Relief washes over you as you watch Pepper give the terminal a few kicks–all that’s happened between you aside, you’d be lying if you said you weren’t a little concerned by all the blood you saw earlier!
Spotting Raj about to say hi, though, you swiftly shove him as well as yourself behind the safety of a nearby water tank in case you spook her–you don’t know how many shells she’s got left in that gun, but you’d rather not catch one in your gut!
Safety more or less secured, you quietly clear your throat before addressing your old partner in crime! Pepper, you begin, glad you’re okay!
The girl spins around almost immediately with a panicked look on her bloodied face and a pale hand white-knuckling the <span class="mu-s">SAWN-OFF SHOTGUN</span> in your direction! Trembling like a scared puppy, the girl’s expression only becomes more grave when she sees you peeking out from behind the pipe.
“...Diesel?”
Yep, you reply with a somewhat-forced laugh, Raj is here too…
The skater’s smile and wave does little to calm the redhead. Crossing her legs when she realizes the angle you’re at, Pepper takes a few steps further back on the catwalk as she keeps the gun pointed your way!
She can put that down now, you add as the tension between you becomes thick enough to cut with a knife, you’re pretty sure she got ‘em all…
Your words bounce off her scared face. Hazarding a step out from behind your cover, you quickly reconsider when she clicks the hammer back on one of the shotgun barrels!
“Diesel,” she repeats in a stern voice just above a whisper, “Stay the <span class="mu-i">hell</span> away from me… don’t come any closer!”
Doubt starts to spread through your mind as the girl frantically scans the catwalk for a way out. This is hardly the reunion you expected…
What do?
>DISTRACT HER AND TRY TO GET THE GUN!
>ASK WHAT SHE’S DOING HERE!
>LEAVE. SHE WANTS YOU GONE? YOU’RE GONE–GOOD LUCK!
>INQUIRE IF THIS IS ABOUT THE MINA THING!
>GET RAJ TO MEDIATE HERE!
>WRITE-IN!
