Chapter 96: Signed Up

• Nicky looked around nonchalantly at her office coworkers carefully. She had to be sure no one was paying attention to her. Being the closest desk to the main door and copy machine, it was hard for her to do her work without prying eyes. Now was the time to put one of her specialties to work, spying. This was the reason for nearly all her victories and her Fighters easy wins. Knowing your enemy is knowing half of the battle after all.
• Taking out from the top drawer of her desk an ordinary black pen case, Nicky set it next to the hard backed display screen for her computer. Only Rickshaws office had a holo-projected screen. Carefully picking at a crack on the back of the pen case, with her well-manicured fingernail, she pulled out a USB port and plugged it into the computer. A small tab immediately pulled up on the bottom left corner of the screen. The on the tab was a paused video image of Rickshaw's office.
• Nicky had sneakily placed into his office months ago a small micro camera. The camera was disguised as plant support stick in one of Rickshaws many cactus pots. No one would expect a stick to have a camera hidden inside, the perfect spying tool. From its position on a shelf off to one side of the room, Nicky could see and hear everything he was doing in the office.
