Sundeen

Chapter 42 - September 3 (Part 2)

10:11 AM - 7 hours and 49 minutes until the Sundeen Fest.

A patrol car was roaming the streets. The officers in it were Lillias and someone else.

OFFICER: This may be a weird topic, but have you seen weird behavor from Mayor Bristol?

LILLIAS: ... no comment.

OFFICER: I'm sorry, it's just- it might be me. You know, J-just trying to have some... talk.

Lillias looked at him. The officer got sexually aroused.

OFFICER: I'm sorry, but, should I call you 'Captain' or 'Vice Captain'?

LILLIAS: We don't have a captain.

OFFICER: Oh, yeah.... Say, maybe like, today, do you wanna like, hangout later or som-

Suddenly, from the corner of Lillias' eye. She saw a two cloaked people ran up to the car and jumped on it. They pulled out bats and shattered the windows. The officer got hit by the glass Lillias dodged the shatter and got out the car immediately.

Lillias fell down and got up. Someone ran up to her. Lillias pulled out her pistol and shot him. Peter ran from behind her and jumped on her. Lillias was on the ground.

PETER: You're Lillias. I've heard of you. You're the Vice Captain of the Sundeen Forces. You served under Chief's brother Yoshi Masami. He respected you. In that case, I'll let you li-

Lillias didn't pay attention to what Peter said. She slammed Peter's neck with her baton. Peter fell to the ground.

PETER: I said I'll let you live!

Meanwhile, the soldiers had already made it to the town center. They bursted the door and raided it. But cops were ready. The all fought inside the Town Center. There was yelling, shooting, running throughout all the halls. The mayor dipped out of a secret exit which no one knew about.

SOLDIERS: Where is the Mayor!! Kill the Mayor!!

Murphy ran outside, luckily for him, no one saw. He hid behind some cars, there was a man right next to him. It was Harrison Henderson, Holly's dad.

HARRISON: Sup Murphy.

MURPHY: You're supposed to call me Mayor.

HARRISON: Yeah but, we're killing partners. Aren't we?

MURPHY: Brat.

HARRISON: I heard Riley got exposed the other day. He isn't safe anymore.

MURPHY: Do you not hear yelling? No one is safe!

From the end of the road. They saw three cloaked soldiers running towards them.

MURPHY: It's them! Hide me!

HARRISON: You're acting like a coward right now.

MURPHY: You're right!

Murphy and Harrison ran to the other side of the car. The soldiers ran past them.

MURPHY: I just realized. I have a rifle in my room in the Town Center.

HARRISON: Then go get it.

After some cowarding, Murphy finally ran back in the Town Center. When he opened the door, he saw unconscious bodies on the floor. Both police, and soldiers. It took a minute to get to the room. Murphy opened his cabinet. His rifle was there. Murphy grabbed it and ran. From the end of the hall. Murphy took a glance and saw someone and thought it saw Kishi.

Out of panic, Murphy shot them. But they dodged. Murphy looked to see who it was. It was Jasper. He was holding a Colt M-4 .223 caliber in his right hand, and a Colt M-16 5.56 mm in his left hand.

JASPER: Heheh, hello Mayor. Wanna join forces?

MURPHY: Who are you?

JASPER: A year ago, I was shoved into a locker by a bully and was locked it in for an entire night. I was declared missing for 18 hours. I shot the bully and his family a few days later at around midnight. Mayor Bristol, I came from the Outside World. I know what it's like out there. Join me, and we can take this place back.
