“To the destruction of Kaiba.” You drink.
Your neural implant immediately detects the toxin, but it’s unfamiliar, and you realise that it’s designed to bypass any countermeasures. Then you really feel it kick in – the nausea, sweating, weakness.
“What is this?” you say to Zero. “This whole time you were still working for Kaiba?”
“I’m glad you drank the poison. It’s such a clean way to go, and I could tell you still had some suspicions.”
You try to attack Zero but you slip off your bar stool and fall to the floor.
“The boss was disappointed in you. You go behind his back, mess around with his wife, you bail on a job just cos some cops show up, and now you’re here plotting to take him out.”
You start to black out. Zero is crouching down in front of you now.
“You should have run off with Rosa while you had the chance. You would have died either way, mind you, but it might have taken me a little longer to track you down.”
You do regret not leaving with Rosa, but most of all you feel stupid and angry for trusting Zero. Your last words. “Fuck you.”
