3.6 - Stormhawks at the Diner

"We return to Al’s Bar on C-deck, where Neal searches for Allison, Loamy gets tough, and the Lightning Riggers are almost helpful."

Synopsis
Neal enters Al's Bar, asking if anyone has seen Alison, punching a Rigger, Benny, after he makes an insulting joke about her. Loamy eventually manages to catch up and enters the bar. Since she already interrupted Neal being intimidating, she asks if it'd be alright with Neal if she intimidated the Riggers, which he allows. The bartender eventually says she might remember something if Neal buys something. Neal's card gets declined, as he's currently listed as a criminal. Loamy offers to pay, but due to Neal's card StreetSafe gets alerted. As alarms start to go off Neal and Loamy flee.

Loamy leads them to an access tunnel. Neal has trouble fitting and gets roughly yanked down by Loamy, losing Betsey in the process. Neal wants to go back up to get his shovel, but Loamy stops him. She then wants to move on and continue searching for Alison, but Neal asks what the point is as she might be long dead. Loamy says he shouldn't lose hope and manages to motivate Neal again. He then remembers what Candice said, that a Dead Disposal Driver would know if Alison was dead or not. Loamy mentions knowing Simon.

A person opens the hatch to the access tunnel and shouts for Neal. Loamy has him hide and tells the person that nobody but her is down here. The person says she shouldn't bother and throws down Betsey, compliments of Lucky Strike. The Riggers picked up Betsey before StreetSafe could. Neal tells the Rigger to thank Lucky Strike for him. After the Rigger leaves, Neal and Loamy head to Simon
