Zaya Golovina Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 @Morrigan Zaya eyed the candy bar but didn’t take it, just curled up more in her space. She didn’t want to leave; she didn’t want to risk it. “…Who are you?” She asked weakly. She had seen someone walk past her hiding spot numerous times before in the past, always quickly but she was sure it was a woman. They seemed to be checking in and nothing more but part of her hoped it was that person. The few times she saw that person she felt oddly safe, even after everything that had happened.

Josephine Sousa Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 "Name's Joe," she said to her. "I only know you're here because I'd come by once in a while after you were with the, now dead, bastard. I'm the one that sometimes leaves bullets inside when I hear you cry." @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 @Morrigan Zaya nodded, more so to herself. She still had a few left over, she usually spent most of them on food and, if need be, bandages after making up a story to the doctors. "Zaya..." She muttered to Joe, finding it an odd name for someone who sounded like a woman. Soon her thoughts when back to that bastard, she knew he was dead--she knew she should be running around and celebrating something like this but she couldn't bring herself to move. "I heard it..." Zaya muttered. "Are they still in his office?" She asked quietly, hoping this 'Joe' wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Joe shook her head even though the girl couldn’t see her. “Is who still in the office?” She asked the girl seeing if she’d talk more. Right now it sounded like she had heard who was in the office with Belikov which meant she might have overheard what happened. @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 @Morrigan "...It sounded like another man at first, then a while later I heard a woman..." Zaya said "I was about to head in for...my job." She muttered softly, going silent once more, ignoring what constituted as her 'other job' in this shithole of a station. "When I went to open the door though I heard someone talking inside so I waited then they started arguing. I was gonna leave but I heard something get knocked over...then some shouting before I heard that...fatass gasping for air." Zaya continued. "The door opened and I ran off. I got scared, I thought they'd come for me next. So I came here." Zaya said, gesturing to the nook she was in, mostly to herself. "I can still sort of hear in Belikov's office from here...I was gonna leave when I heard the man leave but then I heard a woman. It sounded like she was searching for something in there before she started...breathing funny then she ran out, yelling for help." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 "Do you remember anything that they were talking about? What the woman was looking for?" Joe asked. "Remember. I'm not gonna hurt you. Never thought you shoulda been in that office with that bastard anyways," and Joe would have gotten her out but honestly if it wasn't this girl it would be another and in the end it was just something Joe couldn't prevent no matter if she'd want to. In the Metro it was a dog eat dog world and unfortunately Zaya was one that was getting eaten. Made Joe think a little harder about taking off with her dad and Kaz, that was for sure. @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 @Morrigan Zaya was silent for a moment, thinking back on everything she could hear through the walls. "...Belikov and the man--I think he called him Gleb? Something like that. It seemed like they knew each other. Gleb wanted to know about some maintenance tunnels, and some man named Blok and a woman named Katya. Belikov didn't want to answer then Gleb started talking about Belikov's niece...a girl named Nadia, how he'd hurt her if he didn't--or that he'd have someone else do it if he couldn't...Then Belikov told him something about Serpukhovskaya I think, I heard them say that a couple of times. Then Belikov asked him if if there was anything else to talk about. I heard Gleb's voice then...he said something like: "the watchers thank you for your service." then I heard...what sounded like someone trying to run, quick footsteps, but no one left the room. I think Gleb ran at Belikov...I think he tried to fight Gleb..." Zaya soon became silent again, when her voice returned it sounded more conflicted than scared or upset. "...It sounded like Belikov tried to get something from his desk...I know he has--had--a gun in there. He's...shown it to me before." She muttered. "...He tried to get the drawers open, at least that is what it sounded like then I heard him...yelling out 'no', I think I heard someone get hit then I heard that bastard start to choke and wheeze alot. Then the doors opened and I saw someone walk past a few minutes later--I didn't want to leave, I didn't want whoever it was to see me. I thought they'd kill me next...a few minutes later the woman came by. I don't know what she was looking for...I heard something heavy move around but it sounded different. It wasn't like she was checking the dresser or moving a box; I think she was trying to check if Belikov was still alive. Then she said something about that Gleb...good job or something like that, then she ran out screaming." Zaya explained. "...I know I should've been braver, should've found someone once the man left, but I was scared." Zaya began, sounding like she was slowly starting to panic.

Josephine Sousa Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 "You didn't have to be brave," Joe said. "You did what any normal person would do and protected yourself," she advised the young girl. "No shame in that," especially not down here Joe thought to herself. Men like Bellikov were lucky she went Spartan and not whore. She'd always have a knife on her to cut off some little dick that didn't know the word no. "Sounds like what you heard was the... Gleb guy killed Belikov and the 'maid' is covering it up," Joe said. She shifted to pull out a few bullets from her pocket and set it down at the door. "Get yourself dinner," she said pushing herself up. "I'll come and check on you later," she advised brushing the dirt off her pants. @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 @Morrigan As Joe brushed her pants off, Zaya reached out, her hand dragging the bullets inside towards her. "...Thank you..." She muttered. "I will..." She added, looking the bullets over in her hands, part of her ready to burst into tears over the emotional roller coaster of today but then she remembered what Joe said...'covering it up'... "Why would they cover it up?" Zaya asked, hoping she hadn't missed Joe walking off yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Joe shrugged even though the girl couldn't see her. "I don't know but what you said leads me tah believe that's what was what was happening. I want you to get dinner and come straight back here or go to my place. Yah know where it is?" @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 @Morrigan Zaya nodded, Joe's suspicions made sense even if there was no motive to be found yet then she heard Joe's next question. "I...I'm not entirely sure but I know where the rangers live...I can ask around, I'm sure I can find it..." Zaya explained nervously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 "Just go inside and crash on the bed. There should be some vodka in there. Don't drink my tequila," she added. @Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaya Golovina Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 @Morrigan Zaya nodded once more. "Ok...I will." She mumbled, soon beginning to slightly crawl out of her hiding spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Before Zaya started to shimmy out of her spot Joe had left to go back to Dagonet to tell him what she had figured out. @Dragon @AnOriginalAccountNam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir "Volodya" Grachyov Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 @Dragon @Morrigan Joe made her way to where Dagonet, Voloyda and Valkov had gone with Natasha. In one of the old maintenance rooms the machinery had been cleared, a table set up and some lights. One ranger had referred to it as something from some 'cheesy crime film' and for all intents and purposes that was how it looked. It was bare bones, and to some, intimidating. Soon enough she found Dagonet with the other two, the interrogation seemingly taking a small break. "She's something else...I'll give her that." Valkov muttered.
