I felt some pity for wifies when we went out cold. I didn’t want it to end like this, but instead it did, and I had no reason to complain. Jumper entered the base first, securing Izvini. Then Leo. He pulled me aside again. “Does he remember anything? Anything at all?” “No he doesn’t.” “And have you been right to que- JUMPER DO NOT KICK THE PRISONER!” “Sorry!” she called back, Tying her hair back again into that ponytail while keeping Izvini pinned. “Are we doing the right thing, boss?” “Debatable… but it’s still the only way we’ll be able to breathe. With him gone, we will have a clear path to any other bounties that we want.” he put a hand on my shoulder. “Now we don’t want our bundle of joy so down, turn that frown upside down!” “Boss, I'm NOT a child.” I stepped back, creating some space. “HE’S NOT A CHILD, BOSS!” jumper called from the bedroom. “NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS PIECE OF TRASH?” “Tie him up. Just until parrot gets here. Alright?” “ALRIGHT!” —------ I came back to consciousness to see my bedroom, normally well lit up, but now dark and dreary. The invis player from before was still there, but now they were joined by the quartz trim and the amethyst trim. My vision was blurry, and my right arm hurt like hell, so I tilted my head to look at it. There was a metal circle shape on it, most likely tying around an essential organ to make sure I couldn't escape without dying. What sort of fresh hell is this? The diamond trim noticed that I was awake and injected something into my neck, making my vision go dark. —-------------- Songs: Meant to be yours - heathers + Meet me inside - hamilton + The bird song - noah floersch + Cole’s response - yaekolre
