AU; ain't no rest for the wicked

i've got bills to pay, i've got mouths to feed
there ain't nothing in this world for free
STARRING:
THOSE BORN INTO FORTUNE - Shintaro Kisaragi. Shinji Ikari.
THOSE CAST OUT BY FORTUNE - Masumi Seki. Monica Campbell. Guy Cecil.

Whatever. He doesn't want the higher-ups to get on his ass about any of this shit. And if he dawdled, he might run into... that person.
The thought elicited another sigh. With a shake of his head, Seki parks the scooter on the sidewalk, making sure to chain it to the lamppost. He's not too worried about anyone stealing from him. Everyone knew who he represented down here, after all.]

Honestly though, they're working out! They still suck at communicating, and they're not very chatty, but Shintaro's quite comfortable with dropping into a seat next to Shinji this evening, a cup of coffee in hand as he stifles a yawn from staying up too late the night before. They've got a mission tonight that they have to go in for the debriefing of in a bit, and he doesn't look one bit excited, which is pretty usual.]
I heard if we're lucky this one's just gonna end with negotiations. It'll be in the usual neighborhood though, so the hardest part's getting to and from there.

A town like this was likely to eat you alive if you weren't careful. It was about time to remind the government that there were two giants in this dreadful place.
His step is measured, with no sign of haste. As he approaches Shintaro there's a friendly smile on his face, as though he's greeting an old friend.]
Hey, sorry about that. But I really wanted to talk to you guys. [The muscle's been taken care of for now. Th boy was a little roughed up, but unharmed. Guy's goal, after all, wasn't terror. It was to inform.] You mind if we have a little one-on-one?

He leans over, setting aside the shotgun he just finished cleaning to tap a still-clean pinky against the surface of Shinji's notebook.] You forgot a negative there. [Math homework. Gendo Ikari made his underage assassins do math homework. He almost couldn't believe it the first time Shinji mentioned it. But here he was now, sitting on the floor of his apartment, watching his younger partner try to get the assignment done after another late night cleaning up for the kid's father. How painfully ordinary. How fucked up this is. He holds back a sigh.]

God, how wrong he turned out to be.
Up against the alley's wall, Seki presses trembling hands over his leg. His jeans feel damp-- or maybe that's the sweat clamming his skin. He slumps, hisses through his teeth:]
Shit.

Only a few weeks after that, today, the gangsters are still agitated. The kids escaped, and the police, however briefly, had their eyes on them. They aren't happy, and especially a lot of the underling thugs who don't have the power or influence to escape this shake-up unscathed are upset and taking it out on people they think they can beat. Like this stringy little kid they came across on the street. Which is why this situation is happening, with a pair of big threatening-looking thugs looming over Shinji in the alleyway tonight, trying to scare him into giving his wallet with threats of punching or kicking or punching.
They'll probably follow through with their threats, if their new prey doesn't cooperate. They're not the brightest of criminals around here, but they are strong. But what they're not expecting, when one of them finally grows impatient and raises a fist to try to show Shinji an "example," is to be attacked by some unexpected third party. Specifically, a small orange shadow that came flying out of nowhere like a squirrel to slam his feet into the side of the big guy's head.]
