He was almost done. Corebreaker placed the flashlight in his mouth so he could keep the light aimed at what he was doing—splicing wires to add in a physical bug of his own making, while also uploading false identification passes for Critter and Blu so they could enter the building tomorrow. Normally he would have been at a bolt hole doing the work via remote, but Black had found out Riot's people were also on the contract. And if Riot and her crew were on the contract, that meant their small team had to work harder, faster (not to mention be more creative) if they wanted to walk away with the prize at the end of it all.

"I have never seen a Johnson twitch that much." Critter stated, her eyes wide. "I'm fairly certain at one point they were starting to scratch."

"I thought I told you to hide that thing." Black growled, eying his brother. Botanist was unperturbed, idly scrolling on his tomestone.

"It's not obsolete." He said. "I don't care what that corpo said—and neither should you! You know tomestones these days are nothing but malware-ridden-break-when-you-breathe-on-it pieces of junk!"

"Do you even still get service on that thing?" Blu asked.

"Yes. I have a good, cheap plan, and I'm holding on to the bitter end."

"He's gotten at least five calls so far from his provider begging him to give up the phone and the plan." Black had closed his eyes, rubbing his eyelids.

"Seven."

"Seven?!" Critter and Blu yelped.

"They keep promising me the newest top-of-the-line tomestone, two years of new service free, and the last time they called, said they were adding in a year of free streaming." Botanist started to reply to a text message. "I don't want any of that. I like my tomestone, I like my plan, and it's staying that way."

"I wonder if they're going to call a hit out on him because he refuses to upgrade." Corebreaker whispered.
