It was a bustling day in inkopolis, young squid kids were going to shops and doing turf was all preparation for tonight,today was the splatfest, and everyone was excited for the squid sisters live performance.
All of them except for one,Hunter was older then most of the squid kids, at 17 years old and 6'1 he towered over most inkling something was different about hunter, hunter didn't like the squid sisters, he despised the music, the songs, the looks, all of it.
Hunter was sitting on his couch watching Squid lord: the legend of squiddy in his apartment when his squid phone rang, he picked it up and put it to his ear "hello?" hunter asked "i have a contract, meet me outside of the performance center at 7:00" the voice on the other end told him before hanging up.
Hunter knew what this was about, he had gotten several phone calls about this before. Hunter grabbed his hoodie and keys and set out towards the performance center.
The splatfest was in full swing, Callie and Marie were singing there hearts out on the stage. inklings were partying hard, all except for hunter who was outside the stage talking to the planner
"so which one do i hit?" hunter asked "either one is fine but try to get both, losing a close family member is hard" the planner told hunter "i have an inside man who will get you to the right floor for the best view on them, and remember for the sake of tomorrow, do your part" the planner told him handing him a suit case with a logo that looked like a squid with multiple guns around it as hunter went into the building to look for the inside man.
"This splatfest is amazing!" Kolya told Alfie, struggling to tell him over the music. Kolya was a 15 year old Russian inkling who knew how to speak English quite well for a Russian. "I know right!" Alfie told Kolya, as well yelling to have Kolya even faintly hear him.
The two special effects guys were watching over the stage getting ready to do the special effects signalling for Callie to go into the solo. "our manager told us to press the right button in one minute" Gabriel told Bonny, Gabriel was a 19 year old goth inkling who liked to be called samhainfang(HHey-n).
Hunter opened the briefcase, revealing a taken apart sniper rifle. Gabriel pressed the button on the right having smoke come up on the right side of the stage signaling for Callie to begin her solo, but when it started the only sound you could hear was a rifle fire.
When the original bullet fired the whole crowd started screaming in shock and terror(no birdemic reference).Marie ran backstage in case another bullet the inklings that weren't in the first second or third row or on the dance floor didn't see where the shot landed, and were rushing to see what had happened while others were running out of the auditorium.
Hunter put down the rifle and started to walk out of the auditorium as inklings rushed by him in a mad dash for whatever they were looking for. Hunter saw a doctor followed by some security guards running by with Callie on a stretcher, Knowing that hunter had done the job he walked out of the auditorium into the dimly lit streets, where reporters and bloggers were rushing in to see what had happened.
Scottie was in his apartment making a sandwich in front of the TV when the Breaking News! icon appeared on screen,Scottie looked up from his sandwich expecting to see Callie and Marie but he only saw some reporter for the news station "There has been a sniper at the splatfest who landed a direct shot on Callie's abdomen, with this happening and the threat of it not happening once we have delayed the splatfest and backstage tickets for the show have been refunded. More updates on this will be posted on our website and on the news when more info comes in. I'm Byron Raymond for inkopolis news."
