Red Fish, Blue Fish

[Victoria]

I slide Sakari's pants off...but sense something coming near.

I roll off my bed and grab my purse. I pull out my Baretta 9mm.

"Take cover."

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"No, it's nothing." I say. Clearly this boy is more than meets the eye, and I want to discover just what it is that I sense.

[Zinn]

Zinn nodded in agreement.

"Of course," Zinn says somewhat uncomfortably. She thinks Antero is implying something. She knows she hasn't been treating Antero very well. However, she rationalizes it because he scares her. She has the impression that he would want to do to her what he did to the leader of the FRA, if he had the chance.

[Mitroshka von Nadyezhda]

"All right. By the way, something strange has been happening. Sometimes the lights will dim or brighten around me, and things keep falling off their shelves or shattering for no reason. Do you know what that is?"

["Zero" Americanski]

It is strange how someone can feel so lose and yet so distant, yet this is what I feel from Bassarov right now. However as usual I find comfort in his sleeping embrace. Soon I too am asleep.

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"Electromagnetic induction. Many things can cause it though, so no." I state.

[Dr. Andrea Murdock]

"Victoria? Hmm... let me look up her file..." Dr. Murdock says. She walks over to a filing cabinet, unlocks it, and begins flipping through files on Red Infinity members. It is a magic filing cabinet. Only she and Lin-Sat are able to access the contents, and Lin-Sat could care less about the contents.

[Ahriman]

I finally found her. I raise my handgun, and blow the handle off of the door, it swings open instantaneously.

"Hello Victoria." I say smiling. I see that she is with some other anarchist who looks as though he's in a state of shock.

"I hope I'm interrupting something."

I smile, and fire a single shot at both of them.

[Antero Black]

"After the anarchist revolution most crime would cease to exist. Most crime is crime against property or the expression of the frustration of the unempowered. When people are equal and private ownership has been abolished, crime will no longer exist. As for the crimes by the mentally ill, those will decline as the mentally ill recieve better treatment from the community."

Antero pauses.

"He talked about this town in Belgium that used to accept the mentally ill from other cities. They would adopt mentally ill people into their families, and by giving them purpose and community they were able to enhance their lives and remedy some of their mental torments..."

[Sakari Lehtinen]

The bullet easily pierces Sakari's shoulder, near his chest. The force of the blast alone enough to push him onto the floor.

Since I already lost some blood, it doesn't take me long to lose consciousness.

[Victoria]

"Bastard."

I turn into mist and rematerialize right behind him. I fire three shots at this half vampire. Needless to say I am very pissed off.

[Valkoinen Joki]

I open my eyes and smile slightly, glad to see that sayuka was still here with me, I put my arm around her again and close my eyes, wanting to remember this.

[Sayuka]

I haven't slept like this in ages. I forget where I am and pull the blanket over myself. I cuddle with on of the pillows and drift back to sleep.

[Ahriman]

At point blank range, I have little room to maneuver, so I simply accept the shots. My body is pushed forward, as though it were being pulled by the three strings of blood from their respective holes. It hurts, but doesn't do significant damage.

I turn around, raise my gun to her chest, and begin to enchant the bullet.

"I'm glad I didn't come a minute later. It would have been so boring to have killed you while you were in bed with an anarchist."

I squeeze the trigger.

[Lady Blue]

I weep quietly, feeling both relieved and horrible at the same time. I begin to contemplate what I am supposed to tell my father...
