Noon already? The techie looked at her hacking watch, one of her first inventions. The thing looked like a regular digital watch- the way it was when she first bought it. Later on, using the kitchen counter as a desk, she was able to make the clock part a lid above a totally intricate tool to hack into the security systems of pretty much any rich building. It helped a lot during their raids but since Hunter was arrested, some houses had their security upgraded to something much more serious: human body guards. Something the brunette didn't know how, or like for that matter, to process. Luckily most rich adults were too naïve to think that a human brain could outwit their simple machines. The place Venalin worked at was the closest thing to expensive electronics she could get: A cheap pawn shop that was run by an old couple. It was one of the only places she could get away with a cord or two without having anyone asking her why she needed it. She chuckled at the thought. What would she say if she did? “Oh, y'know, the usual. Grabbing stuff for the Hoodlums so we can steal money from the rich idiots and give to the poor that actually need the money”? That would have resulted in a life behind bars.
Since her shift was an all day, it was going to take a lot for the hold man to let her go. As old the couple was, no matter how small their business was, they didn't own a store in the Big Apple for nothing. Customers were pretty slow today but that wasn't going to be a good reason. Hell, what day wasn't the pawn shop nearly deserted? The only ones who ever gave the big dough was the shady ones who gave diamonds and jewelry which didn't faze Venalin at all. This was New York city, and she wasn't a googly eyed girl who wanted everything shiny and a prince charming that could put her in her place. After calling her coworker, she could never remember his name, a man in his thirties to take her place she walked over to the back of the rectangular store and knocked gently to the old couple's office. Fifteen minutes, filled with begging and reasoning, she was able to get to the changing room.
Fifteen minutes. If she were a regular girl, she could've sweet talked the old man. But she didn't. Sweet talking was never something she was capable of. After taking off her work uniform, khaki's and a black “Pawn It” t-shirt, she changed into her regular outfit: baggy, pocket filled jean pants, and a guy's gray wife beater. Obviously she never cared for fashion. With a quick goodbye to her co worker, she looked at her watch as she hopped on her motorcycle—literally just a bike with an engine strapped to it. With metal parts, she was able to make it look like a cheap motorcycle that was just rusty. As she drove, no doubt people gave her a look or two. A girl, tall for her age, brunette hair tied up, poor clothes that didn't even look her size, old sneakers that were dirty from dirt and gas who was riding a strange looking bike. Her clothes that she left her home with were all traded away for money. The rich fabric she had worn was able to give her money to sustain her for a couple of days before she found herself with the hoodlums.
Using, illegal, shortcuts through alleyways she was able to make it to the house in less than fifteen minutes; dodging the traffic that could've made the drive thirty minutes, she parked her bike at the side of the house. No doubt the people in the living room knew she was there by the loud engine's roaring. Taking off her helmet gray helmet, salvaged from a junkyard, she walked into the apartment building. When she got to the living room she instantly recognized some of the people. Instead of sitting on a couch, she leaned against the wall in a lazy, slouching matter with her arms folded, hiding her torn up biker gloves, also saved from a junkyard. “I'd ask but then again, it doesn't seem like any of you know what this meeting is for either,” she said calmly. She probably looked like a freak to everyone who didn't know her usual routine.
Preferring not to look around awkwardly, she grabbed her phone from her pocket- the same phone she took with her when she left her parents. It was an old smart phone that probably wasn't sold in stores anymore. Usually her parents had a tracker installed in the thing but after tinkering with it before she left during her time in the underground tech place she used to go to, she was able to detach it and change the code so that the phone company wouldn't able to shut her phone down. If, that is, they found her number. The techie was no stereotypical newbie to electronics. She was able to hack into any system, with glee and unimaginable amount of hype that no one, besides probably Jack, would understand. There was a high she received from the sense of accomplishment. She viewed the systems as funner, more complicated- a challenge that made her ambitiousness come alive.
