Now with working eyes, I felt a weight come off as I felt more secure.

Walking to the front of the shop where the table was, I stood in front of the window.

"Here you go kid, and take these as well."

he handed me my credit chip back, and a shard.

"Whats on the shard?"

"Basic Ncpd information for people, will allow you to be on the look out for some of the worse chromers, now that you have those eyes, you have a scan feature. Sometimes it takes a while to get use to. Try to manually focus your eyes right past what you are looking at."

I did and the scanner popped into vision over my normal overlay, casting my vision in an orange hue.

I did the same thing and it returned to normal. "Thank you, and thanks for the shard as well! If I didn't have a Ripper I want as my main doc, I would most certainly come here more often, but I doubt you want to see my get more chrome ahaha"

Rob laughed at this and just shook his head "And lastly here is your meds, and the paper with Rita's number. Give he a call and take your meds, over there is a chair if you want to wait for her."

"Thanks again."

I took out the box containing my bottle of pills and took 1 as it said on the bottle.

Then with the paper in hand, I dialed the number for a call.

"I don't recognize the number, who is this?" Rita picked up right away.

"Its me rita, all done and ready to dip when you are."

"Surprisingly I am a little busy, even if its my day off. Think you can make it back using your fancy shancy new eyes?"

"Yea, all good! See you back at the bar later!"

"Later kid!"

And the call ended, I took out the bounce back and put it in my pocket before walking out.

The immediate area outside the ripper shop wasn't what I was expect, I expected it to lead out onto a road, or even the main road.

But now, I was in a market of some kind, thinking about that, I marked the area I was, just incase this ripper wasn't listed publicly.

Setting in the directions for me to make it back to lizzie's bar, I set off.

It was relaxing in a way, just walking through night city, enjoying the sights, and no so much the smells.

I kept using the scanner and turning it off again to get use to the feel of it, it was a weird sensation for sure.

One part of it I didn't like was that when you activated the scanner function, it muted the noise you heard near you.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

This was both useful and deadly, It allowed me to focus more, but also I would be unable to hear if someone was coming up on me before they were to close.

So I was only using the scanning function when I was standing still, but I found that just about everything had better ice that I had first experienced with the boards that I had taken apart, and the skinny scavs care back then.

Which reminds me, I will need to review my recordings of that night.

Now being only a block or so from the bar, I decided I had best look around the area to get use to it.

There were a number of different locations nearby that would come in handy, but I only had about 2k eddies left with no way to get more currently.

Having scouted the area, I decided it was likely best that I head back now.

Upon getting to the door to the bar I found a new lady I hadn't met yet.

"Whoo kid, where do you think your going?"

"I am staying with rita here, I was just here yesterday and rita dropped me off to get new eyes at Roberts. I am just coming back on foot because she said she was busy and couldn't pick me up."

"I think I did here something about that, one moment. Let me check."

At this, her eyes were flashing, likely sending a message or calling someone.

"Ok, Confirmed it kid, just incase now one told you, keep your hands to yourself unless told to do otherwise ahaha"

"Sure, and do you know where I can wash my clothes?"

"In the back is a set of showers and washing machines, just as the bartender and she should be able to lead you."

I nodded at this and simply made my way down into the bar.

"hey kid, looks like your peepers aren't scorched now, looking good."

"Ahah, certainly feels better to be honest." I had recognized the voice of this guy, he was one of the people me and rita passed when we came down here the first time.

"When rita gets in, can you have her look for me? I might be in her room, or I might be in the basement."

"Sure..... Will tell her." he seemed like he wanted to ask why I would be in the basement, but likely figured that if he needed to know, he would.

I made my way to the bartender, which to my surprise was not the person from the game as of yet. It was an older women I didn't know.

She lead me to the back portion where there were robes, showers, and washing machines.

I guess with this type of location, getting a little messy, and needing to clean up was to be expected.

Honestly, the fact that they let me in here was a little unreal, I was essentially in a strip club/Gang bar.

But put it to the back of my mind as I disrobed and put my dirty clothes into the washing machine/Dryer combo and set it for 1 cycle.

I put on the temporary robe that was given to me, and headed towards the shower.

I spent entirely to long under the nearly scalding hot water. but it just felt so good.

Finally after having shampooed and cleaned myself, I stepped out and looked at the mirror.

My hair had become a little ragged, I will likely need to get it trimmed soon.

As I got out to the washing machines, I noticed mine was no longer running so I checked it.

Apparently it had already finished and the clothes were nice and warm.

So I put on everything except for the Extra large jacket I had been wearing, now that everything was clean, I looked a bit more like a normal ganger ahaha.

I held the large jacket in my offhand as I got back to Rita's room, and knocked to make sure she wasn't in before entering.

She was still not back, so I went over to where I had left my blanket, I will have to get this washed as well soon.

And I put the large jacket down there. In the crook of the sofa where I had stuffed it, was still the pistol that I had grabbed way back in that house.

I had made sure to keep it away so no one would see it.

So I grabbed it now and put into my waistband around my back to keep it hidden.

I hadn't had a reason to use it since escaping that skinny scav way back, so I had just held onto it.

I had inspected it by feel, and was glad I could tell it was a Nue pistol even when I was blind, I had checked the Mag and it had 9 in it, and after checking the chamber itself, I found its 10th shot, so I unchambered the round and put it in the mag.

I will need to remember to chamber a round when I go to use it, and I will need to get more ammo for it.

But with this simple Pistol and my hacking skills, I may just be able to do some simple jobs.

I just so happen to be in a gang bar so why not go around and see what needs doing!
