I stood with a squeak, Alvaro smiling and nudging me on.
"Uh…I'm Bridge…" I started, stepping over the counter. "Um…did you just break the glass?"
I stood with a squeak, Alvaro smiling and nudging me on.
"Uh…I'm Bridge…" I started, stepping over the counter. "Um…did you just break the glass?"
"Yes, I did," I said, without looking at him. "I don't have the key to the case, and picking locks takes time." I turned, flashing him a smirk. "Kai."
"That's a…uh…cool name." I stepped fully into view, dingy apartment jeans and hoodie in full view. "I always thought Bridge was a weird name. Do you think it's weird?"
I hummed a bit, leaping down from the boat with the grace of a dancer, I landed without a sound, climbing into the tunnel I had dug out. I had a few missions from some people that wanted others gone, so… Easy stuff.
I shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. I mean, I know someone whose name is Sherlock, so…" I shoved a knife into the bag I had brought with me.
“Oh. Okay.” I slowly walked up to her. “Are you sure you’re not going to kill me?”
I shrugged. "We'll see how much you annoy me." I shot him a grin. "So, why here of all places?"
“Well, I hang out here a lot, and there’s a butch Latino here as well. So I came here.” I shrugged, “He’s one of the only people that doesn’t judge me for the whole…defect thing.” I gestured to my hair and arms.
"I think it looks kinda cool," I said. "I mean, at least you know what color your hair is." I pointed to my head. "Mine can't decide what color to be. Strawberry blonde, dirty blonde, white blonde, green."
“Thanks.” I smiled weakly. “Do you want some candy?”
I laughed. "Okay," I moved over to him.
I grabbed a Twix, opened it, and handed it to her, brushing her hand slightly. “We’re in a 7-11 on purge day, help yourself.”
I jumped slightly but excepted it. "Okay." I went to grab some more, but tripped over my own feet.
“Are you okay?” I reached out my hand and helped her up.
I grinned sheepishly at him. "I'm fine. I just can't stand on straight surfaces for long. I have the unique ability to trip on a perfectly smooth surface."
I grinned back. “Are you good at parkour, then?”
I laughed. "Absolutely."
I walked into a 7-11 to see two other people in there. I didn’t immediately attack them but was hesitant. The pistol I had was nearly out of ammo and I needed company. I sighed, walking to them.
I jerked my head towards the new person. My eyes narrowed, and I unconsciously stepped in front of Bridge. I gripped my knife harder.
I turned sharply to another person walking towards us, holding a gun.
“Pleasedontkillusimadefectseemyhairandarmsandshehasknives,” I squeaked.
I grabbed Kai’s arm and shook it lightly. “I’m, uh, a little nervous.”
I raised both of my hands.
“I am armed but I come in peace” I said to the person in front of me who was holding onto a knife.
I didn’t let go of Kai’s arm. “Hm. Welcome to the 7-11 and please don’t murder us.”
I raised an eyebrow. "Mmhmm." I grinned. "Well, welcome to 7-11." I flicked the blade shut and stuffed a few more in my bag before putting that one in my pocket. I flashed Bridge a smile. "You okay?"
“Murder someone? I just got followed by three maniacs and had to kill them on the street…” I said to them, uncertain that they will trust me or not.
