We Meet Again

Nineteen

(Vic)

I'm hearing tons of commotion going on in the event hall to the point of it not making any sense. Ric said that an agent was down, I hear BB shot his rifle, so I knew he just killed somebody, and people are running out the building like ants scattering from being stepped on!

This is pandemonium to say the least, and that message from Slade was just.. unnerving! There are high-level Scathe members in there, or running out like with the rest of the event patriots, blending in like regular citizens, which is way screwed up!

I don't know, but what I do know that it's going to be a long night. My cell rung, and I picked up to a very nervous, very out of breath BB.

"Hey BB what's going on. Man you should see this shit man." I said but he cut me off, and got straight to the point.

"Dude I need you to go to the south end of the roof top now! I can't get there quick enough." He panted, sounding like he was running downstairs.

"What why... I."

"Just do it! Please... oh and take your large duffel bag. I'm on my way. Don't let anyone know what you are doing. Just wait for me." He sounded like he was getting into his car.

"BB, what am I supposed to be..." He cut me off again.

"VICTOR STONE!! Just please do it dude!" And he hung up.

Who does he think he is to boss me around? Little shit!

But, I did as he asked and went into the building through the service entrance around back. I took the elevator as far as it would take me, then the stairs to access the roof the rest of the way.

When I got up there, I saw other agents and local officers combing the north end of the roof searching for suspects... I presume, so of course I went the opposite direction heading south. I walked slowly and scanned whatever the hell I'm supposed to be looking for, then I saw a body.

Looks to be a female by how petite and curvy her frame is. Awe man, I really don't want to see the damage BB's bullet did to this girl's face...

I walked closer to her, bent over to remove her hair from her face, and nearly fell over backwards.

"Raven!"

I said quietly in a panic.

Did BB kill her? Awe man this is wild.

What does he want me to do with her? I had a million questions running through my mind. I bent down to check her vitals and she was...

Still... ALIVE!

Man nothing or no one has ever survived a hit from BB sharp shooting. He must have used non-lethal on her because I knew for a fact if he used the real thing... Raven would've had a hole in her as big as my head. Within 10 minutes, BB was coming over to me... and so were a couple agents...

Shit!

I motioned him to walk a little faster and pointed to the other direction. He saw the other agents too, then almost speed walked over to me.

I said out the side of my mouth and headed over to the agents to stall for time, leaving the duffel by Raven, almost shielding her from being seen.

'Man, I don't feel like this crap today!'

... Ugh ...
