The first thing that came to Faye’s mind when she regained consciousness is that she could tell it wasn’t the usual suspect by how heavy the drug made her head feel. That she was getting drugged and tied up often enough that she could discern her kidnappers by their preferred knock-out methods was definitely a problem. And a bigger problem was when she recognised the figure standing smugly in front of her working desk at the Azure Tribune news offices: the corrupt lawyer Vivian Frost, infamously working for the Fangs Of Midas gang.
“Relax, little snoop.” The villainous coyote mocked her. “This is not an attempt on your life.” She briefly paused and rolled her eyes. “Clearly you have that catburglar looking out for you if last time was any indication…” “But no, I’m just here to make sure the, let’s say, evidence you have been collecting is correctly added to the record...” The conniving canine grinned and stepped aside, revealing Faye’s laptop with a concerning message on it.
WIPING CLOUD DRIVE… 65% DONE
Faye’s eyed widened, and she cursed out Vivian something fierce. Which would’ve been more effective if she didn’t have a large scarf packed into her mouth, or another cloth tightly bound over her snout. “Ah, ah, ah~” Vivian said in a mocking tone. “Save those naughty words for your boss tomorrow, when you have to explain why you still have nothing to show for your investigation~” A sadistic grin formed on the amoral attorney’s lips. “I’ve been tinkering with one of those AI programs, you see. It’s amazing how well you can forge security camera footage these days. All footage from tonight will be about you playing perverse games with yourself instead of working… with me nowhere to be seen~”
The clicking of heels cut through the air while miss Frost made her exit, ignoring the muffled protests behind her. “Ta-ta for now, Faye, I’ll be off delivering my client the good news~”
