<span class="mu-r">“That’s all of them. Is everyone alright?”</span> you asked.
In return, you received a collection of nods, half nods, shouted expletives, simpering and whimpering from various individuals. You took that as a good sign. None of the hostages had been grievously wounded, or even incapcitated. They would probably only require minimal first aid when the paramedics arrived.
Speaking of, it was probably your turn to dip out. You weren’t in the mood to answer questions, or to get arrested for that matter. So you turned, ran to the nearest window and dove outside without a second thought.
As you swung away from the scene, a few cops pointed up at you. A few guns did as well, but no one fired at you. It wasn’t as if they could even hit you if they did.
<span class="mu-r">“You handled yourself well there.”</span> Arachne chimed in.
<span class="mu-r">“Was there ever any doubt?”</span> you said.
<span class="mu-r">“Maybe just a little.”</span> she admitted teasingly.
<span class="mu-r">“Ouch. What’s a guy gotta do around here to get a little respect?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Honestly? Keep doing what you did tonight, and I might have to start a religion after you.”</span> Arachne said.
<span class="mu-r">“Please don’t. I’ve had enough weirdo cults in my life lately.``</span> you said with a sigh.
<span class="mu-r">“That’ll happen when you’ve got literal gods walking the earth. But then again, I feel like the faith of religious devotees wanes a bit when you have an actual God to scrutinize and criticize. When you can’t see them, they’re perfect in your eyes. You know what I mean?”</span>
Oh God. She’s babbling again.
<span class="mu-r">“But enough about that. I’ve shown you what I can do, and now I have a better idea of what I’m working with here.”</span>
You wouldn’t really consider that a good showcase of your skills and abilities, but maybe she’s more impressed by your precision and use of discretion in sensitive situations.
And as useful as she was, you still feel like there are more things to go over before you take this any further.
What will you say?
