KILL PHIL
A rip-roaring tale of blood, death and fanfiction.

Chapter fourteen:
"Sofie's Trip To The Hospital"

Tcutla and Beloved Fool both lay still next to each other. There was a large puddle of blood underneath both, and it was impossible to tell which had been doing most of the bleeding.

Eventually, after a period of rest, Tcutla got up and prodded Helen. She sharply nudged the girl's head with her foot. It rolled along the garden.

Tcutla sighed, and left Beloved Fool's headless body lying in the garden of blood and snow.

Tcutla was back. She was outside, on a steep hill on the Tokyo outskirts. She was stood in front of a car she'd stolen outside of Azure Flora. The boot was open.

"You should know that I've kept you alive for one reason, and one reason only. Information."

Tcutla spoke through a faceless and sinister motorcycle helmet. It had an evil, dehumanising effect.

"Being stuck at Helen's right hand side, I take it you're familiar with… Phil?"

Frightened beyond belief, and barely conscious due to massive blood loss, Sofie nodded.

"Yes," she said meekly.

"In fact, I'd guess you worked for Phil before Helen, and that's how it is you came to work for Helen. Am I correct?"

"Yes,"

"I thought so. Give me the arm you have left."

"Why?"

"Because I want information," said Tcutla testily. "Now gimmie your arm!"

Tcutla violently grabbed Sofie, who screamed loudly.

But no-one heard her.

"Okay, now I want all the
information on the Fatal
Cobras... What they've been doing
and where I can find them."

After getting all the information she could from Sofie, Tcutla pulled her out the car boot and callously heaved the girl down the slope. Sofie crashed, banged and rolled down right next to the Tokyo hospital.

When they found her, she was barely alive.
