ASTRA HART had murder on her mind. Her hating the man was a daily occurrence, a mutual feeling. But never once in her life had Astra wanted to kill Enzo fucking Clarke in all of his goddamn glory, more than she did in that moment.
Not only had he obnoxiously laughed in her face when he saw her wearing one of her many (because, aside from paying for her grandpa's hospital fees, Astra Hart had nothing else to spend her money on — Kai owned her apartment, after all, so designer clothes it was! )miu miu mini skirts — "a bit desperate are you, Astra?" — he'd followed it up with his most heinous act to date ( if his murder sprees were ignored, that is ), Enzo Clarke had scoffed down her breakfast bar and she was hellbent on revenge.
As she watched him savour every bite of her granola bar with a smug look on his face, Astra was planning three different (but all equally impossible )ways to get him back. She could easily snatch up one of the unpacked rifles before her, but the noise would attract unwanted attention. Stealing his Glock would be no trouble whatsoever, but no one would ever believe he'd shot himself. Though, there was always. . .
"You want my bagel?" Phoenix had interrupted her quickly spiralling thoughts, upon noticing her breakfast bar wrapper crumpled where Enzo sat.
"You're too sweet," Astra split it in half, only to sigh at its contents. "Cream cheese again, really?"
With flushed cheeks, Phoenix replied, "what else can you put in a bagel?"
"Something that doesn't taste like cheesy shit." She deadpanned, "still, thanks for offering." Astra went back to formulating the revenge plan in her mind, convinced she'd found a flaw-proof way of murdering the forty something year old, when Kai Walker made an unexpectedly early entrance, glowering at the group.
Picking up the empty black duffel bag on the metal table, before slamming it down with a much force as he could muster, Kai bellowed, "why the fuck are you assholes sitting here, doingnothing, when you're meant to, oh, I don't know! Be packing up the fucking guns? The ones you're going to shoot people with."
"On it, boss." The snarky tone in Enzo's voice didn't go unnoticed. Oh shit. Astra thought to herself the second the words left his mouth, maybe she wouldn't be the one to kill him, after all.
Kai's hands bashed against the table, Phoenix's bagel jolting off of it upon impact like it had just been possessed.
"How the fuck did you just speak to me?" Kai dared Enzo to utter another word, laughing when he shrunk his head in response — it would take a good month for him to get back the hard earned fear the was sure he'd instilled within Astra and Phoenix (they just saw him as a crazy bitch )."Thought so."
