Judy Alvarez! ! !
The one and only Judy!
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
Seeing Alex Carter's excitement, V asked suspiciously, "What? You know her?"
"Ahem, I know of her, but she probably doesn't know me," Alex replied, touching his nose awkwardly.
What's the best relationship in the world?
It's when I understand you and your essence, but you don't know me...
"Alright, let's meet at the Lizzie's Bar and go find her together."
After giving these instructions, V hung up the call.
As soon as Alex heard that Judy's storyline was starting, he quickly headed to the nearby fast travel point.
When he reappeared, he was not far from Lizzie's Bar.
"Hey, handsome! New here? We're not open during the day."
Just as Alex approached the door, he was stopped by the female bouncers guarding the entrance.
"Here to try the braindance, sweetie?"
"Fighting virtual scorpions is so boring, why not have something real with us?"
"Hard to find a man this clean these days."
"Oh, he looks like he's from the East. They say they're quite conservative, but he can't be that young, right?"
"Then hands off, he's mine..."
Before Alex could speak, a group of tough female bouncers surrounded him, some even getting a bit handsy.
In Night City, men like Alex, with good looks and no implants, are indeed quite popular.
"Ahem, I'm with V, just here to see Judy," Alex quickly explained.
While a little fun on the side isn't out of the question, that was his past life's indulgence.
In Night City, who knows what secrets these girls with zippers might have.
Besides, it would be too awkward if he ran into another "help him" situation.
Hearing Alex's words, the female bouncers showed signs of regret.
So he's with V. No point in pursuing this one.
They're just street muscle; they can't afford to mess with a merc like V.
"You wait here."
One of them had her pupils light up slightly, then said to Alex, "I've told Judy, you can go in."
Alex nodded and walked into Lizzie's.
Despite appearances, it's still bustling inside with regulars chatting at the bar.
After ordering a tequila, Alex sat at the bar waiting for V to arrive.
In truth, he knew where Judy was now and could guess what was happening.
In the game, V urgently sought someone and reached out to Judy, triggering Evelyn's main storyline.
But with Alex's presence, V, who wasn't in any immediate danger, wouldn't have contacted Judy first.
However, with Evelyn Parker missing, Judy must have sensed something was wrong and reached out to V for help.
It's a pity that, considering Judy's current preferences, Alex didn't want to push things.
While he entertained thoughts of seeing if he could change Judy's mind, this first meeting was better left to V.
...
An hour later, V appeared at Lizzie's entrance.
"Alex, let's go."
Alex nodded, got up, and followed V toward the basement where Judy was.
After a few turns, they entered the basement.
Judy, sitting in front of the computer, came into view.
Her pretty face, distinct hair, and tattoos gave her a look of both capability and allure.
"Hey V, you're here. And he is..."
Seeing Alex behind V, Judy couldn't help but frown.
She wasn't particularly fond of men.
Alex smiled and introduced himself: "Alex Carter, V's partner. Nice to meet you."
Out of politeness, Judy nodded to Alex: "Hello, Alex."
After the greetings, Judy got straight to business.
"V, since your last job, Evelyn hasn't contacted me, and she hasn't answered my calls."
"I'm worried something might have happened to her..."
V nodded and asked, "You want us to help find out where Evelyn is?"
"Exactly." Judy stood and handed a cigarette case to V: "Evelyn worked as a doll at Clouds."
"There's an address inside the cigarette pack. I won't short you on compensation."
V turned to Alex: "What do you think?"
Alex leaned back casually and smiled: "I'm in."
"Alright, we'll take the job. Wait for our good news."
"Thank you so much!" Judy sighed with relief.
She was one of the few who knew the truth about the incident at Konpeki Plaza two days ago.
Given V's success against Arasaka, she trusted V's capability.
As for Alex, if V valued him, he must be capable as well.
After their goodbyes, Alex and V left Lizzie's together.
Checking the time, V suggested, "Let's check in with Jackie first, then head to Clouds when it gets dark."
"Sounds good, let's do it!"
A genuine smile spread across Alex's face.
Finally, thanks to his presence, when V set foot in Clouds, she wouldn't be going in alone!
