Shadowrun: Cold Front (A Short Story) by Amanda Cherry

THE SEATTLE STREETS ARE DARK AND DEEP…

Shadowrunner-wannabe Lia has just scored what should be an easy job: fetch spring rolls for her rich roommate and sneak them back inside the “boarding school”—detention facility—they’re both stuck in.

Even though it should be a simple run, it’s winter in Seattle—with real snow coming down on the dark streets—and Lia knows backup is always a good idea. So she enlists Elfy, a street-smart thief, and Ackler, an orc decker, to assist her on the food heist.

But when they stumble on a corp conspiracy practically in their backyard, with the three junior ’runners make it out in one piece…or become the next victims of a megacorps machinations?
