Goes by V. The only name anyone’s gotta know her by.
[V was the name everyone knew on the street; the name that anyone called up if they needed a job done; the name known for giving megacorps the big middle finger, and even left one a big pile of smoldering ashes because they did her wrong.
V was the only name anyone needed to work with. “Valerie” was for people of a closer sort, and even then, that name hardly ever rolled off of Johnny’s tongue.]
Not a gamblin’ man, but you’re gonna be. You hear of the Crystal Palace? Used to be a space station, billions of dollars sunk into it all for the military. Back in the day, there were rumors that the most elite assassins in the world would descend from that station, fallin’ straight into their targets’ laps.
[He huffs. Sounds ridiculous. But so are a lot of things in this world.]
These days? Ugly piece of metal still hangs in the sky, but it’s the world’s largest casino now. A playground for the rich and powerful; all manner of fun both above board and under the table.
Last she told me, V had a big job — kleppin’ some datachip or whatever. Had no idea where she’d gone off to, but I did some digging in her apartment. All signs point to the big dollar symbol in the sky.
