Wendy (B Io Te CH) is moving to a new and better location for her clinic. Shade helps her box stuff for her move. Shade gets a checkup at her new clinic, he is interested in some bioware. Shade goes out boozing with Wendy.
Monday, 26th August
next morning Shade gets an early call (5am) from fixer, Mr Sommers, he has wired 30K and some info, he needs a job done. the info says he is to meet a Mr Johnson (Mr Nakamura), with a pic, wants a meet on 6:30am ferry leaving from Tacoma docks Shade heads off to the meet, and on his way he calls Pins and The Mole.
The Mole and Pins can't get to the meet on time, but Shade makes it, and the job is explained: Mr Nakamura's son has been kidnapped from boarding school (Wanatabee Academy), and he wants him found and returned in 2 days before a Wanatabee board vote which the kidnappers will try to coerce him into voting against his interests.
Team go to meet the school principal Mr Nakumoto, avoiding Lone Star and FBI that are pottering about doing their kidnap investigation. Security/systems adimistrator Mr Kanawabi
Shade looks at matrix logs, and discovers the system was hacked from a kids room. John Takamuru - kid from whose room the network was hacked, 17 years old.
Shade and Pins go to kidnapped boys room, to talk to the room mate, cyber-dog being annoying, Pins has the idea to hack into the dog for any footage it might have seen - and we see a man leaning over the bed, man looks around and throws dog under the bed. Man is wearing a ski mask, rolled up, so we see his face.
Pins and Shade go to John Takamuru's room and look around. he has turned his terminal into a basic cyberdeck. Pins and Shade then talk to the boy, who confesses he hacked in using principals password, but in the matrix he saw an intruder in hockey mask and trench-coat who used a 'smith & wesson' style attack program.
Meanwhile The Mole is investigating the corporation and the vote to outsource some of their programming etc etc which is the suspected basis for the kidnapping. the local branch is run by son of the man who runs the main branch in japan, though the local branch is semi-autonomous. Local CEO is against. Renraku and MCT both have put in offers to sub-contract, MCT has won it. So Renraku are annoyed at it. So could be an inside job, or a Renraku job.
During kidnap cameras were hacked and turned off, they turn on just to show a van pulling off. Shade managed to get an image from it, and recognises a man from Wendy's clinic, a customer.
Shade talks to a Lone Star contact. Finds out that a burnt out van has been located, serial number shows it was reported stolen (stuffa shack maintenance truck) a few weeks ago, stuffa shack maintenance technician parked it and came out to find it dissapeared - it had a new security system that took photos and transmitted to HQ, the photo is of a female Ork, blonde tied back hair, brown leather jacket, white t-shirt, jeans. On forehead a tattoo of a burning wheel, a gang symbol.
