On the Street, With the Wounded Operator
Especially that silly one—her eyes locked onto the blind man who had tripped after being shoved.
Girl… that man can't see you. And maybe worry about our situation first?
The operator nearly screamed in frustration at her hopeless partner.
Then there was the other one, sprawled out like she'd just been dumped by her high school sweetheart, basking in everyone's pity.
Could you stop pretending to be roadkill just to get pampered?
She didn't want to suffer alone. Once the nurse and doctor started properly checking wounds, they'd be so close to getting exposed.
Sure, she could always leverage Spirit Fox's power—and Athena's reach—to silence every single mouth involved. But you could never really silence sympathy once it had spoken.
Fortunately, her teammates knew how to respond fast. Athena had already pinged in, and the sirens she heard were Spirit Fox's—closer than she expected. A few local law enforcement units were tagging along, too.
