AREA: AKIBARA RUIN
"The supply you have is useful," Ken exhales through his nose.
"There are a lot of casualties. It's the RED ZONE. The medics aren't enough, plus the stuff you have can actually be of help," Ken says with a hint of seriousness.
Raikun sighs, his cold eyes darkening.
"And what do I get? This piece of shit?" He grips the gun harder.
Ken laughs. "Piece of shit?"
The lights flicker in the distance, the damp air clinging to the skin.
"Yeah. I can get my hands on these anytime. I want a real deal," Raikun says as he rotates the gun, then looks at Ken with a slight smile.
Ken's body stiffens, and with annoyance, he replies, "Real deal? Like what?"
Raikun speaks calmly.
"Drug supply has been low. I heard there's a weed patch near Akibara. I want access. Simple as that."
I need access. Plus, I can get more money.
Ken's eyes harden.
"You realize it's guarded?"
Raikun snickers.
"Yeah, I do. The BCC badge still choking you?"
Ken grabs Raikun's collar.
"Don't fuck with me—"
Raikun smirks.
"I'm the only one who can do this, Ken."
The air is filled with tension as the silence stretches.
Ken grits his teeth as he lets go of his collar and speaks hesitantly.
"Fine. I'll give you the card that can bypass the Neuro Gates."
Ken looks away.
"Thanks for the gun, though. Three days, same place." Raikun says coldly.
Raikun walks off into the distance, leaving Ken speechless.
"Hey, we still haven't finished—"
Ken's voice gets cut off by the loud siren in the distance.
"FUCK, another raid. I'll just deal with this moron later," Ken says, running toward his designated area.
Raikun keeps walking as the guards rush past in the background, the sound of gunshots and screams mixing with the sound of tearing flesh, occupying the cold night that was once silent.
"Guess they'll be busy… I can go safely."
Raikun walks faster, disappearing into the dark.
