Roland says the suit has phoned for help, so we're probably short of time. I ask Dragon about the suit. She says his name is Edward Kurvasier. He reports to a guy called Maximillian, the head of ICorp, who's probably the guy stirring up all the trouble for us.

I tell Kurvasier, that his pal Max had better stay off our backs or we'll blow the front off of his drug running business and leave it open for the world and the media to see. Then I grab Sykes' Ronin off of him and use the butt to knock Kurvasier unconscious.

We need to go before ICorp reinforcements arrive. I ask Dragon if The Sisters are likely to want a hand with the Jamaicans, figuring that if we help out there's a chance we'll be lost in the crowd when more ICorp heavies turn up. Course, we could get shot too, but you've only got one life so you might as well live it and I'd rather be shooting Jamaicans than running from ICorp.

Dragon says The Sisters have probably got it covered, but a few extra guns can't hurt. Sykes agrees to take the kids back to the RipperDoc's where Yuki is stitching up Crash. I keep hold of his Ronin and we all head out. As an after-thought, I get Roland to give me a hand carrying Kurvasier with us. Once out in the alley, we stick Kurvasier head-first in one of the dumpsters, being careful to leave enough sticking out so that he'll be found when his 'friends' turn up.

We watch Sykes make his exit with the three kids. Then using the dumpster, me, Dragon and Roland climb up onto the roof of the Jamaican's building. We've got a good view of The Sisters who are across the street, firing into the building from behind the cover of a couple of armoured vehicles.

Making our way across the roof to the opposite corner of the building, we position ourselves where we can overlook the door. There's a small group of Jamaicans outside the door, shooting at The Sisters from behind a makeshift barricade.

Roland leans over the edge and shoots one. Then Dragon just tosses a grenade down. I wait a second and then jump down and let fly with a full auto burst into the open door. There's just the one Jamaican in the firing line, in the small entrance area. A glance at the wall when he's fallen to the ground suggests he caught about a third of the clip.

Now it's a question of what to do with the seven 'dead' Jamaicans around my feet, bearing in mind our last encounter with them...
