The redhead’s got a point–if someone or some<span class="mu-i">thing</span> was ballsy enough to lock her in a sauna the moment you went downstairs, well… who’s to say they couldn’t come back?
Alright, you sigh, still recovering from your chance encounter, let’s head back to the <span class="mu-s">SECURITY ROOM.</span> Hank’ll probably be wondering what the holdup is…
“Best idea I’ve heard all night…” Spits Cammy as she sends another glare in Pepper’s direction. “Word to the wise, Pizza Guy: I’d drop this parasite while ya still can…”
Lovely, you huff, now can we get moving? You at least wanna fill said parasite in on what happened.
“Do tell!” Chirps Pepper with a fresh smile on her face! Well…
The trip to the <span class="mu-s">SECURITY ROOM</span> turns out to be a lot less eventful. Making sure to stay in view of the cameras along the way, you relay the info you gleaned from Cammy as succinctly as you can. By the time you’re in view of your destination (Which doesn’t take long–it’s on the same floor for chrissakes) you’ve got Pepper hanging on every word!
“This is big, sandcrab…” She mutters as you approach the closed door, “<span class="mu-i">Really</span> big.”
That’s what <span class="mu-i">she</span> sa-
The <span class="mu-s">SECURITY ROOM</span> door bursts open before you can finish your joke, causing you to nearly drop Cammy as you shriek like a little girl!
“<span class="mu-s">FINALLY!</span>” Sputters Hank with a wild look in his light-sensitive eyes, “GET IN, QUICK!”
Okay, you pant as you catch your breath, but next time he scares you like that you’re gonna pop him in the mouth!
“Likewise!” Adds Cammy with the usual gruffness!
Slipping back into the shadowy bowels of the <span class="mu-s">SECURITY ROOM,</span> you’re immediately treated to the sound of Hank sealing the door behind at <span class="mu-i">least</span> three locks and a deadbolt! What bee crawled into <span class="mu-i">HIS</span> bonnet?
“<span class="mu-i">THAT</span> one!” He hisses as he jabs a finger towards the monitors! Sure enough, standing atop the monitor bank is a particularly brazen <span class="mu-s">COCKROACH!</span>
“Whoops, sorry, didn’t mean that guy…”
Flicking the light switch and subsequently blinding <span class="mu-i">EVERYONE</span> in the room, Hank stumbles over to his command center and points at an image frozen on the screen depicting…
<span class="mu-i">Something in black.</span>
“It barely slipped by the camera, but I got it!” Exclaims the security goon as he taps the screen for emphasis! “I even heard it go by the door, too! I’ve never locked a door so quickly in my entire life!”
“Uh, okay, hold on a sec.” Interjects Cammy as you set her down into a swivel chair, “First of all, <span class="mu-i">hi</span>, Hank. Not dead, by the way.”
Roused from his horror at the mysterious black figure on the frozen camera feed, Hank immediately dissolves into a sobbing mess as he flops onto his partner with a clumsy hug!
Pepper takes a picture before you can stop her. Damn it, girl!
