You can't help but try to.

“What? You are just going to **** her and kill her. Why did you bother to have someone go get her? It would have been a heck of a lot easier to just put a bullet in her brain.”

“All true, but I have to know how she was able to steal from me, and I can't just let someone live that stole from me. So far she has cost me over $200,000.”

“Really, you personally?”

“Well no, the company I represent.”

“Well that is different. If it was you personally I'd agree, kill her. But if it is just a company, that is chump change, I say use her skills. She is one bad ass hacker. Have you seen what she has done before. It is all over the net, she is bad ass.” You can tell this gets him thinking. “Tell you what, how about I buy her from you. I could learn a lot from her, and in the mean time I can use her mad skills to back me up on jobs. What do you want for her?”

“I can't simply sell her to you. I have to find out what she knows about the companies secrets first. She is too dangerous to let live. No, I have to kill her.”

“Well ya, of course you find out what she knows first, that is cool. Then when you are done you just sell her to me instead of killing her. It is a no brainer. You get some cash in your pocket, the company gets to know what she knows, and I get her mad skills. Heck I could even hire her out to your company to plug their leaks for a cut rate price if you want. That would surely be worth it.”

“I suppose having someone rework their security would be a benefit.”

“Hell ya, if she can break in. You know someone else can too. You know it is always best to have the good ones working for you. We have a deal then right, just name your price.”

He scratches his chin thinking it over. “Hmm, I'll tell you what. My company has another mission I am supposed to be finding people for. I have found several but I need at least a couple more. Do that job for me for free and I'll give her to you once the job is finished.”

“Done.” You say with a smile, and extend your hand.

He takes it and gives the back of your hand a little kiss, “Ok, Finish the mission successfully, and come back here to get her once you are done.”

“Cool, so what is this mission anyway?”

“I don't have the particulars. I am just the one organizing the meeting with a new client. You will have to go to the meeting tomorrow night to find out all of the details. Go to a bar called “The Weeping Lady” tomorrow night at 9 o'clock.” then as if summoned the two girls step back in, one of them holding a cute black designer purse. “Here is your cash.” The girl walks over to you and hands you the purse without a word. With a nod you turn to leave before he calls out, “Oh yeah, what do I call you anyway?”

“Trixie.”

“Trixie eh? You are quite the mystery aren't you. By the way, who exactly do you contract out for?”

Pausing for a moment, you realize you don't really have a fixer anymore, and answer, “Well, I suppose you. Don't I?”

“Interesting. I guess you do don't you.” He lets out a little laugh, “Excellent. Leave your number with Venessa on your way out.”

“Of course. Thank you. I will be back once I finish the job for my package.” With that you exchange contact info with the woman as she gives you back your guns. That settled you turn to head out and make your way to your car. As you climb in suddenly it hits you. You don't have anywhere to go. “Fuck me, I need an apartment.” You laugh as you fire the car's engine to life.
