Jerome's hand moves really quick. In less than a second, a huge pistol, a Ruger Superwarhawk, roars over the bowl of chips.
The kid stops the bullet with his broad chest and fell down like a log breaking a table.
"Hands up!"

Yey. 6 with Heavy Pistol. I will make the actions of the remaining Livewires and let Brian and Drexler write. Johnny will join us eventually.
Oh, for fuck sakes...
Johnny is a dashing smiling youngster. You like him. That is his strength, to be liked and to make people laugh so they relax and agree to deals. since that is your image of him, you are slightly surprised when he reaches under his glam rivetted jacket and extracts an Powerbolt taser and a Colt Cobra and aims for the big guy. His face does not look like an innocent smile. It looks like a rabit dog that just got his food kicked from his mouth. He shots. The guy gets 2 bullets and a powerful electrical shock before he can yell. Johnny does not stop to see if he falls, or how people react, he just keeps shooting.

The sixes are here!!! 2 criticals. the taser does 1 damage and the bullets 2 more. Not bad for a face type of guy...
The big guy trembled in shock as the electricity of the taser overloaded her body. Good side of that, he didn't even feel Johny's shot in the belly.
Yelping like a puppy, the Livewire fell down leaving a smoke trail.
Remaining wounds: 2
Paralized.
The Livewire Gang is not a suitable one for rookies. They usually are strong, noisy and bullies and, more often than not, they die soon.
The high-speed bullet from Jerome hit the kid's heart. He died almost instantly.
Remaining wounds: 0
Jerome has killed a youngster!
"What the...?"
Red Mohawk guy was surprised. He had expected a simple job: enter, kill, take the money. It hadn't been even 20 seconds after beginning and he already had lost all his cannon fodder.
But he hadn't become a Livewire leader running away from fights. And he had a gun.
"Fuck! A cop! Wake up, you bastard!"
He pulled the trigger as he kicked his pal with a boot covered in chains. He destroyed a lamp but nobody else was harmed.

Brian and Drexler, you go!
After them, Johnny can act as well.
Once he recover from surprise, Brian tries to chase after Ted, jumping over the counter.
He doesn't want to avoid the fight, but he thinks that catch Ted would be more useful to the group - maybe the Distiller will be grateful for saving his life from the Livewires.

Drexler's reflexes and implants allow her to see the projectile passing near her head. Air becomes thick around her. Everybody seems to speak in slow motion. Everybody but her. Or, at least, she feels that way.
Drexler jumps from her chair throwing away the bowl of fries. The blades that gave her a nickname in the pitfighting business come out with a noise.
She crashes against the wall and falls down.
"Fucking drugs!"

Shit! I am very high now.
Johnny seems somewhat surprised by his first success, and his follow up shots pass near but miss both the stunned gang member and the livewire boss. The fire in his eyes is still there. Seems like he has something personal against them

Johnny doubles up from the shot in his abdomen and puts one knee on the ground. Reeling with pain, he clenches his teeth and shots the gang member again! His taser hits painfully once again and he is paralized! Eat electricity motherfucker. Unfortunately the great taser shot is not followed up by a good pistol shot, and he remains on his feet. For now.

Of a sudden, like a metallic insect, Drexler jumps from the floor over the biggest of the attackers. It's a swift move that seems odd, as if she had more joints than normal legs do. In Glow City, that's entirely possible. Her wrist blades come out like mantis' arms.
"IiiiiIIiaAaAaAaAAAAARGH!!!"
The livewire is still stunned by Johnny's taser but there is an instant were panic can be seen in his eyes when Two Blades falls over him hacking and slashing. Assault software and combat programmation take control as the techie's mind numbs once more time. She can't remember her real name.
And then, there is only one Livewire left.

Critical hit! I kill the grunt! That guy is FUCKING DEAD!
Understanding that he wouldn't be able to jump over the counter, Brian decides to skirt it and then run to chase Ted, ignoring the fight and the shells dancing around him.
He will have to run fast if he wants to catch the Distiller...

Sob... :-(
Brian has a look through the back door just to see a bike roaring in the distance: Ted is definitely gone.
Inside the restaurant, the Livewire boss goes slightly pale as he watchs Two Blades turn his grunt into bloody pieces. The rest of the group feels the same as they see the carnage: not bad for a techie.
The livewire is the first to react. He picks a chair and breaks it over Drexler. Pieces of wood rain all around the place as the cyber-woman falls down.
"Eat that, bitch!"
But things are getting more and more red. It is not just the splashes of blood over the walls or the moist inniards soacking the floor, there is a red light as well. A red alarm has just started blinking in the wall: Zing Corporation controls almost all the restaurants in Glow City and they are very jealous of agitators, robbers and the like.

Drexler, you get one wound. You are in the floor, slightly stunned but you can still act.
Guys, the Zinc enforcers are possibly on the way.
Shit, the cats are coming! One round and we leave guys!

I assume the livewire is oblivious to the alarm, right?
Right now, he is smashing Drexler but he will notice soon.
Brian jumps over Drexler and tries to get her out of the place before the force arrive.

"Don't touch... I can do it... myself "
Despite her words, Drexler is almost K.O. and stumbles when standing. The chair and the drugs have stunned her brain like a fire hammer but the adrenaline is not making things better. Her target selection software is showing her the vital points of BrIan same way as in pit fighting combat. With a supreme effort, she keeps her blades in.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
I wake up more or less and do what I am told.
"No. You can't, you're screwed up" thinks Brian, although he doesn't touch her and just says: "OK, stay calm and come with me - let's go out of here".
