You destroyed Kaiba’s datafile and now you and Zero are heading to an underground nightclub downtown that belongs to one of Kaiba’s competitors. You receive a call and patch it through to your earpiece. Kaiba’s voice crackles in your head.
“I told you not to screw up again. Where you runnin’ to, huh? You think I can’t find you?”
“Look Kaiba, what was I supposed to do?”
“I ain’t a very forgiving guy, Darce. I know a lotta gangsters who’d pay handsomely for you….”
Disconnect.
A bouncer with mirrored shades is staring down at you. Zero whispers something into his ear and suddenly you’re in another nightclub.
“Kaiba ain’t as smart as he thinks he is,” says Zero. “I know someone who can help.”
In a corner booth sits a woman with a martini glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Zero introduces her as Rosa, Kaiba’s wife. You pretend you don’t know her.
“You got it?” Zero says to Rosa.
She slides a thumb-drive across the table. “Right here. Just like I promised.”
You stare at the thumb-drive in amazement. “Is that?”
“A replica of the datafile you just destroyed,” says Zero. “Do you have any idea what’s on this? If we get into the info from this USB, well, we won’t be the ones running from Kaiba.” He kisses Rosa on the cheek. “You’re a lifesaver. Now if you’ll excuse me I have some calls to make.”
When Zero leaves, Rosa turns to you. “Hey, you wanna dance?”
You and Rosa head to the dancefloor, she puts her arms over your shoulders and leans in close. “I thought you’d call.”
“What, are you insane?”
“It was just a kiss babe, nobody saw it. Don’t need to be afraid now, Kaiba already wants you dead. Hey, you trust him?” She glances at Zero standing in the corner on his phone. “I wouldn’t trust him.”
“What do you want?”
“I want you to get me outta here, Darce, away from this city. C’mon, just me and you. Like you promised, remember?”
You glance at Zero and then back to Rosa. “I’ll need the datafile.”
“I gotta know you mean it. Show me this is for real.”
YOU NEED TO DECIDE.
