part 44

iku looks at the body for a while before starting to head out of the square, as she walks she looks at the large number of corpses. Pools of blood everywhere. As she walks out she notices a lot of vans and cameras. The Mayor turned this into a pr move. iku is furious, but, she honestly cannot give a shit to stop him. Anna messages her.

A <(“Black raincoat, face mask. Next to the ice cream shop, waiting on you.”)

iku - drenched in blood, walks there.

Anna: (“Good. Good. I knew you’d be fine. Yeah… Good job.”)

iku: (“Yeah thanks… What’s he doin’?”)

iku points at the mayor.

Anna: (“Being a dumbass. That’s why I had to get these clothes, can’t be seen on camera. Here take this towel, your face is messy.”)

iku grabs the towel, however hands are shaking so much that she can’t really clean herself off.

iku: (“Right, I think I’m still a little buzzed, can you wipe me off real quick?“)

Anna: (“A little? Right yeah.“)

Anna starts wiping iku’s face as she leans down.

Anna: (“You didn’t get hurt too bad right?”)

iku: (“No no, I’m fine. I got knocked around a little, I did get shot in the back, but I didn’t get any bullets in me.“)

Anna: (“Thank fuck that they started shooting each other. I don’t think you would’ve lived otherwise.“)

A reporter and a cameraman comes up to iku, Half of her face is still covered in blood, but Anna quickly jumped away and ran out of view.

Reporter: (“Emily Peterson from Channel 3, can you confirm that you were the one hired to vacate the Eurozone square from the reported “violent crim—”)

iku: (“I’m sorry, who the fuck are you?“)

Reporter: (“Uh.. Emily Pet—”)

iku: (“Yeah no I mean are you person I need to give a shit about?“)

Reporter: (“uh.. We’re live… We- we can just cut away.”)

iku: (“Oh! You’re Live? Cool! Give me that camera!”)

iku snatches the camera out of the cameraman’s hand and smashes it, the feed cuts out but the audio remains on the feed.

iku starts shouting at the other tv crews:

iku: (“IF ANY OF YOU FUCKS AIR THIS, I’MMA SUE THE FUCK OUT OF YOU AND CUT YOUR HEADS OFF, AM I CLEAR? CUT THE FEED!“)

The tv crews all turn their cameras off.

iku: (“And you, Emily whateverthefuck, get out of my face please.“)

Reporter: (“Yes, … sorry for bothering you.“)

Anna comes back.

Anna: (“Fucking vultures these people are, I hate the local news people, so starved for headlines.“)

Anna: (“Also that fruitcake kept his promise, the two mill is all yours, the police is withdrawing, and city council will stop fucking you over.”)

iku: (“Good. He’s still in shooting range. Also, A, take $500,000 for yourself.“)

Anna: (“What? But, I haven’t done really anything on this.”)

iku: (“Bullshit, just take it.“)

Anna: (“Are you su-”)

iku: (“Just fucking take it. Come on, we need to get home.“)
