part 24

(continuing from the catch up part)

Pilot 1

this pilot takes place half a year before the main story starts, iku is 22, Anna is 34.

Anna is leaning on a building behind her, next to a door. She’s smoking. The sun is getting low but there’s at least an hour before darkness hits.

iku pulls up in her car and gets out. She walks up to Anna and takes the cigarette out of her mouth and puts it out.

Anna: (“Hey, what the fuck, you know that’s my only cig a month!“)

Anna throws a tiny jab at iku’s abdomen in retaliation.

Anna: (“Meani---”)

iku proceeds to put Anna in a choke hold.

Anna: (“Lemme go!! Come on!! What is up with you today?!”)

iku points at a No Smoking sign on the pole next to her.

Anna: (“Right. Because you’re such a law abiding citizen.”)

iku releases Anna.

Anna: (“Right anyways. Take these.“)

Anna hands iku a pair of gloves, black, and has grippy patterns in it so it’s easier to hold a gun.

iku: (“Fucking damn it. Ugh. Is it not bad enough you’ve got me out here on a Sunday? Really? Fucking gloves? This’ll make my hands all sweaty and disgusting. Yuck.“)

Anna: (“Are you finished? Good. Take these, don’t throw them away.“)

Anna hands iku three mags for her d-eagle.

iku: (“Anything else your highness?“)

Anna: (“Leave no witnesses, go and find the blue colored keycard, it’s on one of the employees. And stop bitching.”)

iku: (“What about the bodies?“)

Anna: (“I have a crew lined up in 30 minutes. Now go.“)

Anna gets into iku’s car and sits in the passenger seat, she pulls out her thinkpad, and turns on the video feed from iku’s shades.

iku enters the building.

the people in building have hair nets and safety clothes on to avoid some kind of contamination.

iku starts blasting.

Chaos erupts but the tight rooms and lab equipment doesn’t let people get away from iku fast enough. She finds the man who has the keycard and instead of killing him on the spot, she shoots his ankles out forcing him to crawl.

She walks up to the injured man.

iku: (“See this is what happens when you’re employer is a dick and makes you work on a Sunday. Really. I mean who the fuck wants to work on a Sunday, cause sure as shit it’s not me. Like, I assume you’ve got a family or someone you can love and you can’t be with them ever again because my employer took advantage of your employer’s shitty attitude towards his people. I mean I hope at least they were giving you triple pay.“)

Anna is audibly groaning infront of her laptop.

iku grabs the man and rips the keycard off of him. She throws him down on the ground.

Injured Man: (“You can leave now you know. Go to a therapist.”)

iku: (“Too expensive, but thanks for hearing me out. My job does require me to kill you tough.”)

iku points the gun at his forehead.

iku: (“Nothing personal.“)

As iku kills the man Anna starts preparing. Getting a towel out and putting it on the driver seat, and some sanitizer and another towel to let iku clean herself up a bit.

iku gets in the car.

iku: (“Jobs done.“)

Anna: (“You really could’ve done this without the bitching, but whatever, you’ve done a good job.”)

iku: (“Hey I’m still human you know, sometimes I need someone to vent to.“)

Anna: (“Just clean yourself up.”)

iku takes her shades off and wipes her face and hands clean, well there’s still some blood on her but that’s gonna have to come off with a shower.

iku: (“So, what now?“)

Anna: (“Well, I was thinking maybe we could go eat.”)

iku: (“Not a bad idea, burgers?“)

Anna: (“Yeah that sounds good.“)
