Should I have demanded something in exchange?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, I suppose this falls under that protection you promised.
“Stay here. I’ll be right back,” I said.
And then Skitter somersaulted through a window, and came back through the same window ten seconds later, carrying the redhead’s brother.
I turned and walked to the front of the truck, knocked, and the driver popped the door open for me.
I spoke in a low voice, “We’re done here. Tell Coil I need more supplies. Seven cases at a minimum, by the end of the day. And tell him I think you guys did a good job, so if he’s up to giving you any kind of bonus, it would be a good time.”
Nice. 🙂
He gave me a tight nod, then closed the door. The truck drove off, leaving me with the girl. I approached her, and I could see the effect I was having on her.
Hopefully it’s a positive one.
She was unwilling to meet my eyes, and her fidgeting stilled as I turned my full attention to her.
But yeah, Skitter is still a villain. If she’s going to do this, she’ll have to get used to people being intimidated by her even as she’s helping them.
