As Renetta finished her cigarette, she noticed that the cleaning Boomer that was taking care of the sidewalk had begun slowly making its' way towards the mall. Perhaps heading back into storage until there was another job for it...the sidewalk did look quite cleanly right now, after all.
Meanwhile, a slightly worried looking man strolled past Eclair. From her previous visits to the mall, Eclair knew him as the manager of the taco shop. Almost immediately after going behind the counter, he picked up the phone.
"Mall operations?" he said, barely audible from the distance. "Wasn't there supposed to be a cleaning Boomer in the food court by now? I can't find it anywhere, and the floor is a mess..."
Back at Roldo's store, the older man was back at his desk, punching a few of the keys on his keyboard, and putting on a small headset.
"You know the drill. Watch your batteries, finish the job as quickly as possible." Roldo said into his headset. "It's been quite some time since the police tolerated any vigilantes, after all, so it would be best to avoid any...interactions...with them."
Finishing his statement, he pressed yet another button on his console. As he did, the platforms Rebecca and Samatha were standing on dropped out from under them, and high above, the ceiling opened up. Small sparks of electricity bulged out around them, and the felt a pull downwards, as if being held in a giant rubber band, and then...snap! They sailed upward, emerging side by side from the parrallel launch tubes.
"Target is at the uptown mall." they heard inside their helmets. "By the time you get there, the chaos will have likely begun."
