Frost is the first one to sit down. The room is packed with all 14 of us. We just started lockdown 2 days ago, but I got back today. I looked for Sienna, but it seems she didn’t want to be found. And River wanted to get the meeting done. He was going to be streaming in, since he decided to do his lockdown from his house. Zero and Beggar decided the same.
Their places were under surveillance, so if something looked suspicious and we needed to hightail it to their places we could.
Zero sets up the projector and the screen splits with Zero and Beggar on one side and River on the other.
“As you all know, we are now under lockdown, doesn’t mean we should let our guard down and just lie low. We started negotiations with the Chainsaws again. The President isn’t buying into Natasha’s story, so our next plan of action would be to find out who killed the guy and hand the person over,” River says.
“Did Natasha say anything to you on the way to Liston?” Snakes asks me.
“No,” I tell him honestly. Thing is I hardly said two words to her on the way. I wasn’t the best of company. My mind was all fucked up with Sienna, and the rejection she delivered.
I knew she felt something for me, I just needed to find a way to get her to admit it.
“Alright, Storm will talk to you guys about shifts and the rest of the stuff. I need to get some things handed to National. DOES anybody else have something to add?” River asks, and I can see he is tired.
Frost stands up, she is in the middle of the room, wearing a blue jumpsuit, “I’m claiming Storm’s ass," She says.
And I take a deep breath, so I don’t pull her out of here by her ear. Everyone else just starts laughing and talking.
River looks like he is holding his own choice of words down.
"That isn’t how it works," Storm says and I take a step deeper into the shadow.
"Are you a sexist," After stands up flicking her knife.
"No," Storm says, looking at After’s knife.
“Then what’s the problem? We good to be member, why the fuck can’t we claim someone?” After stands up for Frost and I watch the men start to squirm.
Storm laughs, and wisely doesn’t look at me.
"Fine, I'll take it."
