Someone called back. A woman. That was unexpected. Nika hadn’t really encountered many female Atherim. Of course they were out there...like now, but still. “Hi.” She saw someone poke her head around the corner. The drones moved. Ugh. The woman must have spotted them too. Lights were turned up and the other woman freaked the fuck out. Which seemed appropriate.
Nika widened her eyes at the business end of the gun. “Whoa! Hey! No! It’s okay! They’re mine!” She held her left hand out. “C’mere Stuart…” One of the little drones left the ceiling and floated down to land in her palm. Nika smiled at him. “Hey buddy.” Innocence was next. “See lady? Nothing to worry about.” She licked her lips. “They just help me keep an eye out, y’know? Lotsa bad things out there.” She swallowed. This was not the first time she’d used this. “I just need the terminal. That’s all. I got tagged to check somethin’ out. No big…” The assassin kept her own pistol pointing downward, for now. The drones were weaponized and could provide cover if needed. It was a one-time deal with them though and something she used as a last resort.
