part 12

(continuing from iku getting knocked out)

She wakes up in a empty shower room. She can feel a tiny rumble coming from the floor, clearly she’s moving. As she looks down on her body she realizes that she’s naked, no guns, no clothes. She hears shitty music blasting and chatter outside. She gets up and checks if the door is locked. It’s not. She peeks out and sees 3 people gathered around a table and having a lot of drinks, clearly they’re celebrating something.

Something about them is really familiar but she can’t really figure out what, But her focus goes to finding her clothes and guns. There is a couple lockers in the shower room she’s in.

iku: “thinking to herself” (“No way, they’re not that stupid.“)

She opens on of the lockers, it has all her stuff.

iku: “thinking to herself” (“They don’t lock the door and put me in the same room as my stuff, either they’re sure I’m dead or they’re such amatures that they didn’t even check. I’m gonna have a field day with them for sure.“)

She gets dressed and loads her guns. She sneaks out of the shower room and grabs a bottle of vodka, there’s a bunch. She starts throwing them at the 3 men there.

iku: (“BACK FROM THE DEAD BITCHEEES!!“)

The three thugs are confused for a second before they charge at her. They land a couple punches on iku before she kills two of them. The third one is knocked down by an uppercut she gives, She proceeds to pounce on him.

She recognizes the patch on his tshirt, it’s the gang that killed her parents. She becomes furious and starts chocking him with a really angry expression. The thug is gasping for air, pleading for mercy.

Thug: (“Please--- We thought--- You- Were- Dead… -gasp- Let— go of me— I can— I can tell you— Who sent us—”)

iku stops squeezing.

iku: (“Speak bitch.“)

She cocks her gun and presses it into his forehead.

Thug: (“They tried to stay anonymous, but it was a person from your club. They gave us 20k for your death. We got you and orders came from higher ups that we were to take your body back to them.“)

She leans closer to the thug.

Thug: (“PLEASE DON’T KILL ME I JUST STARTED WORKING FOR THESE FUCKS. Please… I want to live.” sobbing “I want to live…”)

iku: (“… I’m honestly offended that you think I’m only work $20k. Ugh, whatever.“)

Thug: (“..So are you letting me go? Please?”)

iku: (slow sadistic chuckle “Fuck. No.“)

She pulls the trigger. His brain is painted all over the wall.

She gets up from the body, and starts looking for the captain. After a while she finds him, sneaking up to him she gets her knife out and grabs him by the head and points the knife at his throat.

iku: (“Wanna live? Or wanna die like the rest did.“)

Captain: (“Hey! Hey! Calm down! I’m not with them! I was forced to do this! Please! They though you were dead, You were out for like a day!”)

iku: (“And none of you thought to check if i have a pulse? Also knocking out doesn’t mean someone’s dead dumbass!“)

Captain: (“I knew! I knew that! I just didn’t tell them, I hate them! … You said they’re dead right?”)

iku: (“They died after i made them piss their pants, same fate for you unless you get me back to the city.“)

Captain: (“Sure! Sure! I’ll gladly do that! Just uh… It’s gonna take like 2 days, currents strong that way. You’re gonna have to stay on the ship for a while, like sleep and eat. Oh and don’t shower, the filters are busted.”)

iku: (“Fuck you mean? I have blood all over me!”)

iku lets go of the Captain.

Captain: (“Yeah this is a cheap fucking piece of shit of a ship, those pollack fucks cheaped out on us. Anyways there’s food and drinks in the kitchen and I guess just take over one of the beds in the sleeping quarter.”)

iku: (“Can’t believe it, my first assasination attempt was by a bunch of idiots, cya later.“)

She leaves the helm.
