Waywalker is both maneuvering the van and dodging cyber attacks, but his natural paranoia paid - he was on his guards, looking for trouble in the matrix, and avoided getting MARKed by whoever is trying to sneak into his RCC, plus getting a MARK on the attacker ! However, the rigger just run out of luck while trying to evade the target lock of the drone.
In the meantime, a few seconds before the shit hit the fan (or actually, in this case, the van), M.Fox's commlinks rang and the runner, immediate recognizing the number given earlier this evening by their M.Johnson "Joahnnes", opted to answer the call - not aware that the group was far from being safe:
"M.Fox, I am pretty sure this is the worst time to call you, but I have some important news... Can you spare the minute ?"Before the runner can reply, strings of bullets hit the van and the girls start screaming...

Recap on init:
Haywire's 1st pass (28) Full Defense => -10, so 18, then ordered drones to deploy and fires (18), second pass Vehicle Control (
, thus drones deploys on 2nd pass. (So brute force on the deck has to wait for the next combat turn)
Drone's initiative (16), so fire on second pass (6) (deployment is a movement, no action required) - for simplicity sake, let's assume the drone is both in range and no bonus/penalty applies)
