Mr. Johnson. You know the name. You probably know the faceโsmooth, implacable, professional. Heโs got the nuyen and resources you want, and he knows it. He may not have your skills, but he doesnโt care. Thatโs what he has the nuyen forโso he can buy yours. Heโs corporate through and through, and you canโt ever forget that, because if you do, thatโs when he sells you out for the good of his corp. But heโll stay professional, of course, right up until the moment he slides the knife smoothly into your back. Heโs useful, that Mr. Johnson, but every time you meet him, every time you have to deal with his double-crosses, his condescending put-downs, his smug superiority, you wish that the day would come when the tables were turned, when he was forced out on the street with nothing but his wits and street skillsโwhatever those might beโto keep him alive.
IS SAVING YOUR OWN LIFE?
Well, good news. Sometimes wishes come true, even in the Sixth World. Mr. Johnson is about to meet the street, and youโve got a ringside seat.
