CASE: The State of Georgia vs. George Sweeney (Part Two)

Sorry for the long update time. I was called away unexpectedly.

Okay, I was going to tell what happened with George Sweeney. Basically: he fucked up. Badly.

As he told me, his job was to observe and report back on a specific runner that we were looking to recruit. The runner got wind that there were proxies that were looking for him. Sweeney was supposed to pull out, to not scare him into running again, and then we would set a trap.

Unfortunately, Sweeney was an arrogant jackass, so he decided to keep following the runner (whom I will just refer to now as "John Doe"). And while he thought he was being inconspicuous, he was pretty fucking conspicuous. I was surprised he didn't wear a fucking Operator symbol on his shoulder.

So it wasn't a surprised when John Doe attacked him. John Doe was pretty paranoid by then (a common trait among runners, it seems), which accounts from him attacking Sweeney in a crowded bar with tons of witnesses. Sweeney hit him on the head, which cracked his skull, and John Doe died.

This presented a problem: we wanted to recruit John Doe. A number of lower proxies are actually ex-runners, who are tired of running and want protection. So they join us and we let them work for Father doing the work that psychopaths really aren't cut out for (like, say, accounting). It's a neat system.

And Sweeney had fucked it up. So after he told me his story, I slipped something in his drink. And two hours later, he had a "heart attack" in his cell and died.

Just goes to show up: the Father does not like fuck ups.
