Yooku Sangari gathered her thoughts. Or at least, that was what she told herself she was doing. In reality, there was only really one thought to try and gather, and that was the thought of hitting Rafferty Barnes in the face until his head fell off his neck. She tried telling herself she was better than this, but it didnât work. She wasnât better than this. She was this. A maelstrom of anger and violent tendencies she could barely control, and he was the one who had pushed her over the edge. No. That was neither fair, nor true. He was the straw that had broken the camelâs back. She was going to have a breakdown, no matter what. The doctors had told her it was only a matter of time. Rafferty Barnes, though, was the catalyst. The insufferable little wanker in the wrong place at the wrong time. She shouldnât blame him. But she did. Sheâd nearly lost everything, after all; had certainly lost her career. Nobody had dared hire her since, and it was of absolutely no comfort to her that heâd pressed his own self-destruct button as well. Heâd pressed hers first, and sheâd hate him forever for that. Thank God Stillwater had come along and taken a chance on her. It wasnât the same, though; her work here was never going to win her any awards. Nobody of any importance would ever get to see it, and that was what made it such a colossal waste of time. Still, the money was better than anything sheâd ever been paid before, and had undoubtedly saved her from bankruptcy. And when sheâd started to put the pieces of her broken life back together again, thereâd been time for childrenâ¦her real saviours. Sheâd probably never have had kids, if not forâ¦no. She wasnât going to think that. She hated him, and that was that. Nevertheless, the thought of her children had the desired effect. Her heartbeat slowed, and so did her breathing. Had she really just stormed off a set like one of those diva actors she used to laugh at? Oh, the shame.
Thoughts of violence slowly started to be replaced with thoughts of a cigarette. She was back in her favourite spot, although favourite was probably a strong word to describe any part of a warehouse. She had her view of the sky, though, and clean air in her lungs. And those moonsâ¦
The sound of raised voices drifted to her from across the street. The area was pretty much deserted, so there were no lamps to show her who the voices belonged to. Not gamers, she hoped; they werenât ready yet. Realistically, though, it couldnât really be anybody else. The game was on. Still, considering they thought they were creeping into the lair of a deadly demon, they could have made more of an effort to keep quiet, couldnât they? Were they arguing? It certainly sounded like it. She sighed. Oh, what I wouldnât give to be working with professionals again.
