Captured in Battery City

2) About that Bullet - feat. The Killjoys

2) about that bullet - feat. The Killjoys

Party Pov

Kobra’s leg is fine. Dr. D says so when we get back to the cafe. He takes the tiny thing out and we look at it. Bullet.

Ray scratches his head and frowns.

“They weren't aiming to kill him instantly.” he takes the bullet and looks at it. “It's full of poison, meant to spread around the victim's body. It was meant to kill him after a bit, when it opened from the movement. Kobra was lucky that his didn't open for some reason.”

We all look around. Carefully. Dr. D takes a deep breath and turns to Show Pony.“Call station zero. They need to know the dracs are using poisoned bullets.”

Pony nods and heads out.

The radio. Someone has taken over Dr. D’s signal. An announcement. Korse’s voice.

Whoever gets me to Battery city alive gets a lifetime supply of food and exonerated for all crimes.

The announcement ends and i take a seat. Ghoul holds me.

“Now it's even more important that we keep Party safe.” he tells the others. “We don't know what Korse wants him for, but he's desperate.”

Desperate.

I force myself to remember.
My time at the training facility. Back when my hair was black and my eyes were sunken. Korse… liked me best. Out of all the recruits. And anyone could tell you that. He was always seen with his hand on my shoulder and handing me extra food after lunchtime was over.

I was his favorite toy and he would play with me whenever he had the chance. Taking me out to raids and such. To me, he was kind; in a way, even like a father. But that only lasted a bit. And then, something changed.

He became angry when he found out about Ghoul and i. We began dating in the facility. We met there and made love for the first time there.

Korse removed me from my room soon after. He was planning to ship me off. Far away from anything that could “ruin me”. Far away from the love of my life.

That night, we escaped.

Ghoul, my brother, another guy named Ray and I.

We ran away into the desert before i could find out what Korse had in store for me.
For all of us.

I snap back into attention when Jet comes in with some power pup. Groaning, i take a can and force it down. Ghoul eats his daintily on my lap.

Kobra wakes up around the evening and we share talks. There needs to be another raid if we hope to survive.

Jet and I head out in the night to scout for a new place to sack. Its getting hotter and hotter out here in the desert. While we ride, we listen to the transmission. Dr. D was addressing the other killjoys in the desert. Begging them not to do anything rash. Korse was known for not keeping his word. And this time, nothing was different. If they turned me in, it could result in the death of us all. I listened quietly for a few minutes before turning the radio off.

“Someone is going to turn me in.” I tell Jet. I sigh. “He's tempting them. And, eventually, someone is going to take the bait. He… He's offering the world.”

I push my hair out of my face and Jet tightens his grip on the steering wheel.

“ Lets not talk about that right now, Party. The most important thing right now is to keep you safe while the lie exposes itself. It won't take them long to expose Korse as a fraud.”

I nod slowly. He's probably right. But that doesn't keep me from being anxious about the whole ordeal. What would he do to the rest of the killjoys if he got his hands on me? He must think i'm something special since he never stopped looking for me.

“What could he possibly want?”

I see Jet thinking for a moment. Then, he smiles a shit-eating smile.

“Maybe he likes ya. Maybe Korse has a teenage crush on you and that's why he hasn't stopped looking for you, Party. Korse looooooves you!”

Admittedly, he makes me laugh and this keeps my mind off the topic for a bit. We find a deposit and mark its spot on the map. Then, we head on home, the bullet completely forgotten.
