"That means they're retarded! That's why I can only trust these two VERY expensive models, mind you, to do their job. I'm not going to let my trust be betrayed by another person again!"
"D-do you have actually have anyone who cares about YOU, Katherine? Anyone you haven't burnt bridges with? I-Is this just projection?"
The room goes deathly quiet after he said that. No one is willing to move or say a single word now. Despite the fate that Otto is on his knees, mere moments away from bleeding out if another attack from Katherine hits him, she doesn't make a move.
"Y-you! You think you're better than me! Y-you think you'll achieve anything by doing this high and mighty shit?" Katherine is fucking fuming now but that's all she does. Her boneless arm hangs loosely by her side as she seethes impotently. "What do you think you're achieving?"
"What...are you achieving by not killing me? That's what this is all about, huh?"
Katherine doesn't respond at first but for the briefest of moments, you see a flicker of something in his eyes. <<span class="mu-b">"You still got your other arm. And you got your guards. Why AREN'T you moving?"</span>> <<span class="mu-b">"No, no, don't let your heart beat like that, don't you DARE!"</span>>
"C'mon. You have a clean shot. Do it."
Katherine still doesn't move.
"It's...it's beneath me." Katherine immediately throws the suitcase down onto the floor with sheer disgust plastered on her face. "I don't even want this stupid briefcase anymore. T-this isn't fun anymore. I already read through all of it anyways."
Otto can only smile upon seeing the goal in front of him. He says something that you didn't quite expect him to say. Neither does anyone else, especially Katherine. "That's fine, dear. I know you won't do anything."
"Love you too, dear. See you later." That's the last thing he says before he collapses onto the floor.
Katherine immediately scrambles to get the hell out of here, same with her guards. For the briefest of seconds, you know you could activate your WATERLOGGED POCKETWATCH and use your time to blow a dozen holes in the back of her skull. You could kill her still.
But all you worry about now is getting your boss out of here. Frank immediately secures the briefcase before the rest of your party scrambles to get the explosives AND Otto out of here. It takes no longer than two minutes for the seven of you to be running out of the steak house's back entrance, Katherine and her goons are gone.
Even the rich patrons are gone. Some of them can be seen running after Katherine in a desperate attempt for amusement but most of them are just...gone. The steak house is completely and utterly abandoned. The setting sun is casting the empty streets in a bright orange haze. There's nothing left here for anyone.
The only people you can see or detect is your own group. You won.
