Chapter 43: Codex's Good Graces

As usual, there were people sitting in the booth in back of the diner. Three members of the Ebony Roses. Megan gave them a nod as she came in, and they nodded back to her. She took a seat in the booth next to theirs, waiting for Aijin to come join her.

She didn't have to wait long.

“I've got a lead,” Aijin said as she sat down. She looked around, spotting the gangers at the next table. “Safe to talk here?”

Megan nodded. “This is Ebony Rose territory. They know me here. What do you have?”

“There's a raid about to go down. On Boran Tech. Just like the one that was happening when we met. Half a dozen people striking, trying to break in and steal a prototype tech. Thought we could tag along, grab something worth grabbing, and make it back home as heroes.”

“I do like that idea,” Megan said. “So long as they don't run in to someone like us, we should be okay. And if things go south, we can dip out.”
