La Escorpia Lives
There's a time and place for everything…and everyone
Chapter Two: New job, New assignment
Tori awoke in the hospital to meet a very familiar face—her boss, also known as her father.
"Oh, Tori! Sweetie you're all right!" He exclaimed.
"Yes, father, I am," She replied slowly and yet, effortlessly.
"You have been in a coma for the past two hours! If Stevens didn't go in to see and check up on you, you could have died of blood loss!"
"I was…bleeding?"
"Yes, from your face! You had scratch marks on your face and poison in your right hand,"
"Ouch,"
"Ouch indeed, but are you okay?"
"Yes father,"
"Good," He gave her a small hug.
"Ow, ow…" She moaned.
"Sorry,"
The nurse came in and told Tori's father to leave. The nurse gave Tori her medicine and spread ointment onto her face and scratches. Tori winced much, but she was feeling better. But she knew something bad was going to happen because of what she had unleashed…she had a feeling…
~~ A couple of months later ~~
"Miss Tori Blare!" A woman with brown hair and black eyes walked over to Tori, who was much better, and sitting at a desk in an office overlooking a city. The woman threw down a red manila folder with pictures that were badly developed spilling out.
"Oh no…it happened again…Boss McKare, I'm so—" Tori started.
"No, no, no, Tori! This is the last straw! No more chances!"
"Please, don't fire me!"
Then one of the employees turned on the News Channel on the big TV screen.
"In News Today, one carnivorous chick is on the loose! 136 deaths and 40 injuries, this woman is worse than an army of 1000 men! It is said that she beats the people down, robs them blind, and most of the time finishes them off. Other times she seduces men into coming with her so she can kill them—the men found were bloodless and dehydrated. There's a warrant and reward on the woman who claims to be 'La Escorpia' or 'Scorpion' sources say. Be on the look out and if anything call 555-NEWS if you see any sign of this mysterious woman,"
Tori saw the Boss-Boss of hers watch the news with great interest, "I-I can take that job Ms. McKare,"
"You?" She seemed to give a slight laugh, "You, of all people, to get pictures for such a great story like that? Don't make me laugh!" She called to the man across the room, "Bring me Chessen!"
"Please! Give me this last chance!"
"All right. I'll be lenient. You can take this case, but if I don't get back decent pictures, you are fired for good,"
Tori reluctantly nodded and took a job file folder and labeled it "Scorpion Case", and took the already done file folder from Ms. McKare, who stormed off muttering that she was too nice. Some people have claimed to have taken pictures, but what they really took were blurs of colours. When she took the huge packet of the "La Escorpia" file, black unnamed videotape fell out the side.
