Chapter 66 - 65: Heywood and Old Friends!
Arthur said his goodbyes to the security captain, whose shocked expression had been evident, and drove off, leaving Westbrook behind. Just as he was about to find a quiet corner to park the car, his phone buzzed. It was a message from the old captain.
Arthur glanced at it, realizing the worker representative the old captain had arranged was ready to meet him. They'd agreed to meet at the Wild Wolf Bar in the Heywood area.
Arthur looked over at Jack. "The worker representative wants to meet me now. Looks like there's no rice at his place. Are you heading home, or do you want me to drop you off at Lao Wei's place to pick up the motorcycle?"
Jack scratched the back of his head, looking a bit lost. "I think I'll head home. I need some time to process everything. Today's been... more than I've experienced before. I need to rethink things."
Jack paused, then shot a serious look at Arthur. "If you dare tell anyone what happened today, I swear I'll... die in front of you."
Arthur gave him a warm smile. "Jack, you're too honest. If there's no evidence, you just deny it. Lying is a basic skill for cyberpunks."
Jack gave Arthur a long stare but said nothing. After a moment, he looked out the window, clearly choosing not to discuss it further.
Arthur chuckled inwardly. He knew full well that his system had captured all the images from today. This was one of those memories you keep, maybe for fun later in life.
"Anyway," Arthur continued, "I need to bring a little something for Mrs. Wells. Maybe that'll get me a pass to the Wild Wolf Bar. You know, as a mother, she'll be concerned about her child's mental state. At least, that's how it works for me."
