>>5575413You wake to the cold feeling of concrete against your cheek. You try to pull yourself up, and find that you’ve been handcuffed. Your feet too. You move your head to see Simon and Jack sharing a smoke above you.
“That was one hell of a fight. Didn’t know the old man had that sorta fight in him”
“The effects of the pie, Agent Doggart. You understand now why I didn’t allow you to eat it earlier? Imagine what you with your training could have done.”
“Yeah, yeah. That black eye is enough warning for me. But how did you know even then?”
“I didn’t, but I suspected it was a product within the store. Talking with Mr Cooper about his latest stock, and the call from Isaac and Kei with the list of Mr Smith’s recent purchases was enough to confirm them. Then it was just a matter of testing them out and confirming the source, as demonstrated.”
“You think he still wants to kill himself? Are the effects permanent?”
“He’s been listening to our conversation for the past few minutes, so let’s find out, shall we?”
Agent Simon turns around and lowers himself to the ground until he’s crouching in front of you.
“Now, how are we feeling?”
>Fuck you. I don’t want to kill myself, if that’s what you’re asking. But I sure feel like fucking murdering you right now.Simon chuckles. “Well that seems like proof enough. Jack, free him.”
Jack leans down to unlock your cuffs, and stands back as you slowly get up and rub your hands and wrists. He looks like he’s still ready to jump you if you try anything. Not that you’re going to. You really do feel fine now, your anger at Simon and Jack for nearly getting you killed notwithstanding.
>So, what now?Simon takes one long puff of his cigarette, than drops it to the ground and stomps it out. “Now, we finish up around here. Isaac and Kei should be here soon. Jack, you go to Mr Cooper and order him to immediately pull those pies from sale. Here’s an FDA badge. D-8, you’re with me. You’ll be…
>Flushing out the pie seller. Bet he’s going to be surprised to see your face again.>Approaching the man in black. We need to figure out who he is and what he’s doing.>Buying every frozen pie in the store. Better get them off shelves before anyone buys any more.Also, sorry about the confusion over the dice, I should have made it clearer. You were trying to kill yourself using the three methods I mentioned, while Simon and Jack were trying to stop you for each one. In retrospect, I should have made it 2d100 Bo3 or 3d100 Bo2, to make it clearer and a little fairer for each attempt, but you’ve already passed so it’s no big deal. I’ll make sure to be clearer on what you’re rolling for in future.
