Chapter 4
Me:
You were right
Cactus:
Lori?
It's 3am
What happened?
Me:
I almost got raped
That happened
Cactus:
God
By Ryan?
Me:
Jup
You were right
What do you get from me?
Cactus:
We never discussed that
But I'll give you my name
Me:
No!
You won
I can't get your name now
Cactus:
Still gonna give it to you
I'm Clint
Nice to meet ya
Me:
Hey Clint
I'm Lori
Clint:
What did you do about Ryan?
Me:
Oh I kicked him in the balls and ran
Clint:
Whahaha amazing
He will feel that for a long time
Me:
I hope so
Clint:
Are you all right?
Me:
I'm good
Just need to sleep it off
Good night
Clint:
Good night Lori
Next day
Clint:
Hello
Me:
Hi!
Clint:
Excitement gone?
Me:
Partly
I feel proud I got away
Not many did
Clint:
I can't stand people who do such things
Me:
Me neither
I need to do some work
Talk later?
Clint:
If I don't have work
Yes
Me:
Awesome!
See ya
Clint:
See ya
Five hours later
Clint:
I'm beat
Me:
What did you do?
Clint:
Put some illegal traffic to a stop
Me:
Hard task?
Clint:
They weren't exactly cooperative
Me:
That's expecting
Those people are violent
Clint:
Yeah well so are we
Me:
Yeah cops are sometimes
too violent
Clint:
I'm not a cop
Me:
You're not?
Clint:
No I could never
I don't agree with half of what they do
I better work if I have a say in the matter
Me:
Sounds like an Avenger
I wish I could photograph them in action
but somehow I'm always out of town
when anything happens
Clint:
Can't you call them or something?
Me:
Do you have their numbers?
It's impossible to get through Stark Industries
and the others I don't know how to reach
Clint:
That sucks
Me:
Yeah
And when the Daily Bugle sought
someone to photograph Spider-Man
I was too late to apply
Clint:
Well maybe an opportunity will come
Me:
I doubt that
But thanks for the confidence!
Clint:
Always
Ya know
My wife needs a hand with the baby
Me:
Oh go!
Don't let me hold you up
Help the child
Clint:
We'll talk later
Me:
No no
Spend some time with your family
Then I'll call mine
Clint:
Good
Another time then
Me:
Bye Clint
Clint:
Bye Lori
I was hovering my thumb above the number of Amara. Should I call? Well, yes. I told Clint I would do it first thing today, but I was delaying it.
Whatever. I'm just going to do it.
