Mako's Message: So, a month or two back, I decided to put all the individual PC chapter files into one file, just for shits and giggles. I took a break at chapter 60 then stopped again at Chapter 120, at which point I realized that there was a significant event every 60th chapter. If you noticed that before and thought I did it on purpose I'm sorry to disappoint you. What this does mean, however, is that I'm going to attempt to keep this trend with the final two significant events. meaning I'm aiming to end this at Ch300. I don't know if that'll be hard to squeeze into or hard to reach, but we'll just see what happens.
In the mean time, Mindy needs to vent. Enjoy!
This has been a really bad week.
First, Dave officially moved in with Riley. I even helped him carry all his junk. The only bright side to all of that is that he didn't actually move into Riley's room. I don't know if he's just keeping his stuff in the other room or what but...he has his own room. So, that's something at least.
There's also a fire escape right outside his bedroom window. It'll make sneaking in almost too easy. I just hope I wont end up regretting it the first time I do.
Then, the same goddamn day, we get a call from John saying that Biker Knight came to him with some big news. That he found out about a drug shipment coming in, and where one of the distribution points was going to be, and he was going to need all of Justice Forever's help because of how heavy the guard on it was going to be.
I thought this was going to be fun at first, because after Biker Knight mapped out what the guy he interrogated told him about the security, I figured we'd need to be a little more creative. So I suggest Dave and I get on the roof of the building, then rappel down the side and come in through the windows. Dave was being a pussy about it, and I told him that. I mean, sure, it's the first time we've ever done something like this, but it's not like I never showed him how to use the rapid descent cables.
I suppose I could have spent a little more time on it though, expecting Dave to be able to go from lesson one to going down a building and bursting in through a window might have been a little much..
Nothing like a little dynamic entry to get a party started though, and you can never go wrong with shock-and-awe tactics.
So everything was going according to plan, Dave and I got onto the roof without any problems, the rest of Justice Forever and Biker Knight got to the door without any problems, Dave even managed to bust through the window without hurting himself(cause with him you never know), and we scared the shit out of the guys and it all would have been awesome.
Except that fucker in black was there, guarding the door to the room with the drugs. I saw him, just before we came through the window, just leaning against the wall like he was bored. But by the time we were through the window and on our feet he had his sword drawn and ready to go with the shit eating, toothy grin on his face. I went after him first, while the rest of the team took down the other guards. But I just could not get through this asshole's guard. Dave came over to help but it didn't do any fucking good. Even when Biker Knight joined the fight he managed to hold us off long enough for the guys in the drug room to take the drugs and bail.
They banged on the door and yelled, "We're clear!" and then this guy did this spin attack where he lashed out at us with his sword, it's sheath, and both legs. I wish I'd thought to cut off one of his damn legs instead of jumping back, but I didn't and I did, so the guy had some space and he just burst right through the door and leapt straight out the window.
I ran after him and saw him kneeling on the roof of a van as it drove off, waving at us.
I wanted to go after them but Dave pulled me back in the window saying they were already gone.
So, that night was just a complete failure.
So I was in bad mood the entire time I was trying to find a new place to use as a training center, since I didn't want Katie coming to our safehouse. I want to keep it a special place for me and Dave if nothing else. And I also figured I'd train Angela as well, on the condition that she didn't try to go out on the streets or put on a costume without my permission(which she's never going to get), so it wouldn't look like I was doing something special for Katie. Then I figured if I'm doing this, why not open it up to the rest of Justice Forever? It wouldn't be a REAL safe house. Not one of mine at least. But the team could use it. Ya never know when it could come in handy.
And that's just been going oh SO fucking well. Because trying to find an apartment, or studio, or just any kind of property with the kinda of space I'd need, that I could renovate the way I need to, is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS.
It's also going to put a huge dent in my nest egg, a few hundred thousand at least, but if I find the right place, and get it set up the way I want it, it'll be worth it.
But first I have to find a place first, and without Daddy to do all the talking I've had to get Dave to play the role and aside from the research part of this I'm in completely new territory. I was never in charge of making the purchases or talking to people. I'd just FIND things. Daddy took care of the rest. And I can't ask Marcus.
Maybe Uncle John could help...
Anyway, apparently I was snapping at people even more than usual and just generally being mean that Angela, Marcus, and Dave all commented on it.
At least Dave suggested we take a night off and go see a movie. With friends. He even said that specifically so I wouldn't think it was a date. Bastard ruining all my fun.
I invited Angela but she said she couldn't come because she said she had another one of her "dates" that night, but Marty and Todd came.
I decided to put on one of my nicer, sexy outfits for the occasion too. Which...didn't quite work out how I wanted.
When we got there and where waiting to get Popcorn Marty said, "Hey Mindy, it's pretty cold in here isn't it?"
And I was about to say something about stating the obvious when I realized what he was smirking at.
My nipples were poking through my top.
So I flipped him off, said, "Eyes up here, asshole, they're not for you. Dave can look all he wants though."
And Marty just laughed and said to Dave, "Damn, she really doesn't give a fuck anymore does she?"
Dave just rubbed at his eyes and said, "You really shouldn't be dressing like that Mindy. Not when we're out like this. You're gonna get the wrong kind of attention and people are going to start talking," and made sure not to look at me below eye level for the rest of the night.
So, yeah, that sucked.
THEN! We ran into Angela on her date. Who she proudly displayed for us. And I couldn't believe my fucking eyes.
It was Jessi's old douche-friend. Handsy McGrabbass.
I pulled her aside and asked her, "What the fuck are you doing with him?!"
And she said, "What does it look like? I'm getting laid! " then she looked at him like she was gonna eat him and said, "I can't wait to get him home and out of those clothes. Mm-mm." Then she stopped and said, "Actually, we'll probably have to go to his place, I'm not sure how late Mom and Dad are going to be out.
And I wanted to beat my head against a fucking pole.
So Handsy comes over and says, "Hey, Angela, our movie is about to start." and starts to walk off with Angela, then he looks back at me and says, "Oh, and uh- Nice to see you again...Mandy, right? Love the outfit."
And I pulled my cover-up shirt closed around me as I watched them walk away, with Angela's hand on HIS ass, trying to restrain myself from ripping his throat out.
So, after that I couldn't enjoy what was supposed to be a fun, relaxing, night at the movies with Dave, and friends, because now I was worried that Angela had gone from being an...empowered girl enjoying her sexuality, to just a run of the mill slut.
And, to top it all off, Marcus was happy to inform me that they caught the guy who'd been cutting out people's hearts today. He's sitting in lock-up right now. So I won't even get the pleasure of hunting him down.
The only bit of brightness to all this is that I finally found someone to make a replacement for the staff the brainwashed-and-crazy girl broke. Even improved my design a bit.
Except he said it'd cost a thousand dollars more than what I was looking to spend.
So yeah. Fuck this shit.
