part 29

(continuing from the two guys getting trapped with iku)

iku closes in completely, they’re ready to piss themselves.

iku: (“Ooh you guys are in trouubblee.“)

1st Guy: (“He—ey now, we can be reasonable, right, uh, do, do whatever uh, whatever you want us to do, right Jake?“)

1st Guy nudges the 2nd Guy.

Jake: (“Yes yes, me and Lucas are, are uh very obedient servants.“)

Lucas shoves his elbow into his stomach with force.

Jake: (“Ow! Why’d you do that?”)

iku can’t hold her laughter, she let’s out a big hearty laugh as she’s wiping tears off of her eyes. Lucas and Jake stare in confusion.

iku: (“Fuck me man you guys are fucking hilarious. You could’ve just given him your phone yknow.“)

Lucas: (“No way! He keeps downloading these stupid ass games on my phone and my storage is always full because of it.“)

Jake: (“They’re good games man, try ‘em sometime.“)

Lucas: (“DUDE SHE IS GOING TO FUCKING KILL US.“)

Jake: (”--- Oh. Right.”)

iku: (“… I have an idea, if you wanna live come with me and take a seat.”)

iku looks expectedly at them to take the opportunity to not die.

Lucas: (“Yes yes of course.”)

iku gestures for them to walk infront of her.

They sit down in the next carriage and sit down next to the door.

iku: (“My job only requires me to ‘roughen up’ yall. And both of you got pretty fucked over by your friend back there.“)

Jake: (“Oh that dude, he was like added on by the guy who sent the briefcase.”)

iku: (“So you don’t even know ‘em?“)

Jake shakes his head.

iku leans on the desk and pinches her nose with her left hand.

iku: (“So how’d you two get in the picture, if the guy already had someone to take care of the delivery?”)

iku: (“This just sounds so incredibly fucking stupid.“)

Lucas: (“It would’ve worked fine if this dumbass didn’t need his phone charger so bad.“)

Jake: (“Oh like hiding in the bathroom was my idea!”)

iku: (“Both of you, shut the fuck up.”)

iku: (“Lemme think… So… On paper… He had a guy, you two are additional contractors from a different org, so if I poach you two to work for me, I only have to kill your runaway friend.“)

Lucas: (“Why are you doing this, I mean aren’t you like a super blood thirsty lunatic?”)

iku: (“You’re lucky, I’m in a good mood.“)

Jake: (“So can we like hang out as like your buds?”)

iku: (“Don’t test me.“)

Lucas once again shoves his elbow into Jake’s stomach.

Jake: (“Will you cut that out man? Fuck.”)

iku gets a notification on her phone.

Notification: <(A “I sure do hope you know what you’re doing.”)

iku opens the messaging app and replies;

iku <(“dw they’re idiots but good ppl, and one of them is not that dumb.“)

A <(“If they fuck anything up, that’s your problem to solve.”)

iku <(“ik, they’ll die.”)

iku: (“Sorry, even I have people that I need to present to.”)

iku: (“Right, next station is still like an hour ‘an a half away so he can’t really get off, so we catch him, I do my job and we figure out the rest? Deal?”)

iku reaches her hand out towards Lucas. He shakes it, and she shakes Jake’s hand too.

iku: (“Alright get up let’s go.“)

They make their way back to the jammed door, iku sees trough the door’s window that there’s a utility wrench jammed in the handles, she grabs the emergency glass hammer and smashes the window, and pulling the wrench out.

iku: (“Might as well take these, I don’t think any gunshots will be overlooked. Lucas take the glass hammer.“)

Jake: (“Do you need me to do anything boss? Do I need to call you Boss now?”)

iku: (“Just follow and be pretty, and yeah I’d appreciate if the two of you called me that, letting you live ‘an all.“)
