stabbed her into the chest. An electric surged shocked her chest, it made her body slow down and I waited for a heart rhythm....

Then one beat, I smiled when my scanners showed that.

Two beats. I gave a chesshire smile and turned to look over at Jackie.

"I think...I think, the shit worked." I said with a relieved expression.

"It did! Now lets get her outside before the twenty people come back." Jackie suggested, opening the bathroom door. I picked up her draped form and carried her over to the balcony.

A vehicle that was leviating through the air showed up.

"Stay clear of the landing zone. Drop the patient off at the doorway and follow strict instructions, now!" A cyber voice came from the vehicle.

I walked towards the vehicle, where a red laser that was in a shape of a box was.

"No! Stop at the doorway! Or if you continue to engage, we will open fire." The man strictly suggested. I widened my eyes and backed up to the balcony door. Four to Five men exited the vehicle with a stretcher.

"Place the patient on the ground." The cyber voice said again. I gently placed her onto the stretcher.

I felt a hard impact to the chest. I stumbled back a bit, "Step the fuck back." One man said in anger.

"The hell? I was just trying to help. Do I look like a murderer?" I questioned.

"Street trash, that saved a women from dying-"

"Say one more word pal and I'm going to lose it." Jackie immediately snapped at the Trauma team.

"That will not be necessary, Mr. Welles. We bid you a farewell." The other Trauma Team worker says, gritting his teeth. The stare was directed at the man who called me 'street trash.'

They loaded Breanne Sullivan into the vehicle then took off. A massive gush of wind was shot against the two of us. Papers flew around and other garbage that was on the balcony. The balcony had no railing which wasn't safe.

Jackie placed his hand on my shoulder and was quiet for a moment, to process what happen a couple minutes ago.

"Come on, lets get out of here. Elevator takes us directly down to the garage of the apartments, it should be easy escaping the place." Jackie suggested with a casual deep voice.

"Right." I replied with a deep sigh that trailed off at the end of my sentence.

"Good work, thankfully the shit show is over for now." T-bug complimented the two of us.

"For now... The war never ends, nothing is ever peaceful in Night city." Jackie replied to T-bug.

"True, I'm cuttin' my wires, see you in the near future." T-bug logged off from our communicators.

I was strictly relying on faith on this one. I hoped the end of my road wouldn't end in a crossfire. But I didn't understand why I crashed like that? I was clueless on what happened. I had not a clear focus on what it could be. Maybe I'll go see a Doctor soon after this, that's if things get too far. Maybe it was just a single hand glitch to the system.
