>>5709803Gathering up the others with Pepper’s help, you stuff your loot inside your pockets before turning towards your partner. So, you sigh, what shall we do with <span class="mu-i">this</span> guy?
“He’s a loose end, sandcrab,” the reporter replies with a frown, “I don’t <span class="mu-i">like</span> loose ends…”
Neither do you, you groan, but it’s not like you wanna <span class="mu-i">kill</span> the guy-
Turning to face Rodney again, your heart skips a beat as you find his place beneath the tree vacant! What the-
“Hey <span class="mu-s">DEE!</span>” Croons the blonde-haired buffoon in a much more chipper tone, “I got <span class="mu-i">ANOTHER</span> <span class="mu-s">COMBAT TIP</span> for ya!”
Following his ear-splittingly-annoying voice, you spot the loser already deeper in the forest! Though his legs are still shaky, he wastes no time reaching into his tattered jacket’s pocket!
“There ain’t no tap-outs or bells in the real world, Dee!” He shouts with a haughty laugh! “You may have whooped my butt, but I’ll be back, you’ll see!”
Before you can chuck a hefty <span class="mu-s">PINECONE</span> at his fat head, Rodney hurls a ball of <span class="mu-s">FLOUR</span> at the ground like a smoke bomb!
… but when the grains clear, you spot him trying and failing to somersault away into the woods!
“<span class="mu-i">I’ll…</span>” He grunts as you and Pepper share a look, “<span class="mu-i">This… nrgk… this ain’t over!</span>”
Yea it <span class="mu-i">is</span>, you growl! Stay the hell away from us, Rodney-I <span class="mu-s">MEAN</span> it!
“<span class="mu-i">Nrrfff..</span>” Rodney replies as his jacket gets stuck on a fern, “<span class="mu-i">NEVERRRR!</span>”
God<span class="mu-i">DAMN</span> it… you’re just about to jog over and kick his ass for good when he hits a slope and rolls into the mist with a triumphant laugh! Staring in the direction he went for a moment, you find Pepper staring up at you with a mixture of impatience and awe in her blue eyes.
“Not bad, chief!” She reports as you raise an eyebrow her way, “Didn’t know you could scrap like that.”
You can, you sigh as you adjust your hair, when you aren’t taken off-guard by wannabe Rent-A-Cops…
“Glad I backed the right horse, then!” Smiles the reporter as she gives your shoulder a playful shove! “Ready to get outta here?”
<span class="mu-i">Are</span> you? What do?
