W,
I’ve got just what you wanted for The Hole. Ever heard of a Darkshade? It’s one hell of a jammer, top of the line all the way. Nice and small too, about the size of a tissue box. Toss it in back, plug it in, and that’s all she wrote. Instant netphone dead zone throughout your place. No ring, no ping. Your lovely patrons can’t make outgoing calls, net connectivity’s disabled, and the phone’s data goes dark, meaning there’s no way to track its location once they enter the bar. Even the phone’s camera stops functioning. Can flip this baby on/off whenever you like or just let it run all the time. And there’s a custom app for your phone so it’s not affected.
Darkshades are rare and pricey, but this mf’s worth every damn penny. I got two on hand, the base model, and the el grande fuck up everyone’s shit version. If you splurge for the upgrade, it has a wider reach. Go with this and as soon as anyone gets within a forty yard radius of The Hole, they get complete netphone signal blackout. Good fucking way to shut out half a city block, right? Just not a smart idea to use these in a populated area. The locals will report sig interference to their providers, calls will be made, cops’ll know something’s up, and assholes will start fishing around. But a place like Ardus? You’re golden.
Worth the investment, my man. Just say the word and I’ll have my guy drop by tomorrow and set you up. He can get it done in under an hour and be out of your hair.

The joke’s on him, this is just a regular Saturday night for her 😉
I just KNEW that Wilkos had SOMETHING up his mechanical arm bolts, sockets, or sleeves, or whatever he’s got in that darn augmentation of his. Although, if I wanted to see Madison get all hot and horny, it’d have to be in a hotel room, or a dark ally, or maybe in an empty movie theater or something! Hey, Midnight? Do you think that we’ll get to see some of “ THAT “ going on as it happened in the final pages of Part 2 of Horror High here? And if so, how many pages is it? 😏😎
Judging by the way his arm’s shaking, it looks like Madison managed to disable his mechanical arm when she tossed him. Hopefully Madison can pull herself together and take Wilkos out before he gets it working again.
When i got to the part of W saying the E “workin’ you over” my mind started playing the Beatles singing “We can work it out”.
So you Go Madison! …or potentially Come….
I know, i am different and strange, but i am also unashamed of this fact. 😉
I love where this is going!
Wilkes becoming a chalk-outline on his own floor? Yes
