del throws up behind gas station. wipes mouth.

D: must’ve been those hors d'oeuvres

Rh: you barely ate any

D: good thing, too or id be sicker.

Rh: right. (hands carrier bag) you’re really gonna eat all that? gas station food can’t be any better.

D: yeah? father says I look weak, so i have to bulk back up.

rh: if you say so.

approach reamer

D: I’ve never gone through the pleb side before, nice to see how the other half live

re: flightless Avians aren’t plebs, some of them are richer than you even

D: Only the athletes and, like, Penguin mafia. And sure, but they can’t fly, so -

Re: doesn’t make them lesser

D: the system says it does

Re: the system., (flashbacks to suki/scra) right

driving, approaching check point to east coast.

Re: you two still dont have anklets, do you.

D: nope

Re: (signs in annoyance) keep quiet and let me do the talking

pulls up to guard. show him looking at tablet with outline of car and only one dot showing where reamer’s sitting. ID’s him as commissioner

G: Commissioner. You companions are untagged.

Re: they’re in witness protection, i’m transporting them to a new safehouse and there needs to be no trace of their location.

G:...i see.

Re: if there’s a problem that me being the Commissioner can’t bypass, I’ll be more than happy to get my mother involved.

G: n-no, sir. all seems in order. have a safe journey.

drive off

D: where would you be if you couldnt play the Mother card whenever you got in trouble, huh?

Re: not as far on my own merit as I’d like, I’d wager.

drive along clifftop as sun rises. del whistles

D: this is what those bastards at the Port Academy get to see every day? No wonder they’re all so smug.

Re: everyone at The Roost are smug, too

D: yeah, but theyre all bluffing because they dont have this

Re: “they’re”? we’re the worst of them

d: where’s all this introspection come from? you’re literally top of the food chain, if anyone’s got a right to be haughty its you.

Re: it’s not all it’s cracked up to be

D: “not all its cracked up to be”?? said by someone who doesnt appreciate just how good he has it.

Re: maybe

D: (mutters) maybe, my ass

Re: we’re here.

D: you still havent even told us what we’re doing here.

Re: because you came along uninvited

d: still, it’s rude to just take someone to an unknown destination, basically kidnapping

Re: kidnap - look, you two stay here and - (ky’s dad smacks into them as he stumbles out an alley.

Re: what the f -

Kd: outta the way eagle scum -

Kieera: what the flock, garek - i’ve told you -

G: this damn eagle came outta nowhere -

kieera and reamer glare at eachother.

K: Imperius. what’re you doing this side of the island.

R: i can go wherever i please and not have to answer to the likes of you.

del raises eyebrow (to rhaast “d’you think they -” _”shhh”)

G: Imperius? like that Director. you’re her son, ain’t ya, eagle. oh, this is perfect. this is rich. that bitch doesnt know whats comin for her -

R: what did you just say

K: garek -

G: you didnt like that, did ya kid? if ya ma’s a bitch, what does that make you i wonder -

R: say that again and you’ll regret it

G: your ma’s a bitch, and she’s got some secrets that’ll make your feathers frizz, im sure of it

K: he’s a drunk, he doesnt know what he’s saying -

(garek spits on reamers shoe. a crowd is gathering)

R:(to kieera) is this your relative

K: i - no, he’s not.

R: good. then there’ll be no one to bail him out. Guards - arrest this man for treason and have him transported to the max security prison.

K: you can’t -

R: do you want to go too, for aiding this traitor? didnt think so.

G: eagle skum - yer all sheep - you don’t know the truth! you don’t know all the lies! where’s yer dad, eagle? bet she never told ya, did she? maybe you should ask her. see if she lies about that, too

R: what did you - (turns back to garek who’s being put into a van and driven off)

D: that was a bit harsh, dont you think?

R: the people need to be taught where speaking out about the government gets you. come on, we’ve got a bit to go. (pulls out map tablet)

fly to cliff edge, see ky’s old house.

R: it should be around here…there. the entrance.

land outside a cave. its the same one the crows took keelee down. brush some plants out the way.

D: ugh, are we gonna have to go in there?

R: no. i know exactly where it leads. i just needed to confirm its existence. back in the car, we’ve got a long drive back.

back in car in canyons.

D: i cant believe we went all that way juts to look at a tunnel for 2 seconds and arrest a drunk osprey.

Re: again, i didnt ask you to come.

D:...i had fun, though. id do a roadtrip again

Re: ill keep that in mind.

D: who’s that?

approach aquila house. brek leaning against pillar. reamer pulls up and gets out

Re: come to finish me off, then?

B: can we talk? inside? (eyes del)

Re: see you later, del.

leaves del outside with vulture.

rhaast: looks like his eagle friend’s back. where does that leave you, i wonder

d: …let’s go home. im sure my father’s waiting for me.
