"I'll just leave. You don't need the cops." @Morrigan

She felt her stomach sinking at the possibility. Dealing with the cops in this city was never a good thing for the ones like her. She'd really be in trouble if they picked her up with whatever the hell was in the cooler. "Please don't. I couldn't afford a room last night I'll never scrape bail together." @Morrigan

Kae didn't know enough about what the cops knew to want to risk that bluff. They might not have recognized her now that she'd changed. But if they did she'd probably get murdered in some cramped holding cell. It would have been a lot easier for the people paying her. "Jimmying a lock is enough to get picked up for," she countered, "I didn't touch anything. I was gonna leave after sunrise, just didn't think anyone would be in on a Sunday." @Morrigan

"What?" she asked, falling back on playing dumb. @Morrigan

Kae blinked as the blinding lights hit her in the face, standing reflexively. "No one," she answered nervously as she found herself faced with a tall, intimidatingly built man, "I was just trying to get out of the cold for a little while. It didn't look like anyone would be here." @Morrigan

Kae cursed silently as she dropped to one knee, gaze darting around for some kind of solution. The car was too low to just dive under it, at least not wit

Kae had just pulled the new shirt on when she heard a door open across the shop. She froze up as her gaze darted that direction. By some stretch of luck, when he flipped the lights on it plunged the corner she was in further into darkness. She grabbed her bag carefully and scooted further back. If she was careful she was sure she could get close enough to dart through the open door and out the front of the building. She just had to stay unnoticed long enough to creep closer. @Morrigan

The job had seemed easy enough. Kae didn't know exactly what it was. Some kind of cybernetic organ or transplant of some sort. She just had to snatch the container and deliver it to her employer. Some high dollar black market buyer wanted it, and there was plenty of downstream cash fall involved. If everything had gone smoothly it would have been a pretty quick in and out. Except it didn't quite go smoothly. At the last minute she'd realized they'd given her the wrong kind of container to swap out. She'd done it anyway, but someone had noticed the difference too quickly and now she
