Chapter six

The others, most of them, acted like the press showing up was nearly normal. Cindy was annoyed by it, and tried to stay in the house, being halfway sane, but Brian took her by the arm, and pulled her outside with them. He, it seemed, was the spokesman for the group effort, and while Ron and Lyn got to hide, like they should all have been doing, Hobbs moved from the back, on the roof of the garage, to the top of the house. No one saw it happen, but she could make out the words over his head, which had a lot of illustrations about how to fight the crowd gathering below.

Then Proxy began to speak, and told them all everything. The press barely had time to get cameras on him, and a few of the techs were scrambling to go live with it, as he announced the coup plan. Then he went over how the IPB had lived for years, and how, yes, some of them were disgruntled about it.

"But, rest assured, no one is really a cannibal, or thinks we should be. We also managed to catch the serial killer that's been hunting men in this area. Which is what we were brought in for. It turned out to be an Infected person, and the situation has been dealt with. There will be no more killings of that nature here." He didn't give her name, or say that she was dead, but everyone simply assumed that was what he would be going for. After all, he was Proxy.

The death that came out of nowhere.

Instead of going in, like she would have then, he got Prime and Impulse to fly around in the sky for a bit, showing off, then did it. The press still wanted to grill them on things, including who he was dating at the moment. The clear impression left was that if he didn't have someone, the whole thing could be spun as him being a homosexual. No one believed it, but that would be good content anyway, so the person asking would run with that without blinking.

Brian got that too, and actually blushed. It was kind of adorable, really. Cindy raised her hand, and smiled at the cameras.

"That would be me. It's new, so, not that official yet. This is our second date that you're interrupting. It is Thanksgiving though, so I guess that makes sense. Someone has to be a pain, right?" She smiled about it, and people actually laughed. The problem then was that they all wanted to know if she was Infected, what her name was and if she had any communicable diseases or insanity that they could exploit. She read this from several of the people, and managed to hold her face calm. Charlotte was waiting for her to blow it, and really wanted her to end things before that happened. Scott however, was really helpful, actually going over what she needed to do in order to look good for them.
