"What about you?" asks Cassie, her voice low and cold. "Perhaps you'll be the one to tell me what I want to hear.
RJ steps forward. This is the first time he's had the chance to actually talk to Cassie. Could this be his chance to make a good first impression? "Well boss, I'm sure you've heard about the recent Penguin War," he begins.
Cassie rolls her eyes. "Of course. That's going to be terrible for Club Xtacy's business over the next few days."
RJ continues. "Yeah but that's the thing, innit. It might be bad for the club, but it opened up another opportunity for us... or created a big problem if we don't act first. Those penguins rolled up in gigantic mechs. And now the war is over, all their tech is just laying there. Say the word and I can have my crew go strip everything on those zords worth taking, and I'll repurpose it into the best gear on the street. Or we could just leave it all there, let the Russians and Mexicans loot it all, then have a huge problem when they run up on us with Penguin tech."
Cassie nods. "Good thinking. Fine, have a few men handle that. But there's a bigger issue in play. And penguin tech? That's not it either."
