As it was time for him to change his life, he set Rikki up higher than all previous women of his life. He was continuously telling Jack how much he loved her. He met Rikki just when he was in stall and needed something to aim for and get him going, setting her up as a symbol for everything he wanted to achieve. She was new to the scene, and Bobby explained to her its players, all the wild side and the tricks behind the malls and plazas, shops and clubs. Rikki had the ambition to be a simstim star but Bobby laughed whenever she talked about it.īobby called her Rikki Wildside. One evening they sat at a corner table at GL when he told her how Jack lost his arm, making him feel uncomfortable. As Jack was leaving, he hoped that his new "fortune cookie" would bring them luck and strike it rich. While Jack was leaving them alone, Bobby made a show of rooting through a stack of audio cassettes. That first night he took her to their loft and introduced her to Jack. That summer he spent more time in the GL, sitting by the open doors wearing sunglasses and watching the passing crowd, expecting for a woman who would change his luck. He was 28, old for a console cowboy, and his peers would say that he was losing his edge he needed the big score because smart money told him that he was fading fast. According to Jack his sunglasses could have NEXT printed in green Day-Glo capitals. Jack saw him countless times falling in love, being heartbroken, and then recover rapidly seeing the next interesting woman who flowed past him.

He is one of the young-old faces in the Gentleman Loser where he sat all night waiting for the right one who would show him the way and change his luck.Īccording to Molly Millions he is a "real asshole". Women was what got him moving and made him plan his future each time.
In his chaotic hustler's life, he turns women into emblems that provide him with inspiration and motivation. He plays a game with himself and used women as his score. He doesn't love money and power, and his skill, in which he had some basic pride, is not enough to keep him motivated. He doesn't know any other kind of life other than the one in risk and adrenaline inside the matrix, ending with a flow of credits into his account, proving right his nightly moves. When some business excited him, he is noted for his striking speed in punching commands on the keyboard, he breaks through the fanciest ICE. He works sitting in his swivel chair with a terry sweatband across his forehead.
