Long gone was the night as the sun had long taken over the time now being 2:37 p.m.
The sun long cascaded and shining over, Night city conflicting name for a city but nobody cared.
People's lives have resumed as if the events of last night did not happen.
And it was better off that way.
Currently, Lizzies was closed as many Mox were armed to the teeth.
A plan they expected to fail miserably was successful, and they were now expecting retribution.
Susie, the current leader of The Mox, was also on high alert as she had to make some calls to a nearby friend and local Fixer.
Susie was pissed from looking at the current state of her right-hand woman.
She now wanted to rip the heads off those 3 gonks she brought in.
But more than ever, she wanted to make The Tyger Claws pay. For years, the Tygers have made life for the mox a living hell, and now she was thinking of doing something about it.
To push these fuckers out of Watson and back to Japantown.
But right now what they really needed is to wait on Regina.
As much as she hated to call on outside help, The numbers were not in favor of the mox.
Most of her crew was trained well with firearms and knew what to do.
The problem was the recent ones many of the new join ups didn't have experience. mostly just worked around the club and acted tough.
At this current moment, the Mox didn't need actors they needed killers. Those willing to get shit done.
But as Susie was in her thoughts, she received a notification.
A message from Regina.
"Got somebody. They will be there as soon as possible"
Only one person, what the hell.
She needed a team, a squad, a fucking unit.
But fuck it, beggars couldn't be choosers.
As she then walked out of her office and went down to the editing room.
Where Rita and the 3 gonks were resting.
When she first saw Rita she looked sickly as if she wasn't long for this world, thin, pale, it was as if death was grinding her down and then stripping her of life by the second.
But in only a few hours later and she was looking as if she was revitalized and reinvigorated.
She looked as if she had stolen back her youth by 3 years.
What the hell was going on, Susie didn't understand and hoped that this all was a good sign.
The last thing she needed was losing Rita and praying that she woke up soon.
But that didn't mean she wasn't weirded out by such events.
In 2077 when judy left many other girls in the mox also left leaving because in they're eyes the mox was a dead end, a state of in which kept them in a city that didn't give a damn about them, caught between conflicts between different gangs and factions.
So when Judy left Night City, others saw it as an opportunity to abandon ship.
Yet among all those that left Rita Stayed.
She helped bring in the new batch of girls and taught them how to take care of themselves, how to fight, how to take care of their health, how to find stability.
Among Rita's ability to raise some hell, she was well taught and was stable.
So to many of the girls, she was a mentor.
Someone to trust.
Susie was knocked out of thought as she heard the door open as one of her more experienced girls came in with a status report.
"Everyone is locked, loaded, and alert"
"Good"
The bar was closed up as Mateo was on edge.
He wasn't a fighter but he was going to get some payback for Rita and The Others that were hurt.
He was armed with a Overture and was shown how to use it by Rich when he Rita and Rich were fucking around one time.
Clementine was armed with a G-58 DIAN and was thinking about all the events from last night as she was solidifying herself.
She left the stock room as she was called upon to fight.
Aurora, Seraphina, and Rita were not in the state to get in a fire fight right now.
She now wanted redemption to get rid of this feeling of uselessness coiling inside her.
She needed this.
But then her attention was taken when she saw Sera walk towards her still wounded but armed.
"Susie go back to the storage room your not in shape for the amount of heat thats about to drop"
"I can't do that, I can't let you or any of the other girls to fight alone without me backing you up"
"Your feeling it too, fuck. Mateo"
"I'm staying too" said Mateo not backing down.
This was his place of work God damn it.
And both Clementine and Sera smiled noticing a new burning determination in his eyes.
As they got ready in they're positions.
And then like a shock to the system.
The bullets started flying and the yelling and advances of Tyger Claws began.
Mateo was sweating feeling the heat and stress in his hands his brain being focused on the door as he mounted his gun on the counter of the bar.
Sera was already in cover with a D5 Copperhead.
Also aimed intently at the door.
Clementine was in cover with her G-58 DIAN waiting for the opportunity to come to kill Tygers.
To make up for the mistakes.
To make up for the Recklessnes.
To be useful to her Gang and defend it with her very being.
She was going to repay her debt.
And in the blood of they're enemies.
As the sounds of pain noises from there own was loudly vocalized.
They were ready to fight, to live, to die.
This was Night City in it's natural state.
This was the Code of Nature.
The Will to Dominate, and the will to Survive.
