Chapter 29 by neo_kenka neo_kenka

A bad sign, for you.

Try to hurry it along before she turns.

You just have to get the garbage out of sight before she turns around. Easy, you tell yourself, and suddenly bolt with the body, accomplished with ease with your powerful muscles-

Thud.

Of course, with your strength, you did manage to rush with one end of the corpse in tow... and pulled the other end out of Devi's struggling grasp. The ankles in the massive black sack hit the floor audibly, and Mrs. Fields turns to see the source of the sudden sound. You look up to see her surprised expression... while still holding the unusually human-shaped sack, with one foot in the door. Shit.

"G-Good evening, Mrs. Fields!" You **** a wide grin, clenching your teeth in anger with yourself. She flinches back, clutching her purse anew before glancing over at Devi. You don't even stop to consider how she's reacting, and continue to feed the bag, section-by-section, into the trash room. "Big garbage night for me, haha."

"O-oh..." She barely says it, more making the exaggerating gesture with her mouth as she gives a long, hard look at the bag... one you pray isn't too obviously containing the lifeless form of a human. When at last the bag is out of her sight, she nods her goodbye to you both before finally leaving, seemingly not alarmed by your cargo... and your lungs burn as you hold your breath. Only after you hear the gentle sound of the elevator laboring to climb the building do you finally exhale, and continue the task before you.

"Do you think she-"

"Shh!" You hush Devi in a tone too harsh, but you can hardly be blamed; you don't even know if this will work anymore, and certainly you're out of options now that you've clearly tried to dispose of the evidence. Devi quiets down per your command, and sulks as she walks into the tiny trash room with you. A single metal clank, some shuffling, and the whistle of a large object being chucked down the chute later, the deed is done... and now you can only wait and see if it somehow comes back to you.

You both return to the apartment, shaken and worried.
