UnOrdinary: Avarice

Chapter Four: A Lie of Omission (ii)

"Simple, Strip down right now." I said out of nowhere.

"......"

".........what?" Currently, Rei LOOKED like the word confusion.

I proceeded to lift my right hand above my head and a fraction of a second later secured her heel.

I turned around, grabbed her phone, and ended the call with emergency services. This was so they wouldn't know of what was about to occur. I should have done this earlier, but I failed to remember that she was currently on a call with them. Luckily, she didn't put it on speaker, so the microphone shouldn't have increased its ability to pick up sound. How lucky can one guy be? First, I get two abilities (with the drawback of overusing it and dealing permanent damage), now, I won't be going back due to my present lapse in judgement.

Man, she looked like she was going to kill me. She was currently more of a threat to me than that lady who attacked me.

The dinosaur was about to screech again but I spoke up to eat what needed to be said out first.

Elian: "They would think you're a hero because of your very stupid costume you have on currently, correct? What happens if you don't have the costume on? You would have some lies you would have to tell when being questioned, but that can be covered up relatively well as long as you give the right details. If they ever notice a discrepancy in your statement, you can always say that you must have still been recovering from the shock of the situation, which is a mere band-aid, but should buy you time to fix your situation by yourself. Say you were wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap so your face is covered in any cameras they look for in case they try to verify your story with evidence. Try to tell the least lies as possible though, like state the truth about what happened after we arrived aside from what's currently happening. Try not to give details about times and locations if possible. With those pieces of information, it would be easy to try to find proof that you lied as long as they find evidence you weren't at an area at the time you gave- "

Rei: "Wait this is a lot of- "

Elian: "We do not have time, just do what I said and strip naked."

Rei was hesitating about doing everything I commanded.

Rei: ".... No. If I do this, then you guys are involved in my crime. I can't do that; I will not involve you two and risk putting you guys in jail as well- "

I immediately elbow his jaw, rendering him unconscious. By observing the blood flow inside his body, I determined he only suffered a concussion due to my attack.

Gia at this point is just in shock and can't move right now. All of this seemed extremely stressful and traumatic for her. She started tearing up again.

I hastily proceed to rip his tattered clothes off his battered body. Rei was now almost completely naked. I left his underwear on as there was no reason to take them away. He wore white briefs.

Pathetic.

I now truly questioned if I should help him.

I needed to be rid of them immediately, and I couldn't stash them on me as they would be too thick to store, and I couldn't change as I probably had less than two minutes till emergency services arrived. I needed to hide them.

Eyeing a dumpster near the end of the alley, I ran towards it and jumped in. At least two dozen flies ran away from me. I pushed the black bags out of the way and opened the last one I saw. I carefully stuffed them inside and then retied the bag and hopped out.

After I did this, I gained a new friend who stuck by my side. A single fly. He shall now be my new companion on my lifelong journey. I shall name him Walker. Me and Walker shall go on grand voyages, sailing the seven seas, conquering land, reaping booty, while getting booty. We shall do this all together, as friends, comrades, no, brothers.
