Waterworks

>Time to egress, I guess?

Yep. Let's scram.




The journey back to the surface is rather quiet. It gives you time to reflect on the day's work.

Tubs is relatively unscathed. José's easily received the worst treatment, but there shouldn't be any permanent damage. You've all been through worse.

The three of you can definitely agree that, given the circumstances, this was one of your weirder jobs.

All in all, pretty solid results.




You're happy about the lack of an immediate police response. There was a giant explosion near an old elementary school. An elementary school, which happened to house a secret underground research facility. Maybe this wasn't something that was supposed to get out.

Maybe people are more concerned by the Eiffel Tower just winking out of existence. You'd find out later.




Scuffles with the authorities are almost always inevitable, but two of you have killed your fair share of cops - Tubs' name has grown big enough to generally make the fuzz think twice before engaging with him.





Anyway, that was definitely one of the highlights of your career. The years that followed were rather bland in comparison. Until Tubs found a classified ad posted by a certain Slick...

Christ. A lot had changed since then, but it doesn't compare to all the shit that happened after our little spiel at the Waterworks... The whole world ain't what it used to be.

Still, that was a doozy of a story. What'd you think of it, Connie?







god damn it
