Shef & YoakeStanding in his own apartment, held by that humourless man and that giggling girl, staring down the barrel of two guns, one literal the other figurative, it was then that Hiroki Kimura realized that he had fucked up. Whatever the hell he landed himself in, it wasn't just the boss he had to worry about, there were some grade-A psychos caught up in the mix, this wasn't just another job, hell he knew that when he first started, the guy was loco, sometimes they just were. When that happens, you break it off if you can, if not, well you keep your head down and try not to die. It ain't pleasant but it works, and like it or not it's not too rare a story. But this? This was something else entirely, and if he knew then and there that if didn't move now, right now, well, the price of treachery would be the least of his concerns.
So with a shudder, he shut the fuck up and followed.
. . .The man quietens down, his struggles ceasing. Good, that's one problem outta the way. As for all the rest, well, you're just gonna have to play it by ear. Through the portal you run, the man in tow, and in the moments that follow the crossing of the threshold you hear something, something faint, something muffled.
The sound of rotary cannons cycling up.
There's a sudden screeching whirr, a distorted roar, and then the rumbling buzz. Bullets tear through the wall, sweeping from the doorway inwards. Next comes the crash. They've breached into Kimura's apartment, soon they've be crashing in here.
Your earpieces spark to life.
