21 Another Contractor

Patrick was a little bit sad that Friday afternoon. Lynn canceled her invitation to her house due to circumstances. She said that she would not like a boy in her house because she was afraid that Patrick would do something to her when she was sleeping or doing anything.

Alex knocked on the door while bringing two cans of coke, "May I come in?" Patrick let him in and he offered one can to Patrick which he gladly took from his hand.

Alex sat down beside him, "C'mon, she doesn't mean anything rude. She just too worried that you will fuck her on the spot."

Patrick looked at his friend's eyes, "Do I look like someone that will fuck her on the spot?" He opened that can of coke and drank that.

"C'mon now, we have a lot of jobs to do at weekend, washing Helena's bedsheet, washing our clothes, cleaning the whole house, and many other things," Alex reminded Patrick of the important stuff.

Helena always left for her parents' house at the weekend and left both Alex and Patrick alone in that boarding house. The rules on that house weren't that strict either since the owner of the house wasn't the school, but someone else. They just happened to live there together.

"You're right, but tonight we can party right?" Patrick asked his friend.

"Sure, there's the ham and some leftover sausage in the fridge. Maybe I can make some delicacy with that. What do you want to eat tonight?" Alex asked.

"Hmm, do we have meat? I want something meaty," Patrick said.

"I can make roast," Alex said.

"Good, good," Patrick said as Alex left the room.

Patrick went for his computer desk and put the coke beside the computer. He turned on the computer to see something for himself. He wanted to see the Armory System app on PC. The reputation rewards were ridiculous last night.

'Nice ability, feel like hackerman bro,' he said as there was a new app on his phone that was called System Hack. It was an application that could be used to hack the infrastructure. It was another shortcut to the Armory System.

"Yo Patrick, come here dude," Alex shouted from downstairs.

Alex stood up and put his phone in his pocket and went downstairs. He headed to the kitchen where Alex was wearing an apron and was cutting some vegetables.

"Yes man, what can I do?" He asked as Alex was cutting the veggies.

"Go buy me some MSG and if you want to, buy some Corona, I want that Mexican beer," Alex said as Patrick picked some money from the group money and picked up his jacket from the hanger.

"Ok," he closed the door and started walking towards the nearest grocery store.

He walked on the road while looking at the System Hack app on his phone. The app was allowing him to profile several objects.

[Electrical Transformer Vulnerability Detected]

'I wonder what will happen when I press this button,' he pressed the hack button on his phone and the transformer exploded and made a local blackout.

[Blackout. T.I.M.S unavailable during blackout]

He walked during that blackout to the nearest minimarket. The road was very dark, but he could still profile some people.

[Bared Jolelyn: 26 years old. Suspected of small-time fraud. 20$ hackable from the bank account.]

He pressed the hack button a 20$ was transferred to the Armory System, 'No shit, this system is awesome.' He went to the grocery store which wasn't under a blackout and bought several items. He bought a chocolate bread, a bottle of Msg, and two bottles of Corona. He went to the cashier and paid for it.

When he was paying, he got a message, it was from the armory system. It was from an unknown.

Unknown: "You've been flexing up a lot don't ya?"

Delta/Patrick: "Who's this?"

Unknown: "Name doesn't matter. I'm an acquaintance. You can meet me in the next contract."

He looked for another contract and there was one contract on his phone. It was a very usual contract. It was a contract to participate in the elimination of gang hideout.

[Gang Hideout Activity]

A white-collar criminal gang has conducted a scam that costs more than 100.000$. The gang hideout has been equipped with top of the line security system. The gang leader will escape If you are detected. Security won't be armed. Silenced weapon required.

Reward:

[2 skill points]

[900$]

'I will accept this after dinner,' Patrick left the minimarket and went back to his boarding house. He took off his jacket and his sandals and put the beers in the fridge.

"You're on time, I almost want to go to the grocery store myself to fetch you from there," Alex said as he put the stuff inside the pot.

They have dinner afterward and Patrick left his home again with a reason that he wanted to go to the 24 hours shop to get some smoke, in truth though, he just wanted to meet that unknown person. He changed his loadout to the one which was equipped with MP5SD and subsonic ammunition. He wore a helmet and a ballistic vest as usual.

He walked to the position which was located near an office building in the residential area. It was the usual office building that a telemarketing company established. He had no idea that the place was used for a scam. He waited inside a conventional store overlooking that dark building. He waited there as he looked around for his guest. He put his MP5 on the table at that convenience store.

The guest came to the convenience store. It was someone that wore black clothing with skull balaclava on its head. He had NVG on his helmet and wore a ballistic vest. He was using a silenced KRISS Vector.

He noticed Patrick and sat down in front of him and Patrick grabbed his suppressed gun and aimed it at the unknown person that sat down in front of him, "Good evening, and who are you?"

He noticed that and he rose his hands, "The first person that you met must be Lima right? Her ways of introducing herself are like that," he said as he slowly put his hands down.

"How do you know?" Patrick kept his sight at that person.

"I've worked longer than you," he said as he grabbed his phone from a magazine pocket.

Suddenly, an electrical box made a spark, and Patrick nodded in that direction, "What the hell was that?" He nodded and he realized that another end barrel of a pistol was pointing at his head.

The unknown person was aiming a silenced Beretta M9 pistol at his head, "That was my doing, nice to meet you, Delta."

'Shit, I shouldn't point my guns at his head,' Patrick put down his SMG and raised his hands.
