V Pov:

Just call her, you know she can do it. Stop arguing with yourself and just call her, don't be a gonk! Biomon helps bring my blood pressure down and I sigh and call the sneaky lil shit. RINGING "V? What's up?" Ugh forgot how young she sounds/ is.

"Hey Motoko, I need some netrunning help or will be in a few days. It's personal and I don't want big A involved." I have to bite back a sigh, hate asking anyone for help. "Should only be a few hours but.."

"No prob V, just tell me when and where!" I can hear her smile and feel some tension leave my shoulders. Don't know who else I would have asked if she said no.

"I'll toss you a meet up point, think it will be better if we take one ride to the target. Say 7 this Friday night?"

"Will this be better than the last Friday night we saw each other?" I don't know why but it almost sounded like she was singing?

I heard her 66 before I saw it, maybe I should drive after all. Little fuck still has grenades under her seat I bet. Ugh no I asked for a favor and need to trust her. She stops in front of me and I slide in.

"Hey choom!" She is bouncing in her seat, that she is buckled in, kid is so weird. "Glad you hit me up!" From her tone she really is, Night City hasn't beat that out of her somehow.

"Thanks again, I.. I don't really want to get into it but thanks." She just smiles and looks at me and then the seat belt, with a huff I click it in place and she sets off. The hum of her engine is covered by the radio as she turns it up.

"~Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed
Oh, well
It's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn~"

Huh I can't place the voice.. I feel like I should be able to though.

"~Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on tabletops, and we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards and got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard last Friday night
We went streaking in the park, skinny-dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law, always say we're gonna stop-op, oh-whoa~"

I slowly turned my head to look at the kid, it was her. Motoko's smile was splitting her face. She wrote a song about the night at Lizzies, I...I don't think half of that happened? But..parts of it..

"~But this Friday night
Do it all again~"

"That was Ghost in the Shell with her new single T.G.I.F, 89.7 Growl FM your home for the newest hits!"

No, nonononono! She didn't just write a song about our post mission celebration she somehow published it?!

"I normally stay away from pop but couldn't help myself with that one, let's make sure tonight rocks hard! If you want, you can be a backup singer too!"

"What the fuck Hiromi? Why do we need to flatline Motoko's counter intel choom?"

"You owe me a no questions asked Malcom! Now get the Minatour loaded up, "Do it all again" my ass!"
