Naz: ...Was that all?
Barker: ...Uh. -looks over at Rizz-
Rizz: -rubs a paw on back of neck in nervousness-...Yeah. Yes ma'am.
...
Naz: ...-closes eyes in a meditating calmness, taking a drag on her cigarette-
...
Naz: -sticks out the tip of her tongue, presses it to her cigarette and extinguishing with a sizzle that echoes through the silent room-
Barker: -swallows thickly-
Rizz: -nibbles inner lip nervously-
...
Naz: ...Cogs in the machine.
...
Rizz: M-ma'am?
Naz: You. Me. All of us. Twirling, spinning, busy little cogs. All cogs in the wheel. Even you two have heard the metaphor, yes? If one stops, the entire machine slows. Then fails.
Barker: Yes ma'am.
Naz: That metaphor is garbage. When a cog is insufficient, you don't stop operating. You shift to another gear.
Rizz: ...O-oh.
...
Naz: What we need is a shift, boys. Because I have two very dysfunctional cogs in my machine.
...
...
Barker: ...We're sor—**-PWIP-**
...
Barker: ...Sss...guh...
Rizz: -blinks, looks over at Barker, immediately jumping back and falling to his rear as he scramble-crawls backward in horror-
Barker: ...-one eye gives a final, empty blink as he collapses to the floor, blood and singed semisolids pouring from the gutted cavity now missing its matching eye-
Rizz: F-f-fuh...-covers muzzle to fight himself from yelping-
...
Naz: -glares at the late Barker through her single eye, before turning her grimace of disgust to Rizz as she holds a silenced Sarsilmaz handgun-
...
Naz: Limpia esto, mierda incompetente.
Rizz: ...S-sí jefa. Gracias por su misericordia. Por favor, por favor perdone mi...mi fracaso.
Naz: ...You haven't been forgiven, Rizzo. See to it that you aren't made to be forgotten.
-gets up, passes Rizzo as she walks towards the carved doors over her meeting room-
Naz: Tell the cleaners to preserve his effects. I hate wasting a good suit.
Rizz: Yes, yes boss.
